Collegiate Baseball announced on Wednesday that [autotag]Ike Irish[/autotag] would be named a Freshman All-American.
Irish is the 20th player in program history to earn Freshman All-American honors and the first to do so since 2018 when four Tigers were selected. Those players included [autotag]Tanner Burns[/autotag], [autotag]Cody Greenhill[/autotag], [autotag]Edouard Julien[/autotag] and [autotag]Steven Williams[/autotag].
Irish had a monster campaign during his Freshman season.
The Hudsonville, Michigan native led the team in batting average (.361), hits (86), and doubles (24). Placed second in RBI (50) and total bases (130), as well as scoring the third-most runs on the team with 48.
The 24 doubles hit by Irish set a freshman record for the program and are the most in a single season by an Auburn player since 2005. He also had a top-10 batting average in the SEC.
