Aggie baseball player collects preseason All-American honor

New Mexico State University senior shortstop Parker Hipp has been named to the 2013 Louisville Slugger Pre-Season All-American baseball team, selected by Collegiate Baseball newspaper.

Hipp was a third-team selection after hitting .349 with 51 runs scored and 49 RBI last year. He recorded an on-base percentage of .488, a key contributor for an Aggie team that won a share of the Western Athletic Conference championship and earned an NCAA Tournament at-large berth.

Hipp was also named a second-team All-WAC selection.
