JACKSON - Just days after collecting all-conference and MACCC Player of the Year honors, Northwest sophomore catcher Ryan Lee has earned another postseason honor as an All-Region 23 selection.

Lee quickly blossomed into one of the conference's most powerful hitters at the plate, finishing his Northwest career with a .402 batting average, 12 doubles, 16 home runs, 52 runs batted in and a .902 slugging percentage, leading the Rangers in all the aforementioned categories. The Cleveland, Tenn. native leaves Northwest ranking fourth in single-season home runs, third in slugging percentage, tied for fourth in runs scored (58), sixth in walks (35) and tied for ninth in both RBIs (52) and total bases (119).

Additionally, Lee's skills as a catcher garnered him the Player of the Year honor, after fielding .975 with 245 putouts and six runners caught stealing. He is also the Rangers' only All-Region 23 selection.

Northwest concluded the 2022 season at 26-24 overall, marking the 27th straight 20-win season, dating back to 1995. It was also the 15th straight winning season for the Rangers and the 13th straight postseason appearance. The 2022 campaign also wrapped up the 17th year as head coach for Mark Carson, moving his all-time record to 479-315-2 (.603) and his conference record to 253-134 (.654).
