Righthander Luke Prihoda won Southland Conference pitcher of the year honors after ranking first in Division I in saves (17) and second in ERA (1.21) entering NCAA regional play. He was named MVP of the conference tournament, saving two games and winning a third as Sam Houston State earned its first NCAA postseason berth in 11 years. Prihoda also dominated last summer as the top pitching prospect in the Coastal Plain League, where he didn't allow a run and had a 54-2 K-BB ratio in 28 innings. Prihoda isn't a classic prospect because he has a soft body (6-foot-5, 230 pounds), an average fastball and a flat slider. But he throws nothing but strikes and competes.
