SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. - Seton Hall baseball graduate Josh Prevost (Belle Mead, N.J.) was named today to the 2014 Louisville Slugger NCAA Division I All-America Second Team by Collegiate Baseball.
A Golden Spikes Award semifinalist, Prevost recently completed one of the greatest single-season pitching performances in the history of the Seton Hall baseball program. Named Seton Hall's first BIG EAST Pitcher of the Year since 1992, he was named conference Pitcher of the Week six times and to the Weekly Honor Roll and additional three times. Named Seton Hall's Senior Student-Athlete of the Year, he has also been named to the watch list for the College Baseball Hall of Fame's National Pitcher of the Year Award. A unanimous First Team All-Conference selection, Prevost finished the 2014 season as the BIG EAST leader in wins, ERA, strikeouts, opponent batting average, innings pitched, complete games and shutouts. His final career start was one for the ages. In the first round of the BIG EAST Championship, Prevost tossed a four-hit, complete-game shutout as Seton Hall held on for a 1-0 victory over St. John's. His seven strikeouts in the game gave him 111 for the season, third-most in Seton Hall history. Prevost's 12th victory ties him with former Pirates Phil Cundari and Rich Vichroski for most all-time. His 116.1 innings pitched is the second-most ever for a Pirate, trailing only Joe DiRocco's 118.2, but Prevost had two fewer starts.
