Jon Kibler, also a junior, was named to the third team as starting pitcher. He led the MSU pitching staff in wins, going 5-5 with a 4.34 earned run average.

Senior starting pitcher Craig Brookes was named MSU's Big Ten Sportsmanship Award honoree.

MSU finished the season with a 25-26 overall record and a 15-16 mark in Big Ten play.
