Iowa baseball earns eight All-Big Ten honors
Iowa baseball earns eight All-Big Ten honors
With the Big Ten Baseball Tournament underway from Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Neb., the conference announced its numerous regular-season honors Tuesday morning, for which eight Iowa baseball (32-20-1, 21-9 Big Ten) players earned recognition.
Although the Hawkeyes faltered mightily down the stretch, which ultimately cost the program a chance at the conference regular-season crown and top overall seed in the postseason tournament, there is still lots to celebrate regarding Iowa's performance throughout their 21-9 record within the Big Ten.
Beginning with the strength of the Hawkeyes team, junior starting pitchers Cade Obermueller and Aaron Savary were both named to the All-Big Ten First Team. At the same time, redshirt senior Reece Beuter was placed on the All-Big Ten Second Team.
Obermueller earned first-team All-Big Ten honors after going 4-3 with a 3.30 ERA in 14 regular-season starts, where he posted four quality starts and struck out 107 batters over 76.1 innings. His 107 punchouts lead the Big Ten and rank fourth in program history in a single season.
Savary earned his recognition after going 7-1, including 5-0 in conference play, with a 3.74 ERA in 14 regular-season starts. The right-hander recorded a team-high six quality starts and struck out 81 batters in 77 innings.
Beuter earned second-team honors following a 6-0 record and ranking fourth in the conference with a 3.14 ERA in 13 regular-season starts. He held opponents to a .196 batting average and fanned 66 over 63 innings on the hill.
The conference's recognition of the Hawkeyes' pitching makes Iowa the only school to have all three weekend starters named to the All-Big Ten lists.
Joining Savary and Obermueller in the First Team class is redshirt sophomore Reese Moore, who finished with a batting average of .319, .454 on-base percentage, and .577 slugging percentage at the plate to go along with a team-leading nine home runs, two triples, and 45 RBIs. During conference play, Moore hit a batting average of .305 with nine doubles, six home runs, and 26 RBIs.
Accompanying Beuter on the Second Team list is graduate student Daniel Rogers, who finished with a batting average of .262, .405 on-base percentage, and .470 slugging percentage with 11 doubles, seven home runs, and 41 RBIs in 47 regular-season starts in his lone season in Iowa City.
Senior Ben Wilmes was the lone Hawkeye to earn Third Team honors as the Johnston, Iowa, native slashed a batting average of .313, .402 on-base percentage, and .513 slugging percentage to accompany seven home runs, 16 doubles, one triple, and a career-high 41 RBIs.
Redshirt freshman Jaixon Frost was named to the All-Freshman Team after he finished with a batting average of .316, .407 on-base percentage, and .500 slugging percentage with 23 RBIs, 12 extra base hits, and three home runs in 37 regular-season appearances. The Kellerton, Iowa, native also hit .309 in Big Ten play with 15 RBIs, six doubles, and two home runs.
Rounding out the eight Hawkeyes honored is redshirt freshman Max Burt, who was selected as Iowa's Big Ten Sportsmanship recipient. The distinction is presented to student-athletes who display sportsmanship and ethical behavior, are in good academic standing, and demonstrate good citizenship outside of athletics.
Iowa's seven All-Big Ten selections give head coach Rick Heller 47 selections in his 12 seasons in Iowa City. Heller has coached at least one first-team All-Big Ten selection in 10 of his 11 seasons when awards were handed out (there were no honors in 2020 due to the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic).
The third-seeded Hawkeyes' first game of the 2025 Big Ten Baseball Tournament will be tomorrow vs. No. 10 seed Rutgers (28-27, 15-15) at 6 p.m. CT from Charles Schwab Field.
The entire tournament will be broadcast on the Big Ten Network. All of Iowa's games can also be heard through the Hawkeyes Radio Network alongside play-by-play voice John Leo and color analyst John Evans.

WNBA Star Did Not Like What Paige Bueckers Told Her After Wings' Fourth Straight Loss
WNBA Star Did Not Like What Paige Bueckers Told Her After Wings' Fourth Straight Loss originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Paige Bueckers was unable to take the floor on Friday night as the Dallas Wings lost their fourth consecutive game. The highly touted rookie is still under the league's concussion protocol and was forced to miss her third straight contest. Advertisement Bueckers had to watch the Wings suffer a 93-79 loss against the Los Angeles Sparks as Dallas fell to 1-8 on the season. After the game, Bueckers shared a brief moment on the court with Sparks star Kelsey Plum, who helped lead L.A. to victory on Friday with 11 points, five rebounds, nine assists and a block in 29 minutes of action. It isn't clear what exactly Bueckers told Plum during their postgame exchange, but it appears that the rookie was talking some smack to the two-time WNBA champion guard. As the WNBA said in its caption, Plum did not seem to like what Bueckers told her. The three-time All-Star made her feelings about the conversation clear as she spoke to the camera. Advertisement "I'll remember this day," Plum said. "Rookies talking [expletive] is crazy. Rookies are built different the [expletive] is going on?" LA Sparks guard Kelsey Plum (10) reacts in the first half against the Atlanta Dream. © Kirby Lee-Imagn Images Plum, a former WNBA All-Star Game MVP, is widely considered one of the top guards in the league today. Bueckers, on the other hand, is a pivotal part of the next generation of stars in the league. Bueckers clearly hasn't shown any fear of Plum, and it seems that the audacity of the 23-year-old to talk smack – especially after a loss – took the veteran by surprise.
