2002

Hermanson earned three varsity letters for the Golden Flashes (1992-1994) before being drafted in the first round as the number three pick of the San Diego Padres. He was a first-team All-MAC selection in 1993 and 1994 and earned All District IV and All-Region honors in those years as well. Hermanson was named MVP of the 1992 MAC Tournament after saving three games to lead Kent State to the championship. A Springfield, Ohio, native, he was a mainstay on Kent State's NCAA-team, ERA champion pitching staff in 1993 and was a member of the three regular-season MAC-championship teams (1992-1994). In 1993 he became the first Kent State player to ever be named to the USA Baseball Team.
