Four members of the Chestnut Hill College Baseball team have been named to the 2026 College Sports Communicators (CSC) Division II Baseball Academic All District® team in an announcement made by the organization and the CSC Academic All-America® committee Tuesday afternoon.
Named to this year's academic all-district team were juniors Wyatt Spinks, Michael Pascoe and Jackson Shollenberger along with senior Michael Melosky. Pascoe earns Academic All District® honors for the second consecutive year while his three teammates are first time honorees.
The 2026 Academic All-District® Baseball Teams, selected by College Sports Communicators, recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field or court and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes softball honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.
To be eligible for Academic All-District® accolades, student-athletes must be at least at sophomore athletically and academically, appear in 90 percent of their team's contests or start 2/3 of them and have a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or better. Graduate students must have a 3.50 cumulative GPA in both their undergraduate and graduate programs.
Academic All-District® honorees are reviewed by a group of Academic All-America® committee members for consideration for advancement to the CSC Academic All-America® national ballot, where first, second and third team Academic All-America® honorees are chosen by the CSC Division II membership and the Academic All-America® core committee. Pascoe and Spinks advanced to the national ballot.
