COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – More national recognition for Tennessee Tech senior Kevin Strohschein continues to roll in, as the Golden Eagle outfielder took home All-American Third Team honors from D1Baseball.com Thursday.
It represents the fourth All-American nod of the season for the three-time Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year, who was awarded Perfect Game/Rawlings College All-American Honorable Mention honors Wednesday. Strohschein also claimed Third Team All-American honors from Baseball America and First Team All-American recognition from Collegiate Baseball earlier in the month. Already the most decorated player in program history, the honor brings his total All-American bids to 12 for his four-year career.
In his final season suiting up in the purple and gold, Strohschein turned in a .382/.447/.691 slash line while driving in 47 runs and scoring 57. In 54 games, he collected 89 hits, including 23 doubles, two triples and 15 home runs.
Throughout the 2019 campaign, Strohschein laid waste to the Tech and OVC record books, setting new career standards for both in hits (362), doubles (74), home runs (62), RBI (247), total bases (642) and at bats (1,009). He also finished second in league history, as well as first in program history, in runs scored (238), games played (236) and games started (236). His 362 career hits were enough for him to crack the top-10 of the NCAA Division I Baseball career hits list as well.
