HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Southern Miss junior right-hander Tanner Hall (Zachary, La.) earned his second preseason All-American honor Thursday morning by media outlet Perfect Game.
Hall, a consensus All-American from last spring, earned first-team preseason honors by Perfect Game after posting a 9-3 record with a 2.81 earned run average, 146 strikeouts and only 14 walks as he led the Golden Eagles to an NCAA Super Regional and a 47-19 record. The 2022 Conference USA Pitcher of the Year ranked No. 3 nationally in strikeout-to-walk ratio (10.43), No. 4 in strikeouts and No. 11 in walks per nine innings (1.16).
His other awards during the year included being named a national semifinalist for both the Dick Howser Trophy and Golden Spikes Award, as well as winning the Ferriss Trophy for top collegiate baseball player in the state of Mississippi. In addition, Hall captured two C-USA Pitcher of the Week awards.
Hall also became the first Golden Eagle to compete in an international tournament for USA Baseball since Tony Phillips was part of the USA National Team for the 1991 Pan American Games in Cuba. In his only appearance in Honkbalweek Haarlem in the The Netherlands, Hall started and threw four scoreless innings versus Cuba, allowing three hits and two walks with seven strikeouts to garner a win in the 2-0 triumph.
Hall, along with Golden Eagle first baseman Christopher Sargent, were preseason All-America picks by Collegiate Baseball last month.
The Golden Eagles open the 2023 season Friday, Feb. 17, when they entertain Liberty at Pete Taylor Park in a 4 p.m. contest.
