BB: SCIAC: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[CrashDavisD3]

Per Collegiate Baseball January 7, 2011 edition article on DIII Baseball Preview, Pomona rated #17 in their preseason poll returns 7 position player starters along with 4 pitchers including their #1 pitcher David Colvin(10-3 2.82 ERA 105.1 IP) and top hitter Eric Munzer(.415 19 2B 5 HR 45 RBI). I believe Pomona will again win the SCIAC and will be ranked in the top 25 in DIII Baseball. I expect Cal Lu and Redlands to compete for the #2 team in SCIAC followed by middle group of Oxy, CMS, Laverne with Whittier and Cal Tech at the bottom..Any different opinions. SCIAC wannabe Chapman has 15 games this year with SCIAC teams also.

Here is a look at Pomona's 2010 stats

Nice outlook on the upcoming season CA and Crash. Although I havent posted in a very long time, I do still catch up with D3 baseball (SCIAC) mostly. Happy new years folks

[PP 4 MTaF]

I agree with PP winning SCIAC.  Although PP lost two big players in Brunswick and Kang, Colvin is going to be lights out in 2011.  I hear he pitched in the Cape this summer and his numbers were very impressive, I expect that he will do the same with SCIAC hitters this year.  Look for Munzer to have another solid year, among the best numbers a freshman has put up in SCIAC in a handful of years, and Frederick should provide a nice middle of the order bat. Redlands will manage to be competitive as will Cal-Lu, but expect to see PP celebrating.

Early season match up on Feb. 10th Pomona Pitzer hosts SCIAC applicant Chapman. Both teams were in last years 2010 West Regional and both teams are expected to have strong teams in 2011. PP lead by their #1 Colvin and Chapman with their #1 Rauh. It would great to see them face off in this game..

Hey Guys,
Its been awhile since I have posted. I was wondering about Indy Ball. My son played at the Division 3 level and was all region player 3 times and an all conference player as well. He had very good college stats.....averaging a .350-.380 BA every year with alot of RBIs and 4-5 Home Runs. I know its a tough answer since you prob havent seen him play but do you think he has a shot at playing Indy ball? Whats the level like at Indy ball....does an above average college D3 Player have a chance to excel there? He is been trying to contact teams via email but they seem to invite him to tryouts....are these tryouts worth it? Hope someone knows more than me!

Thanks

What do you want us to say? You have posted this question on almost EVERY thread in the last two weeks. I have already answered the question for you. Show up at a tryout and see how good you(or your son) are. If you can play, they will sign you.

I agree with BigP.  Certain teams will have certain needs they are looking to fill and your son could fit one of those needs.  If he wants to play indy ball, his best shot is to keep on going to these tryouts and taking advantage of these opportunities and contacting coaches, etc.
