Shofi Named USCAA All-American

Alfred State outfielder Thomas Shofi (Carmel) has been named an USCAA 1st team All-American. Shofi is the first Pioneer baseball player to earn 1st team USCAA All-American honors.

Shofi, a sophomore transfer from Adirondack CC, started in 38 games this year for the Pioneers. He led the team with a .402 batting average (51 for 127) and collected at least one hit in 30 games, had 16-multiple hit games, and five three-hit games. 

Shofi collected 18 doubles on the season, a new NCAA DIII era record for Alfred State, two triples, and two homers. He drove in 25 runs, scored 28 times, and stole three bases. He finished the season with a .472 on-base percentage and a .622 slugging percentage.

Shofi had a big day in a doubleheader vs. Albertus Magnus on March 15th. He finished the contests 6 for 7 with 4 RBI. He collected a double, triple, and hit a homer in the doubleheader. In game two versus D'Youville on April 16th he was 3 for 4 with 3 RBI. He collected a double and a homer in the game.

Earlier in the season, Shofi was named the USCAA Player of the Week and just last week he was named the Alfred State Newcomer of the Year.

Shofi joins Jordan Wheaton (2014) as the only two Pioneers to earn All-American honors during the three years Alfred State has competed in the USCAA.
