AUSTIN, Texas – Theodore Hoffman was selected to the 2017 CoSIDA Academic All-America
® Division I Baseball First Team, the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) announced Friday morning.
The Brenham, Texas, native earned the prestigious honor after carrying a 4.00 cumulative grade-point average in marketing.
He was the only Bobcat to start all 59 games this season, and he led Texas State in batting average (.349), hits (87), doubles (16), home runs (16), RBIs (56), total bases (153), and slugging percentage (.614). He was also second in runs scored (52) and stolen bases (14).
Hoffman finished 12th in the nation in total bases and 17th in hits. Both marks led the Sun Belt Conference. He also led the league in slugging percentage and finished in the top 4 in 10 total offensive categories.
He is now just the second Texas State baseball player to receive the prestigious distinction, joining Justin Fiske (2007). He was the only player from the SBC to be named to the first team.
The 11 members of the Academic All-America
® Division I baseball first team have an average G.P.A. of 3.91. Hoffman is one of just four members of the first team – and the only outfielder – to earn a perfect GPA.
