Lyco’s Halbert, Llorente earn All-Region

Junior right-hander Alex Halbert and senior first baseman/pitcher AJ Llorente, a Montoursville graduate, were named second-team All-Region V, as announced by D3baseball.com.

This is the second season in a row that Lycoming landed two players on the D3baseball.com All-Region squad, as Llorente (second team) and outfielder Danny DeLucas (first team) each were honored in 2025.

They were the first two Warrior baseball players to earn all-region accolades, with Llorente becoming the first two-time all-region pick in program history this season.

Halbert adds the All-Region selection at starting pitcher to a crowded trophy case that includes Landmark Conference Pitcher of the Year, First Team All-Conference honors, and Landmark Pitcher of the Week honors on February 16 and March 2. The right-hander went 5-0 with a conference-leading 2.18 ERA over 41 1/3 innings. He began his campaign with 14.0 straight scoreless innings and finished it with three consecutive victories, including a victory over conference champion Scranton in his final outing of the season.

For the second year in a row, Llorente was tabbed at the utility spot on the all-region second team on the back of strong work both on the mound and at the plate. The senior earned first-team All-Landmark accolades at first base and second team honors on the mound after slashing .375/.451/.442 in 33 games, while adding 45 hits, 24 runs, six doubles and 26 RBI. On the slab, he went 5-1 with a 3.83 ERA, striking out 39 batters against just 12 walks over 47 innings, including a seven-inning, two-hit shutout over Catholic.

He earned Landmark Conference Athlete of the Week honors on February 16 and a Pitcher of the Week nod on March 23. He earned all-conference honors in both of his seasons at Lycoming.

The Warriors finished the 2026 season 18-21 and 11-13 in the Landmark under fourth-year coach Rick Oliveri, while placing a school record seven players on the All-Landmark Conference team.
