January 31, 2022 | Cowboy Baseball
STILLWATERย โ Oklahoma State's Justin Campbell and Nolan McLean earned spots on the 2022 D1Baseball Preseason All-America Teams, with Campbell selected for the first team and McLean making the third team.
ย
A native of Simi Valley, Calif., Campbell earned multiple All-America honors last season and was named an All-Big 12 First Team performer as both a pitcher and utility player. He spent the summer of '21 playing with the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team.
ย
Campbell made 14 appearances on the mound for the Cowboys a year ago, 13 as a starter, and went 7-2 with a 2.57 ERA and 102 strikeouts in 84 innings of work. The right-hander recorded double digits in strikeouts five times and tossed the ninth no-hitter in OSU history, achieving that feat against Kansas.
ย
Campbell also appeared in 30 games as a designated hitter or pinch hitter and posted a .269 batting average to go along with a home run, five doubles and 10 RBIs.
ย
As a freshman in 2021, McLean started 39 games and hit .263 with eight homers, 10 doubles and 20 RBIs. The North Carolina native spent most of his time as an infielder but is also a prospect on the mound and was selected to the D1Baseball team as a utility player.
ย
The list of OSU's Preseason All-Americans stands at three with Victor Mederos also honored by Baseball America as a second-team selection.
ย
The No. 7 Cowboys open the 2022 season Feb. 18 at Vanderbilt.
