Encino Crespi pitcher-first baseman Ryon Healy was voted the most valuable player at the California Baseball Coaches’ Assn. North-South all-star series held Saturday and Sunday at San Diego State.

Healy, a senior, picked up the award in an event that featured many of the top baseball players in the state. Healy was the Southern Section Division II player of the year and has scholarship offers from UCLA, USC and Oregon.

‘He was crushing the ball,’ said Simi Valley Coach Matt LaBelle, who helped coach the South team.

Also making a favorable impression were Hueneme pitcher Jesus Valdez and Westlake Village Westlake outfielder Tim Wise.
