[Baseball] White Named NAIA Preseason All-American

Doane Baseball first baseman Lukas White (JR/Castaic, Calif.) has been named to the 2021-22 NAIA Preseason All-America team. The list was selected by the NAIA Baseball Coaches Association All-American committee and consisted of 17 players.

White was a First Team All-GPAC selection at first base last year as well as a GPAC Gold Glove recipient. He led the team with a .419 batting average with 20 doubles, 12 home runs, and 49 runs driven in last season. Defensively, he posted a .994 fielding percentage in 348 opportunities.

Doane is coming off a trip to the NAIA National Championships Opening Round and a share of the GPAC regular season crown. The NAIA preseason rankings were released in early November with the Tigers receiving votes in the national poll. It marked the first time since 2015 that Doane was receiving votes for the rankings.
