OXFORD, Miss. - The accolades continued to roll in for junior left-hander Drew Pomeranz, as the southpaw was named a first team All-America selection by Collegiate Baseball Magazine on Thursday.

He is the 15th player in Ole Miss history to garner All-America honors with his selection to the All-America team by Collegiate Baseball.

Pomeranz, who was named the Southeastern Conference Pitcher of the Year last week, has been a dominant force for the Rebels this season as he has compiled an 8-2 record in 2010. The southpaw leads the Southeastern Conference in strikeouts (134), opposing batting average (.190) and in ERA (2.21). He also garnered first team All-SEC honors last week, the league office announced prior to the SEC Tournament.

The Rebels advanced to the SEC Tournament for the eighth straight season this year as the sixth-seeded team and defeated No. 7 South Carolina and No. 13 Auburn on the way to the semifinals of the event before falling to eventual tournament champion LSU.

With his seven strikeouts against the Gamecocks in the opening round of the tournament, Pomeranz hit the 339 strikeout mark for his career, taking over the top spot on the career strikeout list at Ole Miss and passing Lance Lynn (332). Pomeranz, who holds 134 strikeouts this year, needs 12 more strikeouts to hit the top spot for strikeouts in a season set by Lynn in 2008.

A preseason All-America selection, Pomeranz was tabbed by Baseball America as the Midseason Player and Pitcher of the Year and is also a semi-finalist for the "That other QB from Arkansas" Howser Award in addition to being named a semifinalist for the Golden Spikes Award.

Last week, the junior was also named the 2010 recipient of the Cellular South Ferriss Award honoring the top collegiate baseball player in Mississippi. The award is named after former Delta State head coach and Boston Red Sox Hall of Famer "Boo" Ferriss.
