The Ventura County Baseball Coaches Association unveiled its annual all‑county teams this week, assembling the region’s most accomplished high school players into first and second squads.
Carson Sheffer, a senior at Oaks Christian and an Oklahoma State commit, led the Marmonte League co‑champions with a .440 batting average, 14 doubles, three triples, five home runs, 36 runs scored and 24 RBIs.
Dusty Dunwoody, a Royal High senior headed to Arizona, posted a 10‑0 record with a 0.22 ERA and struck out 115 batters in 64.1 innings, earning top pitcher honors.
The first team includes five pitchers, three catchers, eight infielders, five outfielders and a designated hitter/utility player, reflecting a balanced mix of talent across the county.
The All‑Academic Team recognized 22 players for excellence in the classroom, while Royal High’s squad maintained a 4.21 team GPA, underscoring the league’s emphasis on scholarship.
Coaches and community leaders praised the selections as a testament to the growing strength of high school baseball in Ventura County, highlighting the blend of athletic skill and academic discipline.
Standout Performances
Sheffer’s .440 average not only topped the league but also placed him among the most consistent hitters in the region, while his defensive contributions helped Oaks Christian secure a co‑championship.
Dunwoody’s dominance on the mound was equally striking; his sub‑0.30 ERA and high strikeout total signaled a rare combination of control and power for a high school pitcher.
The All‑Academic honor roll celebrates scholars who excel in the classroom, with Royal High’s team posting a collective GPA that reflects disciplined performance in both arenas.
Local officials and parents alike view the selections as a promising sign for future competitiveness in regional and state tournaments.
