IRVING, Texas (May 20, 2024) – The University of South Florida’s Bobby Boser (Wesley Chapel) and Ben Rozenblum (Coral Springs) have been named to the American Athletic Conference (AAC) All-Conference Baseball Team, the league announced on Monday. Both players were named to the First Team.
Boser earns First Team honors for the second straight season while Rozenblum is named First Team for the first time in his career.
Boser led South Florida with 12 home runs in 2024 despite missing 22 games due to a broken hamate bone. He had seven home runs over the first 13 games of the season and hit five over the final 11 games. Boser was named the NCBWA National Hitter of the Week on March 12 two days after suffering the injury. The week prior he batted .476, slugged 1.381 and posted a .500 OBP. Boser recorded two doubles, one triple, five home runs, 16 RBI and 11 runs over five games that week. He also recorded the first cycle by a Bull since 2004.
Boser finished his junior campaign with a .299 batting average, 18 extra-base hits, 28 runs scored, 32 RBI and six stolen bases. He ranks eighth all-time in program history with 31 home runs in 402 at-bats over 127 career games.
Rozenblum had a career season at the plate in his final year of eligibility. He batted .295 and posted career highs in hits (56), doubles (9), triples (2), home runs (8), RBI (32) and runs (41). He was tied for second on the team in home runs, ranked second in runs scored and tied for third in RBI. Rozenblum’s 19 stolen bases were also a new career high which ranked third in the conference and were the most by a Bull since 2017.
