Carrier Named First Team All-America by NCBWA

PITTSBURGH – Pitt outfielder Lorenzo Carrier was named a First Team All-American by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers of America on Wednesday.

Carrier is Pitt's first First Team All-American since 2009. He is the Panthers' second All-America selection in the last three years.

The redshirt senior had one of the best all-around seasons in program history at the plate in 2026. Carrier, who played and started in all of Pitt's 57 games, hit .387 with 77 hits, 69 RBI, 67 runs scored, 57 walks, 20 home runs and 15 doubles while slugging .784.

He became just the third player in program history to hit 20-plus home runs in a single season. His 20 home runs were the most by a Panther since 2009. Chris Sedon, who was Pitt's last First Team All-American seventeen years ago, set the single-season program record for home runs with 22 that year.

Carrier pioneered a Pitt offense that was among the best in the nation. The Panthers set program records for home runs (109) and walks (397) while having their most hits (577), RBI (452) and runs scored (498) in a season since 2013.

The Bear, DE native has also earned Perfect Game All-America honors, ABCA/Rawlings First Team All-Region honors, First Team All-ACC honors, and was named by the NCBWA as the District 1 Co-Player of the Year.

Carrier leapt into the national eye with a month of March where he batted .500 with 28 hits, 28 runs scored, 33 RBI, 11 home runs and 25 walks while slugging 1.196 in 56 at-bats.

As for his work off the field, Carrier is very involved in the classroom and in the community and was named as one of the nine finalists for the 2026 Tony Gwynn Community Service Trophy.

Academically, Lorenzo has earned College Sports Communicators Academic All-District, Academic All-ACC and ACC Academic Honor Roll honors throughout his career.
