Following the best season for the program in nearly 20 years, the Hawai'i baseball team had three players earn second-team All-Big West honors while another four received honorable mention recognition the conference announced Thursday.
 
Shortstop Jordan Donahue and designated hitter/catcher Austin Machado led the Rainbow Warrior position player group earning second-team honors while Alex Giroux led the UH pitching staff on the second team.
 
Seniors Kyson Donahue and Jake Tsukada capped off their careers by earning honorable mention recognition. The only two Rainbow Warriors to start all 53 games – freshman Elijah Ickes and center fielder Matthew Miura – each also received honorable mention recognition.
