The STLCC Archers baseball team is off to a great start this season. Here’s a look at what they’ve done so far and what they have to look forward to in the coming weeks.
STLCC Baseball: A Look at the Team
The St. Louis Community College Archers Baseball Team is coming off a successful 2019 campaign in which they posted a 34-17 overall record and won their second NJCAA District 16 championship in three years.
The Archers will look to build on that success this season with a talented and experienced group of players. STLCC will be led by a pair of all-conference performers from last year in first baseman Alec Auck ( Des Peres, MO) and outfielder Nate Tholl (Bridgeton, MO).
Other key returnees include pitchers Gabe Giltner (St. Charles, MO) and Jacob Booden (Florissant, MO), who both saw significant time on the mound last season. Giltner was STLCC’s top starter, going 8-3 with a 3.33 ERA in 13 starts. Booden was the team’s closer, picking up four saves while posting a 2.45 ERA in 35 innings pitched
The Archers will also have several new faces in the lineup this season, including transfers Camacho Cole (OF, Arizona Western College), Brayden Becker (INF/OF, Heartland CC) and Garrett M Union Keokuk CC).
With a mix of veteran experience and youthful energy, the Archers are poised for another successful season on the diamond.
STLCC Baseball: A Look at the Schedule
The 2017 STLCC baseball team has a busy schedule ahead, with conference and non-conference games throughout the spring semester. The Archers will look to build on their success from last season, when they won the NJCAA Division II District B title and finished third in the Region XVI tournament.
STLCC will open its season on Feb. 4 with a doubleheader at Jefferson College. The Archers then have a Home game against North Central Missouri College on Feb. 8, followed by a three-game series at Lewis and Clark Community College on Feb. 10-11.
The Archers’ first conference games will be March 4-5, when they host Lincoln Trail College for a four-game series. STLCC will also host Mineral Area College (March 18-19), East Central College (April 1-2) and Three Rivers College (April 29-30) for conference series this season.
STLCC will play several non-conference opponents this season as well, including several teams from the St. Louis area. The Archers will host Fontbonne University on March 15, and will play away games against Lindenwood University (March 22), Washington University (April 12) and Webster University (April 25).
The Archers’ 2017 schedule features several games against ranked opponents, including No. 7 Lincoln Trail, No. 9 Lewis and Clark, No. 10 Wabash Valley and No. 19 Eastern Illinois College. STLCC will also play No. 24 Kankakee Community College in its final regular season series on May 5-6.
STLCC Baseball: A Look at the Players
This year’s STLCC baseball team is shaping up to be a strong squad, with a mix of experienced returners and talented newcomers. Let’s take a look at the players who will be suiting up for the Archers this season.
In the infield, third baseman Hayden Whitehead and first baseman Kamron Dages are returning starter who will provide some much-needed power at the corner positions. Dages led the team in home runs last year, and Whitehead was second on the team in batting average Shortstop Daniel Duarte will also be back in the lineup after a strong sophomore season.
The outfield will feature a trio of players who saw significant time on the field last year: Left fielder Cole Daily, center fielder Bryce Kramer, and right fielder Malik James. All three are excellent defenders and should provide some good offensive production as well. Newcomer Jimmy Davis is also expected to see time in the outfield; he was a Standout Player in High School and has already shown good promise in practice.
On the mound, the Archers will have a solid group of starting pitchers, led by returning ace Jordan Woodruff. Woodruff had a great season last year and is looking to build on that success in his junior year. Other starters include left-hander Gavin Price, who was solid as a freshman last year; right-hander Griffin Baker, who has Good Stuff but needs to work on his control; and newcomer Tyler MacDonald, who has impressed in practice so far. The Archers also have a deep bullpen, with several relievers who could see significant time on the mound this season.

With a new season just around the corner, let’s take a look at what the Archers have in store for their fans this year.
The team is coming off of a disappointing 2018 campaign in which they finished with a record of 24-26 and failed to make the NJCAA playoffs. Nevertheless, there are plenty of reasons to be optimistic about STLCC baseball in 2019.
First and foremost, the Archers will have a new head coach at the helm in former Major League infielder Aaron Miles Coach Miles brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the program, having played 11 seasons in MLB with various teams including the St. Louis Cardinals Colorado Rockies Chicago Cubs Kansas City Royals and San Diego Padres
In addition to their new Head Coach the Archers will also have a new home this season as they move into newly-renovated Meramec baseball stadium The stadium underwent extensive renovations during the offseason and is now one of the premier facilities in all of JC baseball. With a capacity of nearly 1,000 spectators, Meramec Baseball Stadium will provide Archer fans with an intimate venue to take in all the action this season.
Finally, perhaps the most important reason to be excited for STLCC baseball this year is the talent on the field. The Archers return several Key Players from last year’s squad including All-Region second baseman Eli Ellington and starting pitchers Nate Pearson and Tyler Thoelecke. In addition, Coach Miles has brought in a talented recruiting class that should make an immediate impact for the team.
All things considered, there is plenty to be excited about when it comes to STLCC baseball in 2019. Be sure to come out and support your Archers as they look to make another run at an NJCAA World Series title!

STLCC Baseball: A Look at the Rivalries
The STLCC Archers Baseball Team is getting ready to take the field for another season and there are some great rivalries brewing. Here’s a look at some of the top matchups on the schedule:
-April 5 vs. Jefferson College: These two teams met in the Region XVI tournament last year, with Jefferson coming out on top. STLCC will be looking for revenge in this one.
-April 12 vs. East Central College: This is always a well-attended game as these two schools are only about 30 minutes apart. The Archers have had the upper hand in recent years but East Central is always looking to upset their rivals.
-May 10 vs. Lincoln Trail College: This is another matchup of two schools that are relatively close together. STLCC has won six straight against Lincoln Trail, but this one should be a good one nonetheless.
STLCC Baseball: A Look at the Future
As the 2019-2020 Season for STLCC baseball nears its conclusion, it’s time to start looking ahead to next year. This off-season, there will be plenty of changes for the Archers, as they will have to replace nine starting Position players from this year’s squad.
The most significant losses will be in the outfield, where STLCC will have to replace all three starting outfielders. The team’s leading hitter, Chris Hanks, will also be graduating, leaving a big hole in the middle of the lineup.
On the bright side, the Archers will return their top two pitchers from this season, Gabe Givens and Tyler Jay. They’ll also have a solid core of position players returning, led by shortstop Connor Barron and second baseman Blake Adams
With so many changes coming for next season, it will be interesting to see how the Archers adapt and what kind of team they field. One thing is for sure – they’ll have their work cut out for them if they want to make a return trip to the NJCAA World Series
