The infielder was named a Second Team Freshman All-America selection
LUBBOCK, Texas – Fresh off a strong freshman campaign that saw him hit 10 home runs and drive in 49 runs, Texas Tech freshman TJ Pompey was named a Freshman All-American by the NCBWA, Monday.
Â
A native of Coppell, Pompey shined in his first seasons donning the Scarlett and Black, as the infielder hit .279 with 11 doubles, a pair of triples and the aforementioned 10 home runs. Pompey slugged .516 for the season and stole 12 bases.
Â
Pompey made an immediate impact for Texas Tech as the freshman drove in a pair in his first college game against then ranked No. 9 Tennessee. The three-bagger was one of the 23 extra-base hits he would collect in 2024, while the RBIs were two of the five he would drive in over the season's first five games.
Â
The freshman ended his first season in Lubbock by recording 15 multi-RBI games including a career-best five in the Red Raiders historic 21-3 win over ACU where Pompey supplied two of the program-record nine longballs the Red Raiders hit. In the win over the Wildcats, Pompey went 3-for-5 with the two home runs, four runs scored and five runs driven in.
Â
The infielder finished the season third on the 2024 Red Raider squad in RBIs and fourth in home runs.
