Tommy Harrison earns ABCA All‑America Third Team honors, sets new RBI record

The Miami outfielder’s breakout 2026 season culminates in multiple accolades and a historic performance for the program

Tommy Harrison, a standout outfielder for the University of Miami, was selected to the American Baseball Coaches Association’s All‑America Third Team for the 2026 season, a distinction that underscores his exceptional performance on the collegiate diamond.

A season of milestones

The honor marks the second time Harrison has earned All‑America status and represents the first time a Miami position player has been recognized since 2004, highlighting the rarity of his achievement within the program’s history.

During the 2026 campaign Harrison dominated the Mid‑Atlantic Conference, topping the league in home runs (17), on‑base plus slugging (1.205), runs produced (85) and slugging percentage (.698), numbers that helped him shatter the school’s single‑season RBI record.

His impact extended beyond the box score; he was named MAC Player of the Year and secured a place on the First Team All‑MAC, while also being selected three times as MAC Player of the Week, reflecting his consistent excellence.

In the final week of the regular season Harrison delivered four home runs and 13 RBIs, propelling the Hurricanes to the No. 1 seed in the MAC Tournament and cementing his role as a pivotal catalyst for the team’s success.

Defensively, he posted 51 putouts in right field with a fielding percentage of .988, while his overall line included 150 total bases, 83 hits, 58 runs, 16 doubles, 17 home runs and four stolen bases, painting a picture of a well‑rounded contributor.

The ABCA All‑America & Coach of the Year committee, chaired by Brian Green, oversees the selection process that determines the NCAA Division I All‑America teams, adding institutional weight to Harrison’s accolade.

Beyond individual statistics, Harrison’s performance has sparked excitement among teammates, coaches and fans alike, illustrating how a single player can influence a program’s trajectory and generate momentum for future campaigns.
