FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Already with one all-conference and two all-region honors to his name, Nova Southeastern second baseman Jancarlos Cintron has picked up accolade No. 4 this season after being selected to the ABCA/Rawlings All-Region First Team.
 
Picked as a first team selection by the D2CCA and NCBWA, Cintron adds the ABCA/Rawlings recognition following a senior season in which he recorded a slash line of .370/.472/.578 in 45 starts.
