Torgersen and Sullivan earned spots on the first team
HANOVER, N.H. — The Ivy League office announced its all-conference baseball teams this afternoon with four Dartmouth players being honored, including seniors Sean Sullivan and Steffen Torgersen on the first team.
Hailing from Shoreline, Washington, Torgersen was a unanimous selection at third base, starting all 41 games while leading the Big Green with a .344 average (seventh in the Ivy League), .438 on-base percentage (sixth), four triples (tied for third) and 11 hit by pitches (tied for first). He also sported a team-best 117 assists in the field as he displayed tremendous range with a stellar .965 fielding percentage. Torgersen had 52 hits with 15 multi-hit games from the left side of the plate, including six three-hit contests and another with four to tie a career high, and he set another personal high-water mark with five RBIs in a 15-7 victory over the eventual champion, Harvard. In conference play, Torgersen ranked third with a .400 batting average and fourth with a .463 OBP. The team MVP wrapped up his career with a .306 average and .387 OBP in 96 games and 268 at-bats to go with a .969 fielding percentage almost exlusively at the hot corner.
The Big Green leadoff hitter and second baseman for most of the season, Sullivan was a catalyst for Dartmouth both at the plate and in the field. The native of Hopedale, Massachusetts, hit .301 on the season (.324 in league play) while posting a .395 on-base percentage (.424) and scoring 24 runs overall, 20 of which came in the 16 conference games that he played. Sullivan led the team in walks with 22 for the second straight year and even drove in 17 runs at the top of the lineup. He also reached base in 21 of his last 22 games before an injury sidelined him for the final six contests. At his keystone position, he posted a .987 fielding percentage with just two miscues and had a hand in turning 19 double plays. Sullivan finished his career with a .312 career average and a .417 OBP in nearly 300 at-bats to go with a .986 fielding percentage.
Earning a spot on the second team was senior Matt Feinstein from Old Brookville, New York. A four-year starter in the outfield for the Big Green, Feinstein hit .321 on the season, leading the team in hits (54), runs (32) and total bases (88) while swatting 10 doubles, three triples and six home runs for a slugging percentage of .524. He posted a team-high 18 multi-hit games while hitting safely in 34 of the 41 contests. With runners in scoring position, Feinstein hit a robust .390 and drove in a career-high five runs in a 23-1 shellacking of Columbia. An honorable mention a year ago, he finished his career with a .306 average and 11th all-time at Dartmouth with 176 hits.
Max Hunter, a sophomore southpaw from St. Louis, Missouri, was named an honorable mention as a reliever. All 20 of his appearances — leading the Ivy League — came out of the bullpen as he posted a 1-0 record with four saves and a 3.98 ERA while holding opponents to a .165 batting average in 31.2 innings of work. His first collegiate victory came early in the season when he struck out a career-high six batters in just three innings, allowing only an unearned run on one hit. Hunter picked up his first save in the season opener, then saved three more in conference play. Over his final four outings, he threw 6.2 scoreless innings as just one hitter reached base.
Harvard junior outfielder Jake Suddleson was named the Ivy League Player of the Year, Penn junior right-hander Christian Scafidi the Pitcher of the Year and Penn shortstop Josh Hood a unanimous choice as the Rookie of the Year. Bill Decker picked up Coach of the Year honors after leading Harvard to its first Ivy League title in 14 years.
