One of five players from Big West Conference schools on the first team, Lee has one of the highest fielding percentages in the nation among shortstops with a .974 average, committing just six errors on the season. He finished second in the Big West among regular shortstops in fielding percentage.
ABCA/Rawlings All-Region First Team selections are nominated for ABCA/Rawlings All-America honors. The ABCA/Rawlings NCAA Division I All-American teams will be announced on Saturday.
In addition, Lee has been nominated for the ABCA/Rawlings NCAA Division I Gold Glove Team. Finalists will be announced via the Rawlings Sporting Goods Twitter account on Monday, June 21, and the Gold Glove winners in all divisions will be announced on Wednesday, June 23.
Lee is the first ABCA/Rawlings All-West Region first-team selection from Cal Poly since infielder Mark Mathias in 2014. Outfielder Mitch Haniger (2012) and infielder Matt Jensen (2009) also were first-team selections in Division I.
Honors already earned by Lee this spring are Big West Conference Co-Field Player of the Year and Co-Freshman Field Player of the Year as well as first-team Collegiate Baseball All-American and Freshman All-American. He also was named one of five National Co-Freshman Players of the Year by Collegiate Baseball.
Lee is one of six finalists for the Brooks Wallace Award as the nation's top shortstop and also was a semifinalist for the Golden Spikes Award, presented to the player of the year.
Lee hit a team-leading .342 this spring and also led the Mustangs in home runs (10), RBIs (57), hits (76), triples (3), total bases (139) and sacrifice flies (8). He broke the school single-season record for doubles with 27, tied for fifth place in the Big West record book.
Lee earned Big West Field Player of the Week honors three times this season and is the 54th Mustang to earn first-team All-Big West honors. He was first in the Big West in doubles, slugging percentage, RBIs, sacrifice flies and total bases, third in home runs and hits, sixth in runs scored and ninth in batting average.
Nationally, Lee ranks No. 2 in doubles and sacrifice flies, 16th in total bases, 33rd in RBIs and 36th in hits.
Lee claimed back-to-back Big West Player of the Week awards in March after going 7-for-12 against Utah Valley and 7-for-14 versus UCLA, driving in 14 runs in the two series, and earned his third after the Cal State Fullerton series in mid-May (9-for-18, four doubles, grand slam, five runs scored, seven RBIs).
He produced hitting streaks of 12 games (stopped by UC Irvine), 11 games (snapped by Hawai'i) and nine games (halted by CSUN) this season and compiled a team-leading 25 multiple-hit games and 16 multiple-RBI contests (most in the Big West).
Other Big West players on the All-West Region first team include CSUN second baseman Kai Moody, UC Irvine outfielder Mike Peabody, Long Beach State pitcher Johnathan Lavallee and UC Santa Barbara pitcher Rodney Boone.
On the second unit are UC Santa Barbara second baseman Marcos Castanon and pitcher Michael McGreevy, and Long Beach State pitcher Devereaux Harrison.
The 2021 ABCA/Rawlings NCAA Division I All-Region teams were announced in all eight regions Wednesday. The teams were voted on by members of the American Baseball Coaches Association and the process was led by the ABCA NCAA Division I All-America Committee, which is chaired by Tommy Raffo of Arkansas State University.
In all divisions, ABCA/Rawlings National Pitchers of the Year will be announced on Monday, June 28, followed by ABCA/Rawlings National Position Players of the Year on Wednesday, June 30.
The ABCA, founded in 1945, is the primary professional organization for baseball coaches at the amateur level. Its over 13,000 members represent all 50 states and 23 countries. Since its initial meeting of 27 college baseball coaches in June 1945, Association membership has broadened to include eight divisions: NCAA Division I, II and III, NAIA, NJCAA, Pacific Association Division, High School and Youth.
