COLLEGE PARK, MD -- Maryland baseball student-athletes Matt Shaw and Nick Lorusso were each named national All-Americans by the National College Baseball Writers Association, the organization announced Wednesday. Matt Shaw was named a first-team selection, while Lorusso earned third-team honors.

The 2023 Big Ten Player of the Year, Shaw receives the honor after completing one of the best seasons in Terp history, batting .341 with 24 home runs, 90 hits and 69 RBIs. A first-team All-Big Ten selection in both 2022 and 2023 Shaw set the Maryland all-time home run record, finishing his illustrious career in College Park with 53 home runs passing Paul Schager (1984-87). A Brimfield, Massachusetts native Shaw was named a Collegiate Baseball First Team All-American and the 2023 Brooks Wallace Award recipient.

Lorusso, the nation's leader in RBI with 105 in 2023, was one of the most dangerous hitters in all of college baseball this season. The Monroe, Connecticut native, Nick Lorusso recorded one of the best individual seasons in Maryland baseball history as he led the team in hits (100), RBI (105), and batting average (.379). The 2023 All-Big Ten First Team honoree holds the Maryland program record for single-game (8), single-season (105) and career (175) RBIs, doing so in just two years with the Terps. Lorusso's 105 RBI are the most for any Division I college baseball player since Billy Becher tallied 118 for New Mexico State in 2003. Named the Big Ten Tournaments Most Outstanding Player, this is the second career All-American honor for Lorusso, being named a second-team selection by Collegiate Baseball News earlier this year.
