Tuscon, Ariz. - Outfielder Brad McElroy of the Charlotte 49ers has been named a first-team Louisville Slugger pre-season All-American by the Collegiate Newspaper, announced this last week of 2007. Among members of the first-team, McElroy joins a who's-who of players across the nation that are projected to have outstanding years in the 2008 season.

Last year, McElroy hit .401 for the Niners, becoming only the sixth player in team history to eclipse the .400 plateau. He led the Atlantic 10 Conference in hits (97), doubles (26) and RBI (68). He finished in the top 50 players in the nation last year in batting average, RBI, doubles per game and slugging percentage. His season earned him third-team All-America Honors by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association. He was listed on the American Baseball Coaches Association All-South Region Team. He was also a first-team All-Atlantic 10 selection, as well as an A-10 All-Tournament team member.

The Niners set a school record with 49 wins in 2007, winning a pair of NCAA Regional games, the first-ever post-season wins in program history. The 2008 season begins for Charlotte in a completed Robert and Mariam Hayes Stadium on Friday, February 22, when Charlotte hosts Manhattan at 4 p.m.

McElroy is a graduate of both the London Badgers and Southwest London Baseball organizations.
