Gators pitcher Hunter Barco was named a preseason First Team All-American by Baseball America on Monday, while outfielders Jud Fabian and Sterlin Thompson made the publication’s third team.
These are the third preseason All-American nods for Barco and Fabian. Barco was previously named to Collegiate Baseball’s first team and Perfect Game’s second team, while Fabian picked up first-team honors from Collegiate Baseball and third-team recognition from Perfect Game.
This is Thompson’s first time receiving preseason All-American recognition.
Barco led the Gators with 10 wins in 2021. He posted a 4.01 ERA and 94 strikeouts in 83 innings.
