Six Virginia Baseball Players Land On All-ACC Teams

The Cavalier duo of Henry Godbout and Henry Ford landed second-team honors while Jacob Ference, Eric Becker and Aidan Teel appeared on the third team with Tomas Valincius garnering Freshman All-ACC honors.

Second Team All-ACC

Henry Godbout, 2B – One of the four Cavaliers to start in every game, Godbout batted .317 (59-for-186) with 10 doubles, eight home runs and 37 RBIs on the season. The junior was also statistically the third hardest batter to strike out in the league. Defensively, Godbout ranked 12th in the conference with 119 assists.

Henry Ford, OF – After a prolific freshman campaign, Ford batted .356 (72-for-202) to rank 10th in the conference during 2025. The sophomore also tallied the eighth-most hits (132) in the league. His 10 home runs and 42 RBIs placed second on the team while moving from first base to right field.

Third Team All-ACC

Jacob Ference, C – The backstop for the Cavaliers batted .331 (40-for-121) with nine home runs and 29 RBIs. To coincide with Virginia’s late-season surge, seven of Ference’s nine home runs have come in the 26 games since the start of the Stanford series on March 27. Ference ended the season as the team leader in Slugging Percentage (.603) and On-base Percentage (.467). He is the UVA catcher since the 1990 and 1991 seasons with All-ACC honors in back-to-back seasons.

Eric Becker, SS – While starting all 49 games at shortstop for the Cavaliers, Becker has enjoyed a career year in leading Virginia in batting average (.357), runs scored (52), RBIs (48), doubles (21) and total bases (117). The shortstop’s batting average of .357 ranks the sophomore eighth in the league while his doubles (21) place him third among all ACC hitters.

Aidan Teel, OF – Teel has proven to be the spark plug to Virginia’s mid-season renaissance as the Cavaliers are 22-6 with the outfielder batting leadoff. On the season, Teel batted .321 (59-for-184) with 20 doubles, seven home runs and 40 RBIs. Teel’s 20 doubles ranked third in the ACC.

All-Freshman Team

Tomas Valincius, P – The hard-throwing lefthander dazzled in his first year in a Cavaliers uniform by going 6-1 with a 4.59 ERA and 70 strikeouts in 64.2 innings pitched during 13 appearances. Valincius ranks in the top 10 in the ACC in strikeout-to-walk ratio (4.12 – 4th) and walk-per-nine-innings (2.37 – 6th).
