CBF Picks Knapp For All-America Team

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Adding to his already impressive list of accolades, North Carolina ace Jake Knapp earned yet another All-America honor on Wednesday afternoon as the College Baseball Foundation (CBF) listed him among the nation's best.

Named the CBF's National Pitcher of the Year just a few weeks prior, his third first-team All-America selection gives him five AA nods thus far this postseason. He was also on the NCBWA and ABCA first teams, the Perfect Game second team, and Baseball America's third.

Knapp was phenomenal this season in battling back from Tommy John surgery that took away his 2024 campaign. His 14-0 record is both the best in the country and the best in program history, as he finished with the most wins without defeat ever by a Tar Heel. He wrapped up his season with a 2.02 ERA in 102.1 innings pitched, two complete games, 88 strikeouts, and only 16 walks.

His 0.86 WHIP was third best nationally and just .03 away from breaking the program record. He went over a month in the heart of the season without allowing a walk, going 27 straight IP across four starts. He would not allow a free pass in six of his appearances, including four of his last five.
