After a phenomenal sophomore season, sophomore outfielder [autotag]Dylan Crews[/autotag] was named SEC Co-Player of the Year by the coaches, joining Auburn’s Sonny DiChiara. Crews became the first LSU player to win the award since [autotag]Raph Rhymes[/autotag] in 2012.
He also took home First-Team All-SEC and SEC All-Defensive Team honors after a season in which he led the league in home runs and runs scored and finished in the top five in nearly every offensive statistic. But he’s not the only Tiger to receive recognition from the coaches.
Third baseman [autotag]Jacob Berry[/autotag], who is considered by some to be the top college prospect, was also named to the second-team All-SEC list. Berry’s .381 batting average leads the Tigers and ranks third in the conference. The Arizona transfer who followed coach [autotag]Jay Johnson[/autotag] to the bayou also had a .400 batting average in SEC play.
First baseman [autotag]Tre’ Morgan[/autotag] was also honored, joining Crews on the All-Defensive Team. It was his second-straight selection, and he also turned in a good offensive campaign, finishing third in the SEC in doubles with 17.
It Just Means More
Congratulations to Dylan, Jacob, and Tre’ on All-SEC Honors!
