RICHMOND, Ky. – Senior catcher A.J. Lewis and junior second baseman Daniel Harris IV were chosen to the Collegiate Baseball NCAA Division I All-America team, the publication announced today.  Lewis was a first team selection while Harris earned a spot on the third team.
 
EKU has had an All-America selection in each of the last four years – Ben Fisher (2017), Alex Holderbach (2018), Aaron Ochsenbein (2019), Lewis (2020) and Harris (2020).  Lewis is Eastern's first first-team All-American since Richie Rodriguez in 2012.  It marks the first time Eastern has had two All-Americans in the same season since 2009 (Jayson Langfels and Matt Davis).

Harris was chosen by D1Baseball.com as the 25th-best second baseman in the country and as the Breakout Hitter in the OVC in 2020.  He led the OVC and was ninth in the nation with a.460 batting average.  He tied for first in the OVC in on-base percentage (.541), was eighth in slugging (.680) and eighth in runs scored.  Harris ranked 25th in NCAA in on-base percentage and 41st in hits per game (1.77).
