ST. PAUL, Minn. – Senior Cam Scholl (Belmont, Calif./Carlmont) was named the team and pitching MVP, as the Macalester College baseball team announced its 2025 awards.

Team MVP/Pitching MVP: This spring Scholl earned All-Region and All-MIAC honors as the ace of the Scots' pitching staff. He posted a record of 5-3 with an earned run average of 1.62, which led the MIAC and ranked fifth in Division III. His ERA also is a school record, breaking the mark of 1.66, set by Joe Trier '18 in 2018. In 50 innings, Scholl struck out 34 batters and walked just nine while allowing nine earned runs.

Offensive MVP: Nathan Gumagay (Potomac, Md./Winston Churchill) - The junior infielder led the Scots with a .406 batting average, which ranked fifth in the MIAC. Gumagay also registered 22 runs, six doubles, a triple and 17 runs batted in to go with an on-base percentage of .523 that ranked fifth in the MIAC. His solid season earned him All-MIAC honorable mention.

Defensive MVP: Aram Dombalagian (Glenview, Ill./North Shore Country Day School) - Dombalagian started 30 games as the Scots' shortstop in his first collegiate season. He posted a fielding percentage of .919 with 10 errors in 123 chances, and he led the team with 83 assists while playing a part in 10 double plays. Also a contributor at the plate, Dombalagian hit .333 with 36 hits and 17 RBIs.

Most Improved: Stephen Paulsen (Middleton, Wis./Middleton) - Paulsen hit .362, 85 points higher than last season in twice as many at-bats, to rank second on the team. He recorded 34 hits, five doubles, one homer and 22 RBIs in his best season as a Scot. As the team's primary catcher, Paulsen threw out nine would-be base stealers in 26 attempts.

Team Award: Jake Murakami (Chappaqua, N.Y./Horace Greeley) - Murakami best displayed the team's core values of Win the Day, Team First and Trust, according to his teammates. He also contributed on the field, registering a batting average of .292 with 14 hits, three doubles, five runs and six RBIs in 48 at-bats.
