Cal State San Bernardino's baseball team, seeking to fill out its 2008-09 squad after the departure of 16 seniors, has signed three more solid recruits, Head Coach
Don Parnell announced Wednesday.
Joining the Coyotes will be right-handed pitcher Andrew Schile from Chaffey College, Cody Madison, an infielder from Riverside Community College and Ethan Chapman from Upland Christian High School.
Schile posted a 9-3 record with the Panthers in 2008, leading them to a 30-9 season and a third straight Foothill Conference title. He posted a 2.94 earned run average with 46 strikeouts in 64 innings and limited opposing hitters to an overall batting average of .212.
He was chosen the Foothill Conference pitcher of the year. Schile is a graduate of A.B. Miller High School in Fontana.
Parnell, faced with replacing the bulk of his pitching staff, has already signed pitchers Dan Stenavich (all-Southern California first-team selection) and Jorge Dryjanski from Pacific Coast Conference champion Southwestern College along with lefthanders Kevin McLaughry and Garret Nelson from Grossmont College.
Madison batted .329 for Riverside Community College this past season with two home runs and 32 runs batted in and a .419 on-base percentage on a team that went 34-20 and made it to the state championship tournament. He had a .976 fielding percentage.
Chapman comes to CSUSB after an impressive high school career at Upland Christian that saw him earn all-league four times, all-CIF Southern Section honors twice, as well as prep all-America.
He was the 2007 CIF player of the year in his division as Upland Christian won the section championship and was the Arrowhead League offensive player of the year in 2007 and 2008. He batted .685 as a senior with eight home runs, 74 RBI and 30 stolen bases in 33 attempts.
Chapman led his team to a 19-11 season (12-0 in league) and a second straight appearance in the CIF championship game. In his 92 at bats over 30 games, he had 63 hits, 16 doubles, 10 triples and a slugging percentage 1.337. His on-base percentage was .723. He plays for the Southern California Bombers in travel ball.
He pitched 10 innings of relief, allowing no earned runs and striking out 12 in five appearances with one save.
Other CSUSB baseball recruits to date include Aaron Brooks, an all-CIF and all-area pitcher-infielder from Cajon High School in San Bernardino; Andrew Harrison, a slugging first baseman from Norte Vista HS in Riverside; Matt Winn, an outfielder from Canyon Springs HS in Moreno Valley; Darren Dworak, an infielder from Damien HS in LaVerne and Ken Othman, a catcher from Martin Luther King HS in Riverside.
