Nine members of the Chestnut Hill College Baseball team have been named to the 2023 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Baseball All-Academic Team in an announcement made by the conference office on Wednesday.

The nine Chestnut Hill players were among 58 players named to the team, representing all 11 schools that play baseball within the conference.  CHC's nine players represented the second highest total among all 11 schools with Jefferson's 11 honorees the only team that had more.

Three repeat winners were among the nine Griffin ballplayers honored.  Redshirt junior RJ Huth earned all-academic team honors for the third time while juniors Greg Ianelli and Aiden Nesemeier were two time recipients. Named to the CACC Baseball all-Academic team for the first time are redshirt sophomores Marlon Rose and AJ Capille along with sophomores Justin Geiger, Colby Seelig, Daniel Talbot  and Chris Urbanik.
