CLEARWATER, Fla. – Memphis senior outfielder Chris Carrier has been named to the American Athletic Conference first team, the league office announced Monday. Carrier becomes the fourth Tigers baseball player to earn AAC first-team recognition and the first since Nolan Blackwood and Tucker Tubbs in 2015.
"This is a very deserving award for Chris. He has had a phenomenal second half of the season and put the team on his back in various games," Memphis head coach Daron Schoenrock said. "He has been a mainstay in the lineup for three years and everything has come together for him to have this wonderful senior season. We are very proud of Chris."
Carrier batted .318 in 53 games played during the regular season with 14 doubles, 14 home runs, 44 RBI and 39 runs scored. He finished the season on a career-best 18-game hitting streak.
In conference play Carrier batted .371 with seven doubles and nine homers. He drove in 29 runs and scored 17. He led the American in RBI and home runs during league play. He finished second in on base percentage and first in slugging.
During his current 18-game hitting streak he is batting .394 with five doubles, eight home runs and 22 runs batted in.
Memphis (29-27, 8-16 AAC) finished seventh in the American Athletic Conference and will meet the league Co-Champion No. 2 seed Houston in the first round of The American Championship Tuesday at 8 a.m. (CT) at Spectrum Field.
