Dylan Volantis, Texas’ true freshman lefty pitcher, named a consensus All-American

Volantis is the only freshman named to D1Baseball’s first-team

Thursday’s announcement from D1Baseball cemented Texas Longhorns true freshman Dylan Volantis’ status as a consensus All-American. The left-handed pitcher also received first-team All-American honors from the ABCA/Rawlings, Baseball America and the NCBWA.

From Texas Athletics:

“Volantis notched a 4-1 ledger with a 1.94 ERA and 12 saves over 51 innings. In league play, the 6-foot-6, 212-pound hurler led all pitchers in ERA (1.59), WHIP (0.85), B/AVG (.160) and saves. Volantis’ 11 saves in conference action are the most by an SEC freshman ever, breaking a 22-year-old record held by Ole Miss’ Steven Head. The NCBWA Freshman Pitcher of the Year and SEC Freshman Pitcher of the Year finished tied for 10th nationally in saves.”

Volantis was also named a Freshman All-American by Perfect Game.

Volantis, a native of Thousand Oaks, California, will return to Austin as a sophomore in 2026; there, he will represent the Longhorns as one of college baseball’s top athletes.
