Tennessee first-year shortstop Dean Curley<\/strong> has been named a Freshman All-American by D1 Baseball following a standout first year in Knoxville with the Vols.<\/p>\n

The middle infielder was named to the second-team. He joins pitcher Dylan Loy,<\/strong> who was also named a second-team Freshman All-American by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association back in June. Curley becomes the seventh Tennessee player who has earned All-American postseason honors since winning the national championship in June<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Having already been named to the Southeastern Conference All-Freshman Team at the end of the regular season, Curley turned in a fine debut season for Tennessee. The La Verne, Calif. native jumped int the starting lineup four games into the season and never looked back, registering a .285 clip at the plate with 12 home runs, 50 runs batted in, 51 runs scored, 10 doubles<\/a>, nine stolen bases and 31 walks.<\/p>\n

Over 12 postseason games for the Vols this summer, Curley hit for a respectable .318 average with three homers and 12 RBI, which tied for third on the team during the stretch. In Omaha for the six-game stretch at the College World Series, Curley hit a shade under .400 at .391 with two doubles and four RBI.<\/p>\n

Currently, Curley is standing out while playing for the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team with a walk off hit on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
