Maybe ISU can bring him back during football or basketball season and give him the recognition he deserves, CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations, Ryan!!

Hope you're not in Spokane too long -- be great to see you in Bakersfield or Frisco by September!

Very impressive.

Ya know, on several occasions, Coach Heller said Straus was one of the best in the nation in patrolling the outfield...and he was RIGHT!

What a great honor for a Sycamore baseball player. Is he the first player from ISU to win a gold glove in college?

Does this Rawlings Gold Glove equate to 'All-American' status?

 

[bluepower]

You're right...gold glove and All-American are two different types of awards!

 

[4Q_iu]

You're right...gold glove and All-American are two different types of awards!

I didn't know if Rawlings does an All-American list vs. a Gold Glove list

What are Strausborger's odds of being named All-American by one of the various polls/voting associations?

 

[Callmedoc]

Grats to straus...he deserves every award he gets!

 

[WestT]

The ABCA is the one that votes on the Gold Glove, All-Region and All-American teams. Straus was nominated for All-Region and just missed out on a place on the second team. Coach Heller is also the Midwest Region representative for the ABCA.

Little Old Brazil

is the home to two on that list: John Howes and Chad McDonald. Two seasons back, fellow Brazilian and ISU grad Brady Shoemaker was named first team ACADEMIC All American.
