Portland pitcher Morgan Codron and second baseman Jonas Salk were named to the West Coast Conference Baseball All-Academic Team, the league office announced on May 18. Seven other players from the Portland Pilots received honorable mention recognition.
The recognition highlights academic achievement among student-athletes in addition to their athletic performance. Codron has a cumulative grade-point average of 3.95 while majoring in integrative health and wellness. He posted a 2-0 record for the season, including a win in relief during Saturday’s regular season finale against Pacific. Over 13 appearances with one start, Codron recorded a 4.25 earned run average, pitched 29.2 innings, struck out 27 batters, and held opponents to a .226 batting average.
Salk is majoring in operations and technology management with a cumulative GPA of 3.85 and made the WCC All-Academic First Team for the second consecutive year. He started all 52 games this season, was second on the team with 18 extra base hits, including eleven doubles and thirty-two runs batted in (RBIs). Salk also hit six home runs this year, tying for third best on the roster, and finished with an OPS of .700.
The Pilot baseball team as a whole recorded above a combined team GPA of 3.55 for the academic year spanning from fall through spring semesters of 2025-26; more than ninety percent of team members have individual GPAs above three point zero.
To qualify for WCC All-Academic recognition, student-athletes must maintain at least a cumulative GPA of 3.20, participate in at least fifty percent of their team’s contests during the season, not be first-year students or transfers new to their teams that year, and hold sophomore or higher athletic standing.
