Dissecting the AAC Baseball Awards: Zellner Makes First Team

For the second time in as many years, a Bearcat found his way onto the American Athletic Conference All-First Team for baseball.

We've been hyping up Andrew Zellner for a while and the American Athletic Conference has taken notice. Its probably more because of Zellner's on-field performance than some musings on a website, but who can say? (Its 100 percent because of Zellner's on-field performance).

The left-hander from Farmersville, Ohio was named to the AAC's All-Conference First Team on Monday, as the Bearcats prepare to begin play in the league's tournament later this afternoon. Zellner is the second UC player to make the first team in the American, following Ian Happ, he of the first-round draft selection, who was a first-teamer in 2014 and 2015.
