About the Program

The Pomona-Pitzer baseball program competes at the NCAA Division III level and is a member of the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. Official practice starts in January and the first games take place in early February. Pomona-Pitzer plays the NCAA Division III maximum of 40 games, including a four game series against each conference opponent. The winner of the regular season conference championship gains an automatic bid to the NCAA Division III Tournament.

During the past decade Pomona-Pitzer has established itself as one of the top baseball programs in the nation. Since 2002, the Sagehens have made five trips to the NCAA Tournament and won five conference championships (2002, 2003, 2007, 2009, 2010). During the 2009 campaign, the Sagehens set a school record with 37 wins and were ranked as the top team in the nation at one point during the season. Senior first baseman Drew Hedman was named National Player of the Year.

During the 2002 and 2003 seasons, the Sagehens captured back-to-back SCIAC championships, earned two consecutive appearances in the NCAA Tournament and compiled an impressive 36-3 league record (66-18 overall).

Several Pomona-Pitzer baseball players have gone on to play professional baseball in recent years including Drew Hedman (Red Sox, 50th round, 2009), Jase Turner (Royals, 27th round, 2005), Adam Gardner (Giants, free-agent, 2004), Jose Cortez (Phillies, 14th round, 2003) and Emiliano Escandon (Royals, 29th round, 1995). In addition several players have played professionally overseas in Holland, Belgium, Sweden, Germany, England, Australia and South Africa.

As a member of the Pomona-Pitzer baseball team, student-athletes have the unique opportunity of pursuing academic excellence at prestigious institutions while participating in a nationally competitive baseball program.
