Allen Community College’s baseball team placed four players on the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Eastern Division all-conference team.
Leading the way for the Red Devils was freshman outfielder Nathan Bach, who paced the club in multiple offensive categories.
The Boulder, Colo., native hit a club-high .400 over 50 games, while slugging 11 home runs, driving in 52, scoring 50 and racking up a .725 slugging percentage. His 24 doubles ranked second on the quad, as did his 66 hits.
Bach’s offensive prowess garnered him second-team all Jayhawk East honors.
He was joined by teammates Christian Altamirano, Josh Fluet and Josh Prinner, each of whom received honorable mention.
Prinner, a sophomore shortstop out of Mountain Home, Ark., hit .390, ranking second on the team, while leading Allen with 71 hits and 26 doubles. His 49 runs scored ranked second as well. He also hit three triples, homered four times and successfully stole seven bases in nine attempts.
Fluet, a sophomore out of White Rock, British Columbia, became the team’s staff ace, leading Allen in innings pitched (53) and strikeouts (55) while going 3-4 with a 4.75 ERA.
Altamirano, a freshman outfielder, settled in nicely down the stretch for the Red Devils, ending with a .344 batting average. He scored 24 runs and was successful in seven of nine stolen base attempts.
The Red Devils went 26-26 in 2022, bowing out in the Region VI playoffs.
