The repeat Dream Team pick earned first-team All-Pacific Coast League honors and was also a second-team All-CIF Southern Section Division III choice.

 Beau Attyah

Corona del Mar

He helped the Sea Kings take sole possession of second place in league League with a three-for-four effort against Laguna Hills.
