MOREHEAD, Ky. - Morehead State junior shortstop Drew Lee has added another honor to his list of 2009 postseason awards. This week, the Mt. Sterling, Ky., native was named to the American Baseball Coach's Association/Rawlings All-South Region First-Team. Lee's name will now go onto the national ballot for All-America consideration. He has already earned a third-team All-American honor from Collegiate Baseball.

On the field Lee had one of MSU's best offensive seasons in school history. He set a school record for hits in a season with 86 and also had a team high 18 doubles and 17 home runs. He had 67 RBI, scored 62 runs and totaled a league-best 159 bases during the 52 games MSU played this year. He ranked in the top five in the OVC in homers, doubles, RBI and runs scored and his total base final stats were only three shy of the MSU single season mark.

He ended with a .413 batting average and was named First-Team All-OVC. He was also one of 15 semifinalists for the 2009 Brooks Wallace Award, which honors NCAA Division I's best shortstop. Drew was also named OVC Player of the Week and was listed on the College Baseball Foundation and Diamond Sports National All-Star Lineup on April 23.

He was also honored as a CoSIDA Second-Team Academic All-American and was named Academic All-District IV as well.
