TUCSON, Ariz. ­– Cal State Fullerton freshman second baseman Sahid Valenzuela has been named to Collegiate Baseball Newspaper's Freshman All-American Team, the publication announced on Wednesday.

Valenzeuela is one of 12 second basemen to claim a spot on the team.
The Yuma, Ariz. native put together a regular season to remember for the Titans, as he became the first Cal State Fullerton player to be named the Big West Freshman Field Player of the Year since Michael Lorenzen claimed the honor in 2011. Valenzuela currently leads the Titans and ranks tied for fourth in the Big West with a .338 batting average. He's played in 52 of 58 contests during his first season with the Titans and has tallied 69 hits up to this point.
 

His production has been incredible for Fullerton thus far, as he leads the team with 22 multi-hit performances, while he's collected hits in 35 of his last 42 games, with 19 of those being multi-hit games.

 

Valenzuela has been a force so far for the Titans in the postseason as well. He's batting .333, going 4-of-8 from the dish so far, with two of those knocks going for extra bases.

 

Valenzuela has been named to the All-Big West First Team, the conference's Field Freshman of the Year, and to the CBF's Brooks Wallace Award Watch List.

 

Connor Seabold was named to Collegiate Baseball Newspaper's NCAA Division I All-American Second Team, while Titan closer Brett Conine was named to the third team last Thursday.
