A season of growth and achievement
Logan Brooks arrived at the plate as an undersized freshman, but by the time the final inning of his senior year rolled around, his .487 batting average, 11 home runs and 50 RBIs spoke louder than any size limitation. The Daily Breeze recognized his relentless improvement and named him the All‑Area Player of the Year for 2025‑26, a tribute to a journey that blended raw talent with hard‑earned confidence.
On the mound, Kai Van Scoyoc of Palos Verdes proved equally dominant, finishing the season with a 6‑2 record and a 0.99 ERA. His precision and composure earned him the Pitcher of the Year honor, and the left‑hander will continue his career at USC, where he hopes to translate his high school success into collegiate impact.
Leadership off the field
Andy Diver, the mastermind behind Mira Costa’s CIF‑Southern Section Division 3 championship run, was celebrated as Coach of the Year. Under his guidance the team fused discipline with camaraderie, turning a promising roster into a title‑contending squad. Diver’s emphasis on mentorship extended beyond the diamond, shaping the personal growth of each player.
The All‑Area first, second and third teams round out a season that will be remembered for its competitive balance and community spirit. From emerging freshmen to seasoned seniors, the honorees reflect the depth of talent that continues to emerge from the South Bay baseball landscape.
