Pitt-Johnstown senior right-hander Dylan Heid, the 2021 Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Western Division and Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) Atlantic Region Pitcher the Year, added another honor when he was selected as the Division II Conference Commissioners Association (DIICCA) Atlantic Region Pitcher of the Year on Wednesday.
 
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, a five-time PSAC West Pitcher of the Week choice, 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, led the PSAC in complete games, ERA, Hits Allowed Per 9-Innings, Strikeouts, Strikeouts per 9-innings, and WHIP.
 
Nationally, Heid 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 27^th in strikeout-to-walk-ratio (7.00).

West Virginia State led all programs with four honorees.  Only two of the 32 all-region players were repeat honorees.  Shepherd outfielder Jared Carr earned First-team recognition for the second time, and Concord shortstop Anthony Stehlin, a first-team selection in 2021, was previously a second-team selection in 2019.
