Madrigal, Fehmel Earn More Preseason Honors

CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon State Infielder Nick Madrigal and right-handed pitcher Bryce Fehmel each picked up preseason All-America honors from the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) on Tuesday.

The sophomores were each selected to the third team. Oregon State is the only Pac-12 Conference team with more than one selection to any of the three All-America teams.

Madrigal, the Pac-12 Conference's Freshman of the Year in 2016, batted .333 with 11 doubles, five triples, one home run, 29 runs batted in and eight stolen bases in his first season in Corvallis. He has also been recognized as a first team selection by Baseball America and Perfect Game.

Fehmel, meanwhile, earned All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention honors last season after going 10-1 with a 2.31 earned run average in 26 games, six of which were starts. He held opponents to a .248 batting average over 70 innings. Fehmel was also named a second-team preseason All-America selection by Collegiate Baseball in December.

Oregon State opens the 2017 season Feb. 17 in Surprise, Ariz., when taking on Duke to start the Sanderson Ford College Baseball Classic.
