Minnesota Twins Draft LMC Outfielder
The third day of the 2013 Major League Baseball Player Draft was a great day for Los Medanos and their sophomore outfielder Kelly Starnes. Starnes was the 40th round selection of the Minnesota Twins. "This opportunity is a result of Kelly's tireless work ethic and drive to get better each and every day, explained Head Coach Anthony D'Albora. I'm very excited to see where this takes him, and I am very excited for what this means for our program. It is the recognition our great players deserve for the type of work they are putting in and the type of people they are becoming. Hopefully, Kelly is the first of many draft selections we get to brag about in the coming years."
Kelly Starnes Selected for 2013 All-Northern California Team
LMC Center Fielder Kelly Starnes was chosen as a member of the 2013 All-Northern California Team. This team is made up of players who were Unanimous 1st Team Selections in their Conference Post Season Awards. Starnes was a Unanimous 1st Team Outfielder in the Bay Valley Conference. "It's a great award for a great player," explained Head Coach Anthony D'Albora. "Kelly is one of the hardest working players I have ever coached, and this recognition is a testament to all the hard work he put in to getting better every day for the past two years here at LMC." Mustang Baseball End-of-the-Season Awards The Mustangs Baseball Program 2nd Annual End-of-the-Season Awards, as voted on by the players and coaches, were announced as follows: Pitcher of the Year Left-handed pitcher Peter Nyznyk was named the top pitcher for the 2013 season. Nyznyk led the team in almost every pitching category, including innings pitched (103.1), strikeouts (72), wins (6), games started and complete games. "Peter was an absolute work horse for us for two years," explained Head Coach Anthony D'Albora. "He did everything we asked him to do and more on the mound, and what made him great was his competitive fire to always get better and help make those around him better as well." Defensive Player of the Year The defensive player of the year award was given to both shortstop Ryan Lacy and outfielder Christian Kaplan. Lacy played every inning of every game at shortstop during the 2013 season. Kaplan was the everyday left fielder for the Mustangs. "Defensive awards are the hardest to give out because there are so many less numbers to evaluate guys on," said Coach D'Albora of the two. "Ryan was solid for us up the middle every day. This 2013 team was one of the best defensive teams we've had here at LMC and that starts with the presence you have up the middle. Especially down the stretch at the end of the year, we could not have asked for a better shortstop than Ryan Lacy. I think Kaplan's season defensively was summed up with the play he made in Santa Rosa to save a close game. He made a diving catch down the line in left that was probably one of the best outfield catches I have ever seen. He was capable everyday of not just making the routine play but going all out and making an ESPN caliber play to spark a team and save a run." Most Valuable Player The 2013 Most Valuable Player was awarded to outfielder Kelly Starnes. Starnes was the everyday center fielder for LMC, and also one of the key offensive pieces leading the team in hits (55), doubles (14), triples (7), and RBI's (37). "It's easy to look at Kelly's numbers and know why he was the MVP, but what we will miss the most as he moves on is his leadership by example and by the type of person he was on and off the field everyday," remarked Coach D'Albora. "Kelly Starnes worked his tail off for two years here to be, in my opinion, what will go down as one of the best players to ever play at Los Medanos College." Jerry Coakley Mustang of the Year
The Mustang of the Year is the player who best embodies the culture and pride of the LMC Baseball Program and our motto, "Loyalty, Merit, Champion". This year there were two Mustangs of the Year, catcher Chad Highberger and infielder Matt McHenry. "This is Matt's second year receiving this award and Chad's first, and I can honestly say without these two people, we would not have been as successful as a program for the past two seasons," said Coach D'Albora. "A lot of people say that at the two-year level, you are only as good as your sophomores and their ability to lead and follow. I think we had nine sophomores who 100% bought in to the program and our values, and that group and our entire program were led by two outstanding men in Matt and Chad."
