Rockford University senior outfielder Neil Freeman garnered two additional postseason awards on Tuesday, when both the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) and D3baseball.com released their 2022 all-region teams. Freeman was named Second Team All-Region by the ABCA and Third Team All-Region by D3baseball.com. Freeman becomes just the fourth RU outfielder to receive all-region honors since Rockford joined the NACC and the first since 2010 (Eric Nicholson). He is also the first Regent baseball player to earn all-region status since the 2019 season.

This marks the second and third postseason awards for Freeman, as he was also voted First Team All-NACC a few weeks ago.

He finished third in the NACC in home runs (10), seventh in slugging percentage (.628), fourteenth in doubles (13) and runs batted in (39), twenty-third in hits (50) and twenty-fourth in batting average (.338). Additionally, he was one of only nine players in the conference to have at least a .300 batting average, a .400 on-base percentage and a .600 slugging percentage (.338/.407/.628).
