Robert Gsellman, a 6-foot-4 junior pitcher-infielder at Westchester, came out late to the season because he was a member of the Comets’ state Division I championship basketball team. He hasn’t lost any time making an impact in baseball.

He’s batting .642 with 43 hits, 35 RBIs and seven home runs. He was selected the Western League player of the year.

‘He’s the real deal,’ Fairfax Coach Rocky Sherwood said. ‘We tried everything and could not get him out.’

First-team all-league selections included Nolan Flashman, University; Josh Gilder, Westchester; Tony Gasparetti, Fairfax; Julian Achez, Palisades; Daniel Hordo, Venice; Dominique Starks, Westchester; Robert Eusey, Fairfax; Josh Korn, Palisades; Anthony Giannelli, Fairfax; Jamaal Moore, Westchester, and Nick Poulos, Palisades.
