NC State third baseman Andrew Knizner earned a mention on the Louisville Slugger Freshmen All-American team, released Wednesday by the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper.
Knizner finished his freshman campaign as a third-team All-ACC selection, hitting .330 with 11 doubles, four homers, one triple, and 47 RBIs.
The ACC featured seven players among Louisville Slugger's Freshman All-Americans. Wake Forest's Will Craig was the only other ACC third baseman on the team, a competitor Knizner edged for his All-ACC mention. Knizner is one of five ACC freshman to make Louisville Slugger's team and an All-ACC team.
The summer, Knizner's improving his game with the Wareham Gatemen of the Cape Cod League alongside Wolfpack rising sophomores Ryan Williamson and Preston Palmeiro.
