Crespi was unranked in the preseason Southern Section Division 2 baseball rankings, but coaches who vote in the poll might want to take a look at the Celts, who are 7-0-1 and still haven’t started the reigning Mission League pitcher of the year, Isaiah Magdaleno, who has been handling catching duties.
The latest Crespi win came Saturday morning, a 2-0 league win over Chaminade in which sophomore Diego Velazquez threw six shutout innings and had an RBI single.
“He’s having a heck of a start to the season,” coach Mike Glendenning said of Velazquez, who has 14 hits in 24 at-bats and has 20 strikeouts in 17 innings with a 2-0 record.
Crespi started Mission League play this week with two wins over Chaminade and a tie after Friday’s game was halted because of darkness. It’s a positive sign of the Celts’ pitching depth while waiting for Magdaleno to recover from a sore arm.
“It goes to show you the chemistry of our team and the culture of our program,” Glendenning said. “We’re doing good things.”
