All-SEC Baseball Teams Released

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WCBI/SEC) — Kentucky’s A.J. Reed was selected 2014 SEC Baseball Player of the Year, Aaron Nola of LSU was named SEC Pitcher of the Year and Florida pitcher Logan Shore was named SEC Freshman of the Year by a vote of the league’s 14 head baseball coaches.  The coaches also tabbed Florida head coach Kevin O’Sullivan SEC Coach of the Year. Seth Heck of Mississippi State was named SEC Baseball Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

Florida brought home the program’s 13th SEC Championship and 22nd Eastern Division title. It was the Gators’ first SEC crown since 2011. O’Sullivan’s three titles (2010-11-14) match Dave Fuller (1948-75) for the most in school history. The Gators have now won the East four times in O’Sullivan’s seven years at the helm (2009-10-11-14).
