WESTERVILLE, Ohio – On Monday morning, the Ohio Athletic Conference announced the 2025 All-Conference selections for baseball which featured four selections from Capital University. Those honorees included
Robby Harrison,
Ty Clifton,
Bryce Kyees, and
Charlie Colson.
Harrison was selected to the First Team as a catcher, while Clifton and Kyees were Second Team selections. Colson earned Honorable Mention status. The award for Harrison marks his second consecutive postseason honor as he was a Second Team selection in 2024. Clifton, Kyees and Colson are all first-time award recipients.
Harrison's First Team honor makes him the first All-OAC First Team selection from Capital baseball since Logan Bastin in 2016. Additionally, the four All-OAC selections from Capital baseball marks the most in a single season since six were recognized in 2007.
This season, Harrison finished second on the team in season-long batting average (.367) and ended with 40 hits, six doubles, three triples, four home runs, 27 RBIs and 14 walks. Of those totals, he ended with a .406 average, 26 hits, three doubles, three triples, one home run and 14 RBIs against conference opposition alone. Defensively, Harrison was one of the sharpest catchers in the league as he ended the year by throwing out 12 potential base stealers and with a .978 fielding percentage on 184 contacts.
As the designated hitter all season, Clifton finished the year third on the team with a .335 season-long batting average which came on 54 hits, 10 doubles, one triple, five home runs, 37 RBIs and 12 walks. Against conference opposition only, Clifton had 24 hits, six doubles, three home runs and 16 RBIs. Clifton's totals in at-bats, hits, total bases, and RBIs all cracked the single-season top-10 lists for Capital baseball history.
Kyees had a stellar debut season as the Comets' first baseman where he finished top of the team in batting average (.369) thanks to 48 hits, eight doubles, one triple, two home runs, 33 RBIs, and 29 walks. In conference play alone, Kyees had 22 hits, four doubles, one triple, 13 RBIs and 10 walks. Defensively, Kyees was sharp all season, ending with a .983 fielding percentage at first base where he contacted the ball 344 times, which included 326 putouts – the second most in a single season at Capital.
Colson also put forth a strong freshman year on the ballfield for the Comets as he ended fourth-best on the team in batting average (.303), thanks to 47 hits, nine doubles, four triples, one home run, 17 RBIs, and 25 walks. He also proved dangerous on the basepaths, stealing 22 bases on the year. His 22 stolen bases tie him for 10th most in a single-season at Capital. In the field, Colson maintained a sharp fielding percentage of .966 on 89 contacts.
