Baseball's Vance Serrano Headed to Boston

SANTA MARIA, Calif. - Allan Hancock College two-way player, Vance Serrano, has committed to continuing his academic and athletic career at Fisher College in Boston next season.

"I picked Fisher because I believe that it will be the best opportunity for me to continue my baseball career. They gave me an offer I couldn't decline and I think it is a great fit for me to develop and hopefully move on from there," Serrano shared. "I'm very excited to try something new and get out of my comfort zone by moving to Boston."

Serrano completed his first countable, second overall, season with the Bulldogs in the spring. The Las Vegas native appeared in the bump in 15 games this season en route to one win and 14 strikeouts after 24.1 innings. Serrano also posted a .214 batting average with six hits and six RBIs after 28 at-bats. Last season, the Faith Lutheran High School alum registered two wins through seven appearances on the mound during the abbreviated season.

"My time at Hancock prepared me to succeed at the next level, especially since I came in as a young kid living on his own for the first time. It really made me mature in that area of my life to have my own responsibilities with no one around to push me except my teammates," Serrano added. "Baseball-wise, I feel like I really developed here with the coaches. They really helped me in the areas that I needed improvement in to be able to get to the next level and compete."

Fisher, located in Massachusetts, is a member of the NAIA and competes in the Continental Athletic Conference.
