BASEBALL ■ Left-handed pitcher Micah Ashman was tabbed All-Pac-12. The rising junior from Sandy had nine saves to finish the regular season ranked second in the Pac-12 and 24th nationally. Ashman’s nine saves were the most by a Utah pitcher since 2016. He finished the year with a 3.63 ERA in 34.2 innings pitched, 38 strikeouts and just five walks over 23 relief appearances. • First baseman Jayden Kiernan became Utah’s first .400 hitter in a full season in the Pac-12 era. He finished the regular season 23rd in the country with a .402 average and was edged by just two points for the league batting title. Kiernan belted a team-leading 74 hits to rank top-five in the Pac-12. He contributed 11 doubles, five home runs and 32 RBI. • Outfielder TJ Clarkson and right-handed pitcher Zac McCleve were placed on the honorable mention team. Clarkson reset career-highs in every major offensive category including a .301 batting average, .628 slugging, .464 on-base percentage, 18 doubles, 14 home runs and 45 RBI. McCleve, from West Valley City, capped off a career that saw the submariner make a program-record 107 appearances.
