JACKSON, Miss. – In an incredibly deep season for southern baseball programs in Region 6, Millsaps senior third baseman Chris Hart stood out and earned a spot on the D3baseball.com. The announcement was made on Tuesday following nominations made by Sports Information Directors from schools across NCAA Division III.

The 2022 season marks the tenth year that D3baseball.com has named All-Region teams, with more than 1,000 players nominated. The ballot was then made available to D3baseball.com staff and contributors from which three teams in each region were determined. Each position was recognized across First, Second and Third teams for each region.
For each of the ten regions, there is a regional player of the year (a batter), a pitcher of the year, a rookie of the year (must be a freshman) and a coach of the year.

Hart adds to his impressive postseason resume after being named to the 2021-22 CoSIDA Academic All-District® Baseball Team and the 2022 All-SAA Second Team.

A recent Millsaps graduate, Hart was elite at third base where he started all 45 games. The Brandon, Miss., product finished in the league's top 10 in runs scored (54), hits (62), doubles (13), triples (three), homers (seven), at bats (186) and hit by pitches (14). The senior also drew a team-high 28 walks to go with a .333 batting average.

The Northwest Rankin graduate posted a 3.988 GPA while earning a degree in Biochemistry and was named to the SAA Academic Honor Roll three times.
