Three versatile players took top honors in all-conference baseball voting in the CBBN, CWAC and SCAC.
West Valley senior Colby Graham, who had spot pitching duty when he wasn’t manning his shortstop position.
Graham, who batted leadoff, helped the Rams to their second straight unbeaten run through the Big Nine and district championship. He will play in Wednesday’s Columbia Basin All Star game with the top players advancing to the All-State Baseball Series at Yakima Valley College’s Parker-Faller Field.
Othello junior Xzyvvn Martinez was almost hittable as the ace of a stellar of an stingy pitching staff. The right-hander who bats from the left side of the plate, batted near the top of order and played third base when not shutting down opponents.
Cashmere’s Tom McDevitt repeated as the SCAC Player of the Year after leading the Bulldogs to a co-conference championship, district title and run to the state quarterfinals.
Bound for the NAIA’s Master’s University in Santa Clarita, Calif., McDevitt batted better than .400 in the regular season with a pair of home runs and 23 RBI.
