Not only is it one of the gold standard community college baseball programs in Northern California on and off the diamond, the College of San Mateo continues to show that they’re one of the best in moving their players to the next level.

CSM manager Doug Williams recently release his latest list of four-year transfers. It’s another impressive list consisting of 10 players (four pitchers and six position players) moving on to four-year programs, including seven receiving scholarships.

Leading that list is All-Everywhere reliever Josh Fredendall, who is taking his talents up to the University of Washington. Fredendall’s sophomore season, which seemingly came out of nowhere, was superb. The former Hillsdale Knight appeared in 12 games for the Bulldogs, posting a 3-0 record along the way. Fredendall struck out 33 in 36 innings, with opposing batters hitting a laughable .120 against him. All this equated to Fredendall surrendering only one earned run and one extra base hit all season long — good for a .025 earned run average. Frendendall was a unanimous choice for the All-Coast Conference team. He also earned a spot in the All-Northern California squad and a couple of All-American teams.

Joining Fredendall on the transfer list from the strong CSM pitching staff is Devin Bradley, who received a scholarship from Coastal Carolina University in South Carolina. The former Carlmont Scot went 5-2 with a 1.57 ERA in 10 starts for the Bulldogs. That was after going 6-1 in six starts the season before. For his career, the right-hander pitched in 121 innings, surrendering only 28 earned runs. Opponents hit .241 against him in his career. He also made the All-Conference team.

Also transferring are Doug Caldwell, who will be attending St. Mary’s College on a scholarship. Caldwell posted a 4.02 ERA in 14 relief appearances. Opponents hit .225 against him in 15 2/3 innings pitched. He surrendered 19 hits and 10 runs while walking only one.

Zach Sanford received a scholarship to Sonoma State University. He went 1-1 in four starts. He struck out 13 and opponents hit .228 against him.

Off the mound, the Bulldogs are sending six players to the next level.

Chief among them is Justin Maffei, the former Serra Padre. Maffei was Mr. Everything for the Bulldogs in his two years wearing the blue and white. Maffei followed an impressive 2010 (.365 average, three home runs, 30 RBI, 18 steals) with an equally solid 2011. The center fielder hit .324 in 24 starts. He led the team in runs (33), hits (44), doubles (11), triples (2), home runs (3), total bases (68), hit by pitch (11) and steals (19). He was also second in RBI with 25 and posted a .986 fielding percentage.

Maffei accepted a scholarship to play for the Dons at the University of San Francisco.

Heading west to the University of Hawaii is Joe Goldenberg, who came to CSM this season from Southern Utah. Goldenberg was another All-Coast player who lead the Bulldogs with 27 runs batted in. He also hit .323 in 22 starts and posted a .900 OPS.

Joining Sanford at Sonoma State will be Sean Walters, who in 23 starts hit .269 with a .400 on-base percentage. He drove in 22 runs for the Bulldogs.

Griffin Kirsch is heading to the University of Nevada at Reno to play for the Wolfpack. He hit .293 for CSM and stole 17 bases in 17 attempts.

Nate Bobrowski accepted a scholarship to play for St. Edwards College.

Riley Goulding is will play for the University of Texas Pan American. He had a .653 OPS for San Mateo last season.

A player who isn’t going anywhere is Clay Bauer. The Coast Conference Co-pitcher of the Year was drafted by the Colorado Rockies in June. He has since decided to play out his sophomore season at CSM. Bauer was 6-2 for the Bulldogs in 2011, with a 2.18 ERA in 12 starts and 66 innings of work.

He allowed 55 hits and only 16 earned runs, while walking 15 and striking out 42. Opponents hit .227 against him and only managed eight extra-base hits all season long.
