FAIRFIELD, Conn. – The busy postseason continues for Fairfield University Baseball graduate Charlie Pagliarini as he was named to the ABCA/Rawlings All-American Third Team, another award for the best offensive season in school history. Pagliarini has also been honored as the ECAC Player of the Year, the NEIBA Player of the Year, an All-Region First Team selection, and a Third-Team All-American pick from Collegiate Baseball Newspaper. He becomes the first All-American selection from the ABCA in program history.
 
"Charlie was a RBI machine this year with power numbers and clutch hitting," Head Coach Bill Currier said. "He also gets overlooked as an excellent third baseman who only made single digit errors on the season."
 
Pagliarini's historic season saw him break six school records including: home runs (24), RBI (97), total bases (177), slugging percentage (.851), on-base percentage (.528), and walks (49).
 
He won the conference's Triple Crown with his .399 batting average to go along with his league-leading home runs and RBI. He shattered the conference's single-season record in RBI that had stood for over a decade, besting the mark by 16.
 
He also ranked towards the top in the country in several of those categories including leading the nation in RBI per game at 1.76, which was the 13th in NCAA history. Overall, his 97 RBI was second in the NCAA behind only Maryland's Nick Lorusso. He was fourth in the country in slugging percentage, seventh in total bases, and ranked eighth in both home runs and slugging percentage.
 
For his success, he has been named a Collegiate Baseball Newspaper All-American Third Team, an All-Region First Team selection, the ECAC Player of the Year, the NEIBA Player of the Year, and of course the MAAC Player of the Year.
 
Pagliarini helped the Stags to their third-straight MAAC Regular Season Championship, becoming the first MAAC program to win three-straight regular season titles outright. Fairfield also won 30 games for the fourth-straight season, winning 34 regular season contests, the most in program history.
