Jones Named NCBWA All-America

WILMINGTON, N.C. – Former UNCW standout Greg Jones, now with the Tampa Bay Rays organization, was named All-America by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association.

Jones, a third-team selection, continued his impressive awards haul having been named Colonial Athletic Association Player of the Year, CAA Championship Most Outstanding Player, All-CAA First team and was named first-team All-State by the North Carolina Collegiate Sports Information Association earlier this month.

In 2019, Jones, who joins 25 former Seahawks to earn All-America honors, led UNCW with a .341 batting average, 543 slugging percentage and a .491 on base average while tying a school record with 42 stolen bases. His 70 runs scored led the CAA and ranks him among UNCW's single-season top-10 leaders.

The Cary, N.C., native became UNCW's highest draft pick in the program's history when the Tampa Bay Rays selected him with the 22nd pick overall.
