Calhoun led the Ichabods with a .398 batting average and he finished the regular season in the top eight of every MIAA hitting category accept triples. While final MIAA stats have not been released, Calhoun finished his season with nine home runs, 74 hits, 47 runs scored and 43 RBI, all team highs. He also led the team and was second in the conference with 23 stolen bases.

Calhoun is Washburn’s first NCBWA all-region selection.

The Ichabods finished 27-24 and fourth in the MIAA at 22-18. They had their first winning season since 2006.
