Erskine Baseball | Four named to All-Conference Carolinas teams

GREENVILLE, S.C. - Conference Carolinas released its 2022 baseball all-conference honors on Tuesday, May 3 ahead of the conference championship which begins on Wednesday, May 4 at Historic Fleming Stadium in Wilson, North Carolina. Erskine's Armando Becerra, Johnny Hummel, Christian Rivera, and Allan Saathoff all earned 2nd Team honors.

The all-conference awards were chosen by the league's head coaches. 

Becerra, a sophomore outfielder from Miami, Florida, hit .345 with 24 stolen bases and led the Fleet with 15 doubles while making just two errors in center field. Becerra posted six games with 3+ hits, including a 4-for-5 performance with a walk-off home run against UNC Pembroke (2/26).

Hummel, a redshirt sophomore closer from Matthews, North Carolina, was nearly untouchable for most of the season. The right-hander did not allow a run in his first 23 and 2/3 innings pitched and led the conference with 13 saves.

Rivera, a sophomore catcher and first baseman from Winter Haven, Florida had an outstanding first season with the Fleet. He crushed a team-leading 11 home runs and tallied two separate hitting streaks of nine or more games. Rivera also led the Fleet in OPS (1.009), total bases (101), and slugging percentage (.587).

Saathoff, a senior starting pitcher from Ridgely, Maryland led the Fleet with 12 starts as their "Friday guy" all season long. Saathoff also racked up a team-leading 89 strikeouts while opponents hit just .221 off the right-hander. He posted a season-high 10 strikeouts on three separate occasions. He reached the total vs North Greenville (2/18) and in his last two starts of the year, against Southern Wesleyan (4/15) and in a complete game victory at Emmanuel (4/22).

Marek Chlup and Reece Fields of North Greenville won Player and Pitcher of the Year honors, respectively, while Ethan Ott of UNC Pembroke was named Freshman of the Year and Landon Powell of North Greenville was awarded Coach of the Year.
