For Ridgefield's Johnny Stamatis the accolades keep coming

Ridgefield High School graduate (2015) and Trinity College (Hartford, CT) Baseball senior captain Johnny Stamatis is having a big week!

His college career might be coming to a close at Trinity College's graduation this weekend, but Stamatis still has a few baseball games to play as a Bantam as part of the Div. III NCAA Regional Tournament. See schedule here.

Stamatis was also one of only 13 elite spring student-athletes in the New England Small College Athletic Conference named to an All-NESCAC Team, the NESCAC Spring All-Academic Team, and the All-Sportsmanship Team.

Stamatis is a 2019 All-NESCAC Baseball Second Team select for the second time. In 2016, his rookie season, he was also selected to the All-NESCAC Second Team. To receive NESCAC All-Academic recognition, an individual must have reached sophomore academic standing and be a varsity letter winner with a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.40. Stamatis is a two-time NESCAC All-Academic honoree. The All-Sportsmanship Team recognizes student-athletes who exhibit respect for themselves, teammates, coaches, opponents, and spectators. They display sportsmanship not only as a participant in their sport but also as a spectator and in their everyday lives.

This season, Stamatis is batting .298 (34-for-114) with eight doubles, two triples, two homers, 40 runs (2nd on team), 29 RBI (3rd on team), a team-high 29 walks, a .456 slugging percentage and a .448 on-base percentage in 34 games as Trinity's first baseman. He set new Trinity records  this season with 30 stolen bases this spring and 49 swipes in his career. 

Additionally, Stamatis was recently named to the 2019 Google Cloud Academic All-District Baseball Team, selected by CoSIDA. The 2019 Google Cloud Academic All-District teams recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom.
