Miller-Green Picks D1Baseball All-America Honor

LMG Becomes First Governor to Earn D1Baseball Postseason Recognition

June 21, 2024

CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Austin Peay State University outfielder Lyle Miller-Green is now 5-for-5 on All-America teams after D1Baseball named him a Third Team All-America selection Wednesday.

It is the first time D1Baseball has recognized an Austin Peay athlete on its All-America teams. In earning his fifth All-America nod, Miller-Green became the first Austin Peay athlete to gain recognition on five different teams, surpassing Governors' pitcher Tyler Rogers, who was named to four All-America teams in 2013.

Earlier this month, Miller-Green was named a First Team All-American by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association and PerfectGame.com. The American Baseball Coaches Association also named him a Second Team All-American and Baseball America named him a Third Team All-American. The honors follow the Atlantic Sun Conference recognizing him as its Player of the Year and Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

The College Baseball Foundation is yet to release their 2024 All-America team.
