SAN DIEGO - San Diego State designated hitter Brock Ungricht has been named to the 2004 Baseball America Freshman All-American second team after earning the first-team honors from Collegiate Baseball earlier this month. He is the first Aztec to be honored by the publication since Robert Womack (1998) and also the first SDSU player to win Freshman All-American accolades from both Collegiate Baseball and Baseball America since 1998.
Ungricht, a local product out of Mission Bay High School in San Diego, led SDSU with a .373 batting average, 21 doubles, a .518 slugging and a .448 on-base percentage. He finished second on the squad with 48 runs batted in and also recorded three triples, three home runs and five stolen bases. He finished the year with a team-leading 28 multiple-hit games and also recorded 11 multiple-RBI contests.
An all-Mountain West Conference selection in his first year of collegiate ball, Ungricht earned league player of the week honors twice during the 2004 campaign and is the only freshman in MWC history to win the award in back-to-back weeks.
In conference play, Ungricht hit .434 with 14 doubles and 30 RBI in 28 contests. He finished second in batting average in the final MWC statistics.
Ungricht is the fifth SDSU player in the past five years to earn Freshman All-America honors and the eighth since the 1994 season.
