AUSTIN, Texas — University of Texas standouts Dylan Volantis and Rylan Galvan garnered All-America honors from the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association, the organization announced Wednesday afternoon.
Volantis is the lone freshman to be named to the top team, while Galvan is one of two catchers slotted on the third team.
The NCBWA National Freshman Pitcher of the Year notched a 4-1 ledger and a 1.94 ERA over 51 innings, recording 12 walks and 74 strikeouts.
Volantis — who was also tabbed an NCBWA Freshman All-American and Stopper of the Year Award finalist — paces all rookies nationally in WHIP (0.88) and saves (12) and ranks second in ERA and B/AVG (1.85).
The 6-foot-6, 212-pound left-handed hurler is tied for 10th in the country in saves. Volantis' 11 saves in conference action are the most by an SEC freshman ever.
In league play, the SEC Freshman of the Year led all pitchers in ERA (1.59), WHIP (0.85), B/AVG (.160) and saves.
An All-SEC First Team selection, Galvan paced the Longhorns in seven offensive categories, highlighted by a 1.065 OPS.
The junior's team-best 15 home runs were the most by a Texas backstop in a season since Chris Abbe in 1992.
Galvan — who is one of three finalists for the Buster Posey National Collegiate Catcher of the Year Award — totaled a .296/.452/.613 slash line and totaled 47 RBI.
