LAS VEGAS (UNLVRebels.com) - Eight UNLV baseball players earned 2014 All-Mountain West honors as the league announced its all-conference teams on Wednesday. UNLV's eight honorees are the most in school history. The awards were voted on by the league's six head coaches.

Junior Erick Fedde was selected as the MW Pitcher of the Year. Fedde sported a 6-1 record in conference and had the lowest overall earned run average in the league with a 1.60. He also recorded 61 strikeouts in 56.1 innings of work and held opposing batters to a .218 average.

UNLV head coach Tim Chambers was selected as the MW Coach of the Year after the Rebels captured a share of the Mountain West regular season title for the first time since 2005. The Rebels finished 20-10 in conference and earned the No. 1 seed in the MW Championship. He is the third coach in school history to garner the award as Jim Schlossnagle won it in 2003 and Buddy Gouldsmith won it in 2005.

Fedde also earned All-Mountain West First Team honors and was joined by teammates John Richy and Patrick Armstrong. Richy led the league in wins with 10 and Armstrong hit .363 in conference play.

Junior Morgan Stotts, sophomore Justin Jones, junior T.J. White, senior Matt McCallister and junior Edgar Montes were also honored as they all were named to the All-MW Second Team.
