CROOKSTON, Minn. - The University of Minnesota Crookston baseball program had a pair of student-athletes named to the All-NSIC teams as released Tuesday, May 6 by the conference office. Josh Dykhoff (Jr., RHP/DH, Wadena, Minn.) was named to the All-NSIC First Team, while Dylan Debilzen (Fr., OF, Parkers Prairie, Minn.) was selected to the All-NSIC Second Team and the All-NSIC Defensive Team.

The Golden Eagles have had 28 players receive 41 All-NSIC accolades. In addition, 22 of the honorees have come in the last 11 seasons during the Steve Gust era (since 2015). 

Josh Dykhoff

Dykhoff was selected as a pitcher/utility for his prowess on the mound, and as a designated hitter/first baseman. Dykhoff is hitting .333, with 43 runs scored, 13 doubles, 13 home runs, and 55 RBI. Dykhoff has a team-high 1.059 OPS, and a .627 slugging percentage. On the mound, Dykhoff has been one of the national leaders in strikeout/walk ratio. He has 79 strikeouts, to just six walks. He has a 6-5 mark and a 3.27 ERA in 77 innings, with five complete games, and two shutouts. Dykhoff was NSIC Freshman of the Year in 2023, and an All-NSIC Second Team selection in 2023, and 2024. He joins Jake Hjelle as the only three-time members of the All-NSIC First or Second Teams. 

Dylan Debilzen
Debilzen had an outstanding debut season for the Golden Eagles. He hit a team-high .369, with 47 runs scored, 13 doubles, three triples, one home run, and 28 RBI. He has a .916 OPS, with a .436 on-base percentage. Debilzen also has a team-high 14 stolen bases. He is the first freshman to earn All-NSIC recognition since Josh Dykhoff in 2023. Defensively, Debilzen was one of the top center fielders in the NSIC, corralling almost every ball hit in his radius. Debilzen notched a .992 fielding percentage, with 119 putouts, and one outfield assist. 

The Golden Eagles are set for the NSIC Tournament, commencing Wednesday, May 7 in Sioux Falls, S.D.
