Former Malibu stars Jaime Ballesteros and Luke Beck are having standout seasons at the junior college level. Ballesteros finished the regular season with a .403 batting average (tied for 24th in the state among junior college players) for Compton College. He also had five homeruns and 33 RBIs.
Beck, named Co-Player of the Year in the Orange Empire Conference, hit .373 with five homeruns and 34 RBIs for Orange Coast College during the regular season. A starter in the outfield all season, Beck has also been a very effective closer for the Pirates. Through May 22 (including playoff games), he has compiled a 2-1 won-loss record with nine saves in 16 appearances. Opponents are hitting just .176 against him.
Beck will be playing with Orange Coast College for the state title next weekend (May 28-30) in Fresno.

Also of note, Luke was named a Southern California All-American, and Jaime was named to the All Southern California Team. Congratulations to both on their hard work and continued success, and good luuck in next week's draft.
