2014 Louisville Slugger All-Americans
TROY, Ala. - Troy pitcher Marc Skinner was named to the 2014 Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American team, selected by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper, on Wednesday.

His 31 appearances were the sixth most in a season by a Troy pitcher. Skinner becomes the first Troy freshman to be named All-American since Wade Miller in 2001 and the 37th Trojan All-American in program history.
