Linfield Baseball's Jake Swenson was named the Northwest Conference Pitcher of the Year and five total Wildcats received all-conference honors in a release by the NWC Thursday afternoon. Swenson made the first team while Luke Porter and Camden Oram were selected to the second team. Tyler Marr and Trent Wainfeld round out the selections, making the honorable mention list.
 
Swenson was named to the All-NWC second team last season and won the Rookie of the Year Award. He continued his legacy in 2025, breaking the Linfield program record for strikeouts in a single game with 17. He led the team with a 3.25 ERA and racked up six wins. The sophomore's 92 strikeouts on the season led the conference by a wide margin and limited opposing batters to just .200 at the plate. to lock down Pitcher of the Year honors along with his first team selection.
 
Porter makes his first appearance on an all-conference list after tearing the cover off the ball for the Wildcats all season long. His 12 home runs lead the team and rank third in the Northwest Conference. The designated hitter tallied 32 hits and 25 runs while batting in 40 runs, also a team-high. Porter's .732 slugging percentage is second highest in the conference and highlights the threat he can be at the plate.
 
Oram returns with his second straight All-NWC selection after making the honorable mention list in 2024. The senior from Tumwater, Washington proved to be an elite starter for the Wildcats this season, pitching 72.2 innings and accumulating 53 strikeouts and a 3.84 ERA. Oram's best game of the season came against Puget Sound where we tossed 8.2 innings and struck out eight batters, a season high for the veteran pitcher.
 
Marr makes the list for the third consecutive season with a second team selection in 2024 and honorable mention selections in 2023 and 2025. The catcher stacked 226 putouts with a .992 fielding percentage defensively while also batting .287 and notching 31 hits and 16 runs.
 
Wainfeld notches his first career selection after an impressive season at right field. The junior upheld a perfect fielding percentage throughout the season and dominated offensively with a team-high .351 batting average, piling up 40 hits, 24 runs and 26 RBI.
