The Louisville Slugger NCAA Division I All-American baseball teams were announced on Thursday morning by Collegiate Baseball newspaper and FGCU first-baseman Nick Rivera has been selected to the third team. This is the first All-American selection of Rivera’s career. He was named a Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American following his debut campaign in 2013. “This is a tremendous recognition for Nick,” head coach Dave Tollett said. “He had a great year for us and just continues to get better every year. He worked extremely hard for this and deserves every recognition he is going to receive.” At the plate, Nick Rivera (Cape Coral, Fla./Bishop Verot HS) had a career-season that sat near the top of the Atlantic Sun in nearly every offensive category and ranks near the top of FGCU program history. He hit a career-best .347 with a Division I program record 70 RBI and just four shy of the FGCU single-season RBI record of 74 set by Jason Louwsma in 2006. Rivera became the 11th player in program history to hit 10 home runs in a single season and collected 20 doubles for the second-straight year, which give him 42 for his career that rank ninth in program history, and a triple while scoring 34 runs and slugging .608. The junior also walked 40 times to produce an on-base percentage of .458. Rivera would be named A-Sun Player of the Week on two separate occasions in addition to being chosen as an All-Conference First Team member. He would also build a career-best hitting streak of 16 games and accumulated a streak of 26 consecutive games reaching base at one point. He becomes the fourth postseason All-American choice in FGCU joining the list of three-time MLB All-Star Chris Sale and teammates Mike Murray (West Palm Beach, Fla./Forrest Hill HS) and Jake Noll (Punta Gorda, Fla./Charlotte) who each received the recognition a year ago. The Eagles closed the 2015 season with a 30-26-1 record and were one of three teams left playing in the Atlantic Sun Championship Tournament before falling to top-seeded North Florida.
