TicketsCINCINNATI – University of Cincinnati baseball infielder Kerrington Cross was named a Second Team All-American by D1Baseball on Thursday.
It's the fourth All-America team Cross has earned a spot on since the end of the 2025 season. He was named a College Baseball Foundation All-American on Wednesday and had previously been placed on All-America teams by Perfect Game and ABCA/Rawlings.
Cross' four All-America selections trail only Ian Happ (2015) in program history.
Cross was one of three Big 12 position players to earn a spot on one of D1Baseball's All-America teams, and the only one picked higher than third team. Kansas first baseman Brady Ballinger and Arizona infielder Mason White were both third-team selections.
D1Baseball noticed his play earlier in the year, ranking him as their No. 1 third baseman in the nation during its Week 12 position rankings.
