1998 Baseball Team
Butler's 1998 baseball team, led by coach Steve Farley, won a then- school record 33 games, capturing both the regular season and the conference tournament for the Midwestern Collegiate Conference. The team advanced to the NCAA Tournament. Nine players earned all-conference honors, led by Player of the Year Justin Beasley and Pitcher of the Year Ryan Harber. Farley was named the conference's Coach of the Year. The pitching staff ranked fourth nationally with a 3.81 ERA, while the offense set program records in hits, home runs, doubles, slugging percentage and total bases. Ten Bulldogs from that team went on to play professional baseball.
