Collegiate Baseball honors Ike Irish among Freshman All-Americans

The freshman slugger led Auburn baseball in several categories this season.

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.

Auburn pitcher gets the call to join the Los Angeles Angels

Daniel joins Keegan Thompson and Casey Mize as a member of Auburn’s 2017 starting rotation to get called up to the majors.

A key piece to Auburn’s stout pitching rotations in 2017 and 2018 is getting his chance to shine in the Major Leagues.

[autotag]Davis Daniel[/autotag], who was a starting pitcher for the Tigers from 2017-19, has been called up by the Los Angeles Angels and will be a part of the active roster for Saturday night’s game against the New York Mets in Anaheim, California.

Daniel, who is celebrating his 25th birthday on Saturday, says that he got the call from the manager of the Angels’ triple-A affiliate, Lou Marson, at 1 a.m. MDT, and was on a flight from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles at 8 a.m. MDT, according to Sam Blum of The Athletic.

In nine starts on the mound for the triple-A Salt Lake Bees, Daniel posted aย  3-1 record with a 3.64 ERA and 38 strikeouts in 47.0 innings. It is unclear at the time of this post if Daniel will join the Angels rotation, or will be used as a bullpen arm.

Daniel was very instrumental during a significant era of Auburn pitching. In 2017, he was used as the Sunday starter in a weekend rotation that featured current Cubs starter [autotag]Keegan Thompson[/autotag] and Tigers starter [autotag]Casey Mize[/autotag]. Then, in 2018, he returned to the rotation with Mize as they added [autotag]Tanner Burns[/autotag] to the mix, who was later drafted by the Cleveland Indians with the No. 36 overall selection in 2020.

Prior to being taken in the 7th round by the Angels in 2019, Daniel made 37 career appearances and 27 starts for Auburn, where he posted a 7-7 record and 5.37 ERA to go along with 135 strikeouts in 139.0 innings.

Auburn baseball notes: Tigers drop series to LSU, Thompson earns first MLB win

Auburn dropped yet another SEC series, this time to LSU, to fall to 6-18 in conference play while Keegan Thompson earned first MLB win.

Auburn dropped yet another series in baseball this past weekend as the Tigers lost to LSU lost the first two games, 8-3 and 9-6, before pulling out a 2-1 walkout victory on Saturday.

In the finale, Richard Fitts allowed one run on one hit and two walks while striking out seven over six frames. The duo of Carson Swilling and Carson Skipper got the job done out of the bullpen, combining for three shutout innings.

Brody Moore came through in the bottom of the ninth with a game-winning RBI single, scoring Ryan Bliss.

Auburn now stands at 20-23 including 6-18 in the SEC.

Some other newsworthy notes:

Keegan Thompson earns first MLB win

After making his first career start earlier in the week against the Los Angeles Dodgers, former Auburn star Keegan Thompson earned his first MLB victory, coming out of the bullpen and pitching three scoreless frames in the Chicago Cubs’ 3-2 victory over Pittsburgh.

Thompson has not allowed a run in 7 2/3 innings of work since making his Majors debut on May 2 against Cincinnati.

Tanner Burns solid in pro debut

Life as a professional pitcher couldn’t have gotten off to a better star for former Auburn ace Tanner Burns who hurled four shutout innings, allowing three hits while fanning six in his debut for the Lake County Captains, the Cleveland Indians’ High-A team.

Burns was selected by the Indians with the 36th overall pick in the 2020 MLB draft.
