SECOND TEAM
There isn’t a single player on the Second Team who couldn’t be argued as a First Team candidate - it is likely that more than a few will be on the final post season squad. Second Team third basemen Conor Gillaspie of Wichita State and Ian Hollick of New Mexico have both continued to impress and could be household names come May. Highly touted Tennessee outfielder Julio Borbon will be sidelined for the beginning of the season due to an ankle injury, but should be back and chasing pitchers late March. Shortstop Brian Friday joins First Team selections Savery and St. Clair as Rice Owls deserving of an All-Ping! nod. Several players from smaller schools will likely rewrite their university’s record book with impact seasons. Catcher Tom Hill of Albany, Marcus Davis from Alcorn State, Ryan Gotcher of Arkansas Little Rock and Josh Dew from Troy could lead their teams to Omaha. Military men Milan Dinga of Army and Navy’s Mitch Harris are multi-talented players who are the pride of their country as well as their teams.

Second Team pitchers include flamethrowers Christian Friedrich of Eastern Kentucky, Alex Wilson of Winthrop and Ryan Reid of James Madison. Nebraska’s Tony Watson and James Simmons of UC Riverside use poise and control to get their outs. Andrew Carnigan from North Carolina hopes to be on the mound, recording the final out in the CWS in 2007 after being edged out by Oregon State last year. If he isn’t there, don’t be surprised to see Josh Fields of Georgia or Florida State’s Luke Tucker closing the final game.
