Harding Selected As Collegiate Baseball Freshman All-American
June 07, 2017 | Baseball
Collegiate Baseball Release
PRINCETON, N.J. - David Harding's sparkling freshman season added another honor today as the Collegiate Baseball selected him as freshman All-American, the newspaper announced.
It's Harding's first national honor. The utility player, who saw time in the infield and outfield, was picked second team All-Ivy League for his performance during the 2017 season. He led the team with a .318 batting average, snagging 35 hits, 14 runs scored and 19 RBI. He also slugged .400 and posted an on-base percentage of .364.
The freshman opened the season with a six-game hitting streak including two knocks at Duke (Mar. 4). Harding began Ivy League play with hits in four straight contests. He picked up eight RBI in a double dip at Harvard (Apr. 9), leading to Ivy Rookie of the Week accolades (Apr. 11). Other top conference performances include multi-hit outings vs. Penn (Apr. 15-16) and a season-best four hits vs. Columbia (Apr. 21).
Princeton finished 12-28-1 in 2017, but got major contributions from its freshman class with Harding, Conor Nolan, and Ramzi Haddad on the offensive side along with James Proctor and Eli Kimbell on the pitching staff. Ben Gross will be back as well to lead the pitching staff along with Ryan Smith, who finished with 19 appearances in 2017.
