Baseball America All-American Lists
PITTSBURGH — University of Pittsburgh junior second baseman Chris Sedon was named to Baseball America’s annual All-America listing, garnering second team honors.
The honor is Sedon’s second all-America accolade following a tremendous season with the Panthers. Earlier this week, Sedon was drafted in the 10th round by the Detroit Tigers in the 2009 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft.
In his first year at Pitt, Sedon produced one of the finest seasons by a Panther baseball player. He set single-season school records for home runs (22), total bases (160), and runs scored (65) and placed among the top five in two other categories, including slugging percentage (.796) and RBI (62).
Sedon, a Collegiate News Louisville Slugger First Team All-American and All-Big East First Team selection, batted .402 during the regular season and was named to the Big East Conference Weekly Honor Roll four times. He started the year off with a nine-game hitting streak and added two separate eight-game hitting streaks along the way. Sedon also hit at least one home run in Pitt’s final 12 of 16 games, including each of the last four games.
In Pitt’s two Big East Championship games, he tallied two home runs and four RBI in losses to No. 2 South Florida and No. 3 West Virginia.
Currently, Sedon is playing for the Danbury Westerners of the New England Collegiate Baseball League.
