WACO, Texas -- Baylor baseball coach Steve Rodriguez was named the Big 12 Coach of the Year on Tuesday, and he wasn't the only Bear to grab individual honors from the conference.

Junior right-handed pitcher Montanta Parsons was named the Big 12 Co-Newcomer of the Year with Oklahoma infielder Brylie Ware. Senior infielder Aaron Dodson and junior RHP Troy Montemayor were both named first team, with Montemayor repeating as a 2016 selection.
