HUNTSVILLE | The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association announced their 2023 All-South Region team on Thursday, and The University of Alabama in Huntsville was represented by Landon Ezzell and Will Hotalen as First Team All-South Region honorees and Garrett Bodine as a Second Team All-South Region performer.
 
Ezzell – a native of Russellville, Alabama – was the Chargers' leading hitter this season in a number of categories, including batting average (.412), OPS (1.092), runs scored (51), hits (80), doubles (14), and RBI (46). He played at both third base and in the outfield to earn First Team All-South as a utility player.

The senior was First Team All-GSC and held a hitting streak of 19 games during the season and struck out fewer than ten times this season. This is Ezzell's second appearance on the NCBWA's All-South team.

The Attala, Alabama, native Hotalen was named to the First Team All-South Region team after posting a stellar junior campaign, marking a 5-2 record on the mound with nine saves. He held the Gulf South Conference's lowest ERA at 1.76 and led the league in saves.

Hotalen's nine saves ties for second all-time, while his 1.76 ERA is the second-lowest ever in UAH history. He was also named First Team All-GSC relief pitcher.

Bodine makes his third consecutive appearance on the NCBWA All-South Region team as he earned First Team honors in 2022 and Second Team in 2021. 
 
A native of Harvest, Alabama, Bodine also was a First Team All-GSC honoree in the 2023 campaign in the outfield. The senior posted a batting average of .333 with 48 runs scored, stole 14 bases, knocked seven doubles, and five home runs. 

UAH finished the season with the program's 21st GSC tournament appearance, as the Chargers went 29-20 overall and 20-10 in league play.
