All-Sentinel Baseball Team

With early July comes another edition of the All-Sentinel baseball team. This year's crop appears in The Sentinel on July 3.

Camp Hill ace Matt Spiegel is the Player of the Year for the second consecutive season. The Lions' coach, Brad Shover, picked up his second Coach of the Year award for delivering the school its third baseball title. Cumberland Valley's Mike Whitehead Jr., with three Coach of the Year awards, is the only area coach with more than Shover.

Taking a look inside the roster, we only have four juniors on the first team. The Northern tandem of Sam Crater and Jake Warner are joined by Jeff Goyette of Trinity and Red Land ace Nick Chester. Power-hitting Bobby Kohl of Susquenita is the only sophomore to make the first team. (We omitted Kohl from the initial post. Kohl's year is correct in both the print version and below).

Juniors on the second team include L.K. Thompson and Matt Robertson of Camp Hill and Joey D'Agostino of Cumberland Valley. Susquenita pitcher Taylor Nace is the lone sophomore on either rosters.

Robertson and second team designated hitter Hank Sanders moved from first-team picks last year to the second team. Robertson suffered through a wrist injury that limited his production while Sanders was hurt by switching positions. Sanders likely would have been named first team as a first baseman but moved to catcher, arguably the deepest position in the area.

Bobby Kohl is also not a senior on the first team, just to correct you

To not include Matt Boyd from Camp Hill is a travesty. He's just as good as Spiegel and better than many of the other pitchers who made it. He was 9-1 this year with the second best ERA in the area against many strong opponents.
