GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The University of Florida baseball team had five players collect 2023 All-America honors from Perfect Game/Rawlings on Thursday in left-handed pitcher/first baseman Jac Caglianone, outfielder Wyatt Langford, shortstop Josh Rivera, second baseman Cade Kurland and left-hander Cade Fisher. Caglianone was also named Perfect Game's Two-Way Player of the Year.
Caglianone and Langford were listed on Perfect Game's First Team at utility and outfield, respectively. Rivera was honored as a Second Team infielder while Kurland (First Team) and Fisher (Second Team) hauled in Freshman All-America status. Most notably, Friday's announcement marks the first-career All-America recognition for Fisher.
Additionally, Caglianone and Langford earned their third All-America awards of the 2023 campaign. Rivera's Second Team nod marks his second of the season as well as his highest-career All-America honor, with Kurland picking up his second Freshman All-American mention.
For Caglianone, the Tampa, Fla. native was honored as the publication's Two-Way Player of the Year after being snubbed for the John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Award earlier this week.
Florida opens play at the 2023 College World Series in Omaha, Neb. With a Friday night showdown against No. 11 Virginia at 7 p.m. ET on Friday, June 16 on ESPN.
