2009 Mustangs finish as the Top Team in Northern California and 2nd in the State

2010 Delta College Baseball Season Outlook

The Delta College Mustangs are beginning the third season under Head Coach Reed Peters and assistants Denny Peterson, Matt Wilson and Daniel Fernandez. The Mustangs are coming off a banner year that included regional and super regional championships and a trip to the Final Four. The Mustangs finished the year as the State Runner Up, Delta's best finish since 1959.

Additional 2009 honors include:

  • Named the Stockton Athletic Hall of Fame Team of the Year.
  • Six Division 1 transfers and twelve total transfers to 4 year schools
  • 2 All Americans: Zach DeValle and Stuart Burnett The California Pitcher of the Year: Zach DeValle. 4 All Big 8 players: Zach DeValle, Stuart Burnett, Brett Morgan and Jared Schlehuber
  • Finished the season as the Top Team in Northern California
  • Led the Big 8 Conference in Team ERA, Opponent Batting Avg, Fielding %

A return trip to the championship will mean a lot of new faces will have to step up.

INEXPERIENCED: with only one starting position player and one starting pitcher returning, the Mustangs will need to mature quickly. 2010 will be extremely challenging for the Mustangs as this year’s schedule includes all but six games coming against top 20 teams. The Big 8 Conference was ranked as the most difficult conference in California last year, and for good reason, as five teams that reached the playoffs last year including two final four teams and four elite eight teams.

Pitchers:

Denny Peterson returns as pitching coach for the Mustangs. His staff was the best in the Big 8 and included the California Pitcher of the Year in Zach DeValle. While inexperienced, this year’s staff has a ton of potential. Returning from last year are lefthanders Kevin Rogers and Josh Rodriguez, and right-handers Brent Clapper, Freddie Solari, Andrew Gabriel, Eric Watts (redshirt), Dylan Coffin (redshirt) and Derrick Dederman (injured last year). A strong recruiting class includes right-handers Ryan Fisher (transfer from UOP), Stephen Malcolm (transfer from UC Irvine), Trevor Miller, Mike Garcia, Rafael Vasquez, Jay Shindledecker, Steve Raburn, Kyle Hassna, Jordan Louie, Jake Cose and Justin Tomek; and lefties Zach Costa and Josh Grijalva. This staff is extremely deep and talented with eleven guys throwing in the upper 80’s and above. Competition for the starting spots is still heavy with seven or eight guys possessing the ability to start. The bullpen should be balanced with Stephen Malcolm most likely taking on the role of closer and shortstop.

Catchers:

The catchers are coached by Matt Wilson. Matt comes to Delta from Sacramento State University where he coached the catchers for Head Coach John Smith. He will lead an inexperienced, but talented group of freshmen that includes Tyelr Eppler, Jordan Louie, and Kyle Hassna. All three have very good arms. Louie and Hassna will also pitch for the Mustangs

Infielders:

Daniel Fernandez begins his first seasonas the infield coach with the Mustangs, and should have some pretty good young talent to work with. First base is very deep with newcomers Jake Mote, Ryan Fisher and Randy Villa all having good falls. Sophomore Vince Canale should also see time at first as well as in the outfield. The middle infield is very talented as well. Stephen Malcolm will start at shortstop with Justin Boyd also seeing time there. Second base will be heavily contested between sophomore Jake Caton and freshmen Ricky Acosta and Brandon Hughes. Switch hitting Jake Cose will start at third base and be backed up by Chris Pile.

Outfielders:

Coach Peters will have a deep and versatile group of outfielders to work with. Sophomore Vinnie Devencenzi (34 starts) was the offensive MVP in the playoffs for the Mustangs last year. Lincoln Clapper (16 starts) Ryan Scornaienchi (1 start) and Vince Canale all contributed last year as freshmen and all have a chance to start this year. Newcomers Nick Rulli, Jeff McKenzie and Josh Grijalva are all very athletic should all see playing time as well.

Head Coach Reed Peters is excited about this year’s club. While the team is young, the talent is good. The question will be, "Can this team gel together to make a return trip to Fresno?"

A Big THANK YOU to all that attended the Golf Tournament, Banguet and Alumni Weekend. We greatly appreciate your support!
