Myrick & MacDonald Named Freshman All-Americans by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper

FIU right-handers Nick MacDonald and Tyler Myrick were named to the Collegiate Baseball Newspaper Freshman All-American Team on Wednesday.

MacDonald and Myrick, who were named to the Conference USA All-Freshman team last month, anchored the Panthers starting rotation for the majority of the 2017 season.

MacDonald was 7-3 with a 4.29 ERA this past season while pitching out of the Friday and Sunday slots. The right-hander pitched 71 1/3 innings and struck out 68 batters while walking 30.

In nine of his 13 starts, MacDonald allowed three runs or less. MacDonald earned Conference USA Pitcher of the Week early last season after he beat Manhattan by pitching 7 2/3 innings, allowing one run and striking out nine batters.

Myrick, who started most Saturday games, led all FIU starters with a 3.73 ERA last season while posting a 6-2 record. The right-hander struck out 57 batters in 72 1/3 innings while he walked just 28.

Myrick allowed three runs or less in nine of his 10 starts last season, including a stretch of seven straight starts where he allowed three runs or less. Myrick had his best start last season against Western Kentucky when he pitched seven shutout innings and struck out six in a 6-0 win.
