2024 Freshman All-American named a third-team selection
LAFAYETTE – Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns pitcher Chase Morgan picked up his first preseason honors on Tuesday when he was named a third-team Preseason All-American by Perfect Game.
Morgan, who earned Freshman All-America by the organization last season, posted a 5-3 record on the season in 20 appearances on the mound and was second among all Division I freshmen with a 3.18 earned run average. The Cypress, Texas native allowed 7.21 hits per nine innings – ranked fourth among all Division I freshmen – while his 1.07 WHIP led all freshmen.
The southpaw was also named Freshman All-America by D1Baseball (first team) and was a second-team honoree by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA).
Morgan finished as the Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the Year after concluding the regular season as the SBC leader in ERA (2.76). The left-hander was ranked second among SBC pitchers in opposing batting average (.202), runs allowed (25) and earned runs allowed (20) during the regular season.
Morgan allowed two home runs in 73.2 innings on the mound, the fewest among SBC pitchers, with all four wins during the season coming SBC games. He fanned 69 batters and walked 20 during the season as he helped lead Louisiana to a 42-20 record and regular-season Sun Belt Conference title.
Louisiana (42-20 in 2024) will officially open its 2025 season on February 14 when it hosts San Jose State in a three-game series at M.L. "Tigue' Moore Field at Russo Park.
