Raffield Adds All-America Accolades from NCBWA

ATLANTA -- Accolades continue to come for Georgia State baseball standout Chase Raffield with his selection to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers' Association (NCBWA) All-America third team, announced Wednesday. The senior outfielder was previously named a third-team All-America by Louisville Slugger/Collegiate Baseball.

Raffield, who was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 37th round, earned All-America recognition for the second straight year. He is the first two-time All-American in GSU baseball history and just the third for Georgia State in any sport, joining golfer Joel Sjoholm (2007-08) and tennis star Abigail Tere-Apisah (2012 and 2014).

The left-handed hitter from Cochran, Ga., posted a .356 average with 14 home runs (seventh in NCAA) and 59 RBI. He ranked in the top five in the Sun Belt Conference in batting average, slugging percentage (.654), on-base percentage (.442), homers, doubles and RBI

Raffield finished his two-year career as perhaps the top all-around hitter to wear a Georgia State uniform with a career batting average of .368 (second in school history) and GSU records for slugging percentage (.650), OPS (1.099) and RBI per game (1.02).
