MORGANTOWN, W. Va. - Wake Forest sophomore Will Craig earned his second and third First Team All-America honors, as he was recognized by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association and D1Baseball on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.
Craig becomes the first Demon Deacon to receive First Team All-America from three different outlets in a season since Billy Masse was honored by the ABCA, Baseball America and Sporting News in 1988.
The first baseman on the All-America First Team, Craig finished his season with a .382 average, 20 doubles, 13 homers and 58 RBIs, along with 41 walks and just 24 strikeouts.
He was also a Louisville Slugger All-American, the ACC Player of the Year, a Dick Howser Trophy semifinalist, Midseason Player of the Year and on the Golden Spikes Award watch list.
Craig is spending the summer in the Cape Cod League with the Chatham Anglers and will be a junior at Wake Forest for the 2016 campaign.
