Jovan Camacho, West Ranch, sophomore

The sophomore sensation put up AllSCV Player of the Year type numbers. It’s hard to believe he won’t be in the mix for the award the next two years. Camacho hit .452 with an on-base percentage over .500. He stole 12 bases on 16 tries and scored 32 runs.

Brandyn Cruz, Saugus, sophomore

Cruz went 19 for his last 35 at the plate this season to end the year with an average of .422. He posted seven extra-base hits in all, with 22 RBIs. On the mound, the precocious lefty owned a 3.39 ERA and 40 strikeouts in 41 1/3 innings.

Trace Eldridge, Valencia, senior

After two strong seasons on the Vikings varsity, Eldridge had a stellar finale at the plate as a senior. The shortstop hit .474 with 16 extra-base hits and 19 RBIs. He posted an onbase percentage of .571 and a slugging

percentage of .736.

Ben Fariss, Valencia, senior

Arm soreness limited the 2016 AllSCV Player of the Year’s impact on the mound in 2017, but Fariss was still a two-way factor. He hit .368 with a team-high five home runs and 33 RBIs. He posted a 3.43 ERA in 32 2/3 innings, earning the win in Valencia’s Foothill-title sealing win over West Ranch on May 11.

Brendan Henry, Hart, senior

This is not by any measure a flashy pick. Henry was a grinder. But he was about as reliable a player as you’ll find. The senior hit .325 with 26 RBIs, and he owned a 2.71 ERA, according to MaxPreps, in 31 innings of side-arming work. He had four saves on the year.

Timmy Josten, West Ranch, senior

In three varsity seasons, Josten never posted an ERA over 2.80. He set a new personal best for strikeouts in 2017 with 70 in 71 innings. A master of control, he only walked 18 in that span. He

went 8-4 overall with a 2.56 ERA.

Cole Roederer, Hart, junior

No one was better at doing an above average amount of everything in 2017. Roederer hit .353 with 28 RBIs, 31 runs scored and 26 steals. He hit four home runs and eight doubles while covering large swaths of grass in center field.

Christos Stefanos, West Ranch, junior

The Foothill League Player of the Year drove in a team-high 28 runs while rattling off 14 extra-base hits this season. Stefanos also made a seamless transition from third base to catcher for Foothill League runner-up West Ranch. We may even see him on the mound in 2018.

Lukas White, Valencia, junior

White flew under the radar to begin the year, but he became a major factor in the Vikings’ second-straight league title, both with his arm and his bat. White hit .344 with 22 RBIs, and he owned a 2.92 ERA in 36 innings.
