RALEIGH, N.C. – NC State third baseman Alec Makarewicz was named a 2024 ABCA/Rawlings Second Team All-American, as announced by the American Baseball Coaches Association on Friday morning.
Makarewicz has now earned ABCA/Rawlings All-Atlantic Region First Team honors, NCBWA Third Team All-America accolades and ABCA/Rawlings Second Team All-America honors in one week. This week he and teammate Jacob Cozart became NC State baseball's 46th and 47th student-athletes, respectively, to be tabbed an All-American.
Makarewicz, who has already been named Second Team All-ACC and was the NCAA Raleigh Regional's Most Outstanding Player, adds yet another personal accolade to a sensational season for the Wolfpack. The third baseman leads NC State with a .380 batting average, 80 RBI, 22 homers, 95 hits and a .744 slugging percentage.
The Longwood, Florida native leads NC State with a .414 batting average so far in the NCAA Tournament, pacing the Pack with 12 hits, five doubles and 26 total bases. Makarewicz batted .400 (6-for-15) with two homers and four RBI to help lead NC State back to Omaha for the fourth time in program history and the third time since 2013.
Makarewicz's 22 homers now rank tied for sixth in NC State single-season history. His 80 RBI rank tied for second in Wolfpack single-season history, needing just seven more to tie Turtle Zaun for the program record. The Wolfpack third baseman is also tied with Tony Ellison for the single-season program record for total bases (186), needing just one more base hit to set the new record.
UP NEXT
NC State will face Kentucky in its opening round game at the 2024 NCAA Men's College World Series. NC State and Kentucky will face off on Saturday at Omaha's Charles Schwab Field at 2 p.m. ET. Saturday's game will be televised on ESPN.
