Collegiate Baseball All-Americans
TROY, Alabama – Troy outfielder Joey Denison was named to the 2018 Collegiate Baseball All-American Second Team, the newspaper announced Thursday.
Â
The Sun Belt Player of the Year led the team and the conference in batting average, doubles, RBI and several other batting categories this season. He set the school's single-season RBI record with 74 this season, which ranks third nationally.
Â
His 91 hits rank 10th in the country and are the fourth-most by any player in school history; while his .387 batting average puts him in the top 20 of all Division I players.
Â
Denison, a Troy-native, is the program's first All-American since Reid Long was selected to the freshman team in 2015 – the first upperclassman since 2013. He was named an all-conference first teamer last week and became the first player of the year since Adam Bryant in 2011.
Â
The senior will lead the third-seeded Trojans into the NCAA Athens Regional starting Friday against second-seeded Duke; first pitch is set for 1 p.m. (CT).
