The SEC has released its preseason All-SEC team and two Tigers are included:
Pitcher Kaylee Carlson is coming off a monster 2017 season that included a program-record 27 wins and 1.36 ERA, the second-lowest in school history. The Garden Grove, Calif. product earned All-SEC First Team and Defensive Team honors and was a Third Team NFCA All-American selection. Carlson hurled 21 complete games in 2017, good for fourth in school history and was part of eight shutouts, including six solo efforts.
Outfielder Alyssa Rivera, a native of Eagle Lake, Fla., was named to both the All-SEC Second Team and All-SEC Freshman team after an impressive freshman season that included a team-leading .371 batting average with 28 RBI. Appearing in 51 games, the outfielder was the only freshman in the SEC to record at least 20 hits in league play and held a .396 on-base percentage in SEC-only games.
