TUCSON, Ariz. – The Collegiate Baseball Newspaper announced its NCAA Division I All-American baseball teams on Thursday morning. New Mexico State catcher, Mason Fishback, earned a Second-Team All-American honor after leading the Aggies to a 35-22 overall record and a No. 1 seed at the WAC Tournament.
 
Fishback boasted a .365 batting average to go along with 16 doubles, eight home runs and 52 RBI in 53 starts for the Aggies. The junior also had a .564 slugging and .417 on-base percentage with three stolen bags.
 
The NM State catcher set new program highs on May 5 at Utah Valley when he recorded five hits and five RBI in six at-bats. Fishback followed that up with a four-hit performance the following day and went on to earn his first Western Athletic Conference Hitter of the Week distinction on May 8.
 
At the conclusion of the season, Fishback posted 24 multi-hit games and drove in multiple runs in 14 contests. Fishback ended the year reaching base in 15 straight games accompanied by a seven-game hit streak.
 
The Rancho Cucamonga, Calif. native finished among the top-10 in the conference in 16 different offensive categories. The impressive numbers earned him a First-Team All-WAC nod at the end of the 2017 season.
 
Fishback is just the second Aggie to be named to the Collegiate Baseball post-season All-American team, joining 2002 first-team selection Gabe Veloz.
