All-Landmark Conference Baseball Team

TOWSON, Md. – After a stellar 2026 season, the Drew University baseball team was well-represented on the All-Landmark Conference Team, which was announced by conference officials on Tuesday.
 
Freshman catcher/designated hitter Nick Donofrio made history at Drew's first-ever Landmark Conference Rookie of the Year, and he also garnered second-team all-conference honors. In addition, sophomore outfielder Frank Master captured a spot on the All-Landmark Conference First Team while senior third baseman Nick Bisaccia, junior utility player Tyler Giordano, and sophomore designated hitter/first baseman Dylan Gallagher garnered honorable mention recognition.
 
The Rangers' five All-Landmark Conference selections tie the 2017 and 2024 teams for the most in program history. Drew began competing in the conference when it was founded in 2008.
 
Donofrio becomes just the second conference rookie of the year in team history, joining Larry Canales, who was the MAC Freedom Conference ROY in 2005. He homered in his first game as a Ranger, and it would be a sign of things to come, as he broke the Drew record for home runs (10) while finishing with the second-most RBIs (46) in a season. He also batted .286 and belted seven doubles and one triple. Defensively, he threw out six would-be base stealers and committed just three errors for a .979 fielding percentage. Among the Landmark Conference leaders, he is tied for first in home runs, ranks third in RBIs, and is tied for third in sacrifice flies (five).
 
In one of his top performances, Donofrio went 4-for-7 with three home runs and 11 RBIs in a doubleheader sweep at eventual Landmark Conference champion Scranton, which earned him a spot on the D3baseball.com Team of the Week. He also clouted his first career grand slam and drove in five runs in a Landmark Conference win over Moravian. In addition, he homered and knocked in four runs in his collegiate debut at No. 4 Kean.
 
Master is also coming off a record-breaking campaign, as the centerfielder and leadoff hitter swatted a program-record 63 hits for a .404 batting average, which ties him for eighth in program history. He becomes just the ninth Ranger to bat over .400 in a season and the first since Joe Henrikson C'06 (.424) and Joe Cardinale C'07 (.414) in 2006. He also smacked six doubles and three triples while leading the team with 46 runs scored, a mark that ranks second in team history, and tied for second on the team in stolen bases (16). He was even better in Landmark Conference play, batting .421 with 28 runs and 10 steals. He ranks second (tied) in the Landmark Conference in runs and is third in batting, third in walks (tied, 32), and ninth (tied) in steals. Defensively, he was perfect in 91 chances (90 putouts, one assist).
 
Throughout the season, Master posted five, four-hit games, including a 4-for-5 showing versus Susquehanna in the Landmark Conference Championships. He also racked up four hits in two different games in the team's series victory at Scranton in which he finished 9-for-16 with seven runs scored.
 
Bisaccia made the most of his lone season at The Forest after transferring to Drew from Seton Hall. Starting 41 games, he was the team's fifth-leading hitter (.301) while finishing second in RBIs (tied, 30) and third in runs scored (35). He led the Rangers in stolen bases (19) and walks (38), and he also leads the team and the Landmark Conference in sacrifice bunts (10). In addition, he cranked 13 doubles, three triples and two home runs. Defensively, he committed just one error over his last 13 games and had an 11-game errorless streak in which the Rangers went 9-2.
 
In one of his top performances, Bisaccia finished 4-for-4 with three RBIs in Drew's 7-6 win at top-seeded Wilkes in the first round of the Landmark Conference Championships. He also drilled three doubles in a win over Mount St. Vincent and connected for three hits in a victory at William Paterson.
 
In his first year at Drew after arriving from Raritan Valley, Giordano played in 36 games and made 32 starts, splitting his time at first base and catcher, where he made his final eight starts of the year. He batted .260 with 19 RBIs, 13 runs scored, four doubles, and two home runs. Giordano finished 4-for-4 with three RBIs versus Scranton and in a win over William Paterson, and he homered in both of the team's Landmark Conference wins over Elizabethtown.
 
Gallagher played in 37 games and made 36 starts while blasting six home runs, including five in Landmark Conference play. He finished fourth on the team in batting (.303) and RBIs (29) while also scoring 30 runs. Gallagher finished 6-for-8 in a Landmark Conference sweep of Juniata, and the following day he finished 3-for-5 with three RBIs in a victory at Centenary. He also posted a .994 fielding percentage as a first baseman, committing just one error in 156 chances.
 
Drew finished the season with a 25-17 record, posting the second-most wins in team history, and went 13-11 in Landmark Conference play to earn the No. 5 seed in the conference's postseason tournament.
