Perfect Game Release
HERO Sports Release

LITTLE ROCK – Former Little Rock Trojan Ryan Scott continues to earn All-American honors two weeks after being drafted by the Boston Red Sox in the seventh round of the MLB Draft. Earlier this week, Scott was named a Third Team All-American by Perfect Game and was also named to HERO Sports D1 Baseball All-America Team.
 
Little Rock's most decorated player in program history has now been named an All-American six different times this postseason, three more than any other former Trojan.
 
In addition to his recent honors, Scott was named an ABCA/Rawlings First Team All-American, a Louisville Slugger First Team All-American, a D1Baseball Third Team All-American and a College Sports Madness Third Team All-American.
 
Scott's historic 2016 season was one for the record books at Little Rock.  He broke Little Rock's single-season records for hits (94), RBIs (66), total bases (154) and batting average (.435), Division I's best. He also broke the program's all-time record for doubles (44).
 
Scott was also named the Sun Belt Conference's Student-Athlete of the Year and took All-Sun Belt First Team honors after leading the conference in seven different offensive categories during the regular season and earned Sun Belt Student-Athlete of the Week on three different occasions.
 
Scott was finalist for the 2016 Gregg Olson Award, presented annually to college baseball's breakout player of the year. He was also in the running for several other national awards as he was named a semifinalist for the Dick Howser Trophy and was placed on USA Baseball's Golden Spikes Award Midseason Watch List in April.
 
Scott was taken by the Boston Red Sox with the 208th overall pick in this year's MLB Draft, the second-highest in program history since 1976.
