Tennessee Tech's Kevin Strohschein has somehow found a way to keep on hitting through an elbow injury that will require offseason surgery. Strohschein, normally an outfielder, suffered the injury in March while pitching in a game against Lipscomb. Strohschein hasn't pitched since and has been restricted to designated hitter duties for most of his junior season, yet he performed well enough at the plate to be named Ohio Valley Conference player of the year for the second time.
