Arizona baseball: Bobby Dalbec named Louisville Slugger preseason All-American

Let the hype begin!

It's a little less than two months away from the beginning of the college baseball season, and the hype around Arizona's top player has begun.

Bobby Dalbec, who is projected as a first or second round pick in this year's MLB Draft, was named a Louisville Slugger 2nd-team preseason All-American.

The announcement lists Dalbec as just a third baseman, with Wake Forest's Will Craig getting 1st-team honors at the position. Craig hit 13 home runs and batted .382 in 2015 for the Demon Deacons.

But it is expected that Dalbec will play a crucial role on the 2016 pitching staff, just like he did in 2015.
