Six Auburn baseball players earn end of season All-SEC honors

After a much improved 17-13 season in Southeastern Conference play, a handful of Auburn baseball players earned individual honors from the SEC in its annual end of season awards.

Six Tigers made it on at least one of the All-SEC teams, and Chris Rembert was the only one to make it on two (freshman and second team).

Ike Irish was the lone Auburn player selected to the All-SEC First Team, earning the nod after batting .354, hitting 16 home runs and adding 52 RBI. It’s the second time Irish has been named to the first team, becoming the first Auburn player to do so since current associate head coach Gabe Gross in 2000-01.

As mentioned earlier, Rembert made both the second team and the SEC All-Freshman team, leading Auburn in batting average (.355) and blasting 10 home runs in his first season on the Plains. He’s the first Auburn player to make an All-SEC first or second team since Hunter Morris in 2018.

Starting pitcher Sam Dutton joined Rembert on the second team after putting together an impressive season as Auburn’s ace. He finished the regular season with a 3.58 ERA, striking out 89 batters in 75 and one third innings pitched.

Freshman catcher Chase Fralick was the second Tiger picked to the All-Freshman team, thriving in his role as Auburn’s everyday catcher. He finished the regular season third on the team in batting average (.344) and hit four home runs while driving in 39 RBI.

Bub Terrell also joined Fralick and Rembert on the All-Freshman team, batting .287 with five home runs and 33 RBI during the regular season.

Third baseman Eric Guevara was the lone Auburn inclusion on the SEC All-Defensive team, committing just two errors in 62 chances.

Auburn will begin the postseason Wednesday night, facing the winner of Texas A&M and Mississippi State in the second round of the SEC tournament. First pitch from Hoover Metropolitan Stadium will be 30 minutes after the conclusion of the 4:30 p.m. game. The game will be televised on SEC Network.
