The top RPI league has announced its 2017 All-Big 12 baseball awards, highlighted by Big 12 Co-Players of the Year Evan Skoug (TCU) and Hunter Hargrove (Texas Tech). In his second season in Waco, Baylor's Steve Rodriguez is tabbed the Coach of the Year.

Texas Tech collects two more honors as Steven Gingery is named Pitcher of the Year and Josh Jung is the Freshman of the Year. Baylor's Montana Parsons and Oklahoma's Brylie Ware are awarded Co-Newcomer of the Year honors.

The team and awards are voted on by the league's head coaches, who are not allowed to vote for their own players.

TCU's Evan Skoug, the Co-Big 12 Player of the Year, leads the Big 12 with 16 home runs and ranks third in the league with 54 RBIs. His .370 average in conference play ranks fourth in the league, while his 10 home runs and 28 RBIs led all hitters to help the Horned Frogs win a share of the league title.

The Co-Player of the Year, Texas Tech's Hunter Hargrove, leads the league in doubles this season (22) and is hitting .347 on the year, good for top five in the Big 12. He currently ranks second in hits with 75 to help Texas Tech capture its second-straight conference title.

The league's Pitcher of the Year, Texas Tech's Steven Gingery, leads the conference with an 8-1 record and 1.82 ERA. Gingery has recorded the most strikeouts in a season by a Red Raider since Chad Bettis in 2010.

Baylor's Montana Parsons, the Co-Newcomer of the Year, had 13 starts and posted a 2.68 ERA with a 5-2 record. He ranks fourth in the Big 12 in ERA and innings pitched and tied for 11th in wins.

The Co-Newcomer of the Year, Oklahoma's Brylie Ware, earns OU's first major award winner since Sheldon Neuse (2014). He is the third OU Newcomer of the Year after hitting .317 and slugging .460 in his first season in Norman.

Texas Tech's Josh Jung led the team in runs with 53 to earn Freshman of the Year, which led the league. He hit .313 overall and .351 in conference while starting every game in his first year in Lubbock.

Steve Rodriguez earned the Big 12 Coach of the Year honor in his second season with Baylor. Rodriguez has guided Baylor to 34 wins for the first time since 2012, 12 conference wins for the first time since 2013 and its highest finish (fifth) in league play since 2013. He also led the Bears to a program-record-tying 15-2 start to the season and had the team ranked No. 10 in the country.

TCU and Texas Tech pace league teams with four All-Big 12 First Team honorees while Baylor, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas also place multiple members on the first team.

The Horned Frogs tallied a total of eight All-Big 12 selections between the first and second teams, with Baylor and Texas Tech totalling five each and Oklahoma with four. Two of the 18 first team selections were unanimous choices with 17 of the members earning their first All-Big 12 First Team distinction.

On the All-Freshman Team, Texas Tech led the way with four honorees, including Jung and Grant Little's unanimous nods. Baylor's Shea Langeliers and TCU's Nick Lodolo, both All-Big 12 Second Team honoree, were also unanimous choices. The All-Big 12 Honorable Mention includes 34 players.
