Â
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Colorado School of Mines baseball had a trio of Orediggers recognized by the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Wednesday just before the start of the 2026 RMAC Baseball Tournament.
Â
Evan Bilter and
Brody Duvall were named First-Team All-RMAC, and
Alex Dunagan won the RMAC Summit Award thanks to the highest cumulative grade-point average of any individual competing in the tournament. Bilter's first-team nod came at third base. Duvall earned his distinction as an outfielder. All-conference teams were voted on by the league's head coaches. They could not vote for their own players. Superlative winners included RMAC Player of the Year Kolby Felix from Colorado Mesa. Maverick teammate Jackson Esienhauer won RMAC Pitcher of the Year and RMAC Freshman Pitcher of the Year. Osaias Hinojosa from Adams State earned RMAC Freshman Player of the Year. Chris Hanks was voted RMAC Coach of the Year after leading Colorado Mesa to a 14th consecutive conference title.
Â
Bilter's all-conference award is the second of his career after he was Honorable Mention All-RMAC at designated hitter in 2024. During the 2026 regular season, the Pleasanton, Calif., native batted .410 with 49 runs on 77 hits including 17 doubles, one triple, and eight home runs with 61 RBI and 19 walks. He was also hit 20 times and stole two bases on three attempts. Bilter finished the regular season ranked #3 in the RMAC in total hits, #4 in RBI, #8 in batting average and doubles, and #9 in at-bats. His 77 hits thus far rank #9 in program history, while 61 runs scored are tied for #2 in program history. For his career at Mines, Bilter touts a .407 batting average with 117 runs on exactly 200 hits including 46 doubles, two triples, and 14 home runs with 135 RBI, 52 walks, and 14 stolen bases.
Â
Duvall earned First-Team All-RMAC in the outfield in his first season in the league. His inaugural RMAC campaign features a .466 batting average with 65 runs on 83 hits including 16 doubles, five triples, and two home runs with 28 RBI, 15 walks, and 16 stolen bases on 18 attempts. With those numbers, Duvall ranks #1 in the RMAC in batting average, #2 in total hits, #3 in runs scored, #4 in on-base percentage, #3 in total triples, and #4 in stolen bases. Nationally, the Spanish Fork, Utah, native is #1 in NCAA Division II in hits per game, #2 in batting average, #7 in runs per game, #17 in total hits, and #21 in triples. Duvall's single-season numbers have also put him in the program record book. He's tied for #3 in single-season hits at Mines, tied for #5 in single-season runs scored, and tied for #3 in single-season triples by any Oredigger ever. Duvall played his first two seasons of college baseball at College of Southern Idaho before coming to Mines in the fall of 2024 and redshirting last season.
Â
Dunagan's RMAC Summit Award is the first of his career. He boasts an unblemished GPA as a senior mechanical engineering student. Ties for the RMAC Summit Award are broken based on credit hours completed at the current institution. The honor for Dunagan adds to a season resume that includes winning Male Academic Athlete of the Year at the Blaster Awards. On the field, Dunagan batted .332 in the regular season with 44 runs on 62 hits including 22 doubles, two triples, and seven home runs with 57 RBI, 16 walks, and six stolen bases on eight attempts. He enters the RMAC Tournament ranked #1 in the RMAC and #5 in the nation in total doubles. He's also #1 in the RMAC and #3 in the nation in sacrifice flies. The Texan's 22 doubles are also tied for #4 in the Mines record book.
