This is the 21st consecutive season ASU has had at least two representatives on Pac-12 All-Academic teams. To be eligible for selection to the academic team, a student-athlete must have a minimum 3.0 cumulative grade point average, be either a starter or significant contributor, and have one full year in residence at their institution.
Twenty-three baseball student-athletes have earned all-academic honors in the past three seasons.
Lingos, a junior Finance major, picked up his second-straight first-team honor and Hingst, a junior Business Law major, earned his second-straight second-team honor. Lingos led the Devils with a 3.6 grade point average this year, and is alongside Hingst and Higgins in the W.P. Carey School of Business, one of the top business schools in the country.
Cerbo, who graduated this past May with a bachelor's of science in criminal justice and criminology, earned honorable mention for the first time in his career. This is also the first season the graduate was eligible for the award.
Higgins rounds out the selections, joining Cerbo as a first time honoree. The sophomore picked up a honorable mention as he is working toward his degree in sports and media.
