SANTA MARIA, Calif. - Allan Hancock College infielder, Kalub Ramirez, has committed to continuing his academic and athletic career at Mount Marty (South Dakota) University next season.

"I chose Mount Marty because Coach Teichroew made me feel wanted in their program from the start of the recruiting process. At first, I was hesitant because it was South Dakota. As I got to know the coaches, see the campus, and see the facilities they have, it just kind of grew on me," shared Ramirez. "I feel like this new step will have a big impact on my life by giving me the opportunity to go out and make a name for myself. I couldn't be more excited for this next chapter."

The Lompoc native recently completed his second countable, third overall, season with the Bulldogs. Ramirez closed the year with a .273 batting average after recording 10 doubles, 24 RBIs, and one homer on 35 hits. He also tallied six stolen bases and boasted a .988 fielding percentage. During his freshman campaign, Ramirez finished the shortened season with a .390 batting average after appearing in 11 games. The Lompoc High School alum recorded 16 hits, including two doubles and one home run, in his first campaign with Hancock. 

"My time at Allan Hancock has been a blessing for me, especially this last year. Being more involved and around the people at Hancock made my time here more special," Ramirez added. "Hancock has matured me, for sure, by making sure that I take care of my business and become more independent. This had a big impact on my decision because it made me want to go out and experience something new and different." 

Mount Marty, located in Yankton, is a member of the NAIA and competes in the Great Plains Athletic Conference.
