Compton is earning the recognition for the second time in his career while the others earned their first honors. The 17 selections mark the fourth-straight year that baseball has garnered five or more members to the team after no team was named in 2020.

The banner year for Georgia Tech baseball in the classroom continues after DeLeo, Dispigna and Giesler earned CSC Academic All-America honors earlier this month. In addition to those three, King and Rubenstein also garnered CSC Academic All-District selections in May.
