PASADENA, CA - The SCIAC is proud to announce the 2014 SCIAC Baseball All-Conference Awards.

ATHLETE OF THE YEAR:  Simon Rosenbaum, So. - Pomona-Pitzer

PITCHER OF THE YEAR:  Travis McGee, Sr. – Chapman

NEWCOMER OF THE YEAR:  Tanner Nishioka, Fr. - Pomona-Pitzer

Big ups to the Sophomore Simon Rosenbaum! And Freshman Tanner Nishioka! And everyone else too, I guess  ;)
Here's a link to the PP Baseball write up: http://pomona.prestosports.com/sports/bsb/2013-14/releases/201405086qy7h9

Of note- Rosenbaum is leading the nation (with only a few tournaments being wrapped up) in OBP and Doubles. His .474 BA and .822 Slugging are both ranked 4th nationally.

Of course, tip of the hat to Barzilli who is comfortably leading the country with 17 home runs. I think if he and Whittier hadn't stumbled a little bit at the end the POY award might have been his. Nevertheless, pretty incredible season. Didn't think we'd see another 17 home run season after the bats changed in 2011.

As mentioned Rosenbaum is only a Sophomore. Scary thought. Not to mention that next year he should hopefully be all recovered from his Tommy John and ready to step back into the rotation. Even if he sees an understandable drop in offensive productivity, he has the potential for national awards.
Nishioka is one of the more athletic players you'll see in DIII. It's going to be fun to watch his career continue as well.

Overall a pretty balanced all-conference team by class. The SCIAC will be losing some pretty special seniors like Petersen, Roth, Barzilli, DellaValle, Shiewe, etc. But there were plenty of underclassmen represented too, and next year is going to be really interesting seeing how teams evolve as young players step up to fill the shoes of the graduating seniors. CLU in particular is losing a ton, but they still have a great foundation and always find great players to fill the gaps. 

By the way- glaring omission is Kevin Osaki. Had another phenomenal year coming back from surgery. After reading that article below, would have been nice to see him represented too and not just McGee (who had a ridiculous year, well-deserved Pitcher of the Year). Does anybody know if they plan on using their extra year of eligibility? Maybe delay graduation or take some grad school classes next year? As a fan of good baseball, I hope they stay. As a fan of PP, get them the hell out of here!

Teddy, Nice sum up the SCIAC's year and spotlight on different  players. My own thoughts about unfortunate omissions would include Whittier's Garcia and Oxy's Kling. They shackled CU's bats in the 4 games that we watched. They both moved the ball around like I imagined Whitey Ford once did as to make things uncomfortable for a hitter. By the way, those were some very gracious comments re McGee and Osaki. There were a few bumps (lol the Game at Pomona for one!) along the way but overall the season turned out as they hoped.  As to your question, Both are 5th year seniors and have played their 4 years, so they now move on.

Ah that's right! I forgot they were already 5th years. That's too bad. Nevertheless, it's pretty special that they were able to come back and get another stellar year of baseball. It couldn't have been easy having to watch all last year from the sidelines. Best of luck to them going forward. And fingers crossed that their year isn't done and they can snag a Pool C bid!

Good point on Kling and Garcia. Only issue with Garcia was that going up against so many aces from other teams his W-L wasn't great (4-4 in conference, 5-7 overall) even though he had a strong ERA in the mid 3.00's. Great year for sure though.

D O.C.

Way to go Chapman getting 5 guys on the All-Region teams.

Now, down to business...when is the Underwear Run?

As anticipated, Tall Guy named a 1st Team All-America by d3baseball.com! Rosenbaum was one of just three sophomores to make the first team. Congrats Simon, now get that wing healthy for next year!

Other, very well-deserved, SCIAC All-Americans:
2nd Team Utility: Jake Petersen, SR Cal Lutheran
3rd Team 3B: Julian Barzilli, SR Whittier
Hon. Mention OF: Andrew Carbajal, SO Chapman

I'm sure DellaValle was among the final contenders for a SS spot on the 3rd Team/ Hon. Mention team. He trailed a tad on some of the offensive numbers (which is crazy), but had the edge in the field and on the base paths. Great season regardless.

Congratulations to all!

This is probably about 20 years too late.  Who takes over at CMS?  They can win in plenty of other sports, can they do it in baseball?

Your question was answered today: http://www.d3baseball.com/seasons/2014/contrib/20140909rmdgzj

Thanks, Jim.  Good hire for them as he is familiar with the type of students they will need to recruit.

Jeff received his degree in Broadcast Journalism from Chapman University in Orange, California where he also played baseball all four years and was the starting Designated Hitter on the 2003 D-III National Championship baseball team. Levering also played in summer baseball leagues as a teammate of Red Sox star 2B Dustin Pedroia.   ;D

My prediction for the SCIAC this year is as follows:

1/2 Cal Lu and Pomona, in either order, both make a Regional.
3-9 Everyone else.

My 4 for the SCIAC Tourney

Cal Lu
Pomona
La Verne
Chapman/Oxy

SCIAC/West Region/National Player of the Year- Rosenbaum.

Looks like a good prediction. Chapman will again miss the regional in my opinion. Looks like Chapman lost their DH/C home run hitter Gandy who transferred to a D1 school. Creighton

You never know, in the good old days Chapman used to recruit and find freshmen who could contribute right away....however you may be right.

I still don't get why they are playing ETBU  ::) to start the season ? I know TU/Chapman used to do a home/away and it was TU's turn to go to Cali.

Yeah Gandy played for the Charlestown Cannons last year and the Covington Lumberjacks The summer before that. Word was he was looking to get out of Chapman, and transfer to a D1. Does anybody know if he has to sit out a year. I know there are exceptions, but I do not know if he qualifies.

Gandy is on the active Creighton roster.  In terms of Chapman, what happened to Braden Riddle, maybe a bigger loss than Gandy?
