Misla is an All-American for the second straight year - he was a D3baseball.com second team and ABCA third team honoree in 2024. Misla is the first Cortland player to earn first team All-America baseball honors since Matt Valin in 2019 (D3baseball.com), and he's Cortland's first two-time All-American since Matt Tone earned ABCA second team honors in 2008 and first team recognition in 2009.
Misla started 12 games this spring and finished 9-3 with a 2.03 ERA and 1.06 WHIP. He struck out a school single-season record 115 batters in 71 innings and allowed only 51 hits and 24 walks.
Misla struck out a school single-game record 19 batters in a win at Plattsburgh and 16 batters in a home victory over New Paltz, and he recorded 10 or more strikeouts in four other contests. He tossed six shutout innings, allowing five hits and no walks and fanning eight batters, in a win at Trinity (Texas), a current Division III World Series team, and he struck out 10 batters and allowed four hits and no walks in five and a third innings in a win over Wittenberg.
In his two seasons at Cortland, Misla was a combined 17-5 and in 148 innings allowed 101 hits and 51 walks with 229 strikeouts. He's tied for third at Cortland with Tone (2007-09) in career strikeouts, trailing only Matt Miller (242 from 2002-05) and Dan Revai (232 from 1975-79).
Cortland finished the season with a 31-13 record, including a 15-3 mark to win the SUNYAC regular-season title.
