TROY, N.Y. - The 2010 ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America College
Division Baseball Teams have been announced and Rensselaer Polytechnic
Institute (RPI) student-athlete Camden Mamigonian has been selected
for First Team honors. This marks the second straight Academic
All-America selection for the senior outfielder, who was named to
the Second Team in 2009. The teams are chosen by the College Sports
Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
Mamigonian, who hails from Dover, N.H., is a physics major with a 3.71
cumulative grade point average. A multiple Liberty League All-Academic
and Dean's List honoree, he is a member of the Sigma Pi Sigma Physics
Honor Society, as well as the Vice President of the Armenian Students
of America Club. A three-time ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District
1 First Team selection, Mamigonian also volunteers at a youth baseball
clinic.
On the diamond, Mamigonian batted .378 and played in all 40 games,
including 39 as a starter. Posting a .622 slugging percentage, he
had a team-best 56 hits, including 11 doubles, team-high two triples,
and a club-leading seven home runs. In addition to scoring 33 runs,
he had 36 RBI and stole 10 bases in 11 attempts for RPI, which went
24-16 in 2010 with a 13-11 Liberty League mark.
Ranked eighth nationally in sacrifice flies (7), Mamigonian was
second in the Liberty League in home runs and total bases (92),
while finishing third in the conference in slugging percentage. A
2010 All-Liberty League First Team selection, he also ranked fourth
in the league in hits and was fifth in doubles and runs batted in.
A former standout at Dover High School, Mamigonian had a solid career
for the Engineers, batting .371 through 155 games played. A starter in
142 contests, he had 202 hits in 545 at-bats, including 50 doubles,
five triples and 24 home runs. Scoring 135 runs, Mamigonian added
163 RBI and stole 20 bases in 30 attempts.
Boasting a career slugging percentage of .613, Mamigonian also had
an on-base percentage of .417 and fielded at a .966 clip. A multiple
Liberty League Performer of the Week honoree during his tenure, he
was a three-time All-Region selection and a 2008 NCAA Rawlings/ABCA
Gold Glove recipient.
Mamigonian helped the Engineers post a 124-49 record during his
four-year career, including a 67-24 mark in Liberty League play. In
addition to winning the 2008 Liberty League Championship, the squad
made three trips to the NCAA Tournament in that time, including
back-to-back appearances in the Regional Finals in 2008 & 2009.
