George Mason junior catcher Chris Henderson was selected to the Division I all-American first team as chosen by the staff of Collegiate Baseball newspaper, becoming the first Patriots player to earn such an honor.
Henderson is hitting .415 with 14 home runs, 54 RBI and 69 runs. He was named Colonial Athletic Association defensive player of the year and shared CAA player of the year honors with Patriots senior outfielder Scott Krieger.
Krieger and George Mason senior pitcher Mike Modica were chosen to the all-American second team. The Patriots (42-12) open NCAA regional play Friday against South Carolina (38-21) in Greenville, N.C.
San Diego State pitcher Stephen Strasburg, expected to be the No. 1 pick by the Washington Nationals in next month's MLB first-year player draft, was named player of the year.
