Academic All‑District Honors Celebrate Dual Excellence
The College Sports Communicators announced this week that five members of the Pacific baseball roster have been selected for the 2026 Academic All‑District Team, a distinction that highlights both athletic contribution and scholarly achievement.
Selection criteria demand that each honoree maintain a cumulative GPA of at least 3.50 and have participated in at least 90 percent of their team’s games, underscoring the program’s emphasis on well‑rounded student‑athletes.
Eligibility Standards
Pitchers and other position players faced additional benchmarks, required to appear in a minimum of 17 games or log 35 innings, ensuring that statistical relevance accompanies academic rigor.
Notably, each school is limited to five representatives on the All‑District lists, a rule that makes the Pacific cohort’s inclusion all the more competitive.
Meet the Honorees
Among the honorees are Nicholas Saelens, Governor Aufranc, Benjamin Lewis, Will Shelor and Trevor Kazahaya, whose combined performances have reinforced the team’s reputation on and off the field.
