Southern Indiana Mud Hens prospect and Georgia Tech University shortstop Derek Dietrich has been named the inaugural Pro-Line Athletic National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association's Freshman Hitter recipient, as announced by the organization Tuesday.
Dietrich, a 6-1 shortstop, led the Yellow Jackets with 66 RBIs, while hitting .332 with 14 home runs and 16 doubles in his first season at Georgia Tech. The Parma, Ohio native started every game at shortstop in 2008 and made one appearance off the mound in relief. He was named the All-ACC second team shortstop after concluding the regular season ranked in the top-10 in the league in home runs, RBI and total bases and led all freshmen in the conference in the three categories.
Dietrich helped lead Georgia Tech to a 41-21 record and an appearance in the NCAA Athens Regional.
