The Compton College baseball team placed two players on the 2024 All-South Coast Conference Team in a season that saw the squad total its most conference wins in nine years.

Compton (16-24 overall record) finished 10-14 and in sixth place in the 9-team SCC, moving up a place and improving three conference wins from a year ago under head coach Shannon Williams. The program had not reached double digits in SCC victories since 2015 when the team placed third with a 13-8 mark. 

Making the All-SCC First Team was 2-year letterman catcher Emilio Morales, who batted .299 with one home run and 14 RBI while leading the conference in throwing out base stealers with 13 gun outs. Overall, Morales he hit .320 in 37 games and led Compton in RBI (30), walks (29), runs scored (34) and on-base percentage (.480).

Selected to the All-SCC Second Team was sophomore designated hitter Jalen Ringwood (.320, 14 RBI in conference), who batted .331 overall while leading the team in doubles (12) and slugging percentage at .456.

Second-year pitcher Jacob Ramirez earned an All-SCC Gold Glove award for his defensive work at the position (16 flawless fielding chances). 

Sophomore first baseman Jacob Pech led Compton in hits this season (48) and batted .316 with two home runs and 25 RBI. Freshman infielder Quincy Quintero, who appeared in 23 games, topped the team with a .410 batting average. Sophomore infielder Isaac Vega hit .310 with 19 RBI and led the squad in stolen bases with 13. 

Freshman Gabriel Lizarraga led the pitching staff in wins (4-3 record) while Ramirez (3-6 and two saves) was the team's ace in hurling team highs in innings (86.2), appearances with 17, starts with 13, and strikeouts with 66. Sophomore Joseph Giunta had a team-best 3.71 ERA (minimum 50 innings).

The team highlights were many, including a 3-game sweep of its series v. defending conference champion El Camino, a team that placed fifth and made the SoCal Regional Playoffs this season. In the series played Feb. 27-March 2, all of the wins were 1-run games, including a 4-3, 11-inning, walk-off triumph when Ringwood drew a bases-loaded walk. 

All the more remarkable is that Compton had not defeated El Camino in conference play since the 2013 season, a stretch of 24 games. 

Compton also stopped a head-to-head, 15-game losing streak v. Pasadena City (SCC fourth place) in an 11-4 win on April 9. Pech hit a 2-run homer and drove in four runs. 

On April 18, Compton knocked off second-place Long Beach City, 11-1. Pech and Vega each collected three hits in that victory. LBCC was the #8 and PCC the #16 seeds in this week's SoCal Regionals.

The team won South Coast series over both East Los Angeles and Rio Hondo, each 2-games-to-1. Against ELAC on March 14, the team rallied from 8-0 down to win 11-10. Pech and sophomore Jose Contreras each slugged home runs while sophomore Arturo Gonzalez was the hero with four RBI, including a 2-run triple to give Compton the lead for good in the seventh inning. 

Compton won four of its last six games, capping the regular season with a 14-2, non-conference win over Ventura on April 27. Freshman outfielder Deegan Grgas hit a 3-run double in the fifth inning and Vega also knocked in three runs.
