Bellevue College Baseball welcomes back one of their most successful alums of all time as Dylan Vchulek joins the Bulldog coaching staff. Vchulek was a star at Bellevue in 2015 and 2016 before receiving multiple NCAA DI scholarships and playing for the University of Hawaii. Vchulek will coach the outfielders and assist David Olson in the baserunning and hitting areas, and will coach first base.
With a storied tradition of alums who made their mark at the NCAA division one ranks, Vchulek will go down as one of the most successful transfers in Bulldog history. In 2018 Vchulek led the Big West Conference in hitting, batting at a .411 clip. He started in all but one conference game.
As a junior, he led the Rainbow Warriors with a team-high .308 batting average, logging 198 at bats, and started 48 out of 48 games. Vchulek bested fellow teammate and current Seattle Mariner, Josh Rojas, in average by 11 points. He led the team in hits, multi-hit games, and stolen bases as well as earning All-Big West Honorable Mention honors. Vchulek had the second longest record in the NCAA reaching base in 44 consecutive games.
Vchulek’s defense skills were notable as well, as he committed just three errors all season and was highlighted by a throw to the plate for a walk-off double play that appeared at No. 2 on SportsCenter’s Top Plays.
Academically, Vchulek won the Top Team Scholar Award for highest grade point average on UH baseball team.
Prior To UH, the alum made headlines at Bellevue by earning All-Region first team and third team Rawlings All-American honors in 2015. He was the batting champion for the entire NWAC, hitting .395 — only the second BC hitter to win the title in the last 40 years.
He played three years of varsity baseball at Bainbridge High School and was a two-time First-Team All-Metro 3A selection. As a senior in 2014, he batted .413. His team won the 2013 Metro 3A Championship. In the classroom, he was a member of the BHS honor roll. Vchulek played summer baseball for Baden Baseball Club, helping the team win six regional tournaments during his time.
Vchulek has returned to his roots both here at Bellevue and in summer ball, as he will coach in the Baden organization this summer for his second season in a row.
