HOUSTON — The hardware accumulation continues for Jake Adams.

After being unanimously selected as the Big Ten Conference’s player of the year and a first-team all-conference selection, the Iowa first baseman was named a second-team All-American by Collegiate Baseball on Thursday.

Adams is the 17th All-American in Iowa baseball history, earning the highest program honor since Brad Carlson was a second-team All-American by Baseball America in 1999.

Adams is tied for the NCAA lead with 27 home runs in his first season, while ranking first in home runs per game (.47), third in total bases (174), fourth in slugging percentage (.747) and seventh in RBIs (70).
