Noah Song, RHP, U.S. Naval Academy

Junior/Claremont, Calif.

Song finished with a 3.67 ERA in 2017 and was second in the Patriot League in strikeouts with 89. The right-hander continued his dominance last week in the 2018 Freedom Classic, retiring the first 12 U.S. Air Force Academy batters he faced. In six innings, Song set a career-high with 16 strikeouts – the fifth-most for a game in Navy’s history; he was named as a Louisville Slugger Player of the Week.

After finishing first during the regular season in the Patriot League last year, the Midshipmen (37-17 overall, 16-4 conference) had a disappointing end to 2017, losing consecutive games to Bucknell University in the semifinals of the conference tournament. Navy is expected to be in contention for the title again this year, paced by Song and senior outfielder Logan Knowles, who has been selected as the Patriot League’s Preseason Player of the Year. Navy is 6-2 heading into March.
