closeCal Poly baseball player Matt Jensen has been named to his third freshman All-American team, this time taking home the honor from Baseball America.
Jensen, a second baseman from Clovis East High, had his season cut short by a broken collarbone with a month remaining in the season, but the statistics he put up before then were enough to also get freshman All-American nods from Collegiate Baseball Newspaper/Louisville Slugger and Pro-Line Athletic/National College Baseball Writers Association.
Starting 42 games, Jensen batted .375 with 15 doubles, nine home runs and 53 RBI — all team-leading totals when he went down after colliding with a baserunner from San Francisco on May 2.
Callero completes staff by adding an assistant coach
One of Cal Poly’s latest recruits came from the heart of Texas, and it couldn’t have hurt that one of new coach Joe Callero’s latest assistants did, too.
Callero announced the hiring of former Texas State assistant Omar Lowery on Wednesday, nearly a week after 6-foot-10 Texas high school standout Ryan Pembleton said he was committing to play at Cal Poly next season.
While with the Bobcats, Lowery helped sign seven top-40 high school players in the state of Texas, according to a news release from the Mustangs.
After decommitting from Army, Pembleton said he was also being recruited by Texas State.
Prior to joining the Bobcats, Lowery — a former Division III college player at Concordia in Mequon, Wis. — was a graduate assistant at Eastern New Mexico.
He joins new Cal Poly assistants Mark Amaral, Mitch Freeman and Mitch Reaves.
Stevenson returns to take reigns of junior program
Cal Poly volleyball coach Jon Stevenson is spending another summer as a developmental coach, something he’s done in several capacities since 2004.
The fifth-year Mustangs coach will manage the Junior A2 National Team, an elite group of 12 youth players who will compete at the International High Performance Tournament in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., in July.
It’s the second straight appointment to the position for Stevenson, who also ran the team last summer after scouting prospective A2 players the previous three years.
Stevenson was a volunteer assistant with the U.S. men’s national team in 2004. Assisting Stevenson is Hofstra coach Kristina Hernandez, who was a volunteer under Stevenson at his former school, St. Mary’s, in 2004.
