Valparaiso University baseball senior third baseman Kaleb Hannahs (West Terre Haute, Ind. / West Vigo) was named to the All-Missouri Valley Conference Second Team as the league announced its awards and honors at Monday evening’s postseason banquet in Evansville, Ind.

Hannahs posted a team-best .330 batting average in 24 Missouri Valley Conference contests this season, recording nine extra-base hits in league play including three home runs. One of those home runs came in his final collegiate game on Saturday vs. No. 20 Indiana State. He reached base at a .400 clip in league games, ranking second on the team, and slugged .485 in MVC play.

Hannahs became a two-time all-league honoree as he was previously named to the All-MVC Second Team as a freshman in 2021. Following that season, he also earned the 2021 MVC Freshman of the Year Award and was named a Collegiate Baseball Newspaper Freshman All-American. In addition, Hannahs earned a spot on the 2022 MVC All-Defensive Team.
