Elliott named to the Freshman All-American team

Pitcher Jensen Elliott was named to the 2016 Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American team.

Elliott, a Coppell, Texas, native, has been in the Cowboys’ weekend starting rotation all season.

Elliott recorded a 9-2 record, which leads OSU, and a 3.27 ERA, fifth in the Big 12, along with leading the team with five Big 12 victories.

Recently, Elliott, a right-hander, tied his career-high of eight strikeouts in six innings to beat Clemson and advance OSU to its second Super Regional in three years.

Elliott became the first OSU freshman since Matt Smith in 1998 to throw a complete game when he started the series finale against West Virginia and is OSU’s first Freshman All-American since Tom Belza in 2008.
