WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Will Craig picked up his sixth All-America honor and fifth First Team All-America honor on Tuesday, this time being selected by Perfect Game.
Craig was tabbed as the first baseman on the All-America First Team after hitting .382 with 13 homers and 58 RBIs in 2015.
He was second on the First Team with 20 doubles, trailing only Vanderbilt's Danby Swanson, who played in 18 more games.
A consensus All-American, Craig has also been named a First Team All-American by Louisville Slugger, NCBWA, ABCA and D1Baseball, and a Second Team honoree by Baseball America.
His list of honors include being named the ACC Player of the Year, a Dick Howser Trophy semifinalist, and on the watch lists for the Golden Spikes Award and John Olerud Award.
This Thursday (July 2) at 8:30 p.m. ET, Craig will be participating in the TD Ameritrade College Home Run Derby on ESPN. Among the eight competitors, he is one of four from the ACC, joined by Miami's Zack Collins, Georgia Tech's Kel Johnson and NC State's Joe Dunand.
