Three North Carolina standouts were recognized among the nation’s best this week.
Junior pitcher Jason DeCaro, freshman reliever Caden Glauber, and outfielder Owen Hull were all selected to D1Baseball’s All-American team, honoring their dominant 2026 seasons. This comes off the heels of a largely successful season that saw the Tar Heels finish with a 54-14-1 record and a national runner-up finish.
Below is a short summary of what each player did.
In 19 appearances on the mound, DeCaro showed why he was UNC’s ace throughout the season.. The right-hander went 11–3 with a 2.87 ERA over 97.1 innings pitched, piling up 99 strikeouts against 42 walks.
He was tough to square up all season, posting a 1.30 WHIP while consistently working deep into games and setting the tone for the Tar Heels’ weekend rotation.
If DeCaro was the workhorse, Glauber was the shutdown ace. Appearing in 30 games, Glauber put together a perfect 12–0 record with a sparkling 2.05 ERA across 92 innings.
He was one of the most overpowering pitchers in the country, recording a season-high 114 strikeouts against 42 walks and finishing with a 1.11 WHIP. His ability to miss bats in big moments made him a go-to option whenever UNC needed a critical out.
On the offensive side, Hull was the centerpiece of a potent Tar Heel lineup. He posted an eye-popping .393/.500/.615 slash line, showcasing elite contact, plate discipline, and power.
Hull led the charge with 27 doubles, two triples, and nine home runs, while driving in a team-high 87 RBI. He was also a major threat on the bases, swiping 18 bags, the second-most on the team behind Jake Schaffner’s 27 steals.
