LYNCHBURG, Va. – Oregon State right-handed pitcher Bryce Fehmel has been named to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) Freshman All-America First Team, it was announced Monday.
Fehmel is the lone Pac-12 Conference player on the first or second teams, which include 32 student-athletes overall. It's his second Freshman All-America honor, following his inclusion by Louisville Slugger/Collegiate Baseball. He's also a Second-Team All-American by Louisville Slugger.
A native of Agoura Hills, Calif., Fehmel tied for the nation's lead in victories among freshmen with 10. He ended the season with a 2.31 earned run average in 70 innings of work, accumulating 51 strikeouts to 23 walks.
