Duke Baseball Academic Honors Duke Baseball Academic Honors At a time when college athletics are under close scrutiny for its academic shortcomings, the Duke athletic program remains a shining example of what can be accomplished with the proper perspective. The commitment to academic excellence is obvious in all of Duke’s sports programs. All of the Blue Devils teams have graduation rates near 100 percent every year. Duke is also well represented on the ACC Academic Honor Roll. For 18 consecutive years, Duke has had the most student-athletes on the conference list, which recognizes athletes who compile at least a 3.0 grade point average for the full school year. The ACC also released its inaugural All-ACC Academic Baseball Team in 2006. Duke’s Nate Freiman, Daniel Palmer and Javier Socorro were named to the team, honored for their success in the classroom and for their performance on the field. To be eligible for consideration, a student-athlete must have earned All-ACC Academic Team Year Name a 3.0 grade point average for the previous semester and 2006 Nate Freiman 2006 Daniel Palmer maintained a 3.0 cumulative average during his academic 2006 Javier Socorro Nate Freiman career.

Andrew Wolcott has provided great leadership in this area as demonstrated by our participation in a wide range of projects last fall. We look forward to continuing our efforts in the Durham community in the years to come.” Sophomore Andrew Wolcott (above), who serves as the community service liaison for the baseball team, guided the Duke players on five different projects in the fall of 2006. The projects included Duke traditions such as the Verizon Read with the Blue Devils program and a trip to the Urban Ministries Soup Kitchen to sort clothes, as well as new projects. The freshmen and sophomores took part in the Walk-a-Mile Your Style walk-a-thon to aid Rogers Herr Middle School’s fundraising efforts to support Uganda and the juniors and seniors partnered with the Durham community to assist with the cleanup of Lyon Park. “It has been a privilege to interact with the Durham community on these different projects,” said sophomore Matt Williams. “It is really rewarding for us to spend time with these groups. I think it impacts us as much as we impact the people we meet. It is definitely a two-way street.” 21 Duke University Jack Coombs: Duke’s “Mr. College Baseball” Nicknamed “Mr. College Baseball,” Jack Coombs built a reputation as one of the most outstanding college baseball coaches in the country. In 24 years as head baseball coach at Duke, Coombs led the school to three NCAA District titles, five Southern Conference crowns and seven North Carolina championships. He retired from coaching at the age of 70 after compiling a 381-171-3 record at Duke from 1929-52. In 1951, he coached Duke to the College World Series in Omaha, Neb., where the Blue Devils lost in the third round. Coombs, who called himself “The Old Man,” sent 47 players to the Major Leagues including Dick Groat, Bill Werber, Chubby Dean, Harold Wagner, George Barley, Larry “Crash” Davis, Eric Tipton, Russ Bergman and Eddie Shokes. Born in LeGrande, Iowa, Coombs learned to play baseball on the rocky fields of Maine before attending Colby College. He became one of the first Jack Coombs coached the Blue college players to ever play in the Major Leagues. Devils from 1929-1951.

  • This Bud's for You: Milwaukee Will Take Anything Including The
    This Bud’s for you: Milwaukee will take anything including the sleeper tag in order to avoid another 90 loss campaign 6. Milwaukee Brewers: Can Carlos Lee really help the Brewers improve dramatically upon a 67-94 finish one year ago? That’s the major question right now for the baseball team in Milwaukee, which traded base stealer extraordinare Scott Podsednik to the White Sox in exchange for Lee (.305Avg. 31HR 99RBI). He gives them the right handed power bat they’ve been lacking for a while to go sandwiched in between lefty hitters Lyle Overbay (All-Star) and veteran outfielder Geoff Jenkins. Jenkins (.851 career OPS), Lee and likely Brady Clark will compose the Brewers outfield. Behind the plate is Damian Miller, who works very well with start pitchers as he did in Arizona, Oakland and Chicago, so he will have no trouble handling Ben Sheets. Chad Moeller, an ex-teammate of Miller’s with the Diamondbacks, should spell him for about 40-50 games and be a decent backup. I question how good Clark can be in the everyday lineup, markedly as the leadoff man. Clark was decent in 2004, batting .280 and stealing 15 bases. Still, don’t see him staying there long if he’s only score 40-50 runs per season. And Clark will get the chance to touch home plate with guys like Lee, Overbay and Jenkins behind him. Russell Branyan poses a threat when on the field. Despite striking out quite often, he hit 11 dingers in 51 games. Branyan, whose 81 home runs are the most of someone with less than 1500 plate appearances, would relish the opportunity to start every day or get upwards of 250 at-bats.

  • SF Giants Press Clips Friday, March 17, 2017
    SF Giants Press Clips Friday, March 17, 2017 San Francisco Chronicle Giants’ Christian Arroyo: next piece of homegrown infield? John Shea SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The Giants love shortstops. Theirs is one of the best in baseball, Brandon Crawford. Their second baseman was drafted as a shortstop and converted in the minors, Joe Panik. They drafted Matt Duffy as a shortstop and taught him to play third base as a big-leaguer. Last summer, they traded for Eduardo Nuñez, who had played mostly shortstop during his career but played third after Duffy was traded to Tampa Bay.

Not that Christian Arroyo is targeted to play the position in the big leagues, not with Mr. Crawford in the house. Arroyo, who’s 21 going on 30, is the team’s third baseman of the future, and we’re not talking the distant future.
