Southland Conference Baseball All-Academic Teams
FRISCO, Texas -- SFA junior Jared Martin has been recognized as one of the league's top baseball student-athletes as a First Team All-Academic selection, per a release from the league office on Thursday. Southland All-Academic teams are voted on by the head coach, sports information director and academic staff member from each member school. Student-athletes must possess a minimum 3.00 cumulative GPA and have completed one full academic year at the nominating institution to qualify. Nominees who were CoSIDA Academic All-District selections are automatically named Southland All-Academic.
Martin was SFA's top hitter this season, posting a .347 batting average while starting all 16 of the Lumberjack's games. He tallied 17 hits in the shortened campaign, driving in seven runs and scoring eight more of his own. In Martin's last action of the 2020 season, he drove in a pair of runs to lead the 'Jacks over Lamar for a series sweep on the opening weekend of league play, one of five multi-hit games he recorded in the campaign. At the time of the cancelation of the remainder of the season, SFA sat atop the league standings with an unblemished 3-0 record in conference play. A Kinesiology major, Martin sports a 3.52 GPA.
