Full Release
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (EMUEagles.com) - Eastern Michigan University baseball student-athlete Mike Monahan (Saline, Mich.-Saline) was named as an Academic All-District selection, the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) announced today, July 1.
The senior earned the honor for the first time in his career, and became the first player recognized for the award for the EMU baseball program since Zachary Owings in 2019.
Bursting on to the scene as the baseball team's designated hitter in 2021, Monahan set career-highs in virtually every category over his 26 games. He added an impressive 3.74 GPA in the classroom en route to earning his degree in business management. In 22 starts, he belted 28 hits, 26 of which were in May, the most single-month hits for an Eagle since 2019, 14 RBIs, a .451 slugging percentage, and a .386 on-base percentage. The Saline, Mich. native also put together a team-best 13-game hitting streak this season. The senior put together his best series of the season at St. Bonaventure, May 1, totaling seven hits and five RBIs, including going 4-for-6 in game one. Monahan also launched his first career home run against Toledo, May 11.
The 2020-21 Academic All-District® Baseball Team, selected by CoSIDA, recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. The CoSIDA Academic All-America® program separately recognizes baseball honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.
First-team Academic All-District® honorees advance to the CoSIDA Academic All-America® ballot. First-, second- and third-team Academic All-America® honorees will be announced in late July.
