North Carolina junior right-hander Michael Morin was named to Baseball America’s All-America squad on Friday after setting a Carolina single-season record with 19 saves in 2012. The All-America honor is the fourth of the year for Morin as he also was named All-America by NCBWA, ABCA and Collegiate Baseball.

Morin was named a Third Team All-America by Baseball America as a relief pitcher as the publication selects one relief pitcher per team.

Morin posted a 6-4 mark on the year with an ACC-high 19 saves in 38 appearances for the Tar Heels. The Leawood, Kan., native threw 58 innings on the year and posted a 1.40 ERA, the ninth-lowest mark in school history among pitchers who threw at least 55 innings in a season.
The junior was drafted in the 13th round of the MLB Draft and signed with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Morin was assigned to the Orem Owlz of the Rookie Pioneer League and made his professional debut June 20 with a scoreless inning of relief.
