PRINCETON, N.J. -- Dartmouth’s Dustin Shirley, Harvard’s Noah Zavolas and Penn’s Eduardo Malinowski earned the Ivy League baseball postseason awards following a vote of the League’s eight head coaches.
 
Columbia’s Brett Boretti was named the Ivy League Coach of the Year, Dartmouth senior outfielder Dustin Shirley was selected as the Player of the Year, Harvard senior starting pitcher Noah Zavolas was honored as the Pitcher of the Year and Penn freshman utility man Eduardo Malinowski was tabbed as the Rookie of the Year. 
 
Shirley hit .314 on the season with a League-high 14 doubles. His 32 RBI and .497 slugging percentage ranked among the top four in the Ivy League. The Los Angeles, Calif., product also tallied 79 total bases, 26 runs scored, seven stolen bases and five home runs. Shirley fared just as well in conference games, hitting .310 with 10 doubles, 20 RBI and 45 total bases. 
 
Shirley is the fourth Big Green student-athlete to be recognized as the Player of the Year, joining Brian Nickerson (2000), Ed Lucas (2004) and Nick Santomauro (2009). 
 
Zavolas compiled a 6-1 record in 11 starts this season, throwing 70.0 innings. He amassed a League-leading six wins and 24 strikeouts looking, while ranking among the League’s top four with a 2.96 ERA, .247 opposing batting average and 77 strikeouts. The Acton, Mass., native posted a 2.20 ERA in League play, with five wins and a League-high 53 strikeouts. On April 13, Zavolas tossed the Crimson’s first no-hitter since 2001, blanking the Yale Bulldogs with a career-high 12 strikeouts. He was 1-of-2 Ivies to boast a sub-2.50 ERA in League action. 
 
Zavolas is the ninth Crimson student-athlete to be named the Pitcher of the Year, following Larry Brown (1978), Charles Marchese (1984), Jeff Musselman (1985), Frank Hogan (1997), John Birtwell (1999), Ben Crockett (2002), Trey Hendricks (2004) and Shawn Haviland (2006). 
 
Malinowski hit a League-best .347 during his freshman campaign with 20 RBI, 24 runs scored and 72 total bases. The Spring, Texas, product had a League-high 59 hits on the season, with eight of the extra-base variety—five doubles, a triple and two home runs. In League play, Malinowski hit .379 with a League-high 36 hits. His 45 total bases ranked among the top four in conference action. 
 
Malinowski is the third Quaker to be dubbed Rookie of the Year, joining a group that includes Todd Roth (2007) and current teammate Matt O’Neill (2016). 
 
Thirteenth-year Lion head coach Boretti became the first repeat recipient of the Ivy League Coach of the Year honor since the award was instituted in 2015. He was also the Coach of the Year in 2015. Boretti led the Lions to a 20-27 record, including a 13-8 mark in League play. With a sweep of Yale in the Ivy League Baseball Championship Series, Columbia earned a share of its fourth Ivy League championship—and its fourth NCAA Tournament berth—over the past six seasons. 
 
Joining Zavolas as unanimous First Team All-Ivy selections were Yale senior starting pitcher Eric Brodkowitz (Potomac, Md.) and Princeton junior outfielder Jesper Horsted (Roseville, Minn.). 
 
Harvard and Ivy League champion Yale paced the Ancient Eight with three First Team All-Ivy selections each. Zavolas, junior outfielder Ben Skinner (Moraga, Calif.) and junior designated hitter Patrick Robinson (Melbourne, Fla.) were the Crimson representatives, while a trio of pitchers—Brodkowitz, junior starting pitcher Scott Politz (Austin, Texas) and junior relief pitcher Benny Wanger (Newton, Mass.)—were the Bulldog recipients. 
 
Columbia, Cornell and Penn shared the distinction of two First Team All-Ivy nods. The Lions were represented by junior first baseman Chandler Bengtson (Fresno, Calif.) and junior shortstop Joe Engel (Downers Grove, Ill.), while senior catcher Ellis Bitar (Katy, Texas) and senior second baseman Ryan Krainz (Naperville, Ill.) were the Big Red award winners. Penn junior third baseman Matt McGeagh (Pacific Palisades, Calif.) joined Malinowski on the First Team. 
 
Dartmouth (Shirley) and Princeton (Horsted) each had one First Team All-Ivy honoree. Brown claimed a Second Team All-Ivy award winner in sophomore catcher Parke Phillips (Venice, Fla.). 

Harvard tallied a League-high seven All-Ivy selections among the two teams, outpacing Ivy League co-champions Yale (5) and Columbia (4).
