Emory Baseball Sees Five Selected to All-UAA Team

Five members of the Emory University baseball team were honored by the University Athletic Association Wednesday afternoon as the league announced its All-Association Team for the 2020 season.

Representing the Eagles on the All-UAA Team were senior Jacob Greene, juniors Michael Edelman, Jack Rubenstein, Caleb Shulman and sophomore Jack Brodsky. Emory ended the shortened schedule with an 11-4 overall record and were ranked 24th in the final edition of the D3Baseball.com national poll released on March 17th.

FULL UAA RELEASE

Greene makes his first career appearance on the All-UAA team after posting a .388 batting average and leading the Eagles with two home runs and 18 RBI in 14 games. Greene ranked 45th nationally in runs driven in and was tabbed to the D3Baseball.com National Team of the Week on March 3rd after recording a pair of 5-RBI games in the series against Covenant. He had seven multi-hit games and drove in at least one run in seven of his final eight games including six straight to end the year.

Edelman was one of three Eagles to start all 15 games in 2020, finishing as the team leader in runs scored, doubles (6), walks (11) and stolen bases (9) as he joins Greene as a first-time All-UAA selection. His 21 runs placed him 12th among Division III leaders while his nine thefts on the bases put him 35th among the nation's best. Edelman tied Greene for second on the team with seven multi-hit games which featured a three-hit performance with two doubles and three RBI against DePauw on February 22nd.

Rubenstein returns to the All-Association Team after registering a .380 average in 15 games (14 starts) with two doubles, one triple, seven RBI and eight stolen bases. His .475 on-base percentage led all Eagles with at least 10 games played while his six hit-by-pitches helped him move into sole possession of first place on the Emory all-time career list. Rubenstein ranked 27th in Division III in getting plunked to go along with six multi-hit efforts. He recorded all six multi-hit games over his final nine contests, highlighted by a five-hit afternoon against Covenant on February 29th.

Shulman enjoyed a breakthrough start to his junior season as he joined Greene and Edelman as everyday players to earn All-UAA honors. Shulman topped the squad in average (.404), hits (21), doubles (6) and fielding percentage (1.000). He recorded at least one hit in 12 of his 15 games played and paced the team with eight multi-hit performances, which featured a career-best three hits and four runs scored in the team's win over Covenant in the series finale on Feb. 29th. Shulman also had four sacrifice flies which put him second among the Division III ranks.

Brodsky rounds out the list of first-time Emory All-UAA selections as he led the Eagles pitching staff in 2020. The second-year hurler made four starts, striking out 28 batters in 24 innings, posting a 3-0 record with a 3.75 earned run average. He began his sophomore season with 11 shutout frames over two starts before surrendering a seventh inning run in a win over DePauw on Feb. 22nd. Brodsky's last appearance on the mound was perhaps his best of the young season as he struck out a career-best 11 batters as he pitched into the eighth inning against Mary Washington on March 6th. His three victories placed him 16th among Division III leaders.
