Former Mira Costa High baseball standout Jake Jelmini recently signed a national letter of intent to attend the University of Oregon on a baseball scholarship.
Jelmini was a Daily Breeze all-area player and helped Mira Costa capture the Bay League title in 2010 and played at College of the Canyons last season, where he batted .268 with four home runs, six doubles and 16 RBIs in 123 at-bats overall and .339 with a slugging percentage of .435 in Western State Conference play.
Jelmini will finish his second year this season at College of the Canyons, then matriculate to Oregon in September.
During his junior year at Mira Costa, he hit .400 with three home runs and 33 RBIs. His senior year, Jelmini hit .417 with two home runs and 14 RBIs before his season was cut short due to a freak accident where he had his jaw broken.
"I am humbled with all of it," Jelmini said. "I want to thank my coaches at Mira Costa, I could not have done this without them, not to mention a great bunch of teammates at Mira Costa."

Dave Thorpe

Dave Thorpe was a self-proclaimed, slightly above average baseball player back in the day at Torrance's West High, who went on and had an unspectacular, injury-riddled stint as a third baseman at El Camino College. Trading bat for pen, Thorpe wrote sports for the Long Beach Union newspaper at Long Beach State University, then worked as the sports editor for the Palos Verdes Peninsula News for seven years before climbing down the Hill to the Daily Breeze, where he has been a sports writer covering local sports since 2007.
