The Knoxville Baseball team dominated the competition this summer in the South Central Conference, and the 2015 All-Conference team reflected that with five Panthers on the first team. Kevin Woodhouse was named to the first team at second base making him just the second player in program history to be chosen first team all-conference three times in his career. Tony Salato was selected as the first team catcher, he was also first team all-conference last season in the Little Hawkeye. Jake Kendall was also named first team all-conference in back to back seasons at first base. The other two Knoxville first team selections were outfielder Jared McClung and Nolan Wallace as a utility player for his work both on the mound and in centerfield. Knoxville also landed two players as honorable mention selections. They were senior outfielder Austin Little and sophomore shortstop Blake McClung.
