BATON ROUGE — LSU junior right-hander Jared Bradford was named second-team All-South Region Friday by the American Baseball Coaches Association.
Bradford, a product of Hueytown, Ala., completed the regular season with a 10-4 mark, tying Vanderbilt’s David Price and Casey Weathers for the most victories among SEC pitchers. Bradford also led LSU with five saves, and he posted either a win or a save in 10 of LSU’s 12 SEC victories.
Bradford, who was voted second-team all-SEC last week, worked a team-high 96 innings, recording 16 walks, 81 strikeouts and a .255 opponents’ batting average. He started 11 games and made 12 relief appearances during the regular season.
Bradford was named a Collegiate Baseball magazine National Player of the Week on March 5 after a 13-strikeout performance against Lipscomb.
He was also named the Louisiana Sportswriters Association Pitcher of the Week on four occasions during the season.
