Oxnard College second baseman Jake Mahan and catcher Mario Landeros continued a team tradition this week, when both were named to the California Community College baseball coaches association All-American team.

Mahan, a sophomore from Camarillo High, led the state with 66 hits.

Landeros, a sophomore from Oxnard High, was right behind Mahan in nearly every offensive category, finishing second on the team in batting average (.378), hits (45), doubles (seven), RBIs (27) and slugging (.444). He led the team in on base percentage (.444).

The selections mean five Condors have earned All-America honors in the past three seasons. First baseman Jonathan Erb and third baseman Bryan Willson, both Camarillo High products, were 2010 All-Americans and outfielder J.C. Aguayo was a 2009 All-American.

Ventura College sophomore Allen Gwynn joined the Oxnard duo on the team.

The Santa Paula High product starred at third base, hitting .324 with 26 RBIs, and was the Pirates' most reliable starting pitcher, leading the team with five wins and a 4.22 ERA. He is the Pirates' first All-American selection since Garrett Rau in 2009.

Ventura sophomore outfielder Ryan Jones was rewarded with his hard work with an All-Southern California selection. The Buena High product, who transformed himself from a role player into a star, hit .379 with 11 doubles and 24 RBIs.

Jake Mahan, who committed this month to Arkansas, won't be the first Oxnard College baseball player to make the trip to Fayetteville.

At least four previous Condors played for the Razorbacks, including Tim Seward, Mark Berry, Howard Hilton and Andy Skeels, according to former Oxnard coach Jerry White.

Oxnard College second baseman Jake Mahan is challenging for state statistical superiority at the plate.

But the sophomore from Camarillo High would gladly trade in his personal success if it meant the Condors were in position to defend their Western State Conference title.

"It's kind of bittersweet," said Mahan. "I'm playing pretty well, but I would much rather be in the playoffs."

Mahan entered this week leading the state with 57 hits, along with Andrew Mistone of Rio Hondo and Christopher Manning of Barstow.

Although, according to Mahan, that's news to him.

"I don't look at stats," said Mahan. "I just play baseball because I think it's fun."

His .413 batting average, 76 total bases and four triples also place him in the state's Top 10 and his 27 RBIs and .551 slugging percentage sit in the Top 40 as Oxnard (16-16) prepares to wrap up its season next week with a two-game series with Santa Barbara City.

Behind Chris Joyce and Kylin Turnbull, who have combined to whiff 149 batters in 122 innings, Santa Barbara features one of the top starting rotations in Southern California.

"That should be fun," said Mahan.

Mahan, who has hit .385 in his two years at Oxnard with 12 doubles, nine triples, four home runs and 53 RBIs and 62 runs scored, attributes his success to the Condors' coaching staff.

He has received recruiting interest from Azusa Pacific, Westmont and the University of Arkansas. It will also be interesting to see if his play has convinced any of the scouts tracking teammate Jesus Valdez to draft him in June.
