Texas Lutheran University

Sean Kistler, was a two-time All-American and one of the top closers in all of NCAA Division III in his last two seasons for the Bulldogs. Kistler set the TLU and ASC records for career saves (22) and is still the current record-holder for TLU for career (22) and single-season saves (14) while still holding the ASC record for career saves.

Kistler dominated on the mound - not allowing a run (earned or unearned) in 2013 and did not allow a run in the final 39 innings of his career with a scoreless inning streak that stretched from April 6, 2012 to the final game of his career, May 16, 2013 – in which he pitched two scoreless innings against No. 8 California Lutheran in the NCAA West Regional Tournament. Kistler pitched 29-1/3 innings in 2013 with an ERA of 0.00, recording 14 saves with 33 strikeouts and only 14 hits allowed in an ASC leading 21 appearances. Kistler was an integral part of a 2013 pitching staff that led the ASC in ERA (3.05) and in strikeouts (317) and a 2013 TLU squad that made a run to the 2013 NCAA Division-III West Regional Tournament. His 2013 performance saw him finish in the top three in the 2012-13 American Southwest Conference Male Athlete of the Year voting that season.

Kistler was named ABCA All-West Region First Team, the ABCA All-America Third Team, and the D3baseball.com All-West Region Second Team honoree while also earning All-America honors for his 2012 and 2013 seasons respectively. Kistler was also a three-time All-ASC Academic All-Conference selection.
