Jonathan Ramon has enjoyed a career season with the University of Evansville baseball team, and the plaudits have started to roll in for the senior as he was named to the Academic All-District 5 team, as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America.
 
Ramon, a sport communications major, owns a 3.42 grade-point-average, but his accomplishments on the diamond have been just as impressive. The Jackson Heights, N.Y., native has hit 10 home runs so far this season, which is the single best total for an Aces player since 2010, which was the last year under the old NCAA bat standards. He enters this weekend's series at league-leading Dallas Baptist with a .314 batting average and a team-best .614 slugging percentage.
 
Ramon as well as Missouri State's Alex Jefferson and Bradley's Ian Kristan are the only baseball players from the Missouri Valley Conference to earn a spot on an all-district squad.
 
All district honorees will now be eligible for selection to the CoSIDA Academic All-America teams, which will be announced later this month.
