Mountain Cat Dylan Heid Named 2021 PSAC West Pitcher of the Year

Lock Haven, PA


Pitt-Johnstown senior right-hander Dylan Heid, a five-time Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Western Division Pitcher of the week recipient, was selected by the league's coaches as the 2021 PSAC West Pitcher of the Year when the conference office released this year's baseball awards on Tuesday.
 
Heid, a native of Malvern, Pa. and a graduate of Great Valley High School, posted a 7-2 record with six complete games, four shutouts, and a 1.37 ERA in 59.1 innings in 2021.  He also led the Mountain Cats with 105 strikeouts to just 15 walks, while holding opponent hitters to a .126 batting average.  Heid allowed just nine earned runs in his 59.1 innings and surrendered just 25 hits.
 
Heid, also a 3-time Atlantic Region Pitcher of the Week selection and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) National Pitcher of the Week on March 11 after tossing a no-hitter and striking out 13 against West Liberty, leads the PSAC in complete games, ERA, Hits Allowed Per 9-Innings, Strikeouts, Strikeouts per 9-innings, and WHIP.
 
He ranks second in NCAA Division II in Hits Per 9-innings (3.79), WHIP (.67), third in complete games (6) and strikeouts per 9-innings (15.93), fourth in ERA (1.37), seventh in strikeouts (105), and 27th in strikeout-to-walk-ratio (7.00).
 
Heid earned one of the four PSAC Western Division major awards, while Seton Hill's Tommy Pellis was named the Athlete of the Year, Owen Sabol was the Rookie of the Year, and Griffin's Head Coach Marc Marizzaldi was the Coach of the Year.
 
In the PSAC Eastern Division, Millersville athletes earned all four of the major awards.  Bren Taylor was the Athlete of the Year, Jeff Taylor was the Pitcher of the Year, Conor Cook was the Rookie of the Year, and Jon Shehan was the Coach of the Year.
