Greensboro, NC – For the second straight season,
Caleb Lang has been named an ABCA/Rawlings All-American. He improved upon last year's mark though, and made it on to the First-Team after landing a Second-Team spot in 2014.
Lang achieved the mark after making ABCA/Rawlings First Team All-Mid-Atlantic Region just a few days ago. Lang is also the only representative from the CSAC on this year's All-American team. Additionally, he is one of only four representatives from the state of Pennsylvania.
