Stockton, Calif.- Louisville Slugger announced their Preseason All-Americans today, with Pacific's own Gio Brusa making the list as a Third Team All-American. Brusa was also named a Preseason All-American before last season, earning the honor from Collegiate Baseball, Perfect Game, and Baseball America. This year, Brusa was one of two honorees from the West Coast Conference, joining LMU's J.D. Busfield.
Brusa hit .291 with 4 home runs and 10 doubles last season for the Tigers before an injury ended his year after just 30 games. This summer, Brusa led the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox to a Cape Cod League championship and was named one of the top prospects in the league for the second straight summer.
