TAYLOR HENRY OF CENTENARY COLLEGE was named SCAC Baseball Pitcher of the Year for his performance during the 2015 season.

Henry, a senior left-hander from Bossier City, La., is in the midst of one of the more dominant seasons in SCAC history. He currently leads the league in both appearances (22) and saves (9) as well as strikeouts (78) and strikeouts per game (13.59). His strikeouts per nine innings total is currently the second-highest in an SCAC single-season – only trailing the 14.50 total that future MLB draft pick Daniel Sarisky of Oglethorpe University posted in 2009. Opposing hitters are managing just a .180 batting average against him (fourth in the SCAC) and his ERA sits at 1.39 (second in the SCAC and the fourth-lowest for a single-season in league history). Henry posted a 4-1 mark with nine saves in his 22 appearances, leaving him just one save from tying the league's single-season record in that category.

Henry, who received five votes to secure SCAC Pitcher-of-the-Year honors, is the first pitcher used almost exclusively in relief (less than five starts) to win the league's highest award for hurlers. Senior right-hander Aaron Aleman of Texas Lutheran received the remaining two first-place votes.
