GREENSBORO, N.C. – Portland Pilots pitcher Brett Gillis continued to rack up the accolades, making the ABCA/Rawlings NCAA Division I All-American Second Team. It's the second All-American team that Gillis has been named to this year, making the Collegiate Baseball News All-American Second Team earlier this month.

Gillis qualified for the All-American team after being named to the ABCA/Rawlings NCAA Division All-Region West First Team earlier this week. All first team All-Region honorees were eligible to make an All-American squad. He was the first Pilot All-Region honoree along with Peter Allegro since 1992.

The right-hander from Everett, Wash. has racked up numerous honors after a stellar season on the mound. Along with his All-American and All-Region honors, Gillis also made the All-WCC First Team and was named the WCC Pitcher of the Year. He was the first Pilot pitcher to earn that honor. He was also twice named the WCC Pitcher of the Week.

Gillis posted incredible numbers this season, finishing with a 9-2 record and a 2.24 ERA. That ERA was good for first in the WCC and 10^th in the nation, and he also had the lowest ERA nationally of any pitcher with at least 80 innings thrown. He was first in the WCC in hits allowed per nine innings (6.51), second in wins, third in strikeouts (115), fourth in strikeouts per nine innings (12.27) and fifth in strikeout-to-walk ratio (3.59). Nationally, he was 20^th in strikeouts, 21^st in wins and 25^th in hits allowed per nine innings.

The 2022 season was one of the best in program history for the Pilots. They finished with a 32-23 record overall and a 17-10 record in WCC play. Their overall record was their best since 2010 and their WCC record was the best in program history. They finished second in the WCC in the regular season – their highest finish ever – and took third at the WCC Tournament in their first ever appearance.
