June 02, 2016 | Baseball
TUCSON, Ariz. – Oregon State freshman right-handed pitcher Bryce Fehmel has been named a Second-Team All-American by Louisville Slugger, it was announced Thursday by the publication Collegiate Baseball.
Fehmel is just the third freshman in Oregon State's history to be named an All-American, joining Michael Conforto in 2012 and Andrew Moore in 2013.
The right-hander earned the honor with good reason after having a spectacular first season in Corvallis. He led the Pac-12 Conference in regular season victories with 10, posted a 2.31 earned run average and held opponents to a .222 batting average. He appeared in 26 games, making six starts.
A native of Agoura Hills, Calif., Fehmel was even better against conference competition. He went 4-1 with a 1.42 ERA and two saves in 11 Pac-12 games, holding opponents to a .193 batting average. Fehmel closed out the season with an impressive stretch of 19 2/3 innings where he held opponents to 11 hits, one unearned run and four walks while he struck out 13 en route to two wins and a save.
Fehmel is one of eight Pac-12 players on the three Louisville Slugger All-America teams.
He is the 27th All-American in Oregon State's history, and the 18th under head coach Pat Casey. The Beavers have now had at least one All-America selection in six consecutive seasons. Eight players have been named one over that stretch.
