Maryland baseball junior catcher Luke Shliger was given some major recognition after his breakout season last year, being named to D1Baseball.com’s Preseason All-American first team and also being recognized as the No. 1 catcher in its preseason player position rankings.

Shliger solidified himself as one of the most consistent bats in the Terps’ lineup during the team’s run to the Big Ten regular-season title and hosting an NCAA Regional in 2022, with a monster hitting split of .353/.495/.602. His .353 batting average led the team. He also contributed 12 home runs and 58 RBIs.
