He recently earned a spot on AL.com’s first-ever “Terrific 20” teams (Class 5A) as well.

“As a player, being selected to the ALABCA All-Star Event at Troy is a huge honor, ” West Point baseball coach Drew Bryson said. “It’s an opportunity to showcase your talent in front of a lot of collegiate coaches, as well as compete with some of the best players around the state. As a coach and as a program, we are extremely happy for Aubry and excited he is getting the opportunity to represent not just himself, but our baseball program as well. He’s a hard worker and a great teammate. He’s a guy who has really bought in and invested himself over the last couple of years to make himself into the player he is today. He’s one of our leaders in the program that has performed at a high level the last two seasons for us, and I know he’ll continue to have success. Being selected a second consecutive year is a testament to not only his ability as a player, but his work ethic and his character on and off the field.”
