GREENSBORO, N.C. (June 23, 2025) - The American Baseball Coaches and Rawlings Sporting Goods have announced the 2025 National Position Players of the Year on Monday, with Lubbock Christian senior infielder Brevin McCool winning for the NCAA Division II level. 

The ABCA/Rawlings Position Players of the Year are selected by ABCA coaches committees from nine divisions of amateur baseball. Founded in 1945, the American Baseball Coaches Association is the primary professional organization for baseball coaches at the amateur level. Its over 15,000 members represent all 50 states and 41 countries.

McCool becomes the consensus Division II Player of the Year with this newest honor, having already claimed the title from the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association and the Division II Conference Commissioners Association. The Hobbs, N.M., native is already a consensus First Team All-American as well, claiming honors from all three organizations. He was an All-South Central Region First Team selection and Regional Player of the Year three times too. The Lone Star Conference honored him as the Player of the Year, Academic Player of the Year and a First Team selection. 

In his final season at Lubbock Christian, McCool hit .406 and added in 47 walks for a .507 on-base percentage. McCool hit 31 home runs this year, breaking the LSC single-game, single-season and career home run records in the process. He added in 15 doubles and four triples for a .936 slugging percentage and 205 total bases while driving in 84 runs and scoring 76 more.

He tied LCU's single-season home run record, which was set by Barry Wilkins in 1987 and then tied by Keith Hart in his player of the year season. His 61 career round-trippers have him tied for second all-time in Chap history, and his 57 career doubles are tied for the eighth most. McCool's 233 RBI are the fifth-most by a Chap in a career, and he is also tied for first all-time with 18 sacrifice flies.

Lubbock Christian finished the 2025 season 34-23 overall, finishing fourth in the Lone Star Conference standings with a 30-18 league record. The Chaps reached the NCAA Tournament for the third consecutive season and sixth time in program history.
