Full Release
WEST CHESTER, Pa.- The Division II Conference Commissioners Association (D2CCA) released its Division II Baseball All-America teams and
Julian Costa (Mantua, N.J./Clearview) was named a Second Team All-American as the redshirt-senior left-hander continues his outstanding 2026 season.
This is the second All-America citation of 2026 for Costa as he was also named an NCBWA Honorable Mention All-American earlier this month.
The consensus Atlantic Region Pitcher of the Year after earning his third and final Regional Pitcher of the Year honor from the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) (who is set to publish its All-America squads later today), Costa is in the midst of a season for the ages as he enters Friday night with a record of 12-2 on the year and a 2.63 ERA along with a .241 batting average against with 74 strikeouts in 82 innings of work. Costa is 3-0 in the postseason already, including a win in the PSAC Quarterfinals over Shepherd, a victory over Bloomsburg in the NCAA Tournament at Serpico Stadium, and a win over Millersville in Super Regionals after carrying a no-hitter into the seventh inning at Cooper Park. The NCBWA Division II National Pitcher of the Week earlier this season, Costa also threw his second career no-hitter earlier this spring against Frostburg State, as he became the first and only Golden Ram to record two no-hitters in his career after becoming the first to record a no-no since 1947 last Spring in an early-season trip to Cary, North Carolina.
Costa is one of two PSAC student-athletes to be honored by the Conference Commissioners Association this week, as Brady McGuire of Seton Hill joined him on the Second Team.
