Saint Leo University junior right-handed pitcher McCabe Sargent, a Land O’ Lakes High School product, has been named to the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association’s preseason NCAA Division II All-South Region second team.
Sargent began 2019 in the bullpen, but emerged as the Friday night starter for the Lions midway through last season. He finished the year with a 3.77 ERA, a 4-5 record and 69 strikeouts in 74 innings pitched. The 6-foot-2, 195-pounder also had five starts in which he hurled seven or more innings, including a streak of four straight late in the year. Sargent is one of six starting pitchers divided between the first and second preseason teams, including one of three Sunshine State Conference starting pitchers.
