Texas A&M outfielder Jace LaViolette made the Southeastern Conference all-freshman baseball team. LaViolette is hitting .306 with 18 home runs and 57 runs batted along with 16 stolen bases to make the 12-player squad.
LaViolette’s 18 homers is a school record for a freshman, topped 17 by John Byington in 1987.
LaViolette also was named the SEC player of the week Monday after going 5 for 10 against Mississippi State, with seven RBIs. He hit a trio of homers in Friday’s 6-4 victory and was walked four times on the weekend.
