He led the Tigers to three straight College World Series tournaments, with the team winning the championship in 1991. He also led them to back-to-back SEC championships, 1990–91. He was on the 1990 All-Tournament College World Series team as a designated hitter, then again for the 1991 tournament as an outfielder. In 1990, he played collegiate summer baseball with the Brewster Whitecaps of the Cape Cod Baseball League and was named a league all-star.^[2][3]
