Team 22: baseball<br />
Welcome to 22nd Century Media’s All-Area team: Team 22. Thanks to help from area coaches and<br />
the eyes of 22nd Century Media staff, the best players were selected from six high schools — New<br />
Trier (NT), Loyola Academy (LA), Glenbrook North (GBN), Glenbrook South (GBS), Lake Forest (<strong>LF</strong>)<br />
and Highland Park (HP) — in our coverage area.<br />
FIRST TEAM<br />
Catcher<br />
Cam Redding, NT junior<br />
• Redding hit .422 during<br />
his junior season, helping<br />
the Trevians to an extended<br />
playoff run. He finished the<br />
year with 26 RBI and an<br />
on-base percentage that<br />
hovered a shade below<br />
.500.<br />
First Base<br />
Anthony Calcaro, NT junior<br />
• The Northwestern University<br />
commit hit .356 with an<br />
OPS of 1.091 this season,<br />
solidified the defense at first<br />
base and also helped New<br />
Trier out on the mound.<br />
Second Base<br />
Henry Singer, HP senior<br />
• Singer led the Giants<br />
in hitting during the 2017<br />
campaign, batting .418<br />
with 23 stolen bases and<br />
an on-base percentage of<br />
.586. The Central Suburban<br />
League All-Conference<br />

salutatorian for HPHS this<br />
year.<br />

Second Base<br />
Thomas Witty, GBN<br />
senior<br />
Third Base<br />
Cameron Pauly, GBS senior<br />
• Team MVP Pauly did it all<br />
for the Titans in 2017. The<br />
CSL All-Conference selection<br />
moved from shortstop to<br />
third base when needed,<br />
hit a team-leading .382 and<br />
scored 20 runs. He became<br />
the team’s closer during the<br />
season as well.<br />
Outfield<br />
Tyler Gussis, HP junior<br />
• Gussis hit .353 this<br />
season with a team-high<br />
30 RBI and helped the<br />
Giants to a CSL North<br />
Championship. He scored<br />
23 times and his patience<br />
was on full display with 20<br />
walks.<br />
Shortstop<br />
Caleb Durbin, <strong>LF</strong> junior<br />
• Durbin hit a ridiculous .500<br />
for the Scouts this season in<br />
100 at-bats and had eight<br />
doubles, three triples and two<br />
home runs. He successfully<br />
stole 29 bases without getting<br />
thrown out once and was<br />
named to the North Suburban<br />
Conference All-Conference<br />
team.<br />
Outfield<br />
Conor Nash, GBS junior<br />
• Nash’s .341 batting average<br />
was second best on the team.<br />
With an on-base percentage<br />
of over .400 and with a teamhigh<br />
26 RBI in 2017, he made<br />
a formidable 1-2 combination<br />
with Pauly for the Titans.<br />
Outfield<br />
Brad Czerniejewski, <strong>LF</strong><br />
senior<br />
• The speedy outfielder<br />
with a rocket arm moved<br />
from right field to center<br />
field for his senior season.<br />
Czerniejewski will now<br />
rejoin former teammate Cal<br />
Coughlin on the team at<br />
Texas Christian University.<br />
Designated Hitter<br />
Paul Turelli, <strong>LF</strong> senior<br />
• Turelli worked on both<br />
sides of the battery for Lake<br />
Forest this season, batting<br />
.304 with 18 RBI and two<br />
home runs and striking out<br />
52 as a pitcher over 38<br />

senior<br />
Jack Arnstein, HP senior<br />
Pitcher<br />
Tommy Gertner, GBN senior<br />
• The Spartans had a<br />
young team this season<br />
and looked to the talented<br />
three-pitch southpaw with<br />
an outstanding split-finger<br />
fastball to be their ace one<br />
more. Gertner delivered the<br />
goods again this season and<br />
earned a spot on the CSL<br />
All-Conference team.<br />
Pitcher<br />
P.J. McKermitt, LA junior<br />
• The left-hander had<br />
an increased role for the<br />
Ramblers this season and<br />
helped Loyola to a 22-13<br />
record. Along with teammate<br />
and Rambler shortstop Ryan<br />
Lin-Peistrup, McKermitt<br />
was voted to the 2017<br />
Chicago Catholic League All-<br />
Conference team.<br />
Pitcher<br />
Thomas Nugent, NT senior<br />
• Nugent helped carry<br />
the Trevians to the state<br />
semifinals this season. With<br />
a 12-1 record and miniscule<br />
0.91 ERA in 69 innings<br />
pitched, he struck out 50<br />
while only walking nine and<br />
earned a spot on the CSL<br />
All-Conference team.<br />
