CHARLESTON, SC -
College of Charleston redshirt-sophomore Daniel Aldrich has been selected as one of 50 players for the USA Baseball Golden Spikes Award Preseason Watch List.
Aldrich was a 2011 semifinalist for the award and one of only six players to be a semifinalist last season and make the Preseason Watch List in 2012.
A native of Mt. Pleasant, S.C., Aldrich was selected as a Preseason First Team All-American by the NCBWA and Collegiate Baseball. He was also named to the Preseason All-SoCon First Team.
