Austin Peay State University’s Lyle Miller-Green Picks Up Baseball America All-America Honor

APSU BaseballClarksville, TN – Austin Peay State University (APSU) outfielder Lyle Miller-Green is now 4-for-4 on All-America teams after Baseball America named him a Third Team All-America selection Friday before the start of the College World Series Final.

It is the first time Baseball America has recognized an Austin Peay State University athlete on its All-America teams since it first presented the honors in 1981. In earning his fourth All-America nod, Miller-Green became the second APSU athlete to gain recognition on four different teams, joining Governors’ pitcher Tyler Rogers, who accomplished the feat in 2013.

Earlier this month, Miller-Green was named a First Team All-American by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association and PerfectGame.com. The American Baseball Coaches Association also named him a Second Team All-American. The honors follow the Atlantic Sun Conference recognizing him as its Player of the Year and Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

The Burke, Virginia native rewrote the record books in 2024. He set APSU’s single-season records for home runs (30), RBI (94), and runs scored (94) while batting .393 with a .900 slugging percentage and .533 on-base percentage. He also set the ASUN single-season records for home runs and runs scored.

Yet to release their 2024 All-America teams are D1Baseball.com and the College Baseball Foundation.
