ATLANTA, Ga. – The ASUN Conference has announced its 2022 edition of the Baseball All-Academic Team as Liberty's Aaron Anderson highlights the 13-person list as the Scholar-Athlete of the Year, the league office revealed on Tuesday. Anderson is the first Flame in program history to earn the Scholar-Athlete selection and is one of two selected to the team.
The Jacksonville, Fla., native has a 4.00 GPA while earning his Master's in Business Administration. This is the second time in a row that Anderson, who was a 2021 CoSIDA Division I Academic All-American First Team member, has found himself on the ASUN All-Academic squad. On the field, Anderson leads the Flames in batting average (.313), hits (67) and doubles (16) to go with a .424 on-base percentage. Those numbers put him among the top 10 in the ASUN in doubles and the top 15 in hits and on-base percentage. Anderson's play has helped Liberty boast a 33-20 record en route to an East Division title and the No. 1 seed in the ASUN Championship.
The All-Academic Team recognizes student-athletes who excel both on the field and in the classroom. All members of the team boast a 3.30 cumulative grade-point average or better and participated in at least half of their team's games.
