Ranger Catcher Patrick Farrell Earns Three All-America Honors

Denver, Colo.: Senior catcher Patrick Farrell has been raking in the all-america honors over the last week highlighted by the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) Second Team All-America honors.

Farrell, from Cheyenne, Wyo., also garnered ESPN THE MAGAZINE Academic All-America Third Team and Daktronics Honorable Mention All-America.  The ABCA honor was voted on by the coaches while both the Daktronics and ESPN THE MAGAZINE were both voted on by sports information directors around the nation.

He was one of the top homerun hitters in the nation finishing with 20 while also driving in a team-high 55 runs.  His .897 slugging percentage is third base in Regis history and his homerun total second most.  The exercise science/biology major had a cumulative 3.43 GPA through the fall semester.  Farrell's .777 career slugging percentage topped the previous Regis record by .100 points.

Farrell had two three homerun games and led the Rangers with 15 multi-RBI games including two games with five.  He had a 13-game hitting streak midway through the season which tied fellow senior Jesus Arzaga for the most this season by a Ranger.

Farrell was even better in clutch situations, especially with runners in scoring position.  He hit .426 (23-of-54) in those situations with 11 RBIs, which bettered his team-leading batting average of .386.

His 35 career homeruns in just two seasons are second most in Ranger history trailing Scott Landgraf (1989-91) by just three.  His .369 career batting average is 10th best in the Regis baseball record book.

Farrell is now awaiting the June Major League Baseball Amateur draft after one of the most decorated seasons in Regis baseball history.
