FSU’s Van Eyk Gets Freshman All-American Honors from D1Baseball.com

Florida State right-handed pitcher C.J. Van Eyk didn’t make Team USA’s 26-man roster, so he’ll have to settle for a consolation prize.

On Thursday, Van Eyk was named a Freshman All-American by D1Baseball.com. Van Eyk previously earned that distinction from the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association.

As a freshman last season, Van Eyk compiled a perfect 7-0 record to go with a 2.86 ERA. Van Eyk was used primarily as a reliever in his 19 appearances, which included five starts.

With a wicked curveball, Van Eyk struck out 71 opposing batters in 56 2/3 innings. Opponents hit just .208 off the righty. Van Eyk was second on the team behind fellow freshman Jonah Scolaro with two saves.
