Based on your research Andy, I'd have to say they are just getting better players than we are. We all know that it takes a special kind of person to make the commitment to attend the Point.  There coaching staff is good at finding those kids.

One stark contrast between Army's excellent program under Satolano and our fine program under Kinney is the number of pitcher/position players they bring in.  Both of their jumbo sized kids were dual players, right? As was their closer of a couple seasons ago, Dinga.  Navy has a few, too. Cant think of any in recent past for us.



The best multiple-position player in PL history is likely Bucknell's Jason Buursma '08.  Buursma made All-PL in different years as a 1B, DH, OF, and as a RP (twice) and was the PL POY as a senior.    Also was tournament MVP in 2008 as he led BU to series wins over Army and Navy - earning either a win or a save in four consecutive one-run road wins where he pitched 11 scoreless innings and finished all four games.   Also started all of the tourney games at OF or DH as the Bison clean-up hitter.

Buursma is the all-time PL leader in ERA (2.13) and #3 in saves, and also led the league in wins and ERA as a senior - the only year he was a full-time starter.    On the PL hitting lists, he is #4 all-time in HR's and #2 in HR's for a season.    Also is high on the all-time slugging pct list.

Buursma currently is pitching fairly well for Palm Beach - the Cardinals' High A team in the Florida State league - having earned a June promotion from their regular A team.
