The "NSIC Outstanding Senior of the Year Award" is presented to a NSIC Baseball student-athlete who participates at their institution for four years and is academically superior while making a positive contribution to their team and the University. The NSIC Outstanding Senior of the Year award was initiated in 2020-21 to honor an outstanding senior that exemplifies the attributes of the model NSIC student-athlete.

"Seth is a leader on our team and within our campus community. He is not only a great pitcher but brings the baseball and athletic programs here at Augustana a voice. This is evident as he has been voted by his peers as Augustana athletics Influencer of the Year two consecutive years. He is one of the more competitive guys I have coached and we know when we give him the ball on the mound he is going to give us a really good chance to win," said Head Coach Tim Huber.
