Cougar Tabbed D1Baseball First-Team All-American

HOUSTON – Houston Baseball pitcher Antoine Jean earned his second First-Team All-America honor with D1Baseball.com lauding the left-handed relief pitcher for his sixth All-America recognition of the year.

Jean is Houston's 29th All-American and is the first Cougar since Brad Lincoln in 2006 to earn multiple First-Team All-America honors in the same season. The Montreal, Canada, native is the first Cougar pitcher since 2006 to earn All-America honors from five or more publications in the same season.

The southpaw is one of just two relief pitchers in the country to be named to all six All-America teams (Baseball America, , ABCA, D1Baseball.com, Perfect Game NCBWA and College Baseball Foundation), joined by Arizona's Tony Pluta.

The All-American led the Big 12 in ERA, hits allowed per nine, strikeout-to-walk ratio, strikeouts per nine, and WHIP while finishing second in total strikeouts and sixth in saves.

Jean became the first relief pitcher to win Big 12 Conference Pitcher of the Year in 2025 and was Houston's second 100+ strikeout reliever in program history. The lefty posted 12 scoreless relief appearances and 13 5+ strikeout outings, while his 110 strikeouts were the most by a Cougar since 2018.

In addition to those conference ranks, Jean was second nationally in strikeouts per nine (14.78) and hits allowed per nine (5.37), eighth in WHIP (0.90) 17th in strikeout-to-walk ratio (5.50) 18th in ERA (2.55) and 19th in total strikeouts (110).
