NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Juniors Carter Holton and Jonathan Vastine were named to the 2024 Preseason All-SEC second team Thursday as announced by the conference office.
Holton, who also earned preseason honors from the SEC as a sophomore in 2023, owned a 4-1 record over 11 starts last season before battling an injury down the stretch. Holton was a unanimous freshman All-American in 2022 and earned SEC All-Freshman honors along with an ABCA/Rawlings Southeast All-Region nod.
Jonathan Vastine hit .287 last season and started all 62 games for the Commodores. Vastine was one of the top defensive talents nationally at shortstop, making just six errors all season. He led the team in doubles with 18 and his two triples was tied for most on the squad in 2023.
The Commodores were picked third in the Eastern Division in the 2024 SEC Preseason Coaches Poll.
Vanderbilt, ranked No. 6 in the D1Baseball preseason poll, begins the 2024 campaign with a three-game home series against Florida Atlantic on Feb. 16-18.
