Three Tech Freshmen Named to All-America Team

For the Tech baseball program, 2020 was a highly anticipated year. The team was coming off a stellar 2019 campaign marked by veteran leadership, ultimately leading to six players departing for the major leagues. The excitement generated by the team’s success was boosted when the Jackets enjoyed a new wave of freshman talent. Unfortunately, the newcomers were given a very limited time to display their talents as the COVID-19 pandemic brought all spring sports to an abrupt halt. However, despite the shortened season, three freshmen were given the honor of being named to the Freshman All-America team: Luke Compton (1B), Stephen Reid (OF/DH), and Dalton Smith (LHP) earned the nod as three of the nation’s top first-year performers.
