Butler University Athletics

Steve Mitchell was a varsity letterwinner in both football and baseball, but he had a particular impact on the baseball field.  He was named the Most Outstanding Player in the Heartland Collegiate Conference in 1979, and he was Butler’s Most Valuable Player in both 1978 and 1979.  He holds Butler’s record for longest hitting streak (24 consecutive games), and he pitched one of Butler’s 17 all-time one-hitters.
