POMONA, Calif. – Bronco senior catcher Johnny Pappas added to his lengthy CPP resume on Monday, being named to both the NCBWA and D2CCA All-West Region First Teams. He received the same recognition following the 2024 season, and also earned All-Region honors as a redshirt freshman in 2022.
 
Pappas had a memorable senior campaign, inserting his name into the Top 10 of just about every single category in the Bronco baseball record book. In 2025, the catcher/outfielder was the only player to start, or play, in all 49 games, batting .344 with 67 hits, 16 doubles, five home runs, 23 RBI, and 43 runs scored.
 
He also posted a .988 fielding percentage, as his career .995 ranks second-best in school history. On the conference level, Pappas ranked Top 10 in doubles, at-bats, and hit by pitches this season. The Bronco catcher also had a 16-game hitting streak in the latter half of the season, the 11th-longest in program history.
