PHILADELPHIA – On the eve of the inaugural Ivy League Baseball Tournament, the conference announced its All-Ivy teams and major award winners Thursday afternoon and the University of Pennsylvania was represented remarkably well with two major year-end award winners, five first-team selections, and 10 All-Ivy selections overall.
 
Ryan Dromboski and W. Joseph Blood Head Coach John Yurkow were the headliners of the group, with Dromboski taking home Pitcher of the Year and Yurkow earning Coach of the Year honors.
 
Dromboski was joined on the first team by unanimous selection Wyatt Henseler (third base) – his second straight unanimous first-team selection --, Cole Zaffiro (starting pitcher), Jackson Appel (catcher), and Cole Palis (second base).
 
Starting pitcher Owen Coady and shortstop Davis Baker both earned second team honors, while relief pitcher Carson Ozmer, first baseman Ben Miller, and outfielder Jarrett Pokrovsky all earned honorable mention recognition.
 
In addition to Henseler, Miller (2022 first team), Palis (2022 first team), Appel (2022 second team), and Coady (2022 honorable mention) earned all-conference recognition for the second straight season.
 
Notes to Know…

• Dromboski is the third straight Penn hurler to take home Pitcher of the Year honors; Kevin Eaise won the award last season and Christian Scafidi won the award back in 2019.
• Dromboski is also the first non-junior or senior to win Pitcher of the Year since Columbia's Pat Lowery back in 2010.
• Penn's now earned 10 All-Ivy selections two seasons in a row. Before last season, the Quakers had not put 10 on the all-conference team since 2010.
• The Quakers' five first-team selections were two more than any other team -- Harvard had three; Princeton and Brown each had two.

John Yurkow: Ivy League Coach of the Year
Yurkow earns his first honor from the conference after leading the Quakers to a second straight regular season title and the program's first OUTRIGHT title since 1995. The team has won 33 of 42 Ivy League games since the start of last season (78.6 percent), the best two-year conference mark for the program since the 1988 and 1989 teams (both of whom made the NCAA Tournament) went 29-7 (.805 winning percentage) in the Eastern Intercollegiate Baseball League.

Ryan Dromboski: Ivy League Pitcher of the Year; Unanimous First-Team All-Ivy
Dromboski was dominant throughout the duration of conference play, going at least five innings and allowing two earned runs or fewer in five of his seven Ivy starts, tying for the lead in conference wins (five) while finishing first or second in ERA (2.27, first), strikeouts (54, second), and opponent batting average (.165, first). He won back-to-back Pitcher of the Week awards in mid-April after allowing just one earned run while striking out 27 in 16.2 innings of work against Princeton and Brown.

Wyatt Henseler: Unanimous First-Team All-Ivy
Henseler caught fire down the stretch, finishing the year in the top five in the conference in home runs, RBI, slugging and OPS. The junior went 9-for-27 with four home runs, seven RBI, and seven runs scored in Penn's final six Ivy games, the Quakers going 5-1 in those six contests.

Jackson Appel: First-Team All-Ivy; Academic All-Ivy
Appel finished Ivy action tied for first in runs scored, sixth in both slugging & OPS, and tied for sixth in RBI. He hit safely in five of six games, as well as the final nine games to open and end conference play, finishing with a .337 average, good for 11th in the league.

Cole Palis: First-Team All-Ivy
Palis hit safely in 19 straight conference games to end the regular season, and 20 of 21 overall. The Garnet Valley native hit .398 during that 19-game conference hitting streak more than 60 points above his overall season average. Palis finished tied for first in league play in runs scored, third in OPS, fourth in slugging, fifth in batting average, and eighth in on-base percentage.

Cole Zaffiro: First-Team All-Ivy
Zaffiro was the model of consistency on the mound for much of Ivy play, going at least 5.2 innings in six of his seven conference starts, allowing one earned run or fewer in four of those starts. The Manhasset, N.Y. native finished Ivy play fifth in ERA, tied for fifth in opponent batting average, and tied for sixth in strikeouts.

Owen Coady: Second-Team All-Ivy
Used primarily in relief last season, Coady became a key piece of Penn's weekend rotation (with Dromboski and Zaffiro) this year. The southpaw went at least five innings in six conference starts, allowing no runs in three of those games. He wrapped the regular season tied for third in wins, tied for third in strikeouts, seventh in ERA, and seventh in opponent batting average during conference action.

Davis Baker: Second-Team All-Ivy
The Quakers' freshman shortstop made a significant impact during the season, starting all 21 conference games in the middle of the Penn lineup. He hit safely in 16 of those games, finishing with a .289 batting average and an OPS of .866, while scoring 15 runs and driving in 14 more.

Ben Miller: Honorable Mention All-Ivy
Miller hit safely in Penn's 12 first conference games and 17 of 21 overall. The Durham, N.C. native ended the regular season fifth in on-base percentage, tied for sixth in RBI, and eighth in batting average in conference play.

Carson Ozmer: Honorable Mention All-Ivy
After a promising 2022 campaign, Ozmer emerged as a shutdown reliever for the Quakers this season, allowing just two earned runs in 10.2 innings of work in 10 appearances during conference play, including 10 strikeouts in 7.2 consecutive scoreless innings to close the regular season.

Jarrett Pokrovsky: Honorable Mention All-Ivy
Pokrovsky caught fire to close conference play. After hitting .240 through the first three Ivy series, the Pittsgrove, N.J. native hit .298 over the final four series entering the Ivy Tournament, capping the year with Ivy League Rookie of the Week honors last Monday.
