DALLAS – Postseason honors continue to roll in for the Tennessee baseball team as three Vols garnered All-America honors from the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association on Wednesday afternoon.
A day after earning All-America status from Perfect Game, the trio of Liam Doyle, Andrew Fischer and Gavin Kilen was recognized by the NCBWA following outstanding junior seasons.
Doyle – who has already been named the Perfect Game National Pitcher of the Year, the NCBWA District 3 Pitcher of the Year, the SEC Pitcher of the Year and is a finalist for both the Golden Spikes Award and the Dick Howser Trophy – has put together one of the most dominant seasons on the mound in program history.
The hard-throwing lefthander was named the NCAA Knoxville Regional Most Outstanding Player after going 1-0 and recording a save in his two appearances against Miami (OH) and Wake Forest to help lead UT to its fifth consecutive super regional appearance.
Doyle pitched nine innings and allowed just one earned run on four hits while striking out 16 batters during the Knoxville regional. The Derry, New Hampshire, native, finished his junior campaign with a 10-4 record and 3.20 ERA in 19 appearances (17 starts) and currently leads the nation with a Tennessee program record 164 strikeouts.
Joining Doyle on the NCBWA All-America first team was first baseman Andrew Fischer. The junior slugger put together one of the most complete offensive seasons in program history, leading the Vols in OPS (1.257), runs (70), home runs (25), RBIs (65), total bases (165), slugging percentage (.760), on-base percentage (.497) and walks (63). Fischer’s 63 walks tied Chase Headley’s program record from 2005 while his 25 long balls led the SEC and are the second most in a single season in UT history.
The Manasquan, New Jersey, native, was the only player in the country to reach base in every game this season, getting on in all 65 contests for the Big Orange. Fischer’s marks in homers (third), walks (fourth), slugging percentage (12th) and total bases (16th) all rank in the top 20 nationally.
Rounding out the group was Kilen, who was tabbed a third-team All-American by the NCBWA. The versatile infielder had a career year for the Vols, leading the team with a .357 batting average and four triples while splitting time between second base and shortstop.
Kilen also ranked second on the team in OPS (1.112), homers (15), total bases (141) and slugging percentage (.671) despite missing 12 games in the middle of the season with a hamstring injury.
