WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. – Wake Forest juniors Will Craig and Nate Mondou each picked up their third Preseason All-American honors on Monday morning, this time from D1Baseball.
The reigning ACC player of the year, Craig was the first team selection at third base.
Described by D1Baseball as a "fearsome masher," Craig finished last year with a .382 average, 13 homers and 58 runs batted in. He is expected to move from first to third base this season, and will also pitch for the Deacs.
Mondou was a second team pick at second base. As a sophomore a year ago, Mondou was a first team All-ACC pick and third team All-American, hitting .338 with 18 doubles, 10 homers, and 57 RBIs.
Craig (first team) and Mondou (second team) also earned Preseason All-America nods from Collegiate Baseball and Perfect Game in recent weeks.
