BASE: Morgan, Montrose, Vento, and Santiago Earn All-Conference Honors.

WATERVILLE, Maine - The North Atlantic Conference (NAC) has announced the 2022 All-Conference selections for Baseball. SUNY Poly was well represented, placing three players on the West Division All-Conference Team and one player on the Sportsmanship Team. The Wildcat's West All-Conference selections were Paul Morgan, Jake Montrose, and Don Vento. Manuel Santiago was Poly's representative on the Sportsmanship Team. 

Paul Morgan was an absolute workhorse for the Wildcats this season. The senior was second in the NAC with 47.2 innings pitched in eight starts. His 2.64 era was the best of all pitchers in the conference and he allowed just 14 walks while striking out 30. He also did not allow a home run and held opponents to just six extra-base hits in his starts.

Jake Montrose was arguably the most dangerous hitter in North Atlantic Conference play this season. While his .333 overall average, .578 season slugging percentage, and 14 extra-base hits (4HR) are impressive, what is truly impressive are his numbers in games where they counted the most. In the Wildcats' 15 NAC games, Montrose hit .460 (3rd in the NAC) with a NAC best .840 slugging percentage. He led all players in conference play with 23 hits, four home runs, and 42 total bases.

Don Vento had a great season for the Wildcats. Don hit .313 overall with a .400 average in 50 at-bats in NAC games. Don had an on-base percentage of .398 overall (.475 in NAC play) and was an absolute menace on the basepaths. Vento led the NAC in base stealing, going a perfect 22-22 in his first season. He also had three doubles and a home run.
