NORFOLK, Va. – Norfolk State University baseball players Danny Hosley, Dionte Brown and Nolan Manzer earned spots on the Virginia Sports Information Directors (VaSID) All-State University Baseball Team, the organization announced on Tuesday.

Hosley, the 2021 MEAC Player of the Year, earned a spot on the first team at the utility position. Brown, an outfielder, and Manzer, a relief pitcher, were voted to the second team. The trio was instrumental in leading NSU to its first-ever MEAC baseball championship in 2021.

Hosley picked up first-team All-MEAC honors at shortstop and second-team all-conference accolades as a starting pitcher. He batted .357 with 24 runs batted in while also amassing a 7-2 record and 4.01 ERA in 12 appearances on the mound. Hosley was a finalist for the John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Award.

Brown was also a first-team All-MEAC selection. The Spartans' lead-off man hit .307 with 36 runs scored and 11 extra-base hits. His 19 stolen bases led the MEAC, and he played errorless defense in center field.

Manzer was one of the Spartans' top arms out of the bullpen. The true freshman right hander made 14 appearances and went 1-1 with one save and a sterling 0.73 ERA. He allowed just 10 hits and struck out 29 batters in 24.2 innings pitched.

Old Dominion's Kyle Battle was voted the VaSID Player of the Year and Liberty's Trevor Delaite was tabbed Pitcher of the Year. VCU's Tyler Locklear was named Rookie of the Year, while Virginia's Brian O'Connor was selected Coach of the Year.
