A historic season for Sigourney Savage baseball that included the team’s first-ever trip to the state tournament featured some outstanding individual efforts, and two of their top players are receiving some of the top accolades in the state.

Caden Clarahan and Reid Molyneux are both first-team all-state selections in Class 1A by the Iowa High School Baseball Coaches Association. The pair also each brought home all-district and all-conference honors after dominant summers.

Clarahan was one of the state’s top dual threats as a hitter and a pitcher. On the mound, the junior allowed just a 1.60 earned-run average and racked up 71 strikeouts in 48 innings pitched, finishing the season with a 6-3 record.

But Clarahan was arguably even better with his bat. In addition to a team-high .542 batting average that was top-10 in the state across all classes, Clarahan blasted seven doubles and a team-best six home runs, also leading Sigourney with 42 runs batted in.

Molyneux provided an equally excellent middle-of-the-order-bat, as he hit .361 with seven doubles, a homer and 22 RBI. But the senior also played great outfield defense for a Savage squad that won 21 games this summer, the most for the program in a single season since 2010.
