First Team:

Will Rettig (Pitcher | Senior | Perrysburg, Ohio | Pitcher of The Year) - Rettig has amassed a nation-leading 11-0 record while also breaking the Denison career strikeout record en route to earning the NCAC Pitcher of the Year award. The righty has recorded a 2.33 ERA over 69.2 innings, striking out 60 batters and walking just 13. This marks Rettig's third All-NCAC nod, earning 2nd-Team honors in 2024 and 2025.

The dynamic lefty has made starts in left field, first base, catcher, and designated hitter en route to being named the NCAC Player of the Year. This is Lutte's third year in a row making All-NCAC and his second major award. The junior was 1st-Team in 2025, 2nd-Team in 2024, and the 2024 Newcomer of the Year.

Andrew Montero (Pitcher | First-Year | Upper Arlington, Ohio | Newcomer of the Year) - Montero, the dominant first-year, rewrote Denison record books with a 16-strikeout performance against Ohio Wesleyan to set the single-game strikeout record. The southpaw leads the nation in strikeouts per nine innings (15.40) and leads the conference in WHIP(0.87).

Second Team:

Andrew Fazio (Catcher | Junior | Minneapolis, Minn.) - Fazio has leveled up his all-conference nod, moving from 3rd team in 2025 to 2nd team in 2026.

Nate Lloyd (Outfielder | Sophomore | Oakwood, Ohio) - Lloyd has burst onto the scene for the Big Red as a sophomore, working into a regular starter in the outfield. Lloyd is an explosive defender, helping the deep outfield core throughout the season. With a .400 batting average and 1.132 OPS, Lloyd has contributed to the batting order in a multitude of ways.

Jack Rollo (Designated Hitter | Junior | Chesterfield, Mo.) - Rollo earned his second consecutive All-NCAC nod, this year as a designated hitter. With Fazio behind the dish and Lutte filling in as an outfielder, Rollo has taken over as a consistent starter in the DH spot.
