JACKSON – Headlined by five first-team selections, a total of seven Northwest baseball players received All-MACJC honors, the conference announced on Monday.

Sophomore infielder Ben Van Cleve, sophomore outfielder Hayden Leatherwood, redshirt freshman outfielder Brayland Skinner and freshmen pitchers Dalton Fowler and Parker Stinnett garnered first-team honors, while sophomore pitcher Carson Stinnett and freshman reliever Colton Peel earned second-team consideration.

An Ole Miss signee, Van Cleve capped off his Northwest career with a strong sophomore campaign, batting .375 with 47 RBIs and 14 home runs. Van Cleve got hot entering the postseason, batting .593 in the month of May with five doubles, four home runs, 11 RBIs and a 1.222 slugging percentage. For his career, the Indianola Academy product finished with a .341 average and 22 homers, moving into fifth all-time in that category.

Joining Van Cleve as a first-team selection will be left fielder Hayden Leatherwood, who will also join the Rebels next season. The Collierville, Tenn., native batted .333 with 20 of his 24 hits resulting in extra bases and finished his Ranger career tied for fifth in home runs with 22. Leatherwood also saw his fielding percentage improve form .978 to 1.000 between his freshman and sophomore seasons.

Skinner had a breakout freshman season in which he hit .369 with 16 RBIs and 16 stolen bases. The Lake Cormorant product proved to be just as dangerous in the outfield, fielding .974 with 73 putouts in 78 total chances.

As one of the team's primary options on the mound all year long, Fowler finished his freshman campaign with a 6-2 overall record, 3.76 ERA and 88 strikeouts in 13 starts. In his Northwest debut, the Arlington, Tenn., native struck out 12 in an early-season victory at Copiah-Lincoln and later dished out nine strikeouts in a complete game victory at Hinds. Earlier this month, the 6-foot-5, 190-pound southpaw was taken in the 27th round of the 2019 MLB Draft by the New York Mets.

A three-time MACJC Pitcher of the Week selection, Stinnett tossed four complete games and compiled a team-low 2.74 ERA with 82 strikeouts in 13 starts. The Oxford native also concluded his freshman campaign with a 7-3 record and held opposing batters to a .181 average.

Carson Stinnett was equally impressive in his lone season for the Rangers, finishing with an unblemished 7-0 record and a 3.21 ERA. The Hinds transfer and Memphis signee finished with 52 strikeouts against 19 walks in nine starts, while holding opponents to a .244 batting average.

Developed as the team's primary reliever as conference play began, Peel maintained his ERA below a 1.93 for most of the regular season and delivered 28 strikeouts against 11 walks. The Houston, Miss. product tossed 24.2 total innings this season with four saves.

Northwest wrapped up the 2019 season with a 33-14 overall record, giving head coach Mark Carson his eighth season with 30-plus victories. The Rangers fell to LSU Eunice and Pearl River in the Region 23 Tournament to end the season.
