DURHAM – Three Blue Devils earned Preseason All-America status from the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association on Tuesday, as junior right-handed pitcher Fran Oschell III (1st), sophomore left-handed pitcher James Tallon (1st) and sophomore left-handed pitcher Andrew Healy (3rd) all landed on teams.
Oschell III, a 6-foot-7 right-handed pitcher, was a member of the 2023 USA Baseball Collegiate National Team and was named an All-American by Perfect Game (2nd team), Baseball America (3rd team) and D1Baseball (3rd team). The Phoenixville, Pa., native posted a perfect 6-0 record out of the bullpen for the Blue Devils in his 22 appearances. He finished the year with a 0.69 ERA, allowing just three earned runs to score. Oshell III concluded the 2023 campaign with 66 strikeouts and held opponents to a .133 average at the plate.
Tallon, a 6-foot-5 left-handed pitcher, became the seventh player in program history to be named to the All-ACC freshman team and was a consensus All-American. He broke the single season saves record with 12 in his 33 innings of work. The Arlington, Va., native held opponents to a .185 batting average against and struck out 54 batters during his rookie campaign. Tallon was named a Stopper of the Year finalist last season as a freshman.
Healy, a 6-foot-6 left-handed pitcher, is a draft eligible sophomore for the Blue Devils in 2024. In his rookie campaign, Healy generated a 2.32 ERA on the mound with 45 punchouts and seven walks allowed. He finished the 2023 season with a 5-1 record in 11 starts, working 42.2 innings. Healy was tabbed the Dick Howser Pitcher of the Month for April after tallying a 5-0 record and a perfect 0.00 ERA. He was named a Perfect Game Freshman first team All-American, a NCBWA Freshman All-American and a Collegiate Baseball Freshman All-American.
