Having been named a Third Team All-American by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper earlier this offseason, junior first baseman Sam Kulasingam has added yet another preseason accolade to his list of accomplishments.
On Thursday, Kulasingam was named a Third Team Preseason All-American by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association. The North Carolina native certainly made an impression a season ago, as he was among the nation's most prolific hitters as a sophomore.
Kulasingam, who enters 2023 as the reigning Mountain West Player of the Year, was the first Air Force player to receive the honor in program history. Kulasingam's 109 hits in 2022 were the most-ever by an Air Force player in a single season, as were his games played (61) and at-bats (265). Kulasingam also produced the second-most doubles (26) in a single season in the history of Air Force baseball. His .411 batting average led the Mountain West Conference, and was second in the Division I only to Georgia Tech's Chandler Simpson. The C2C's 181 total bases were also a program record, and seventh-most in Division I.
Kulasingam, a vital piece of Air Force's historic 2022 season, will aim to defend the Falcons first-ever Mountain West crown as Air Force travels to Cleburne, TX to play Army to open the 2023 season.
