The Patriot League announced its all-league teams on Wednesday and included amongst the first team were three Navy Midshipmen: senior Nate Nelms, senior Johnny Waters, and senior team captain Jason Hill. Nelms also won the Patriot League Player of the Year award for the second time and Hill took Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year honors. Coach John Officer was named Patriot League Coach of the Year. Officer's six league titles while at the Navy helm sets a new Patriot League record.
Overall, the Mids were 18-7 on the season and took the Patriot League Tourney title for the third straight year. During that time they have a perfect 20-0 mark against league opponents. The Mids begin NCAA play on May 8 in Charlottesville against top-seeded Virginia (29-0).

He's also added 18 putouts and 26 assists in the field while seeing time both on the mound and in the infield.
