HANOVER, N.H. — The Dartmouth baseball team awards were handed out at the annual end-of-year team banquet with Matt Parisi taking two of the seven awards. Head coach Bob Whalen also announced that Thomas Roulis, an infielder who sat out the season due to an injury, and pitcher Duncan Robinson will serve as senior co-captains for the 2016 season.
A native of Clermont, Florida, Parisi garnered both the team MVP and the Offensive Player of the Year Award. The shortstop concluded his career with the Big Green by leading the team with a .321 batting average, 51 hits, 17 doubles and 26 runs scored while making the first team for All-Ivy League and All-New England. In league play, Parisi led Ivy hitters with 12 two-baggers and rapped out a .356 batting average, scoring 15 runs in 19 games. To add to his MVP candidacy, the slick fielder fielded 81 chances flawlessly in conference play and finished the year with a .960 fielding percentage overall while recording a league-high 115 assists. In his four years in Hanover, Parisi hit .306 with 31 doubles, five homers, 82 runs and 50 RBIs over 136 games.
It came as a surprise to no one that Robinson was named the Big Green's Pitcher of the Year. The Houston, Texas, native was chosen as the Ivy League Pitcher of the Year as well for tying for the league lead with six victories while posting a 2.62 ERA, the fifth-lowest mark among Ivy hurlers. He finished the year second in the league with 65.1 innings, second in strikeout-to-walk ratio (4.3), third in strikeouts (52), fifth in walks allowed per nine innings (1.7) and eighth in batting average against (.247). In conference play only, he went 4-1 with a miniscule 1.31 ERA, striking out 29 while walking only two batters. In his 10 starts, he allowed two or fewer earned runs eight times, including his final seven outings and his season debut when he shut out nationally ranked Texas A&M on two hits over five innings of work.
Freshman Patrick Peterson, an All-Ivy League First Team selection and Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American as a relief pitcher, was chosen as the team's Rookie of the Year. The right-hander from Glen Ellyn, Illinois, recorded a win or save in 10 of his 13 appearances on the mound with a 4-0 record and six saves with a 3.76 ERA. In 26.1 innings, opponents hit .258 against him as he walked just eight and struck out 24.
Taking home the squad's Most Improved Player award was sophomore outfielder Ben Socher out of Vienna, Virginia. As a rookie last year, the lefty had just 19 at-bats and hit .158. This year he won a starting role in left field and flourished with a .273 average and 20 runs while tying for the team lead with six stolen bases in 34 starts.
Senior Nick Lombardi claimed the team's oldest honor, the James H. Cooke Award, which is bestowed upon the four-year letterwinner who has done the most for Big Green baseball during his career. The third baseman from Saugus, California, started nearly every game at third base in his four years and finished his career ninth at Dartmouth with 115 RBIs. He hit .267 in 159 games with 34 doubles, 11 homers and 84 runs scored while manning the hot corner with a .947 fielding percentage, which included a 58-game errorless streak during his freshman and sophomore campaigns.
Finally, senior Jay Graham was chosen as Dartmouth's Teammate of the Year. A walk-on as a freshman, Graham earned his keep with his work ethic and flexibility on the diamond. The native of McLean, Virginia, filled in at both corner infield positions during his career, and even provided a few innings on the mound when needed, picking up a win during his junior year. In the final Ivy League game of the 2015 season, he served as the team's designated hitter and rapped out three hits, including the first and only home run of his career.
