Shane Lewis Named to ABCA All-Region First Team

TROY, Ala. – Coming off one of the best offensive seasons in program history, Troy sophomore outfielder Shane Lewis has been named to the American Baseball Coaches Association All-Southeast Region First Team, the ABCA announced Tuesday.

Lewis, a Vicksburg, Miss., native, set the Troy single-season home run record as he hit 27 blasts during his first season with the Trojans. The 27 bombs broke a 24-year-old record held by Jorge Soto, who hit 26 home runs during the 1999 season.

Additionally, Lewis' 77 RBIs rank as the second-most in program history, behind only Joey Denison's 81 during Troy's 2018 NCAA Regional run. He also finished the season with 45 walks, the seventh most in a single season in program history.

The all-region honor adds to an impressive haul of awards and recognitions this season for Lewis, who was named to the Collegiate Baseball All-America team two weeks ago, in addition to being named the Sun Belt Player and Newcomer of the Year. He finished the regular season ranked among the top 10 in the Sun Belt in seven offensive categories, including leading the league in slugging, OPS, RBIs, runs scored, walks, home runs and total bases.

First Team All-Region selections are nominated for ABCA/Rawlings All-America honors. The ABCA/Rawlings NCAA Div. I All-America teams will be announced on Friday prior to the start of the 2023 College World Series in Omaha.
