Riggleman finished the year statistically ranked 19th in Division II in strikeouts with 106 strikeouts this season. The standout pitcher for the Pioneers also finished with a 2.83 earned run average, four complete games, and one shutout. This season Riggleman broke the all-time wins record and strikeouts. Riggleman is also third all-time in innings pitched for the Pioneers and in the top five in saves for Glenville.

Riggleman joins Anthony Stehlin from Concord University as the only two Mountain East Conference players to be selected for the NCBWA teams. 

Riggleman finishes his career as a Pioneer with 219 strikeouts and 190.1 innings pitched. In all of Division II Riggleman ranks inside of the top 40 in strikeouts for active career leaders.

When head Coach James Mullens was asked about the historic accomplishment coach stated, "I am thrilled to see accolades come back for Adam as he continues to leave his mark on history. Adam is a premier pitcher and is absolutely electric on the mound. Behind the scenes, Adam has had quite a journey and is the embodiment of the blue-collar baseball mentality we believe in here at Glenville State. His journey has been met with many opportunities to take the easy path and quit, but he has dug in and made a mark for the Glenville State program, and for himself."
