Hunter, a native of Christiansburg, Virginia, earns All-MEC First Team for the first time in his career after moving up from the All-MEC Second Team the last two years. Hunter was voted to the All-MEC First Team at the utility position as he played five different positions this season: second base, third base, center field, pitcher and catcher. Hunter's primary position was second base as he enjoyed a career year by batting .344 with three home runs, eight doubles, a team-best three triples and 29 RBI. He also swiped 14 bases and sported a .983 field percentage. Hunter's best production came in the middle part of the season when he generated seven multi-hit games over a 14-game span from March 29-April 15. Included in that stretch was a go-ahead grand slam against UVa.-Wise. Hunter hit a team-best .402 in 30 MEC games.
Robinson, a native of Raleigh, North Carolina, was 6-4 on the mound this spring with 56 strikeouts in 55.1 innings. He ranked fifth in the conference in strikeouts. Robinson was the winning pitcher in three of the four shutouts that the Mountain Lions recorded this spring. He held Fairmont State to four hits and no runs over six innings in the middle of March. The following week Robinson surrendered one hit over six innings at Salem. He struck out seven batters against both FSU and Salem. And the third blanking for Robinson came April 5 at home against Davis & Elkins when he allowed two hits in five shutout innings.
Bostic finished the regular season by hitting .312 with seven home runs, 37 RBI, 15 doubles and a pair of triples. The Logan, West Virginia native was second in the MEC in doubles while his RBI count was just outside the top 10. He registered 10 multi-RBI games and had 12 multi-hit games. Bostic finished the regular season strong with six RBI in the final four games against Glenville State while hitting two home runs in the final series of 2025.

One of the best power hitters in the MEC, Swaim was second in the MEC in both home runs (13) and RBI (49) while recording a .354 average with 12 doubles. The Winston-Salem, North Carolina native split time behind the plate and as CU's designated hitter. Swaim's .671 slugging percentage was second in the MEC behind MEC Player of the Year Jared Campbell of Point Park. The hottest stretch of the season for Swaim came in late March and early April when he had six home runs and 24 RBI over a 12-game stretch.
N. DiSanti became Concord's everyday shortstop early in the season, and never looked back as he batted .362 with seven doubles, four home runs and 40 RBI while fielding .964 at the premier defensive position in baseball. DiSanti tied for eight in the MEC in RBI while his on-base percentage of .442 was just outside the top 10 in the league. His 64 hits were fourth and his 118 assists in the field are the most in the MEC heading into the postseason. The Wilmington, North Carolina native was one off his brother's pace for most multi-hit games on the team with 19. Â
In his first and only season on the mound for the Maroon and Gray, Powell led Concord in wins (seven), strikeouts (57) and innings pitched (72.1). Powell was among the best in the MEC in all three categories as well as his punchout total was fourth and he led the conference in innings pitched. His seven wins were second in the conference. The Princeton, West Virginia native fired a complete game against Davis & Elkins as he only allowed two earned runs and struck out seven. He returned later in the season to limit MEC South Division Champion Charleston, giving up three runs and punching out a season-best eight April 25. Powell's five complete games were the most in the MEC.
