Caden O'Brien was named to the Collegiate Baseball Preseason All-American third team on Monday. The left-handed pitcher from Maiden, N.C., served a key role for the Tar Heels in 2018, entering primarily out of the bullpen in his 48 innings of work. Baffling offenses throughout the season with his unique delivery, O'Brien held opposing batters to a .185 average. (GoHeels.com)
