DALLAS – University of Dayton baseball sophomore Michael DiMartini continues to haul in postseason awards, as the Pittsburgh native has been named Third Team All-American by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA), the organization announced Wednesday afternoon.
 
It marks the second consecutive season that a Flyer has been named an All-American by the NCBWA, joining 2024 honoree Nick Wissman. It is just the fourth time in program history a UD baseball player has earned an All-American honor (Nick Wissman, Second Team NCBWA, Third Team ABCA; Brian Blasik, Third Team Louisville Slugger All-American, 2012).
 
DiMartini, who was announced as a First Team All-East Region honoree by the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) yesterday, was the first Flyer to hit over .400 in a season since 2004 when he batted .403 this season.
 
The Pittsburgh native finished the season setting program records for hits (96), runs scored (69) and stolen bases (37). He finished the year with a 1.150 OPS, 14 home runs, 11 doubles, seven triples and 65 RBI and was an All-Atlantic 10 first team honoree.
 
DiMartini joins teammate Rylan Lujo with receiving accolades from the NCBWA this week, as Lujo was named First Team Freshman All-American by the organization yesterday.
 
Founded in 1962, the NCBWA is dedicated to the advancement of college baseball. Membership is open to writers, broadcasters and publicists of the sport. For more information about the NCBWA, visit the association's website, www.ncbwa.com.
