O'Neal, one of the top power-hitting catchers in the nation, finished the season hitting .286 with six doubles, 14 home runs and 53 RBIs. The senior from Waverly Hall, Georgia led the Southland in walks (52), ranking fourth in homers, along with eighth in both RBIs and OPS (1.030). He ranked second in the conference with five sacrifice flies.
Brome finished the season hitting .355 with 12 doubles, two triples, 12 home runs and 36 RBIs. The senior from Katy, Texas ranked third in the Southland in slugging percentage (.690) and OPS (1.165), fifth in on-base percentage (.475), seventh in batting average, ninth in home runs and 10th in HBPs (10).
