Oregon designated hitter/pitcher Kenyon Yovan earned another preseason baseball all-American honor Monday when was he named to D1Baseball's third team.

Yovan was named a first team preseason all-American by Collegiate Baseball in December.

Yovan was off to a fast start in 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic wiped out the remainder of the baseball season. Yovan led the Ducks in hitting (.429), hits (24), home runs (4), runs (22), on-base percentage (.556), slugging percentage (.714) and walks (15) in earning first team all-American honors from Collegiate Baseball. He also had six multi-hit game and five three-hit games while finishing in the top three in the Pac-12 in seven offensive categories.

Yovan is the only Oregon player ever named an all-American as both a hitter and a pitcher during his career. Yovan earned a spot on the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (first team) and the Collegiate Baseball (second team) teams following his freshman season in 2017 as a pitcher. As the Ducks’ closer that season, he was also named to four different freshman all-America Teams, and was one of Collegiate Baseball’s Freshmen of the Year.
