Five Manor College baseball players have been named to the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA) Baseball National All-Academic Team, the organization announced.

Eric Engesser, Lucky Lindley, Cidrick Navas, Alexander Rebitz, and Jacob Torres each earned the recognition by maintaining a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or higher, a standard that holds regardless of what’s happening between the lines.

About the Athletes

• Engesser (Downingtown/Downingtown High School West), a junior first baseman and Business Administration major, appeared in 26 games and hit .357 with a .441 on-base percentage and 11 RBI. His batting average and 16 singles both ranked second on the team, and he hit safely in 14 games while reaching base in 17.

• Lindley (Montclair, Va./Forest Park High School), a sophomore center fielder and Accounting major, played in 30 games — among team leaders. His 86 at-bats, 21 hits, six doubles, and 13 walks were all near the top of the roster, and he reached base in 22 of 30 games with 12 stolen base attempts.

• Navas (Levittown/Samuel Fels High School), a senior pitcher-catcher and Business Administration major, led the Manor pitching staff with nine starts, 42⅔ innings, and five complete games. At the plate, he hit .273 with a .515 on-base percentage. Navas received his associate’s degree in Science at Manor’s May 14 Commencement.

• Rebitz (Cheltenham, Cheltenham High School), a sophomore pitcher and Psychology major, appeared in 10 games, including four starts, logging 12⅓ innings and ranking second on the team with six relief appearances. Rebitz will graduate with an Associate of Arts Degree at Commencement.

• Torres (Mays Landing, N.J./Cedar Creek High School), a senior outfielder and Sport Management major, becomes the first Manor baseball player ever named to the USCAA All-Academic Team more than once — having also earned the honor in 2024. Torres already holds an associate’s degree in Sport and Recreation Management and added a bachelor’s in Business Administration at the May 14 ceremony.

The five honorees bring Manor’s all-time USCAA National All-Academic selections to 23 since 2021. All five play for third-year Head Coach Charles “P.J.” Hackett.
