Khoury is a second-time All-Region selection from D3Baseball.com. Earlier this year, he became the fifth player in school history to win University Athletic Association Player of the Year honors in baseball and the first since 2003. After becoming Brandeis's first four-time All-UAA baseball player in 2021, he becomes the first Judge to earn five All-Association honors in a team sport. Khoury was a second team selection as an infielder as a first-year in 2018 and a first-team infielder in 2019. In 2020 and 2021, with COVID-limited seasons, he was an All-UAA outfielder, but there were no first- and second-team distinctions. He returns to the infield for his fifth All-Association honor.
Khoury played games at first base, second base and right field this season, turning in one of the great seasons and careers at the plate for the Brandeis baseball team. He led the UAA in batting average (.401), home runs (11) and runs scored and tied for second in RBI (44). His 11 homers this year mark just the fourth season in program history to reach double digits, ranking him 34th nationally in Division III in homers per game. He is also ranked 33rd nationally in runs per game. Khoury also led the conference in slugging percentage (.708) and on-base percentage (.497). In March, Khoury was named the National Division III Hitter of the Week, when he had 13 hits in 17 at bats, including three doubles and three home runs, scoring 13 runs and driving in 13. Khoury will graduate ranked second on the Judges' career list in slugging percentage (.632), home runs (29) and runs scored (162), third in on-base percentage (.469), and fourth in RBI (128) while also reaching the career top 10 in four other offensive categories.
Frey, a five-year starter in center field, lands on the D3Baseball.com All-Region team for the first time. He led the UAA with 48 RBI and 15 doubles this season, ranking 20th and 33rd in Division III in RBI-per-game and doubles-per-game, respectively. He was second to Khoury in the UAA in batting average (.383) and slugging percentage (.699), while also finishing third in triples (3) and fourth in home runs (7). Frey's 48 RBI were the fourth-highest single-season total in Brandeis history and gave him 122 for his career, ranking sixth all-time. He also finishes his career as Brandeis's all-time leader in stolen base percentage, going 32-for-34 in his career (14-for-15 this season), while finishing tied for fifth with 42 doubles. Overall, Frey was a career .323 hitter with a .393 on-base percentage and a .534 slugging percentage, while posting a .981 fielding percentage in centerfield, making just six errors in 323 total chances, including just one in 103 chances this year.
