WALNUT CREEK – Cal State L.A.'s baseball team was well-represented on the All-California Collegiate Athletic Association team that was released by the conference on Wednesday.

 

The Golden Eagles had a total of five players earn All-CCAA honors, including senior catcher Mario Ramirez, who earned first-team honors for the second straight season. The All-CCAA team was selected in voting by the conference coaches.

 

Senior utility player Sam Wiley was named to the second team, while junior pitcher Wally Goodline, senior shortstop Jesus Campos and senior outfielder Matt Miraldi received honorable mention.

 

Brandon Gregorich of UC San Diego was named the conference's Most Valuable Player, while Matt Rossman of UC San Diego was the Most Valuable Pitcher. Abel Medina of Cal State Dominguez Hills was the Newcomer of the Year, Charlie Sharrer of Cal State East Bay was the Freshman of the Year and UC San Diego's Dan O'Brien was the Coach of the Year.

 

Ramirez, who earned first-team honors as a junior outfielder last season, had another outstanding season in 2010, this time as a catcher. He led the Golden Eagles in runs scored with 47 and he was second on the team in batting average at .343. He also set a single-season Cal State L.A. record by getting hit by pitches 21 times. He is also the career record-holder in that department with 35.

 

Wiley, in his first year with the program, led the Golden Eagles and was second in the CCAA in batting with a .433 average. He was also second in the CCAA in runs batted in with 59 and slugging percentage at .691. He also led the Golden Eagles in home runs with nine. He saw time at catcher, in right field and at first base for Cal State L.A.

 

Goodline flourished in his first full season with the program. He was the team's top starter and had a 4-3 record with a 4.03 earned run average. He led the team in innings pitched with 85 1/3 and strikeouts with 62. Goodline pitched in only four games in 2009 before missing the majority of the season because of injury.

 

Miraldi earned All-Conference recognition for a second straight season after hitting .310 with one home run and 24 RBI in 2010. He was third on the team in runs scored with 37. He was named to the All-CCAA second team last season as a junior after hitting .359 in his first year with the program.

 

Campos received All-Conference honors for the first time after another outstanding season. He finished his career with a flourish, belting his first two home runs of the season last weekend against Cal State East Bay. He finished the season with a .272 batting average, 24 RBI and 31 runs scored. He was also one of the best defensive shortstops in the conference and had a hand in 210 outs while committing only eight errors.
