Four Beavers Named Preseason All-Americans
December 17, 2018 | Baseball
CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State catcher Adley Rutschman has been projected to be the 2019 National Player of the Year by Collegiate Baseball as the publication released its preseason All-America teams for the upcoming season. Rutschman and pitcher Kevin Abel are on the preseason first team, pitcher Bryce Fehmel is on the second team and pitcher Jake Mulholland resides on the third team.
All four received All-American honors after the team's 2018 National Championship season. The four preseason recognitions also leads all teams nationally.
Rutschman, a junior in 2019, earned preseason honors after batting .408 with a school-record 102 hits and 83 runs batted in last season. He hit nine home runs, tallied 22 doubles and walked 53 times.
Abel, meanwhile, became the first pitcher to win four games at the College World Series, claiming the last victory thanks to a two-hit shutout of Arkansas in the championship finale. He ended the year 8-1 overall with a 2.88 earned run average in 23 games. He was the only freshman in the nation with more than 100 strikeouts, tallying 108.
Fehmel, a senior in 2019, went 10-1 in 2018, posting a 3.19 ERA in 20 games, all starts. He issued just 27 walks in 113 innings. His 26 career wins tie him for 10th all-time at OSU and his .839 winning percentage (26-5) ranks fourth.
Mulholland, a junior in 2019, saved 16 games last season, tying for the Pac-12 Conference lead. He finished the season 2-2 with a 2.20 ERA, striking out 42 to just 11 walks in 42 innings. Mulholland is at 22 career saves entering the season in a tie for third in a career at Oregon State.
