Jeremy Cruz has been named to the ABCA/Rawlings All-South Region First Team as an outfielder. It is the latest post-season honor for the standout Hatter. Cruz, a senior out of Miami, Florida has already earned TPX Louisville Slugger Second Team All-America and All-Ping! Baseball honors, was named the A-Sun Player of the Year, and was drafted in the 13th round (411th overall) by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
Cruz completed the season with a .399 batting average, 18 home runs and 80 runs batted in. He narrowly missed batting over .400 for the second consecutive season by just percentage points. His 18 home runs tied the team record for home runs in a season, and his 80 RBI placed him at the top of the conference, and in the Top-5 in the nation. His RBI effort tied him for the sixth-best single-season total in A-Sun history and is the third-highest total in the league in the last 20 years. Cruz also led Stetson in hits (91), doubles (19), runs scored (62), slugging percentage (.719), and on base percentage (.474).
