USC baseball landed a trio of power hitters on the All-Pac-12 First Team - DH David Oppenheim, C Jeremy Martinez and OF A.J. Ramirez - after impressive seasons at the heart of the Trojans' offense. Oppenheim, who hit .387, led the way as USC's first conference batting champion since Geoff Jenkins in 1995 and only the fourth since 1978.Click here for more.
Martinez, who earned Pac-12 honorable mention status as a freshman and sophomore, was bumped up to the first team after a junior campaign in which he hit .376, good for third in the league, 6 HR and 42 RBI. He slugged a team-best .563, while also doing the job behind the plate, throwing out 24-of-54 would-be base stealers and starting all 56 games, including 54 at catcher.
After leading the team in homers as a junior, Ramirez returned for his senior season and doubled down on the feat. He belted a team-leading 9 long balls, while driving in 44 runs and hitting .301.
In all, nine Trojans earned All-Pac-12 honors. Along with the first team selections, Corey Dempster, Brooks Kriske, Marc Huberman, Joe Navilhon, Frankie Rios and Timmy Robinson picked up honorable mention status.
