Sophomore earns second Preseason All-American recognition
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – A week out from the start of the 2020 baseball season, sophomore catcher Hunter Goodman was listed to his second Preseason All-America team.
Goodman was named to the third team on the NCBWA's 20th annual All-America Teams list on Thursday afternoon. He was also named third-team Preseason All-America by Collegiate Baseball in December.
The Arlington, Tenn., native, who was named to The American's Preseason All-Conference Team, was voted the American Athletic Conference's Newcomer Position Player of the Year in 2019 and was named a five-time Freshman All-American at the end of his rookie campaign. Goodman 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).
In his freshman season, 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.
Over the summer, Goodman continued his torrid play in the prestigious Cape Cod Baseball League with the Hyannis Harbor Hawks. He played in 43 games and led the Harbor Hawks with 37 RBI, 10 doubles and eight home runs.
The Tigers are set to open the 2020 season with a home series against Xavier beginning Feb. 14 at FedExPark. Season tickets for the 2020 season are on sale for $65 at www.GoTigersGoTix.com.
