DURHAM, N.C. – Gunnar Hoglund ranks among the top returning pitchers in the Southeastern Conference in numerous statistical categories, and the junior right-hander has been recognized as such once again, earning his second preseason All-American nod for 2021.
D1Baseball tabbed Hoglund to the Preseason All-America Second Team on Monday. Hoglund was previously named to Collegiate Baseball's Preseason All-America Third Team.
Hoglund was left off of the All-American teams last season despite a fantastic season on the hill, and one that even eclipsed Nikhazy's on paper. The sophomore out of Hudson, Florida, finished second in the SEC with 37 strikeouts and third in the conference in wins with three, as well as strikeout-to-walk ratio at 9.25. He was also fifth in strikeouts-per-nine-innings at 14.3 and was sixth in ERA at 1.16.
The 2018 First Round MLB Draft pick started all four Saturday games for the Rebels, walking two batters or fewer each game while striking out seven or more in all four outings. His season-high of 12 strikeouts came against Xavier. He also fanned 10 in his final start of the season against Princeton.
Among returning SEC pitchers, Hoglund ranks first in strikeouts and strikeout-to-walk ratio, second in walks allowed per nine innings, third in strikeouts per nine innings and fourth in earned run average.
