TicketsCINCINNATI -- Redshirt junior outfielder Griffin Merritt was named to the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) 2021‐22 Academic All‐District® Baseball Team Thursday. CoSIDA's All-District and All-America teams have been populated by the most accomplished student-athletes for academic and athletic achievement each year since 1952.
Merritt has been one of the best hitters in the country this season, hitting .321 and carrying a 1.101 OPS. His 16 home runs lead the American Athletic Conference and rank in the top-30 nationally. He also leads the AAC in slugging percentage (.716) and RBIs per game (1.07). He was named to the 2021 All-AAC Second Team and the 2022 Preseason All-AAC First Team.
