OKLAHOMA CITY – Cross Factor of Oklahoma City University garnered Sooner Athletic Conference baseball player of the year.
Oklahoma City raked in the SAC's pitcher of the year (Eli Davis) and coach of the year (Denney Crabaugh).
Factor has boasted of being one of the NAIA's premier all-around performers of 2022. Factor, a senior center fielder from Yukon, Okla., stands atop the NAIA in batting average (.528), total bases (200) and slugging percentage (1.136) entering the SAC Tournament title game. Factor ranks among the national leaders in home runs (25), RBIs (79), hits (93), runs scored (79), doubles (26), triples (three) and on-base percentage (.597).
Factor has crushed two or more homers in a game four times, belting a season-high three round-trippers against Bacone on April 1 at Jim Wade Stadium. He knocked in a season-high seven runs on March 19 against Science & Arts in Chickasha, Okla., and had a season-high five hits as part of a 5-for-6 day at Panhandle State on April 30 in Goodwell, Okla. He has been the centerpiece of an OCU offense that tops the NAIA in doubles and slugging percentage. Factor took four SAC player of the week honors this season.
Davis has turned in a 10-0 record, 1.07 earned run average and 91 strikeouts in 67.1 innings pitched. Davis, a junior left-hander from Shawnee, Okla., rates second in the NAIA in ERA on the year. Davis has reached double figures in strikeouts three times with a season-best 13 against MidAmerica Nazarene (Kan.) on Feb. 18 in Oklahoma City. He became SAC pitcher of the week for April 25-May 1.
Crabaugh tops current coaches and ranks third all-time in wins in the NAIA. Crabaugh, a five-time SAC coach of the year, has guided OCU to a 1,599-491-2 record with 13 SAC Tournament titles in his 34th year. The Stars reeled off winning streaks of 18 and 16 games while reaching No. 4 in the national rankings in 2022. Oklahoma City grabbed its 12th SAC regular-season championship and first since 2018 under Crabaugh this year. Entering this year, OCU had accumulated 1,486 wins for the most in college baseball since 1991.
