Baker Named All-American by Baseball Weekly

---

ARLINGTON, VA - Clemson sophomore Jeff Baker has been selected as a

second team All-American at third base by Baseball Weekly for the

2001 season. The All-American honor is the second for Baker this

season and the third for the Tigers this year. He was named a first

team Louisville Slugger NCAA Division I All-American by the staff at

Collegiate Baseball while teammate Steve Reba was named to the third

team.

Baker, a first team All-ACC selection this year, has had a

record-setting season from the plate after being named a first-team

Freshman All-American as a designated hitter last year. He leads the

ACC with 23 home runs this season and needs just one more to tie

Clemson's single-season record. He has 34 home runs through his

first two seasons, the most of any Tiger after two years. Baker, who

hails from Woodbridge, VA, has homered twice in a game five times

this season and seven times in his career, both new school standards.

He also ranks in the top seven in the ACC and leads the Tigers in

RBIs (73), slugging percentage (.758), on base percentage (.474) and

runs scored (65).
