CLARKSVILLE, TN – Add another first to the long list of outfielder Lyle Miller-Green’s accomplishments.
The National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association made Austin Peay State University’s Miller-Green the Governors’ first-ever First Team All-American by releasing its 24th All-America Teams Wednesday. The NCBWA joins PerfectGame.com, which named Miller-Green a First Team All-America Tuesday.
The award is the latest in a string of honors bestowed upon Burke, Virginia product, who earlier this season earned the Atlantic Sun Conference’s Player and Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards after setting the conference records for home runs, RBI, and runs scored – all also Austin Peay records. He also set Austin Peay records for slugging percentage (.900), on-base percentage (.533), and walks (54) while leading the Governors to their first Atlantic Sun Conference regular-season championship.
Miller-Green is the second Governors player recognized as an All-American by the NCBWA. He joined relief pitcher Tyler Rogers, a second-team honoree during the 2013 season. Miller-Green also is APSU’s first All-American since Parker Phillips in 2019 (by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper).
The NCBWA has presented All-America teams since the 2000 season. Founded in 1962, it is dedicated to advancing college baseball. Membership is open to writers, broadcasters, and publicists of the sport. For more information about the NCBWA, visit the association’s official website, www.ncbwa.com.
