Captains, Team Awards Revealed

HANOVER, N.H. — Dartmouth head baseball coach Bob Whalen announced the captains for the 2012 season at the team's end-of-year barbecue last night, with rising seniors Joe Sclafani and Cole Sulser earning the nod from their teammates to lead the Big Green in their quest for a fifth straight Rolfe Division title and a third Ivy League crown in four years.
Coach Whalen also handed out the team awards for the 2011 campaign with Sclafani garnering both the team MVP and Offensive Player of the Year awards. Others that received awards were: Kyle Hendricks as the Pitcher of the Year for the second time in his career; Jeff Keller as the Rookie of the Year; David Turnbull as the Most Improved; Jeff Onstott for the James Henry Cooke Award; and Max Langford as the Teammate of the Year for a second straight season.
Sclafani (Palm City, Fla.) ranks among the Ivy League's top 10 in 10 different offensive categories and led the loop in assists from his position at shortstop. The switch-hitter hit .349 on the season with four home runs and 34 RBIs while topping the conference with 60 hits and eight triples, the latter breaking a school record that stood for 73 years. His 100 total bases were the second most in the league, which gave him the fourth-best slugging percentage (.581), and he posted a .414 on-base percentage making him the league's premier lead-off hitter. At the conclusion of the season, he was chosen by the Ivy League coaches to the all-conference first team for the second time in his career.
On the mound, Hendricks (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) was as dominant as anyone in the Ivy League with a 2.47 ERA (third in the conference) and 70 strikeouts (tied for second) in 62.0 innings of work. The rising senior is tied for the conference lead with five victories, his final win coming in the second game of the Ivy Championship Series at Princeton. Opponents hit just .236 against him, and three times the right-hander was chosen as the Ivy League Pitcher of the Week, once garnering National Player of the Week honors for striking out 15 batters over seven innings against Army back on March 18.
Keller (Atherton, Calif.) came to Dartmouth as an outfielder but was pressed into duty as the Big Green third baseman. The freshman flourished there, finishing the season with a .321 average, .402 on-base percentage and .548 slugging percentage. Limited to 27 games due to a mid-season injury, Keller still managed to collect nine doubles, a pair of triples and two home runs while driving in 20 runs. Both of his triples came in the same game, tying a school record.
A part-time starter a year ago, Turnbull (St. Louis, Mo.) was the regular right fielder in 2011, posting a .279 average and 19 RBIs while playing flawlessly in the field. In this his junior campaign, he posted nine multi-hit games in 37 starts, including a four-hit game against UMBC during the spring trip to Florida.
Onstott (Houston, Texas) was the deserving winner of the James Henry Cooke Award, given to the four-year letterwinner who has done the most for Big Green baseball during his career. A switch-hitter, Onstott finished his career having played more games (168) than any other Dartmouth player before and ranks among the program's top 10 in career at-bats (626, 2nd), walks (78, fourth), triples (11, fifth), hits (188, sixth), runs (119, seventh) and RBIs (117, seventh). This year the second baseman earned a spot on the All-Ivy Second Team for the second time in his career, hitting .268 with 10 doubles, four triples, three homers, and 33 RBIs.
Langford once again earned his Teammate of the Year award, being one of the first on the field and always the last to leave it. No task was too small for the right-handed pitcher, even when he was pressed into duty as a defensive replacement at third base on two occasions when the roster was depleted by injuries. On the mound the junior appeared in eight contests and posted a solid 3.46 ERA over 13 innings. Dartmouth picked up a win in seven of his eight outings, including his lone start at Hartford in which he earned the victory by allowing no earned runs over five frames with four strikeouts.
