Dallas, Texas -- Creighton senior Parker Upton was selected as a Second Team Preseason All-American by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) on Thursday, Feb. 6th. The complete NCBWA All-American list is comprised of three teams, with 20 different conferences represented. Upton is the lone choice from the BIG EAST conference.
Last season Upton helped the Bluejay squad return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2012, dispatching the 2018 CWS Champion Oregon State on its home field. Creighton went on to push eventual 2019 CWS Runner-Up, Michigan, to a decisive regional in 2019.
