He also earned NCBWA All-America status. The awards aren’t done yet, Hagen remains a finalist for the Golden Spikes Award, Dick Howser Trophy, and National Pitcher of the Year Award. Additionally, Gabe Gaeckle earned another Freshman All-America honor, this one from Perfect Game.

🔺 Diamond Dominance. Two Razorbacks were named ABCA/Rawlings South All-Region First Team! You guessed it, Hagen Smith is one of them. Peyton Stovall was also named All-Region after finishing his collegiate career. He slashed a team-leading .340/.409/.535 with 68 hits and 12 doubles.
