Sioux Falls, S.D. – The American Baseball Coaches Association has announced their 2024 ABCA NCAA Div. II Region All-Defensive Teams. USF Baseball's Brady Klehr was named to the ABCA DII Central Region All-Defensive team.
Brady is one of only two NSIC student-athletes to be named to this team. The teams are voted on by members of the American Baseball Coaches Association and the process is led by the ABCA NCAA Div. II All-America & Coach of the Year Committee.
Klehr had an outstanding year in the Outfield for USF Baseball. He had 71 chances for the year and recorded 64 putouts. He also tallied 7 assists which tied for the USF team lead for outfielders.
