Cam Walty’s prolific offseason continued Wednesday when the Arizona right-hander was named a third-team All-American by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association.
Walty became the first UA pitcher to earn All-America recognition since Vince Vannelle in 2021 and the first starting pitcher to be so honored since Nathan Bannister in ’16.
Earlier this week, Walty earned second-team West All-Region honors from the American Baseball Coaches Association and was an Academic All-District selection.
After starting the season in the bullpen, Walty emerged as an indispensable third starter for the Wildcats. The senior tied for the Pac-12 lead with eight wins, and his 3.29 ERA was the third best mark in the league.
Walty yielded just 13 walks in 90⅓ innings, and his 1.30 BB/9 rate ranks sixth nationally and third best in UA program history.
Walty worked eight-plus innings in Arizona’s comeback wins to secure the Pac-12 regular-season and tournament titles.
Arizona went 11-3 with Walty as the starting pitcher. He made the All-Pac-12 team alongside fellow weekend starters Clark Candiotti and Jackson Kent.
