Jacksonville State's Alex Webb has been named to the 2020 Academic All-District Team Baseball Team, selected by CoSIDA, announced by the organization on Thursday.
Webb was selected as the catcher for District 4, which includes Division I schools in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Puerto Rico and South Carolina. The College Sports Information Directors of America recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom.
Honorees selected first-team Academic All-District® will advance to the CoSIDA Academic All-America® ballot. Academic All-America® honorees will be announced from June 8-11.
The Columbia, Tennessee native has excelled in the classroom, while turning in solid numbers on the field during a shortened 2020 season. Webb has accumulated a 3.65 grade point average in his two seasons at JSU and working towards a degree in exercise science and wellness.
In 15 games, Webb produced a .313 batting average with four doubles and two home runs. He finished with 13 RBI. Defensively, he threw out nine runners on the base paths. Webb garnered preseason accolades as an All-Ohio Valley Conference selection in 2019 and was named the 2019 OVC Tournament Most Valuable Player after helping JSU to the regular season and tournament league titles and a berth in the 2019 NCAA Oxford Regional.
Webb was one of five players from Ohio Valley Conference members named to one the district teams. Eastern Kentucky's Jacob Abbott and Nick Howie was tabbed to the District 2 squad, while Tyler Wilber and Justin Dirden of Southeast Missouri was named to the District 6 Team.
