GREENSBORO, N.C. –
Eddison Esquivel, a freshman designated hitter on the University of San Francisco baseball team, was named to the 2025 ABCA/Rawlings All-West Region Second Team, one of only two first-year players to earn the honor.
In his first collegiate season on the Hilltop, Esquivel shined as he recorded a .313 batting average, ranking third-best on the team and second among all WCC freshmen. He also finished the campaign with 51 hits, 13 doubles, 48 RBI, a .621 slugging percentage, a .379 on-base percentage, and tied for first for the program lead in home runs with 12.
He also earned three Rawlings West Coast Conference Freshman of the Week honors, the most of any first-year player in the WCC, and was named to the WCC All-Freshman Team, becoming the fifth player on the team in as many years to earn a place on the prestigious list.
The teams are voted on by members of the American Baseball Coaches Association and the process is led by the ABCA NCAA Div. I All-America & Coach of the Year Committee.
The Chair of the ABCA NCAA Div. I All-America & Coach of the Year Committee is Brian Green of Wichita State University. The committee also includes Mitch Canham (Oregon State University), Chris Curry (University of Arkansas at Little Rock), Dean Ehehalt (Monmouth University), Jeff Mercer (Indiana University), Brian O'Connor (Mississippi State University), Jim Penders (University of Connecticut), and Butch Thompson (Auburn University).
The ABCA All-America team was first recognized in 1949 and now includes nine divisions: NCAA Divisions I, II and III, NAIA, NJCAA Divisions I, II and III, Pacific Association Division, and high school. ABCA/Rawlings Gold Glove teams were first recognized in 2007.
