CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Virginia sophomore pitcher Danny Hultzen (Bethesda, Md.) has been named a Second-Team All-American by Baseball America, the publication announced Wednesday. It marks Hultzen’s second straight All-America selection by Baseball America – he was a third-team pick at utility last season.

Hultzen went 11-1 with an ACC-low 2.78 earned run average this season. In 106.2 innings, he allowed 75 hits and 24 walks while striking out 123. Opponents hit just .193 against him this year.

Hultzen became Virginia’s first ACC Pitcher of the Year and was a first-team All-ACC selection in 2010. He was consistently strong all season and pitched at least six innings in 14 of his 16 starts. He currently ranks 10th nationally in hits allowed per nine innings (6.33) and 11th in strikeouts and wins.

He also has been named a First-Team All-American by Collegiate Baseball this year and is a semifinalist for the Golden Spikes Award and Dick Howser Trophy.
