Conine Named Second Team All-ACC

DURHAM, N.C. – Sophomore right fielder Griffin Conine garnered second team All-ACC honors as announced by the league Monday.

A Rawlings/Perfect Game Midseason All-American, Conine collected his first career All-ACC honors after leading the Blue Devils in slugging percentage (.571), on base percentage (.437), RBI (56), triples (2), home runs (13), total bases (117) and walks (40) over the course of the regular season.

Conine is the first Blue Devil to total 50-plus RBI in a season since first baseman Nate Freiman (62) in 2009. He is also the first Duke player with 10 or more home runs in a season since Jake Lemmerman (10) in 2010.

Heading into the ACC Tournament, Conine ranks 10th on Duke's single season RBI list and eighth in home runs.

With Conine's all-league citation, Duke has now placed at least one player on an All-ACC team in six straight seasons for the first time since 1993-99. Conine is also the eighth Blue Devil named All-ACC under head coach Chris Pollard.

The Blue Devils head to Louisville, Ky., this week for the 2017 ACC Baseball Championship. No. 9 seed Duke faces fifth-seeded Clemson at 7 p.m., Tuesday, May 23 before taking on fourth-seeded Virginia at 11 a.m., Thursday, May 25.
