While he awaits to hear the final decision on the National College Baseball Writers Association’s Stopper of the Year award, the NCBWA has named Jimmie Sherfy to their  All-American first team.

Sherfy excelled in his junior year, setting a new school record with 21 saves, which was second best in the nation. The record he broke was his own, set in 2012 with 19 saves.

The saves, along with a 2.25 ERA and a nation-leading 12.98 strikeouts per nine innings, have garnered the attention of the majors. Last week, Sherfy was selected 300th overall by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 2013 MLB draft.
