Maxfield,
Sale take top A-Sun preseason honors
FGCU juniors Zach Maxfield
and Chris Sale took top honors as the Atlantic Sun released its
preseason all-conference team, as voted by the league’s head
coaches and released by the conference office.
Maxfield was named
Preseason Player of the Year. The first baseman led the league
with 20 home runs and paced the Eagles with 66 RBI.
Sale was the unanimous choice for Preseason
Pitcher of the Year. A Preseason All-American, Sale was 7-4 a
season ago with a 2.72 ERA. The left-hander was named the top
prospect in the Cape Cod League last summer after being named
MVP of the league’s All-Star Game.
FGCU led the way with four
on the preseason all-conference squad. Joining Maxfield and Sale
were junior catcher Robert Green and junior third baseman Tim
Roberson.
Jacksonville had three players honored, while
Kennesaw State had two.
