The NFCA has also chosen DeDreu as a finalist for the 2019 Schutt Sports/Division III National Pitcher and Player of the Year awards.

This season, DeDreu went 21-6 in the pitching circle with a 1.39 ERA and a record 189 strikeouts. At the plate, DeDreu set the school’s single season record for hits with 77, doubles with 26 and batting average at .490.
