Collegiate Baseball Preseason All-American list
Â
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Memphis sophomore Hunter Goodman collected his first preseason nod as the utility player was named Third Team Preseason All-American by Collegiate Baseball, the publication announced Tuesday morning.
Â
Goodman, who was voted the American Athletic Conference's Newcomer Position Player of the Year in 2019, was named a five-time Freshman All-American at the end of his rookie campaign. The Arlington, Tenn., native was the first rookie in program history to earn Freshman All-American accolades from multiple outlets (Baseball America, D1Baseball, Collegiate Baseball, NCBWA and Perfect Game).
Â
Goodman also earned First Team All-Conference honors after pacing the Tigers' offense last spring. He led the team in batting average (.326), runs (51), hits (78), doubles (16), triples (2), home runs (13) and RBI (67). Goodman also swiped 11 bases in 12 attempts, while his 67 runs batted in are tied for second all-time in Memphis single-season history.
Â
Over the summer, Goodman continued his torrid play in the prestigious Cape Cod Baseball League with the Hyannis Harbor Hawks. Goodman played in 43 games and led the Harbor Hawks with 37 RBI, 10 doubles and eight home runs.
Â
Fellow conference members joining Goodman on the Collegiate Baseball Preseason All-American list are Alec Burleson (ECU) and Hudson Haskin (Tulane).
Â
The Tigers are set to open the 2020 season with a home series against Xavier beginning Feb. 14 at FedExPark. Â
