He tied for the tournament lead in slugging percentage (1.000), tied for sixth in runs scored per game (1.33), and was one of three players to record a triple at the tournament, along with teammate Austin Atwell. His 3.67 total bases per game were the fourth most. Lebron was one of four outfielders selected to the All-World Series Team.

Ashton went 6-for-15 (.400) at the plate in four games, recording four total RBIs. He hit safely in all four contests for the Blue Raiders including a 3-for-4 performance with three RBIs in Lindsey Wilson's 7-1 win over The Master's (CA).

Lindsey Wilson is just one of four institutions to have multiple selections on the All-World Series Team, along with national champion Lewis-Clark State (Idaho), national runner-up Faulkner (AL), and Tennessee Wesleyan.

Lewis-Clark's Jacob Zanon and Gunner Buhner were named the World Series Most Valuable Player and Gold Glove Award Winner, respectively, while Tennessee Wesleyan's Wardy Polanco earned the Charles Berry Hustle Award.

Lindsey Wilson finished the 2016 season with a 44-25 record and recorded a top-six finish at the World Series, going 2-2 at the 10-team tournament.
