Pembroke, N.C. – Junior left-handed starting pitcher Max Parker (Manlius, N.Y./Fayetteville-Manlius) has been named to the 2023 National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) All-East Region Second Team.
 
Parker compiled a 2.53 ERA and a 4-2 record in eight starts and 53.1 innings pitched during the regular season. In a non-conference East Region matchup against Saint Thomas Aquinas on February 24, Parker went 7.0 innings and allowed just two hits, one run and two walks with 11 strikeouts. During a seven-inning non-conference battle against Franklin Pierce at home on April 2, Parker tossed a two-hit complete game with just one walk and eight strikeouts as the 'Phins claimed a 3-0 win.
 
During his four starts against Northeast-10 Conference Southwest Division opponents, Parker established a league-best 1.55 earned run average with a 2-1 record and a 1.28 WHIP in 29.0 innings pitched. The junior lefty recorded 22 strikeouts during conference play and allowed just seven runs in total during league games.
 
Parker has tossed a team-high 66.1 innings in 2023 with 58 strikeouts and just 16 walks. Opposing batters are hitting .233 against Parker so far this season.
 
Parker's first NE10 start, and his first and only conference loss, came against the Southern Connecticut State University Owls on April 7. Parker went 6.0 innings during the seven-inning contest and held the Owls to just five hits, zero earned runs and two walks with four strikeouts. SCSU scored two unearned runs against Parker and came away with a 2-1 win.
 
Parker threw 8.0 shutout innings with zero walks and six strikeouts during a conference battle against The College of Saint Rose Golden Knights on April 15, which resulted in a 13-0 win for the 'Phins.
 
During Le Moyne's four-game series sweep at Pace, Parker earned a complete-game victory during game one of the series. Parker tossed all 9.0 innings against the Setters and held them to three runs as the Dolphins claimed a 7-3 win.

The Manlius native was named to the Northeast-10 All-Conference First Team following the regular season.
 
Parker has already made two postseason appearances for the 'Phins in 2023. He went 7.0 innings during the First Round of the NE10 Championship against Adelphi, and he completed 6.0 innings of work during Le Moyne's opening game of the NCAA Championship East Regional #2 on Thursday. Both games resulted in Le Moyne wins.
 
With Parker's selection to the 2023 All-Region Team, head coach Scott Cassidy '98 and the Dolphins have had an all-region representative in each of the last four full seasons.
 
Current Le Moyne assistant coach Michael Smith '21, M '22 earned a spot on the NCBWA All-East Region Second Team in 2022, along with right-handed pitcher Jake Marshall. Andrew Taft was named to the First Team in 2019, and four members of the 2018 Le Moyne squad earned all-region honors, headlined by current big leaguer Josiah Gray who was named East Region Pitcher of the Year, which preceded his selection to the All-America First Team. Gray was also named a First Team All-East Region selection following the 2017 campaign.
 
The third-seeded Dolphins will continue their pursuit of an East Region Championship on Friday night as they meet second-seeded Goldey-Beacom College for a 7:00 p.m. battle under the lights in the East Regional #2 winners' bracket.
