Sean Yamaguchi earns second Freshman All-America honor

RENO, Nev. - Sean Yamaguchi claimed his second Freshman All-America honor Tuesday as he was recognized on Perfect Game's Second Team.

The recognition comes a day after he became Nevada's 14th all-time Freshman All-American when he was honored by the NCBWA.

In 2025, Yamaguchi became the third Nevada player to be named Mountain West Freshman of the Year, joining Bobby Zamora (2018) and Cal Stevenson (2015). He tied the conference's 20-year-old freshman record for home runs in MW-only games (10), and for the overall season batted .324 while sharing the team leads in home runs (13) and RBIs (50), with 13 doubles, 51 runs scored and 18 walks. Yamaguchi also slugged a team-best .568 and paced the Wolf Pack with 126 total bases.

Yamaguchi captured Mountain West Freshman of the Week honors a conference-best four times, but his numbers ranked among the conference's best regardless of class. Over the Mountain West regular season he hit 10 homers, tying for third overall, and ranked sixth in RBIs (33) and eighth in total bases (77) while batting .330 with eight doubles.

Some of Yamaguchi's hottest stretches came during conference play. He put together a nine-game hitting streak from April 6-22 over which he batted .457 with three homers, nine RBIs, and 16 runs scored, then bettered that over an eight-game streak where he hit four homers, drove in 12 runs, scored 12 more, and batted .471.

Nevada captured the program's fourth Mountain West regular season title in 2025, going 34-23 overall and topping the standings with a 19-11 mark in conference play.
