The Sharks will honor three graduating seniors before tomorrow’s game against St. Bonaventure. Jacob Perrin, Nate Schoenbrun, and Stephen Williams have a combined 688 plate appearances in Malibu High School varsity baseball games. Collectively, they have scored 152 runs and driven in another 117 runs.
Schoenbrun will be remembered as a fleet-footed and sure-handed center fielder in the mold of two players who wore #11 before him–Jace Dispenza and Daniel Williams. He also provided solid starting pitching as a junior and senior. His 3.50 ERA in 2007 was the best on the Sharks’ pitching staff. On March 3, 2007, Schoenbrun pitched a complete game at Marshall High, picking up a 6-2 win.
Perrin has been the mainstay of the Malibu High pitching staff for the past three years, starting 18 of the team’s 70 games since the beginning of the 2006 season. He has a career record to this point of 11 wins and 7 losses with 3 saves. Two weeks ago, Perrin pitched the Sharks’ first complete-game shutout in over three years, a 5-0 victory over Oaks Christian. Offensively, Perrin has a .314 career batting average. He has scored 53 runs over the past three season.
Williams has played in 83 varsity games since 2005. He has a career .408 batting average with 13 home runs and 75 RBIs. His career slugging percentage is .718 and his career on-base percentage is .540. He has been hit by pitch 20 times–or once in every 14 plate appearances.
Behind all of the numbers that Schoenbrun, Perrin, and Williams have put up in Malibu High varsity baseball games have been countless pitches and at bats in American Legion games, fall ball games, scout league games, and off-season tournament games over the past four years. Thank you, gentlemen, for all of your hard work and for all of your contributions to the success of the Sharks. It’s been a pleasure to watch you play.
