Tyler Chambliss is raking in the honors this season. The Suwannee High graduate of 2003 and ex-Bulldog pitcher has been named to the second team All-ACC. Six FSU players shared ALL-ACC honors with Chambliss. FSU was the only ACC school to receive All-ACC honors for two of its relief pitchers. Only three relief pitchers were selected in total for the All-ACC teams.

“This is awesome,” said Chambliss. “It feels great to be named one of the best players in the league. I want to thank all the coaches that voted for me.”

Chambliss was also up for ACC Pitcher of the Year, was a candidate for the Roger Clemens Award as the nation’s top pitcher and is currently nominated for the NCBWA Stopper of the Year Award. He is second in the NCAA and the ACC leader in saves. He enters the ACC playoffs with 14 saves and is only four saves short of tying the all-time Florida State record of 18 saves in one season.

Chambliss was named national player of the week by the NCBWA on March 1 and also has six wins posted on top of all the saves. Chambliss is a sophomore this year, has appeared in 34 games and allowed earned runs in only eight of those games.

Recently, Chambliss got the “W” for the thriller against the North Carolina Tarheels. Chambliss pitched four innings in a game that went 12. He came in to close and stayed to win. In his four innings, Chambliss gave up no earned runs, one hit, two runs, walked one and struck out three.
