Trio of UL Stars, Tulane’s Hoese, LSU’s Duplantis Highlight LSWA Baseball Team

Posted by Raymond Partsch III on June 23, 2019 in Blogs, RP3's Blogs

LAFAYETTE – Tulane All-American Kody Hoese has been named the Louisiana Sports Writers Association’s Hitter of the Year.

The Green Wave star, and first-round draft pick of the Los Angeles Dodgers, led the LSWA All-Louisiana College Baseball Team which was released on Saturday night. The 28-member team, which features three University of Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns, was selected by a statewide panel of college baseball sports information directors and media members.

Hoese was one of two members for the Green Wave to earn individual honors with Hudson Haskin tabbed as Freshman of the Year. Southeastern Louisiana’s Corey Gaconi was named Pitcher of the Year, UL Monroe outfielder Trent Tingelstad was voted as the LSWA Newcomer of the Year and second-year skipper Kerrick Jackson of Southern University was the overwhelming choice as the state’s Coach of the Year.

The fifth consensus All-American in Tulane baseball history and the first since Brian Bogusevic in 2005, Hoese had a triple crown season for the Green Wave, leading the team with a .391 average, 23 home runs and 61 RBI. He led the American Athletic Conference, and was ranked in the top-20 nationally, in seven offensive categories while his 23 home runs were the second-most in a single season in school history.

Gaconi, a Metairie native and Brother Martin alum, added to his list of postseason accolades after being selected as the 2019 Southland Conference Pitcher of the Year and first-team Central All-Region. The right-hander finished the year for the Lions with a 7-3 record and a 2.57 ERA, holding opponents to a .244 batting average while striking out 95 batters in 108.2 innings of work. 

Tingelstad, a junior from Marysville, Wash., led ULM with a .353 batting average while adding 19 doubles, four triples, seven home runs and 46 RBI. He capped his first season with the Warhawks with a strong showing at the Sun Belt Conference Tournament, which included a career-high seven RBIs in an 18-5 win over UT Arlington.

Haskin, a freshman All-America by both Collegiate Baseball and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association, ended the season for the Green Wave with a .372 average with 77 hits, including 19 doubles, four triples and 10 home runs.

Faced with the monumental task of replacing a legend in the dugout in Roger Cador, all Jackson did in his second year was serve as the architect of a remarkable turnaround for the Jaguars, going from nine wins in 2018 to a 32-24 record and its first SWAC Baseball championship in a decade.

The SWAC Coach of the Year guided Southern to a 17-6 record in league play, claiming the program’s first divisional title since 2012, while landing six players on the All-SWAC team and producing the league’s Player of the Year (Tyler LaPorter).

Saul Garza of LSU served as the battery mate to the first-team pitching list with Hoese highlighting a first-team infield that included Louisiana Tech’s Mason Mallard (first base), Nate Fisbeck of McNeese (second base) and LSU shortstop Josh Smith.

LSU senior outfielder and former Lafayette High star Antoine Duplantis, who broke Eddy Furniss’ school-record for hits in a career (359), was the lone repeat first-team selection and was joined in the outfield by Haskin and Southern’s Javeyan Williams. Logan Constantine of LSU Alexandria was a repeat selection as a utility player, after earning second-team honors in 2018, with UL’s Todd Lott named as the first-team designated hitter.

The second team featured the first-ever selections for both two-year programs – LSU Eunice (pitcher Dane Dixon and outfielder Tristan Welch) and Bossier Parish Community College (catcher Adrian Minjares).

The McNeese duo of Aidan Anderson and freshman Will Dion, along with LSU Alexandria’s Clayton Doyle joined Dixon on the mound with Jordan Trahan of LSU Shreveport (first base), ULM’s Chad Bell (third base) and UL’s middle infield duo of Hunter Kasuls (second base) and Hayden Cantrelle (shortstop) rounding out the infield.

Tingelstad was joined on the second team outfield by Welch and LSU’s Zach Watson – a 2018 second-team All-Louisiana pick. ULM’s Andrew Beesley was tabbed as a second-team utility player with Clayton Rasbeary of McNeese selected at designated hitter.

Honorable mention selections included the LSU tandem of Devin Fontenot (pitcher) and Cade Beloso (designated hitter), pitchers Andrew Sheridan of LSU Eunice and Braxton Smith of Louisiana Tech, Grambling catcher Drexler Macaay, outfielder Grant Mathews of Tulane, Louisiana College utility player Deauton Delgado and Loyola pitcher/outfielder Michael Toscano.
