Three Hoosiers named to All-American teams

Three Hoosiers were named to Collegiate Baseball’s Louisville Slugger All-American teams Thursday.

Sophomore catcher Kyle Schwarber was named a Second Team All-American. Junior third baseman Dustin DeMuth and sophomore pitcher Aaron Slegers were named Third Team All-Americans.

IU baseball has now had 11 All-Americans, five of which were coached by IU Coach Tracy Smith.

The other two from the Smith era were Alex Dickerson and Josh Phegley, who each won the award twice.

It is the first time IU has had three players named All-Americans in one year. In 2009, IU had two players named All-Americans, the only other time multiple players have garnered the honor.

Slegers is the second IU pitcher to receive the distinction, the other being Eric Arnett in 2009. Arnett and Slegers also each won Big Ten Pitcher of the Year.

DeMuth is the second Hoosier third baseman to get the nod, and Schwarber is the third catcher.
