The infielder becomes the 19th Freshman All-American in program history.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – University of Louisville second baseman Logan Beard was named a Freshman All-American by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper, as the organization released its teams on Wednesday.
Beard is the 19th player to earn Freshman All-America honors in program history and the 15th under head coach Dan McDonnell. He adds the Freshman All-America nod to his All-ACC Freshman Team honors he garnered last month.
After sitting out the 2021 campaign, Beard has started 60 of 62 games this season at second base for the Cardinals. He enters the Super Regional round with a .310 average, 12 doubles, a triple and four home runs. He has also scored 40 runs and driven in 52.
Beard owns 21 multi-hit games on the season and has been one of Louisville's top hitters in big moments. He's currently hitting a team-best .373 with runners in scoring position, and the numbers climb to .447 with runners in scoring position and two outs.
Beard and the Cardinals captured the program's fifth ACC Atlantic Division in seven full seasons as a member of the league. Louisville then reeled off three consecutive victories in the NCAA Regional after falling into the losers' bracket last weekend to secure a spot in the Super Regional round.
The Cardinals open up Super Regional play on Friday at Texas A&M. First pitch is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET on Friday night and will be televised on ESPNU.
