Seventeen members of the Kansas baseball team earned Academic all-Big 12 honors this season, the Big 12 Conference announced Wednesday.
That number marks a program best, surpassing the previous high of 15 academic honorees from a season ago.
Thirteen of the 17 Jayhawks named to the team earned first-team honors, which requires a grade-point average of 3.2 or higher. The other four earned second-team honors with a GPA between 3.0 and 3.19.
