MONTEVALLO, Ala. --- Tusculum College pitcher Placido Torres has been named to the 2015 Daktronics NCAA Division II Baseball All-Southeast Region second team.

The teams are voted on by the members of D2SIDA, the NCAA Division II Sports Information Directors Association.

Torres, a 5-11, 160-pound junior from North Brunswick, New Jersey, emerged as the ace of TC's weekend rotation. The North Brunswick Township High School graduate finished with a 9-3 record with a 2.43 ERA which is the second-lowest in the South Atlantic Conference. He posted a perfect 4-0 record in his last four appearances, including a win in TC's SAC Tournament opener against Lincoln Memorial University. His ERA is the seventh lowest in school history, while his nine victories are tied for seventh in the TC record book.

The 2015 All-SAC first team starting pitcher established a program single-season record 110 strikeouts, which are third in the league and fifth-most in the nation. Of his nine victories, two came against No. 11 Catawba and No. 13 Armstrong. He has made 17 appearances on the hill, including 13 starts where he has recorded 85 1/3 innings of work with 25 walks against his 110 strikeouts (4.40 strikeout/walk ratio). He pitched a two-hit shutout against Anderson and combined on a 4-0 shutout in the conference opener against Mars Hill.

Torres earns his second All-Region honor this year. He was tabbed to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Associations All-Southeast Region second team earlier this week.

The D2SIDA All-America teams in football, men's soccer, women's soccer, women's volleyball, men's basketball, women's basketball, baseball and softball are sponsored by Daktronics, Inc., an acknowledged world leader in scoring, timing and programmable display systems for virtually every sport at every level of competition.
