West Virginia University starting pitcher Derek Clark was selected to the D1Baseball All-America Third Team Wednesday afternoon.

Clark produced a team-leading 8-3 record with a 3.23 ERA and 91 strikeouts this past season. He also ranked third in the Big 12 Conference with 97.2 innings pitched which included four complete games, second-most in the country, despite missing the first month of the season.

This honor adds to the list of accolades this season for Clark. He was selected to the All-Big 12 First Team, ABCA All-East Region First Team, NCBWA All-America third team, the Tucson Regional Most Outstanding Player and an ABCA Division I Gold Glove recipient.

Clark becomes the fifth Mountaineer to be named an All-American by D1Baseball, joining first-team selections Alek Manoah (2019) and JJ Wetherholt (2023) and freshman-team honorees Kyle Davis (2015) and Darius Hill (2016).

Overall, Clark is the 27th Mountaineer to be named an All-American, totaling 66 All-America accolades from all publications, 37 of which came in the Randy Mazey era from 2013-24.
