Logan Ice The Pac-12 Defensive Player Of The Year

The Pac-12 baseball coaches have voted, and the Pac-12 All-Conference Teams and awards are out.

Oregon State's Logan Ice is the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, after playing in all 54 of the Beavers games, with only 4 errors. Ice is also on both the All-Conference and All-Conference Defensive teams.

Oregon State's Freshman second baseman Nick Madrigal also earned an individual All-Conference honor, as the Freshman of the Year, after batting .333 with 5 triples. Madrigal joined Ice on both the All-Conference and All-Conference Defensive teams.

It's the 4th time in 5 years Oregon State has produced the conference Freshman of the Year, as Madrigal joins Michael Conforto, Andrew Moore, and K.J. Harrison.

The Pac-12 Conference Player of the Year award went to sophomore catcher Brett Cumberland, who led the conference in home runs, with 16, RBIs, with 51, and slugging percentage, at .678.

Washington senior reliever Troy Rallings, who posted a season ERA of 0.89, second lowest in the country, and got 31 saves in 38 appearances, was named the conference Pitcher of the Year.

USC Senior David Oppenheim is the Pac-12 Batting Champion, after hitting .387 while starting all 53 games, and nocking 74 hits.

Utah Coach Bill Kinnebrew has been named the Pac-12 Conference Coach of the Year, after guiding the Utes to the Pac-12 Championship. Utah gelled at the right time, going 19-11 in the Pac-12. This after a 6-21 non-conference record.

Harrison. a sophomore, was also named to the All-Conference team, for the second year in a row, at first base, and the Beavers also saw sophomore Christian Donahum named to the All-Conference team, after Donahue successfully transitioned from second base last season to the outfield, moving primarily to left field.

Freshman pitcher Bryce Fehmel received Honorable Mention to the All-Conference and All-Conference Defensive teams, after making the move from middle reliever to starter to Saturday starter, concluding his season with a complete game 3-0 shutout of UCLA in just his second start.

Interestingly, Honorable Mention in the Pac-12 Conference was a good enough performance to also be named a Second Team Louisville Slugger All-American by Collegiate Baseball.
