Stamos, a media studies major with a 3.61 GPA, has appeared in 18 games including two starts. His 28 strikeouts are a career high. He served as the opener in each of his last two appearances, pitching a combined three innings and striking out six over that stretch.
Cal has had at least two baseball student-athletes earn spots on the Academic All-District® team in each of the past four years.
Becerra, Stamos, and their fellow All-District® honorees advance to the CSC Academic All-America® ballot. First-, second-, and third-team Academic All-America® honorees will be announced in June.
