Trofholz second-team Preseason All-American

Frog senior outfielder Terry Trofholz has been named a second-team preseason All-American by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA).

The senior, who set the C-USA record for batting average last year (.441), earned second-team postseason all-America from the NCBWA, Baseball Weekly and the American Baseball Coaches Association last season. He also collected first-team all-conference honors and was named Metroplex Player of the Year by the Society for American Baseball Research. He rounded out his list of 2002 honors with a spot on the Easton/Redline All-Defensive Team.

In addition to setting the C-USA batting record, Trofholz also tied the TCU record for hits in a season with 94. His .441 average ranked seventh nationally in 2002 and was the second highest mark in TCU history. Trofholz posted a 21-game hitting streak and led the Frogs with 22 stolen bases and eight outfield assists last season.
