Bronx, N.Y. – (June 19, 2021) – As the College World Series gets underway, the ABCA/Rawlings All-American teams were released on Saturday with Fordham University senior pitcher Matt Mikulski (Mohegan Lake, N.Y.) garnering First Team All-America honors. Earlier this week, he was named First Team All-Northeast Region by the ABCA.
He becomes Fordham's first unanimous All-American since Chase Edmonds did so for football in 2016. Mikulski was selected First Team All-America by the NCBWA and ABCA/Rawlings, Second Team by Collegiate Baseball, and Third Team by Baseball America.
The 2021 Atlantic 10 Pitcher of the Year and Golden Spikes Award semifinalist, Mikulski completed one of the finest single seasons in Fordham baseball history in 2021.
The 2021 Vincent T. Lombardi Award winner as the top male athlete at Fordham, finished the year with a perfect 9-0 record to go with a 1.45 ERA and 124 strikeouts in 68.1 innings pitched. He led the Atlantic 10 in ERA, hits allowed/9 innings, strikeouts, strikeouts/9 innings, wins (T-1st), complete games (T-1st), and WHIP in the regular season, while nationally, he was the NCAA leader in both hits allowed/9 innings and strikeouts/9 innings and among the top five in ERA, total strikeouts, and WHIP.
A four-time Atlantic 10 Pitcher of the Week and two-time National Player of the Week honoree, Mikulski held opponents to a .127 batting average overall, while lefties hit to an .073 average (4-for-55). He set single season record for strikeouts at Fordham, breaking Hank Borowy's 1939 mark of 115, while also becoming the all-time strikeout king at Fordham with 272, surpassing Javier Martinez's 264 from 2004-07.
Additionally, his 1.45 ERA is the fifth-best single season mark at Fordham with his 3.17 career ERA, raking in a tie for 15th all-time. Mikulski also became the 11th Ram to reach 20 career wins (tied for fifth all-time with 21), while his nine wins in a single season is tied for eighth.
