TUCSON, Ariz. – The Collegiate Baseball NCAA Division I All-American baseball teams were announced on Thursday. New Mexico State pitcher Jonathan Groff earned the Collegiate Baseball Second-Team All-American nod after a standout senior campaign that also earned the southpaw a conference pitcher of the year honor.
 
In his final season with the Crimson & White, Groff posts an 11-2 record with a 2.49 ERA over 97.2 innings of work. The lefty tosses two of the Aggies three complete games during the 2018 season compiled 84 punch-outs while holding opposing batters to a .253 average.
 
The hurler helped lead NM State to its first ever Western Athletic Conference Tournament title as he picked up a win in his tournament start and threw 1.2 innings in relief during the championship game.
 
Groff now joins current teammate Mason Fishback who was a Collegiate Baseball Second-Team All-American (2017), as well as former Aggie Gabe Veloz who was named to the first-team (2002).
 
New Mexico State makes its first NCAA Regionals appearance since 2012 taking on No. 9 Texas Tech in the first round of the Lubbock Regional on Friday, June 1, at 12 p.m. MT.
