ABCA/Rawlings All-Region First Team selections are nominated for ABCA/Rawlings All-America honors. The ABCA/Rawlings NCAA Div. I All-America Teams will be announced this Friday prior to the start of the 2022 NCAA Div. I College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.

He made a team-high 13 starts for the Bulldogs who went 36-23 and advanced to the NCAA Chapel Hill (N.C.) Regional. In 78.1 innings, he tallied 68 strikeouts and 12 walks. In SEC action, Cannon went 6-2 to help the Bulldogs to a 15-15 mark, good for second place in the Eastern Division. He ranks among the top prospects for the 2022 MLB Draft (July 17-19).
