Canadian pitcher collects third All-America selection
HOUSTON – For the third time this week, Houston Baseball pitcher Antoine Jean received All-America honors with a Second-Team All-America selection by ABCA/Rawlings on Friday.
The southpaw is Houston's first pitcher to earn an All-America Second-Team selection or better from ABCA/Rawlings since Ryan Wagner earned First-Team honors in 2003 and the first on any ABCA/Rawlings Team since Trey Cumbie earned was a Third-Team selection in 2017.
Jean is Houston's 29th All-American and is the first Cougar since 2017 to earn All-America honors from multiple organizations.
The All-American led the Big 12 in ERA, hits allowed per nine, strikeout-to-walk ratio, strikeouts per nine, and WHIP while finishing second in total strikeouts and sixth in saves.
The Montreal, Canada native became the first relief pitcher to win Big 12 Conference Pitcher of the Year in 2025 and was Houston's second 100+ strikeout reliever in program history. The lefty posted 12 scoreless relief appearances and 13 5+ strikeout outings, while his 110 strikeouts were the most by a Cougar since 2018.
In addition to those conference ranks, Jean was second nationally in strikeouts per nine (14.78) and hits allowed per nine (5.37), eighth in WHIP (0.90) 17th in strikeout-to-walk ratio (5.50) 18th in ERA (2.55) and 19th in total strikeouts (110).
