MOREHEAD, Ky. - The postseason baseball honors continue to add up for Morehead State junior shortstop Drew Lee, a native of nearby of Mt. Sterling. On Thursday (May 28), the Collegiate Baseball newspaper announced its Louisville Slugger TPX All-Americans, and Lee was named on the Third-Team.

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. Recently he was also honored as a CoSIDA Second-Team Academic All-American.

Lee was among five Ohio Valley Conference student-athletes named Collegiate Baseball/Louisville Slugger TPX Third-Team All-Americans.
