The postseason awards continued to roll in for Riley Campbell and Nick Bebout.
The Wadsworth senior stars picked up the biggest accolades of their careers when the Ohio High School Baseball Coaches Association All-Ohio teams were released Tuesday, as Campbell was on the Division I second team and Bebout was honorable mention.
They became the first Grizzlies players to earn All-Ohio distinction since infielder Nick Goddard (D-I first team) in 2003.
“Honestly when you look at our team in general, they were both equally as important,” coach Greg Pickard said. “Two years in a row — really, three years in a row — they had incredible seasons. They were really consistent players. … They have meant so much to our program.”
A 5-foot-9, 170-pound shortstop, Campbell batted .405 (34-for-84) with 39 runs, 29 stolen bases and 16 RBIs. The Toledo recruit also committed only four errors for the 27-1 Grizzlies, who repeated as Suburban League champions and reached the Hudson District championship game.
Campbell finished his career as the school leader in stolen bases (73) and hit-by-pitches (22) while also ranking in the Medina County top 10 for stolen bases, runs (110), and hits (117).
The 6-3, 190-pound Bebout is the second winningest pitcher in county history with a 25-3 record. This spring, the Walsh signee was 9-0 with a 0.89 ERA, 0.62 WHIP and 16.67 strikeout-to-walk ratio while also leading the county in home runs (4) and adding 22 RBIs in only 55 at-bats.
The right-hander had a 36-inning streak without a walk, ranking fourth in unofficial Ohio history.
Hudson’s Max Schoenman (OF) and Elyria’s Marques Inman (1B) were D-I first team, while Olentangy Liberty catcher Cameron Comer was player of the year and Toledo St. Francis de Sales’ Tim Gerken was coach of the year.
Revere’s Sam Susterstic (OF) was a first-team choice in D-II.
