LAFAYETTE, La. – Louisiana baseball senior Dylan Moore was selected as the Top Male Postgraduate Award Winner as part of the 2018 Sun Belt Conference Postgraduate Award recipients, the league office announced on Wednesday.
 
As the Top Male Postgraduate Award Winner, Moore will receive a $6,500 scholarship sent to postgraduate school. The scholarships are awarded to selected student-athletes who have stated intentions to pursue a graduate degree following completion of their undergraduate requirements. Those honored have performed with distinction both in the classroom and in their respective sport.
 
"It’s always an honor to be selected by the conference for both your athletic and academic accomplishments," head coach Tony Robichaux said. "Dylan was selected at the top of a great group of student-athletes from our conference, and that says a lot about what kind of person he is. He worked tirelessly both on the field and in the classroom, and this award pays him back for his hard work and effort. This scholarship will certainly help him as he continues his academic mission. We wish him the best of luck in law school."
 
In four seasons with the Ragin’ Cajuns, Dylan Moore claimed both the Sun Belt and Louisiana career saves record with 38. Moore, a 2016 All-American selection, also holds the Ragin’ Cajuns single season saves record with 14. Moore was tabbed to the All-Sun Belt baseball teams in both 2015 and 2016 and finished his career with a 15-8 record and a 2.53 ERA in 167 innings pitched.
 
A native of Hughes Springs, Texas, Moore also excelled in the classroom becoming the first player in program history to be named to multiple Academic All-American teams being selected three years in a row to the CoSIDA Academic All-America squads including a first team nod in 2016. Moore notched a perfect 4.0 GPA while graduating summa cum laude this spring from Louisiana. Moore will attend Law School at the University of Texas starting in the fall.
