BB: Candidates for All-American Teams

[Mr. Ypsi]

Thanks Hammer Ball!

+1! 

(I thought that I remembered that someone was drafted as a favor to someone else, deep in the draft.)

In the 2007 draft, the White Sox drafted Guillen Oney (son of Ozzie Guillen) from North Park, even though Oney did not even play in 2007 (and batted under .300 in 2006)!  Might that be who you were thinking of?

Here's a link to Oney's career stats at North Park.

WOW!  I just went by the discussion on CCIW baseball.  If I were Oney, a pick that was THAT blatantly just a favor would be more an insult (pity ) than an honor.

pre-season all american list comes out tomarrow and im looking foward to seeing the south region players that are represented. I expect to see Bailey (cnu) Delvin (LC) and Moore (ncwc) at least represented, and it would be a mistake if all 3 are not atleast on the Honorable Mention team, espeically the VA boys.  Good luck to those three and i hope  and will see if d3baseball really has a honorable pre season all american list

[Gramps]

Just thought that I'd throw my two cents worth and mention two players from up north, the Mid-East Region, who had outstanding seasons last year.  They both played for Heidelberg in the OAC.  Jeremy Wentworth, Sr. OF, .420 AVG., 3rd team All American, 1st team Mid-East Regiion, 1st team OAC, OAC  tournament team.  Jason Lash, Soph. SS, .425 AVG. 2 time OAC Hitter of the Week, 1st team Mid-East Region, Mid-East tournament team, 1st team OAC.

[Jim Dixon]

With some teams already half way through the schedule, it is time to think about potential All Americans. 

You might have to hit .500 to be an all-american first baseman.

P-P's Hedman is looking like a player of the year candidate.  Biner (JHU) and Post (Pac Lutheran) are also to fine starts.  Who is having a great season?

Player                 AVG  GP-GS    AB   R   H  2B  3B  HR RBI   TB  SLG%
Ryan Biner          .632    6-5     19    6  12   2   0   2   12     20 1.053
Drew Hedman     .574  18-18    68  26  39   7   3  12  39    88  1.294

Check out Hartmann from Cal Lutheran....

His RBI total is a littel down but he already has 9HRs

[dp643]

Javier Arrieta from Sul Ross (terrible record as a team) is putting up monster numbers.

Also fielding .939 at SS

[Jack Parkman]

Check out Hartmann from Cal Lutheran....

His RBI total is a littel down but he already has 9HRs

I think his RBI's are down because the guy in front of him knocks a lot of guys in too.  Hartman had  monster weekend vs. East Bay.  He hit 4 bombs in three games. 

[oldcat]

Hartmann is a good hitter. Every time he hits the ball, it's hit hard. Here is the line on Chapman's Kitchens and Semel so far this year.

Semel is coming around...

He may be the "newcomer" of the year.

[BigPoppa]

Semel is coming around...

He may be the "newcomer" of the year.

It appears that he is the heir apparent to Kurt Yacko... filling the same role.

[chakote]

Semel is coming around...

He may be the "newcomer" of the year.

If he can come in from left field and give them an inning or two, plus keep his bat in the lineup that would be huge for the panthers. He has all the potential to be the heir apparent only time will tell.

The D3baseball.com/NCBWA  All-American team was released on May 20, 2008.

Look on the home page this week for the 2009 All-American team.

[Jim Dixon]

        GORHAM, Maine  --  Seven members of the University of Southern Maine
baseball team have been selected for spots on the 2009 New England
Intercollegiate Baseball Association (NEIBA) Division III All-New
England teams that was released May 14.
        Named to the All-New England first team were senior shortstop Chris
Burleson (Portland, Maine/Deering) and senior outfielder Anthony
D'Alfonso (Westbrook, Maine).  Picked to the second team were senior
outfielder Ryan Pike (Saco, Maine/Thornton Academy) and senior
right-handed pitcher Tim Therrian (New Portland, Maine/Carrabec). 
Selected to the third team were senior first baseman Ryan Gaffney
(Salem, N.H./Central Catholic), junior third baseman Josh Mackey
(Danvers, Mass.) and junior designated hitter Collin Henry (Penobscot,
Maine/George Stevens Academy).
        In addition to the seven players making the All-New England first,
second or third teams, veteran USM head coach Ed Flaherty was named the
Coach of the Year.
        This is the second straight year that Burleson and D'Alfonso have been
named to the first team.  Gaffney was a second team pick at third base
in 2008, and Mackey was a second team honoree in 2007 at third base. 
Southern Maine and LEC arch-rival Eastern Connecticut State University
led all schools with seven players apiece named to the All-New England
teams.
        D'Alfonso, the Little East Conference Player of the Year and first
team all-conference pick, led the Huskies' offense batting .438 (77 for
176) with 52 runs scored, 17 doubles, three triples, nine home runs and
a single-season record 76 RBI.  He also compiled a .722 slugging
percentage and a .519 on-base percentage.
        Burleson finished the season batting .390 (64 for 164) with 69 runs
scored, 10 doubles, three triples, eight homers, 39 RBI and a team-high
27 stolen bases.  Along with 44 walks and nine times hit by pitch,
Burleson had a .539 on-base percentage.
        Pike, the only player to start all 45 games, completed the season with
a .352 batting average (63 for 179), 47 runs scored, 14 doubles, one
triple, a team-leading 11 homers and 67 RBI.  He also stole 21 bases.
        The Little East Conference Pitcher of the Year and first team
all-conference selection, Therrian compiled a 9-1 record with a 3.86
ERA.  The 6-foot-4 right-hander made 12 appearances, including 10
starts, covering 72.1 innings.  He allowed 81 hits, 16 walks and 35
runs (31 earned) while fanning a staff high 58.  Therrian had two
complete games, including a 3-0 shutout of Rhode Island College on
April 25.
        Moving across the diamond from third to first base, Gaffney batted
361 (57 for 158) with 40 runs scored, 11 doubles, two triples, six
home runs and 44 RBI.
        Back at third base where he played as a freshman, Mackey hit 385 (65
for 169) with 68 runs scored, 14 doubles, a team-high four triples, six
home runs and 47 RBI.  He was one of three Huskies to have an on-base
percentage of .500 or higher.
        Henry, who split time at first base, pitcher and designated hitter,
batted .323 (54 for 167) in 44 games with 46 runs scored, a
team-leading 19 doubles, two triples, six homers and 54 RBI.  On the
mound, he compiled a 3-3 record, including a shutout over Keene State
College during the regular season, with a 4.74 ERA.
        In his 24th season as USM's head coach, Flaherty guided the Huskies to
a 36-9 final record.  His team won the Little East Conference regular
season title (outright or shared) for the fifth time since baseball
became a conference sport in 1997 with a 12-2 mark.  The Huskies spent
three consecutive weeks atop the D3baseball.com national poll, and
reached number one in the ABCA Division III poll on May 5.  He achieved
another milestone this season winning the 700th game of his career when
the Huskies downed Calvin College on March 25.
