PAGMETER SPECIAL AWARDS FOR 2022 

PAG METER TEAMS OF THE YEAR (TIE) 

STOCKDALE MUSTANGS 

The Mustangs came into 2022 as the team to beat and they took care of business. This team can pitch (2.80 ERA) , play tremendous defense and can hit (.390, & 37 HR’s) The Mustangs are the SWYL Champions, and Central Section Champions finishing the year at 26-5.  

The Mustangs Roster; Noah Brum, Ruben Rodriguez, Shane Heriford, Owen Bolich, Everrett Renfro, Matt Torres, Christian Li, Owen Hill, Anthony Nunez, Adam Enyart, Chris Carrillo, Brayden Gutierrez, Hayden Elchlepp, Isaiah Barron, Austin Charles, Holden Garcia, Bowen Salyards, Ryan Featherston, and Nick Brown. 

KERMAN LOINS 

The Lions broke a Central Section record by winning 28 straight games but because of the new ridiculous playoff format that penalizes the overachieving small schools like Kerman, the Division 3 Lions were moved into Division 2 and had to battle against plenty of Division 1 teams and that is so wrong! The Lions should have played in Division 3 and taken their chances. The Lions won the Diamond Classic Championship and had the Lowest ERA in school history with a 0.89 ERA.   

The Lions Roster; Luis Negrete, Nicholas Garcia, Dario Zavala, Ashton Chalabian, Gio Gastelum, Chase Lee, Noe Salazar, Dominic Puentes, Adam Delgado, Manuel Lasa, Devon Daniel, Julian Rosas, Giovanni Groppetti, Jayden Gonzales, Kevin Chavez, Ayden Olivares, Gilbert Acosta, and Jacob Rocha.   

PAGMETER PLAYER OF THE YEAR 

AUSTIN CHARLES-Senior-STOCKDALE MUSTANGS 

Meet the best player in the Central Section and one of the best in the USA who is a 5-tool player. What’s crazy is that AC is still so green and the sky’s the limit. Austin is still learning to pitch, with a 95MPH fastball, can fly on the bases, plays tremendous shortstop, can hit, and has amazing power. Charles hit .483, with 13 Home Runs, 13 Doubles, led the state with 57 RBI’s, stole 19 bases and had a 1.36 ERA. Charles has signed with UC Santa Barbara but when you are 6’6 and an absolute phenom, look for the Major Leagues to come calling.  

PAGMETER OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE YEAR 

CUTTER COFFEY-Senior-LIBERTY PATRIOTS 

Cutter can do it all and is so dangerous that he didn’t get a lot of actual ABs. Some teams simply said don’t let Cutter beat us, but he still hit .442 with 12 Home Runs, 3 Triples, stole 13 bases, walked 28 times and was always on base. Cutter has signed to play next year for the Texas Longhorns, but there’s a very good chance he will get drafted so it could be decision time. 

PAGMETER PITCHER OF THE YEAR  

DEVON DANIEL-Senior-KERMAN LIONS 

The North Sequoia league Player of the year was simply unhittable every time he pitched. Devon finished with a 13-0 record, 0.19 ERA, 133 Strikeouts in 72 innings. He No-Hit the Washington Union Panthers with 15 K’s and next stop will be pitching at St Mary’s College.  

PAGMETER SMALL SCHOOL PLAYER OF THE YEAR  

RYAN CRONK-Senior-SIERRA PACIFIC GOLDEN BEARS 

The Golden Bears lefty senior finished with a 7-1 record and a tremendous 0.70 ERA. At the plate he hit .443 with 38 RBI’s and 3 Home Runs. Ryan has a 3.81 GPA and was the CIF Central Section Scholar-Athlete Award winner and next stop will be playing for the Allan Hancock Bulldogs.

PAG METER COACH OF THE YEAR  (TIE)

BRAD SHOWERS-STOCKDALE MUSTANGS 

The Mustang’s coaching staff is a family affair. This staff loves to be around each other and that’s what every coaching staff dreams of. Brother Greg runs the powerful offense, Sean is the pitching coach, David, Ruben, and Danny coach the defense, everyday and every pitch. The Central Section Champions have now won 4 Championships in school history (2008, 2009, 2018, 2022) and Coach Showers, has now won the last 2 Central Section Championship.  

Coaches; Brad Showers, Greg Showers, Sean Mullen, David Combs, Ruben Rodrigues, and Danny Ruiz

RYAN SMITH-CLOVIS EAST T WOLVES 

The T Wolves were the hottest team after the Easter tournament playing great as a team. The T Wolves took advantage of the new playoff format and won the Division 2 Section Championship and the first Championship in school history. The T Wolves got some outstanding pitching, clutch hitting when needed and Coach Smitty and his staff did a great job with this team. This is a beautiful story of a team staying the course and getting better and better with every game they played.  

Coaches; Ryan Smith, Dallas Kawakami, Robert Katayama, Donovan Ellis, Christian Parra, Matt Gong, and Patrick Smith

JARED COLEMAN-KERMAN LIONS 

This is one of the greatest and saddest stories all at the same time. Coach Coleman and his staff kept this team fired up with every game they played going 28-0 and heading into the tournament. The sad part was the crazy new playoff format put the division 3 based Lions into division 2 playoffs and against plenty of division 1 teams that was so wrong. The Lions should have taken their chances in the division 3 playoffs. To the Kerman Lions coaching staff, JOB WELL DONE! 

Coaches; Jared Coleman, David Potter, Ryan Potter, Frankie Martinez, and Diego Gastelum

PAGMETER MULTI SPORT PLAYER OF THE YEAR 

JAYDEN MANDAL-Junior-BUCHANAN BEARS 

This is so rare that a player gets an offer from the same school in different sports. Jayden is one of the top Quarterbacks in the state and we all know what he can do playing baseball. Jayden got offers from Fresno State in football/baseball and has decided to take the full ride scholarship over the baseball scholarship and will focus on football and that’s the best move because Jayden is one heck of a QB. Jayden was nails pitching and hitting for the TRAC Champions. Jaden is done with baseball at Buchanan. He will play football at Buchanan and then leave early, graduate from Buchanan after the 1st semester and get ready for Fresno State and play spring ball at FSU. Jayden will compete for the starting job as a freshman.

Others Nominated Multi Sport Athlete of the Year

In a win over Edison, he fired a 3-hitter with 19 strikeouts. Trey is already one of the top prospects in the USA that was named to the MaxPreps Underclass All-American team with an 86MPH fastball and a fantastic curveball. The next 3 years will be fun to watch this superstar who also gets it done in the classroom with 4.0 GPA.

JEROD SMITH-Freshman-FOWLER REDCATS

AIDEN ROBERTSON-Sophomore-EXTER MONARCHS

MASON BRASSFIELD-Sophomore-BAKERSFIELD CHRISTIAN EAGLES

PEYTON VAN WORTH-Sophomore-DOS PALOS BRONCOS 

JEROD SMITH-Freshman-FOWLER REDCATS

PAG METER SUPER 60 ALL CENTRAL SECTION ALL STARS  

IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER

JETT RUBY-Senior-BUCHANAN BEARS 

The back-to-back PAGMETER All Star was the Bear’s igniter with always getting on base, playing great defense and being the team leader. Jett hit .478 and was 2nd in batting in the TRAC. Next stop will be playing at Fresno State.  

Side note: this is the perfect example of why the PAGMETER never looks at All League voting in making the decision to be a PAGMETER All Star and will only mention it in the players bio only if it is deserved. All League voting has now become political in almost all sports. Jett Ruby was 2nd in batting in the TRAC and was put on the 2nd team TRAC. Let that sink in…2nd in batting in the toughest league and was named to the 2nd team. I’m no matholgist but hitting .478 is way better than hitting under .300.The 2nd leading hitter in your league should be a slam-dunk 1st team All Star. This one was so biased and political that I had to mention it.  

JACK ANKER-Senior-TULARE WESTERN MUSTANGS 

The back-to-back MVP of the East Yosemite League is one of the best pitchers in the Central Section and when you played the Mustangs, you hoped that Anker was not pitching. Jack threw 79 innings with 129 strikeouts and finished with a 1.49 ERA and next stop will be pitching for the Fresno State University Bulldogs.  

EVAN WALLACE-Senior-BUCHANAN BEARS 

The TRAC Player of the Year had a tremendous career with the Bears. The senior leader hit .454 and knocked in 24 runs. The next stop will be playing for the UC Irvine Anteaters 

MIKEY BELL-Senior-MEMORIAL PANTHERS 

Mikey was a stud as a freshman and got better every year playing shortstop. The 2-sport athlete also was the Panthers Quarterback and the Panthers Male Athlete of the Year.  The next stop for one of the most consistent players and best shortstops in the state will be playing at Cal Poly.  

JACOB GUTIERREZ-Senior-RIDGEVIEW WOLF PACK 

Senior team leader will go down as the best player in school history and was a big part of the Wolf Pack winning the 2021 state Championship. This year the speedster hit .561, with 7 HR’s, 11 Doubles, 33 RBI’s and was 21-21 in stolen bases. Jacob broke the school record for most runs & hits in a year each with 55, most Home Runs in a year with and tied a 12 year old school record (Tyler Dogins) in stolen bases with 21. Next stop will be to play for Cal State Bakersfield.  

AUSTIN WATSON-Senior-BUCHANAN BEARS 

The TRAC Co-Pitcher Of the Year had a tremendous career for the Bears. The powerful righthander has all the pitches and the next stop will be pitching for Utah Valley University.

The best Pirate in school history has to be Will Gagnon!. The NYL Player of the Year hit .462 with 12 doubles, 3 triples, 6 Home Runs, knocked in 36 runs, walked 21 times, and 12 stolen bases. On the hill he went 12-3 with a 1.73 ERA, 81 innings pitched with 136 strikeouts. The next stop for the Pirates ace will be playing down the street at Reedley College.  

MAX BERNAL-Senior-BUCHANAN BEARS 

One of the most aggressive left-handed hitters the Bears have ever had and that’s saying a lot. Max reminds me of so many professional hitters in the MLB such as Joc Pederson. His approach at the plate is fun to watch and every young hitter would learn from Max. Max was clutch in so many big situations and the next stop for the power-hitter will be playing for Cal State Bakersfield and they are getting a good one. 

CAM SCHNEIDER-Junior-BULLARD KNIGHTS 

The Back-to-Back CMAC Player of the Year and last year’s PAGMETER Player of the Year led the Knights to the CMAC Championship. The 5-tool All Star was hurt early in the year and came on strong. By the time Cam leaves Bullard, he will go down as one of the best Knights to ever play and the PAGMETER knows plenty about the history of Hum Baby Bullard Hardball.  Cam will have a big decision to make after his senior year and that will be signing in the Major League draft or playing at Fresno State. Stay Tuned.  

KYLE JIMENEZ-Senior-CLOVIS WEST GOLDEN EAGLES 

Kyle had one of the best years in Golden Eagles history going 10-1 with a 1.38 ERA. The next stop for the Co-TRAC-Pitcher of The Year will be pitching for the Fresno Pacific Sunbirds.

Muster walked a lot and finished with a .604 on-base percentage and has committed to play at Fresno State.  

TOBY TWIST-Junior-BAKERSFIELD CHRISTIAN EAGLES 

One of the leaders in the clubhouse for PAGMETER Player of the Year in 2023 because Toby can do it all.

The senior team leader had a fantastic Golden Eagles career and this year leaves with a 1.71 ERA. Next stop will be pitching at Fresno State. 

GILBERT ACOSTA-Sophomore-KERMAN LIONS

One of the best young catchers in the Central Section and did a great job handling the best pitching staff in school history. The North Sequoia Offensive Player of the Year hit .416 with 9 doubles and 3 Homers. The next 2 years will be exciting for this left handed slugger. 

MATT TORRES-Junior-STOCKDALE MUSTANGS 

One of the best leadoff hitters in the state who is a gap-to-gap hitter that hit a crazy .495 with 10 doubles, 14 stolen bases, 2 HR’s and was a big part of why the Mustangs won the Central Section Championship. Matt is a speedster who was always on base and setting the table for the Mustangs offense. Matt played tremendous defense and has verbally committed to play at St Mary’s.  

ISAIAH LEYVA-Junior-FIREBAUGH EAGLES

Get ready for a big senior year from this super athlete who did it all his junior year. The Eagles MVP will be up for the PAGMETER Multi-sport athlete of the year in 2023 playing Quarterback/WR, point guard in basketball and the Eagles ace. Josh Allen would be so proud of No 3.

DREW SMITH-Senior-BUCHANAN BEARS 

Outstanding 3rd basemen and team leader for the Bears who knocked in 33 runs and that is top 10 in school history. Next stop will be playing for the University of Oregon.

TRISTON MURPH GRAY-Senior-MADERA SOUTH STALLIONS 

Murph will go down as the best Stallion in school history. What a great story when every year Murph was being recruited not only by colleges but by plenty of high schools in the area. It is a great story because Murph decided he wanted to play with his friends that he grew up with. In today’s world, that is very rare. Murph was pitched very carefully and still hit .400. The Stallions ace went 6-1 with 1.16 ERA, 60 innings pitched with 105 strikeouts. Murph led the Stallions winning the division 4 Section Championship and the first Championship in school history. The Next stop will either be the Major League draft or Fresno State. Could be decision time.

JACOB CRAIN-Senior-CLOVIS EAST T WOLVES 

When you faced the T Wolves, you had to hope their senior lefty wasn’t pitching because he loved to pitch in the big games. Jacob led the T Wolves to the Division 2 Section Championship and the first Championship in school history and the next stop will be playing at San Francisco State.
