[QUOTE="Vernon, post: 132455192, member: 1034769"] [B]MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (June 29, 2023)[/B] [B]– [/B]For the seventh time, West Virginia second baseman JJ Wetherholt has been named a first-team All-American with the latest coming from D1Baseball. Wetherholt becomes the first Mountaineer to be a unanimous first-team All-American and joins Alek Manoah as the only WVU players to be All-Americans by all seven publications. Manoah made five first-teams and two second-teams in 2019. The Mars, Pennsylvania native is one of eight players in the country to earn unanimous status along with Dylan Crews and Paul Skenes of LSU, Rhett Lowder of Wake Foreset, Kyle Teel of Virginia, Andrew Walters of Miami, Caden Grice of Clemson, and Matt Shaw of Maryland.

He is one of just two players this season to have at least 15 home runs and 35 stolen bases and is also the first Division I player since 2002 to have 35 stolen bases and 40 extra-base hits.
