Little Named All-America

STANFORD, Calif. – Sophomore right-handed relief pitcher Jack Little was named first-team All-America by Baseball America and second-team All-America by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper, as announced Thursday.

Little, who hails from Las Vegas, leads the Pac-12 in saves (15) with a 0.66 ERA in 41.0 innings across 23 appearances. With a 3-0 record, Little is holding opposing batters to a .170 average with 54 strikeouts against just seven walks.

Little ranks second on Stanford's single-season saves list behind only Colton Hock (16 in 2017), having earned the save in all 15 opportunities. Ten of Little's saves were longer than 1.0 inning, with five of those being 2.0 innings or more.

Most recently, Little struck out the side in the bottom of the ninth during Stanford's 6-5, comeback win at Washington last Saturday. Little recorded the final six outs, earning the win and helping the Cardinal clinch its first conference championship since 2004.
