MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University sophomore designated hitter/right-handed pitcher Braden Zarbnisky has been named an All-American by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA), as he was selected to the third team on Wednesday.
Earning his first career All-America honor, Zarbnisky is the 17th All-American in program history. He is recognized as one of two utility players on the NCBWA Third Team.
The honor is the 11th NCBWA All-America honor in team history and 15th total All-America accolade in coach Randy Mazey’s four seasons. The Mountaineers have earned at least one All-America accolade in each of the last three years, as Kyle Davis and BJ Myers were recognized in 2015, while Ivan Gonzalez and Darius Hill were honored in 2016, all on numerous Freshman All-America teams.
