MOREHEAD, Ky. – Morehead State senior shortstop Drew Lee earned his second preseason All-American honor when he was named 2010 Ping!Baseball Preseason Second Team All-America Monday.

The senior slugger was previously named to the Louisville Slugger Third Team All-America.

Lee was one of six Ohio Valley Conference players to receive Preseason All-America recognition. The other five OVC athletes were third team or honorable mention selections.

Lee is coming off a junior season in which he set the MSU record for hits (86), batted .413, belted 17 home runs, and drove in 67 runs. He led the OVC in total bases (159) and ranked in the top five in the OVC in homers, doubles, RBI and runs scored. Lee also earned second team CoSIDA Academic All-America honors.

Lee and his Eagle teammates kick off the 2010 campaign with a four game series at Mercer February 19-21.
