RALEIGH – Tyler McDonough of the NC State baseball team collected freshman All-America honors from Collegiate Baseball on Wednesday, becoming the third player this season to earn an award from the publication.
An All-ACC Second Team and ACC All-Freshman selection, he is the 16th player in program history to collect the honor.
A Liberty Township, Ohio, native, McDonough led the team and all freshmen in the Atlantic Coast Conference with 80 hits, including 25 multi-hit performances. He started 60 games in center field and compiled a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage.
McDonough turned in three four-hit outings in ACC play, highlighted by his 4-for-5 showing vs. Wake Forest on April 20 when he was a single shy of hitting for the cycle. He also went 4-for-5 on March 10 vs. Pittsburgh and March 15 vs. then-No. 1 Florida State.
Additionally, he finished third on the team with a .320 clip and 47 runs batted in while stealing a team-best 10 bases out of 12 attempts, as those numbers rank top seven among all freshmen in the ACC.
