TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Alabama junior reliever Chase Lee was selected to the CoSIDA Academic All-District IV First Team for baseball, the organization announced Thursday.
The CoSIDA Academic All-America program recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined academic and athletic performances. As a first-team selection, Lee now advances to the CoSIDA Academic All-America ballot. Academic All-America honorees will be voted on from July 6-13 with the winners being announced in late July.
Lee is one of 15 Crimson Tide baseball players to earn all-district recognition and joins Kolby Robinson as the program's second honoree in as many seasons. Prior to Robinson's selection in 2020, Alabama had not had an Academic All-District Team member since 2011. In all, Alabama has had nine players earn Academic All-America honors since 1972, including first-team honorees Dr. Jeff Laubenthal (1993), Lance Cormier (2002) and Emeel Salem (2006, 2007).
