Florida Tech’s Academic All-District Stars Shine on and Off the Field
Meet the Two Panthers Who Just Made the Ranks
Two members of Florida Tech’s baseball squad snagged shiny spots on the College Sports Communications (CSC) Academic All‑District team—Trenten Anderson and Jacob Pino. That’s right, the duo’s grit in the classroom has paid off big time.
Why It Matters
Being named to the All‑District team isn’t just bragging rights; it’s a passport to the CSC Academic All‑America ballot. First‑, second‑, and third‑team honorees will have their names announced in mid‑April, and the competition there is fierce. But for now, the Panthers can bask in the glow of their dual‑achievements.
- Trenten Anderson – Graduate student, Environmental Resource Management major, GPA 3.75. Second time in a row earning All‑District.
- Jacob Pino – Junior, Chemical Engineering major, GPA 3.50. First time on the All‑District stage.
Stats‑Slam on a Pitcher’s Field
Pitcher‑life can get hectic, but these guys kept it clean. Here’s the low‑down:
- Anderson: 55.2 innings pitched, 39 strikeouts (career high), 3.40 ERA, one win, one save.
- Pino: 68 innings, 42 strikeouts, four wins (team tie‑leader), 5.29 ERA. He even stole the show with a 2‑0 shutout against #4 Florida Southern and a 4‑3 win over #21 Rollins after an extra‑inning sprint.
Pitcher of the Week Highlights
Pino earned “Pitcher of the Week” honors after throwing a two‑hit, zero‑run masterpiece that stunned both the stats board and his opponents. That’s the kind of performance that keeps trophy cabinets full.
Looking Ahead: The Team Wants a Splash Next Season
After ending this season 24‑24 overall and 13‑17 in the Sunshine State Conference, the Panthers are geared up to ride that momentum. With newly minted Academic All‑District champs on the roster, there’s a surge of confidence swarming the dugout.
Bottom Line
Trenten Anderson and Jacob Pino have left no doubt that hard work, both academically and athletically, pays off. Their new jerseys aren’t just a boost of morale—they’re a testament that talent with a textbook smile makes the perfect game plan. Go Panthers!
