It’s expected for any sports team to go through highs and lows over time. No team can be great forever, and despite any previous success, there’s always going to be some down years.
The past five seasons, San Diego State baseball has experienced both sides of the coin. From the under .500 season in 2012, to the three consecutive NCAA tournament appearances from 2013-15, to the current 12-25 team this year, there has been only one player that has been through it all: redshirt-senior outfielder Spencer Thornton.
Though there are two other redshirt seniors on the team in right-handers Brian Heldman and Dalton Douty, Thornton is the only one to have been with SDSU every year.
