The Virginia baseball duo of AJ Gracia and Eric Becker were recognized as part of the Atlantic Coast Conference postseason accolades, the league office announced on Monday.
Gracia garnered second team All-ACC honors as an outfielder, while Becker landed on the third team as a shortstop. The 2026 season marks the third time that Gracia has been named to an All-ACC team. Becker was also named to the third team in 2025.
In his first year as a Cavalier, Gracia batted .330 (63-for-191) with 14 home runs and 42 RBIs. The junior led UVA in batting average (.330), slugging percentage (.613), on-base percentage (.469), home runs (14) and total bases (117).
Despite missing 13 games in the heart of the season due to an upper-body injury, Becker batted .321 (53-for-165) with seven home runs and 39 RBIs. The junior led all Cavalier batters with 14 doubles and 16 hit by pitches.
