DURHAM, N.C. - Sophomore third baseman Colin Moran was named to the Baseball America Preseason All-America Second Team on Monday. Moran was named the Baseball America Freshman of the Year in 2011 after pacing the Tar Heels with a .335 average and tallied a league-high 71 RBI. Moran and the Tar Heels will open the 2012 season Friday when they host Xavier at 3 p.m. at Boshamer Stadium.

The preseason honor is the fourth for Moran in 2012 as he was also named to the Perfect Game, NCBWA and Collegiate Baseball preseason All-America teams.

aseball America annually polls major league scouting directors to vote on the team and make their selections based on performance, talent and professional potential.
