The left-hander captured the pitching triple crown this season, leading all ACC qualified pitchers in wins (11), ERA (2.42) and strikeouts (138). The Chatham, Illinois, native has struck out at least 10 in eight starts and has twice taken a no-hitter into the eighth inning.

The freshman had just two hits through his first 19 at-bats with the Cardinals before a 2-for-4 game against Ole Miss on March 13 that featured his first career home run. From then on, Binelas has been a terror at the plate and enters the 2019 ACC Championship with a .327 average, 13 home runs and 52 RBIs. Binelas is the first Louisville freshman to reach double digits in homers since Chris Dominguez did it as a redshirt-freshman in 2007.McAvene has turned in a breakout campaign of his own in 2019 working as the Cardinals' closer. The junior had a 4.55 career ERA through his first two seasons in Louisville, but is 2-0 this year with a 1.98 ERA and six saves. The right-hander has pitched 27.1 innings in his 18 appearances, striking out 39 versus just seven walks.For Wyatt, it's the second All-ACC selection of his career after picking up first team laurels in 2018. The Louisville native has anchored the middle of the Cardinals' lineup all season long, hitting .309 with 50 RBIs and a career-high nine home runs. The junior leads the Cardinals with a .481 on-base percentage behind 63 walks through 56 games. The 63 free passes match his total from a season ago and are tied for the third-most in program history.Fitzgerald has seen his offense steadily improve since he stepped on campus and it has culminated in an outstanding junior season. The Rochester, Illinois, native leads UofL with a .338 batting average, 73 hits, 60 RBIs and 113 total bases, all of which are career highs while starting the first 53 games at shortstop. Fitzgerald also has a career-best seven homers on the year and his RBI total led all ACC shortstops. The junior is a semifinalist for the 2019 Brooks Wallace Award, which honors the nation's top shortstop.Lavey has been the Swiss Army knife on the infield for the Cardinals, starting at three different positions this season. The junior has played nearly flawless defense with just one error to his name in 169 chances. At the plate, Lavey is hitting .281 for the season, but ranks ninth in the ACC with a .347 batting average in conference games.
