DeLucas, Llorente become first Lycoming baseball players to earn all-region honors

WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – Senior Danny DeLucas (Whittier, Calif./La Serna) and junior A.J. Llorente (Williamsport, Pa./Montoursville Area) became the first Lycoming College baseball players to earn all-region honors, as DeLucas earned first-team honors as an outfielder from the American Baseball Coaches Association and second-team honors from D3baseball.com and Llorente earned second-team honors as a utility man from D3baseball.com, the organizations announced on Tuesday, May 27.
 
DeLucas, who was also a First Team All-Landmark Conference outfielder, finished second in the Landmark Conference with a .410 (64-for-156) batting average, the highest for the Warriors since the program was reinstated in 2023. He was also second in the league in hits, as he recorded a school-record 64, and he finished 11th in the league with a school-record 38 runs scored. DeLucas also added 10 doubles, a homer and 24 RBI, plus the outfielder stole nine bases.
 
Llorente earned Second Team All-Landmark Conference honors as both a pitcher and at the utility slot. On the mound, he went 4-2 with a 4.11 ERA. He tossed 57 innings, striking out 41 and allowing just 13 walks. He was even better in Landmark play, going 4-1 with a 2.58 ERA in 38.1 innings. He notched three quality starts throughout the season, including tossing 7 2/3 innings of three-hit shutout baseball against Drew. In the field, the designated hitter and first baseman finished third on the team with a .338 (49-for-145) average, hitting three homers and driving in 22. He scored 27 runs and also drilled seven doubles.
 
The Warriors finished 21-21 overall and 12-12 in the Landmark Conference under third-year head coach Rick Oliveri, as the team won a school-record 21 games and appeared in the postseason for the first time, earning the No. 5 seed in the conference championship.
