CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Monroe Express Baseball's rookie sensation Robert Herrera added another achievement to his resume on Thursday afternoon as he earned a spot on the American Baseball Coaches Association/Rawlings NJCAA Division III Baseball All-America third team. The full announcement by the NJCAA can be seen here, while the ABCA/Rawlings release can be viewed at this link. Herrera becomes the fifth player in program history to earn ABCA/Rawlings NJCAA All-America team honors.

Herrera made a big impact in his rookie year as he led the Express all the way to the deciding game of the Region 15 Championship Round. He was named to the All-Region 15 first team, was selected to the Region 15 All-Tournament team, and was awarded NJCAA Division III National Player of the Week kudos during the 2025 campaign. He was the recipient of the Most Outstanding Player Award at the Express Awards Dinner back on May 12.

Herrera totaled 72 hits, 65 runs scored, 54 RBIs, 15 doubles, three home runs, and just as many triples. He added 31 stolen bases in 33 attempts and walked 34 times during the year.
