Smithville High School varsity baseball had several players named over the weekend to the 22-4A All-District team to cap off the 2023 season for the Tigers.

The highest honor for the Tigers went to Smithville sophomore Jaxson Frazier, who was named the 22-4A District Newcomer of the Year.

Selected as first-team all-district picks was the senior tandem of catcher Tyson Hancock and utility player Cameron Dawson.

Making second-team all-district were junior outfielder Jackson Hancock, junior infielder Wyatt Gigout, and sophomore outfielder Payton Lynch.

Honorable mention all-district award winners were senior infielder Matthew Maldonado, senior infielder Cole Barina, junior utility player Kyle Pietsch, and sophomore pitcher Grayson Mullen.
