NORMAN — University of Oklahoma infielder Peyton Graham was selected to the Preseason All-Big 12 baseball team, the conference office announced Wednesday. The team was selected in a vote by the league's head coaches, who could not vote for their own players.
Ā 
Graham, a third-year sophomore from Waxahachie, Texas, was a second-team All-Big 12 selection last spring, his first full collegiate season. As the Sooners' third baseball and leadoff hitter last year, Graham batted .288 with 11 home runs, 11 doubles, 28 RBIs and 47 runs scored in 53 games. He also drew 30 walks and tied for the team lead with seven stolen bases. He had multiple hits in 16 games and multiple RBIs in five contests.

In 71 games over the last two years, Graham compiled a .305 batting average, .414 OBP, .528 slugging percentage, 14 home runs, 19 doubles and 38 RBIs. He has also totaled 86 hits, scored 66 runs, drawn 42 walks and nabbed 15 steals. He earned freshman All-America honors from Collegiate Baseball after the COVID-shortened 2020 campaign.
Ā 
The Sooners open the 2022 season Feb. 18-20 at the State Farm College Baseball Classic at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, where they will face Auburn, Arizona and Michigan.
