April 10, 2007 | Cowboy Baseball
LUBBOCK, Texas - Former Oklahoma State star Pete Incaviglia has become the second Cowboy to be elected into the College Baseball Hall of Fame, it was announced by the College Baseball Foundation on Tuesday.
Incaviglia, who played at OSU from 1983-85, is a member of the College Baseball Hall of Fame's Class of 2007 and will join former Cowboy teammate Robin Ventura in the hall. Ventura was a part of the hall of fame's inaugural class in 2006.
A native of Pebble Beach, Calif., Incaviglia enjoyed one of the most remarkable careers in the history of college baseball during a three-year career in Stillwater that earned him status as college baseball's Player of the Century from Baseball America in 1999.
The most recognized power hitter in Oklahoma State and NCAA baseball history, “Inky” recorded the most impressive offensive season in NCAA history as a junior in 1985. During that season, he set NCAA single-season records for home runs (48), RBI (143), total bases (285) and slugging percentage (1.140). He also led the Cowboys in batting average at .464.
Incaviglia produced eye-popping offensive numbers throughout his OSU career. As a sophomore, he hit .352 with 29 homers and 103 RBI. He set NCAA career records for home runs (100) and slugging percentage (.915), and he holds the Big Eight Conference career records for RBI (324) and total bases (635).
An outfielder, Incaviglia was named first-team All-America in 1984 and 1985 by the American Baseball Coaches Association, The Sporting News and Baseball America. He was also named first-team All-Big Eight in '84 and '85 and is one of only two players ever voted the Most Valuable Player of the Big Eight Tournament twice (1984-85).
Incaviglia is one of 11 college baseball legends and four veteran candidates who comprise the College Baseball Hall of Fame's Class of 2007. Joining him are coaches Jim Brock (Arizona State), Chuck “Bobo” Brayton (Washington State), Bibb Falk (Texas), Jerry Kindall (Arizona) and Dick Siebert (Minnesota) and players Jim Abbott (Michigan), Fred Lynn (USC), John Olerud (Washington State), Phil Stephenson (Wichita State) and Derek Tatsuno (Hawaii). Among the first-ever Veteran Class (pre-1947) are Christy Mathewson (Bucknell), Lou Gehrig (Columbia), Joe Sewell (Alabama) and John “Jack” Barry (Holy Cross). The group will be inducted into the hall of fame in a ceremony on July 4, 2007.
