Former UH Hilo shortstop Casey Yamauchi  earned the status of Academic All-America Third Team honors yesterday.

The recent Hawai’i Hilo graduate wrapped up a five-year career putting up a .404 batting average on 63 hits, 29 RBI and six home runs along with 50 runs scored, 23 walks, 23 steals and a .932 fielding percentage in 179 total chances. In the process, Yamauchi set several program career records including 240 hits, 147 runs, 49 doubles and 74 steals.

At the time of submission, Yamauchi had achieved a cumulative grade point average of 3.71 before ultimately finishing at 3.74 with a bachelor’s in each of Kinesiology & Exercise Sciences and Communication.

As a whole, the Division II Academic All-America Teams combined for a 3.81 cumulative GPA.

The Vulcans finished the season at a 25-19 mark and just narrowly missed out on qualifying for the first-ever Pacific West Conference postseason tournament. A hot start to the year garnered national recognition in spending five weeks with a top 25 ranking, reaching as high as No. 13. Hawai’i Hilo also finished at No. 6 in the final NCAA West Region rankings.

Yamauchi was one of just five players from the PacWest Conference who was voted to Academic All-American status and was previously selected to the Academic All-District Team along with Ryan Cho and James Yamasaki.
