GREENWOOD, Ind. -- The 2026 Academic All-District® Baseball Team was officially revealed by the College Sports Communicators (CSC) on Tuesday. Two student-athletes— senior Aidan Tumbleson (Manalapan, N.J./Manalapan) and junior Ryan Costa (Bayport, N.Y./Bayport Blue-Point)—from Manhattanville University's baseball team earned their first appointment to this year's team.

Eligibility for the Academic All-District® Team was open to student-athletes with academic and athletic standing as sophomores or greater. Student-athletes must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.50 or higher and make at least 17 appearances or pitch 35 innings on the mound. Batters were eligible by meeting the same academic criteria while competing in 90 percent of their team's games or starting in 66 percent of the contests.

As a finance and business management major, Tumbleson was one of the Valiants' leading relief options out of the pen, with 17 total appearances. The Englishtown resident was one of the team's busiest arms, firing 35 innings over the season. He finished the year with a 5-1 record and a 4.63 ERA. He would go on to strike out 18 batters and achieve a season-high four in three innings against Mt. St. Vincent on April 20.

Costa made ten starts on the mound as a junior, tossing two complete games for the Valiants. With 47 innings pitched, he had the second-highest workload of the pitching corp this season. Costa achieved a season-high of seven innings against both St. Elizabeth on March 15 and Farmingdale on March 30. He ended the year with a 3-2 record and a 5.17 ERA. The sports studies major struck out 30 batters, the third-most on the team, and held a season-high five punchouts against St. Elizabeth on March 15, Mt. St. Vincent on April 20, and Merchant Marine on May 2.
