LONG BEACH, Calif. – Devereaux Harrison has been named a Second Team Freshman All-American selection by Baseball America. It marks his third All-America accolade for the 2021 season.
The freshman right-hander continues to add to a list of accolade that already includes ABCA Freshman First Team honors, NCBWA West All-Region Second Team honors, and the Big West Freshman Pitcher of the Year.
Harrison tossed 34.1 innings posting a 1.57 ERA and holding opponents to a .175 opponent average. He totaled 18 appearances, recording multiple strikeouts in 14 of them totaling 42 Ks while surrendering just 12 walks.
