First UNF Freshman All-American Since 2016
TUCSON, Ariz. - After finishing in or around the top ten among freshmen nationwide in a number of statistical categories, Alex Lodise was named to the Collegiate Baseball Freshman All-American Team for his performance with UNF baseball in 2023 as announced by the publication yesterday.
Lodise is one of six freshman shortstops across all of Division I to be named to the Collegiate Baseball Freshman All-American Team. He joins Wehiwa Aloy (Sacramento State), Kolby Branch (Baylor), Drew Faurot (UCF), Eric Snow (USF) and Anthony Silva (TCU) on the team.
Among the six freshman shortstops picked, Lodise paced the position in home runs and RBI, hitting 16 while driving in 63, both good for team bests.
The St. Augustine, Fla., native set the UNF freshman record for home runs, RBI and runs scored this past season, earning ASUN Player of the Week honors April 3, unanimous ASUN All-Freshman honors and First Team All-ASUN recognition.
Lodise earns the ninth Freshman All-American honor in the program's DI era and the first since hard throwing lefty Austin Drury did so back in 2016. Assistant coach Kyle Brooks is the last shortstop to be named to the freshman all-american ranks for UNF, doing so in 2013.
