Trofholz receives award for defensive play

TCU rightfielder Terry Trofholz, who broke the Conference USA batting record with a .441 average last season, has also been recognized for his defensive prowlus as he was named to the 2002 Easton Redline All-Defensive Team.

As a junior last season, Trofholz collected a team-high eight outfield assists and committed just one error in 119 chances, good for a .992 fielding percentage.

“This is a terrific honor for Terry,” TCU head coach Lance Brown said. “He does so much for our team and it’s nice to see him recognized for his great defensive ability as well as what he does at the plate.”

Trofholz also collected consensus second-team all-America accolades a season ago, as well as being named first-team all-C-USA and all-region, and the Society for American Baseball Research Metroplex College Baseball Player of the Year.
