All-Conference 12.Indd 2012 Big West Baseball 2 Corporate Park, Suite 206, Irvine, CA 92606 • Phone: (949) 261-2525 • Fax: (949) 261-2528 • email: [email protected] Director of Communications: Julie St.Cyr (baseball contact) Big West All-Conference - May 29, 2012 Big West Announces 2012 Baseball Awards Irvine, Calif. — A trio of Titans make up half of the top Big West baseball honors, while Cal Poly, Cal State Northridge and UC Irvine divvy up the remaining accolades. Cal State Ful- lerton’s Dylan Floro was named 2012 Big West Pitcher of the Year, Matt Chapman earned Big West Freshman Player of the Year distinction and first-year coach Rick Vanderhook was named Big West Coach of the Year. Cal Poly’s Mitch Haniger walked away with the Big West Player of the Year accolade, while D.J. Crumlich was the Big West Defensive Player of the Year selection and Jerry Keel nabbed the Big West Freshman Pitcher of the Year award. Haniger’s selection for player of the year is the first Cal Poly recipient since Grant Desme received the honor back in 2007. The junior from Santa Clara, Calif., led the league in a multitude of categories, including runs batted in (64), home runs (13) and total bases (132), while also ranking in the top five in various other statistical categories. Nationally, Haniger ranks 11th in runs batted in and 13th in runs batted in per game (1.14). Starting all 56 Mustang contests, the center fielder hit .346 on the year while powering out a league-best .626 slugging percentage. Haniger was recognized for his efforts twice this season, picking up Big West Player of the Week honors on Feb. 27 and April 26. The selection of Floro as pitcher of the year snapped a four-year run by UC Irvine. The junior from Merced, Calif., is the first Titan to be named pitcher of the year since Jeff Kaplan was part of the trio that was named tri-pitcher of the year back in 2008. In 107.1 innings pitched, Floro tied for first in the league with 10 wins, tying him for 11th in the country, while owning a 2.52 earned run average. Among the country’s best, he also ranks sixth in walks allowed per nine innings (.92) and 13th in strikeout-to-walk ratio (6.18). He ended the 2012 regular season on a high note as he was named Big West Pitcher of the Week after he assisted the Titans in capturing the Big West crown. UC Irvine continues to stake its claim on the newly-added defensive player of the year award with the selection of Crumlich. Two-way player Brian Hernandez picked up the inaugural Big West Defensive Player of the Year award last season. The junior shortstop finished second in the conference in assists with 160 and placed seventh after fielding 28 double plays. Crumlich also ranked sixth in the conference in hits (73) and doubles (16). This is the second year in-a-row that the orange and blue are represented by the Big West Freshman Player of the Year. Last season, Michael Lorenzen picked up the award and this season Chapman holds the honor. Chapman finished fourth in batting average (.288) on a Titan squad that ranked second in the conference. The shortstop from Trabuco Canyon, Calif., started 47 of his 50 games played and recorded 51 hits, 24 runs and 22 RBI. As a freshman, Keel led the Cal State Northridge Matadors with an impressive 2.07 earned run average, placing him second in the Big West Conference. The freshman pitcher of the year tallied 91.1 innings pitched in 16 appearances, including 13 starts. Hailing from Palmdale, Calif., Keel struck out 48 batters and allowed just 26 runs, 21 of which were earned. He concluded the year with a 6-3 record. First-year head coach Rick Vanderhook guided the Cal State Fullerton Titans to their 25th Big West Conference championship overall and 10th in the last 14 years with a 17-7 mark, one game over Cal Poly, to earn Big West Coach of the Year accolades. Vanderhook becomes the fifth Cal State Fullerton coach to earn the distinction (Dave Serrano 2010-11; George Horton 1998, 1999 and 2004-06; Augie Garrido 1987, 1995; Larry Cochell 1990). Along with the conference title came an automatic bid into the 2012 NCAA Tournament, which gives the Titans their 21st consecutive appearance in the postseason, the third-longest active consecutive streak in the nation behind Miami (40 years) and Florida State (35 years). Cal Poly and Big West Champion Cal State Fullerton dominated the All-Big West First Team selections, with the Mustangs receiving seven nods to lead the conference, while the Titans picked up five honors.. Long Beach State, UC Irvine and UC Santa Barbara also made the list with each team earning one selection. Representing the Mustangs are Chris Hoo (C), Jimmy Allen (3B), Mike Miller (SS), Mitch Haniger (OF), Tim Wise (DH), Joey Wagman (SP) and Reed Reilly (RP). Titan sophomore Michael Lorenzen collected first-team nods in two positions - utility and closer, while Carlos Lopez (1B), Richy Pedroza (2B) and Dylan Floro (SP) also made the elite list for Cal State Fullerton. Brennan Metzger grabbed first team accolades for Long Beach State, UC Santa Barbara was represented by outfielder Brett ertiganV and starting pitcher Andrew Thurman was the lone Anteater to make first team.

    NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS NEWSLETTER (Volume 43, No. 7, December 10, 2004) NCBWA President’s Message By NCBWA President Mike Montoro Though the holiday and bowl seasons are here upon us, we hope the recently-released preseason NCBWA All-America team will bring some warm thoughts of spring to you. Our deepest sympathies go to the family and friends of late NCBWA member Matt Smith, who died while on a basketball road trip to Mississippi State on Dec. 3. The South Alabama SID was a frequent contributor and one of the top young SIDs in the nation. His passing at this time of the year strikes home particularly hard to those who knew or worked with Matt. Don’t forget to email any news items to Bo Carter ([email protected]) for the newsletter, and thanks for staying attuned to some upcoming developments which can affect the NCBWA and college baseball as a whole. There are some exciting possibilities and some possible new awards on the horizon, so be on the watch for nomination forms, releases and other forthcoming information. In the meantime, here’s wishing you the happiest of holiday seasons (and bowls for many of you), safe travels, and good cheer for the end of 2004 and the start of what promises to be an outstanding year in 2005. Mike Montoro NCBWA President NCBWA Member Matt Smith of South Alabama Dies Suddenly Matt Smith, media relations director for the University of South Alabama, died unexpectedly on Dec. 3, 2004, of an apparent heart attack in Starkville, Miss., while traveling with the USA basketball team.
