The American Baseball Coaches Associations (ABCA) announced the 2018 ABCA/Rawlings Division I All-America teams Saturday at the NCAA College World Series with three Gopher baseball players among the selections.

Minnesota, Oregon State and Stanford are the only teams to be represented  by three players on this year’s teams. Terrin Vavra received a First Team All-America selection, the fifth such honor for the shortstop. Starting pitcher Patrick Fredrickson landed on the Second Team, while relief pitcher Max Meyer earned a Third Team honor.

Terrin Vavra earned First Team All-America selections from the ABCA, Baseball America, D1Baseball.com, NCBWA, and a second team selection from Perfect Game.

Vavra ranked in the top 50 in the country with his 86 hits, and in the top 100 with a .455 on-base percentage and .614 slugging percentage. He ranked among the toughest players to strike out in the country at 10.1 plate appearances per punch out. He also led the Gophers with 10 home runs and four triples while drawing 30 walks compared to just 22 strikeouts.
