SAN BRUNO, Calif. — After engineering the most stunning midseason turnaround in program history and leading San Diego baseball to a second consecutive WCC Regular-Season Championship, Brock Ungricht has been named the 2025 WCC Coach of The Year, Cal Scolari has been named the 2025 WCC Pitcher of the Year, and catcher Jayden Lobliner has been named the 2025 WCC Defensive Player of the Year, the West Coast Conference announced on Tuesday morning.

Ungricht, Scolari, and Lobliner headlined a flurry of end-of-year conference awards for USD that saw four Toreros named to the 2025 All-WCC First Team, three selected to the 2025 All-WCC Second Team, two earn 2025 All-WCC Honorable Mentions, and three pick up 2025 All-WCC Freshman Team nods.

For Ungricht, it's his second straight WCC Coach of the Year honor after also being recognized in 2024. He's the first WCC coach to win the award in back-to-back seasons since Gonzaga's Mark Machtolf in 2021 and 2022, and the first USD skipper to do so since Rich Hill in 2007 and 2008. 2025 marks the eighth time that San Diego has received the WCC Coach of the Year award.

After playing the 11th most difficult non-conference schedule in the country, Ungricht rallied his team from a 6-24 start to post a 19-5 record in WCC play, at one point recording 10 wins in a row en-route to a second straight regular-season conference crown. His team won seven consecutive conference series to close out its schedule, including four sweeps of WCC foes. The Toreros enter Thursday afternoon's WCC Tournament opener having won 19 of their last 24 games.

Scolari needed just one season to establish himself as the premier pitcher in the West Coast Conference, posting a 4-1 record across eight conference starts and 39.1 WCC innings. The redshirt freshman right-hander struck out 39 WCC batters and limited opposing conference hitters to a .200 batting average. His emergence as a top-tier talent on the mound was crucial in San Diego's postseason push; he posted five straight starts of five innings or more to conclude the 2025 regular-season, four of which saw him allow three runs or less. Scolari, who secured both WCC Pitcher of the Week (May 5) and WCC Freshman of the Week (May 12) recognition this season, was also selected to the All-WCC First Team. He is just the fifth Torero to be named WCC Pitcher of the Year, and the program's first since David Hill in 2015.

Lobliner earned both WCC Defensive Player of the Year and All-WCC Second Team recognition in his first season as a Torero. The Kansas State transfer became the second consecutive USD player (Ariel Armas, 2024) and second Torero ever to win the WCC Defensive Player of the Year award after posting a .992 fielding percentage with only three errors behind the dish while throwing out runners trying to steal on 15 occasions.

He started every conference game for USD, hitting .298/.353/.532 with 17 runs scored, seven doubles, five home runs, and 18 RBI's.

Austin Smith was selected to the All-WCC First Team after a strong season both at the plate and on the mound. The senior lefty ranked fifth in the league with a .398 (33-for-83) batting average in conference play alongside 10 doubles, three home runs, and 27 RBIs. He posted. 2-1 record and a team-high three saves while pitching against WCC teams, striking out 24 batters across 19.1 innings while holding opposing hitters to a .222 batting average. He was named to the All-WCC Second Team in 2023 and to the All-WCC First Team and All-WCC Tournament Team in 2024. On April 7, he was named the WCC Co-Player of the Week.

Infielder Jack Gurevitch joined Smith and Scolari on the All-WCC First Team after batting .380 (38-for-100) across all 24 league games with 30 runs scored, seven doubles, one triple, seven home runs, 30 RBIs, 18 walks, and two stolen bases. This is Gurevitch's third end-of-year conference honor after being selected to the All-WCC Freshman Team in 2023 and the All-WCC Second Team in 2024. He was named the WCC Player of the Week on April 21.

Reddemann built off of his 2024 WCC Freshman of the Year selection by earning a spot on the 2025 All-WCC First Team. The sophomore righty appeared in five games on the mound in conference play, compiling a 3-0 record and 2.48 ERA across 29 innings while holding opponents to a .215 batting average and striking out 22. His 2.48 ERA was the third-lowest in the WCC and the 15th-lowest nationally. Reddemann received two WCC Pitcher of the Week honors in 2025 (March 10 and April 21).

Shortstop Isaiah Lane was named to the All-WCC Second Team after batting .358 (29-for-81) across 21 league games with 22 runs scored, seven doubles, four home runs, 14 RBIs, 10 walks, and two stolen bases.

Outfielder Rex Watson took the league by storm in his first college season, garnering both All-WCC Second Team and All-WCC Freshman Team honors after batting . 337 (31-for-92) with 20 runs scored, three doubles, a triple, six home runs. He was named the WCC Freshman of the Week on March 17 and April 14.

Junior Infielder Connor Meidroth picked up an All-WCC Honorable Mention by batting .347 (25-for-72) in conference games with 22 runs scored, seven doubles, a triple, a home run, and 14 RBIs along with 12 walks.

Right-handed pitcher Andrew Mosiello received an All-WCC Honorable Mention alongside Meidroth after posting a minuscule 1.29 ERA in WCC play. The graduate student surrendered just three runs across 21 conference innings as he earned two wins and picked up two saves while striking out 29.

Infielder Adrian Beltre Jr. joined Watson and Scolari on the All-WCC Freshman Team after a strong college debut, one in which he batted .295 (18-for-61) in conference games with 16 runs scored, three doubles, three home runs, and 19 RBIs.

The Toreros will begin their WCC Tournament title defense on Thursday afternoon at Las Vegas Ballpark.
