He is special, what more can you say about him.
Two-way Kentucky star AJ Reed has been named National Player of the Year and first-team All-America, Austin Cousino earned his second consecutive Rawlings Golden Glove Award, and Max Kuhn has been tabbed second-team All-Region, it was announced by the American Baseball Coaches Association on Wednesday afternoon.
A native of Terre Haute, Ind., Reed earned his fourth national player of the year honor in 2014 with the ABCA honor. The two-way star is seeking to become the third all-time Southeastern Conference player to earn unanimous national player of the year accolades, joining David Price (2007) and Dave Magadan (1983).
Reed has been named national player of the year by Collegiate Baseball and the ABCA, the College Player of the Year by Baseball America, and on Saturday won the 2014 Dick Howser Trophy, presented by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association at the College World Series.
The 6-foot-4, 240-pound left-handed pitcher/first baseman was named first-team All-America by the ABCA, first-team All-Region as the designated hitter and second-team All-Region as a starting pitcher. Reed has earned first-team All-America honors from Baseball America, the NCBWA, Louisville Slugger, Perfect Game USA and the ABCA.
Reed joins Kuhn, UK’s third baseman, on the ABCA All-Region team, with Cousino – UK three-year anchor in centerfield – winning his second consecutive ABCA Rawlings Gold Glove Award. Cousino’s honor marks the third player Kentucky history to win the Rawlings Gold Glove Award, joining second baseman Ryan Wilkes (2008) and lefty Corey Littrell (2012).
