Auburn's Jake Marciano on midseason All-America team from D1Baseball
Auburn lefthander Jake Marciano earned D1Baseball's Midseason All-American team spot after a hot start to the 2026 season.
Auburn baseball's top arm has earned a spot on D1Baseball's Midseason All-American team . Auburn lefthander Jake Marciano has earned national recognition for his hot start to the 2026 season. In eight starts, Marciano has recorded 64 strikeouts and has issued just seven walks over 48 2/3 innings.
The Virginia Tech transfer is 3-1 and has a 1. 29 ERA. Marciano is the lone SEC player to make D1Baseball's midseason all-america team, but he is one of six players from the conference to earn a nod from the publication.
Texas pitcher Ruger Riojas earns a spot on D1Baseball's first team pitching staff, while Georgia catcher Daniel Jackson, Georgia third baseman Tre Phelps, Texas A&M outfielder Caden Sorrell, and Florida designated hitter Brendan Lawson are all a part of the lineup on D1Baseball's first team. Marciano allowed a run on four hits in last Friday's start against Arkansas at Plainsman Park while striking out eight and walking one. Auburn is slated to start Christian Chatterton in place of the usual midweek starter Andreas Alvarez, so it is expected that Alvarez will once again get a weekend start.
How will that affect Marciano's schedule? The No. 12 Auburn Tigers welcome Kentucky to Plainsman Park for a three-game series beginning Friday, where Marciano will aim to earn another win over an SEC opponent.
