Stratton Named To Perfect Game All-America Team
STARKVILLE, Miss. --- Pitcher Chris Stratton is among four players from the Southeastern Conference named to the first team of the 2012 Perfect Game All-America Baseball Team announced Monday in Omaha, Neb.
Stratton was joined on the web site's first-team honor squad by a pair of LSU players, outfielder Raph Rymes and pitcher Kevin Gausman and by Ole Miss second baseman Alex Yarbrough.
It's the fourth All-America team selection for Stratton, set to travel to Salem, Ore., July 2 to begin his professional baseball career in the Northwest League. Stratton was a first-round draft pick of the San Francisco Giants earlier this month after capping his junior campaign at State with an 11-2 record, a 2.38 earned run average and 127 strikeouts.
