CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Seven Miami Hurricanes received recognition from the Atlantic Coast Conference Monday afternoon, following the 2023 regular season.
Third baseman Yohandy Morales and right-handed reliever Andrew Walters were named to the All-ACC First Team, while first baseman CJ Kayfus, shortstop Dominic Pitelli and right-hander Gage Ziehl garnered All-ACC Second Team honors.
Meanwhile, second baseman Blake Cyr and Zach Levenson were tabbed to the All-ACC Third Team, with the former being among the 12 rookies tabbed to the All-ACC Freshman Team as well.
One of the most prolific hitters in college baseball, Morales leads No. 11 Miami in average (.395), hits (81) total bases (133), on-base percentage (.467), slugging (.649) and OPS (1.116). Within the league, the three-time All-ACC selection sits third in batting and tied for sixth in hits. The junior continues to climb the Hurricanes’ record books, as Morales is tied for sixth all-time in home runs (42) and has tallied 220 hits, the most by a Hurricane in nine years.
For the second straight campaign, Walters picked up first-team distinction. The hard-throwing righty finished the regular season with a 1.21 ERA, allowing just five earned runs over 24 appearances. The Palm Bay, Fla. native has a 9-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio, punching out 63 batters and issuing only seven free passes in 37 1/3 innings. His 23 career saves rank as the top mark among active ACC players.
