Martin Named KJCCC East Coach of Year, 10 Ravens All-Conference

 

One of the best seasons in Red Raven baseball history was rewarded nicely by the Jayhawk Conference, with 10 Raven players named all-conference, and Head Coach Jake Martin receiving KJCCC East Co-Coach of the Year.

 

Martin shares the award with Eric Horner of Johnson County, after Martin led the Ravens to a 35-win season and a top-four finish in the East Division for the first time in a decade. The Ravens went 22-7 at home this season, and hosted and won a playoff series for the first time since 2015.

 

Sophomore outfielder Eric Bacon and sophomore pitcher Jackson Waggoner were both named first team all-conference for their seasons. Bacon hit .380 with 46 RBIs and 29 stolen bases, while Waggoner had a 2.68 ERA in conference games, ranking third best in the KJCCC.

 

Eight other Ravens were named Honorable Mention All-KJCCC; shortstop Nathon Cruz, catcher Ethan Gillespie, third baseman Cooper Jarnigan, second baseman Landin Midgett, first baseman Wyatt Pace, closer Caleb Peek, starting pitcher Easton Renn, and outfielder Colton Reudy.
