Hall of Fame
Chuck Hazzard has the unique distinction of starting every game as a member of the varsity team all four years at Jesuit. During his junior season, he led the Dallas area in hitting with a .538 batting average, and was named to the Dallas Morning News All-Area team following another outstanding campaign as a senior.
Recruited to play at the University of Florida, Hazzard was named First Team Freshmen All-American after posting a series of gaudy offensive statistics. In 1996, Hazzard was selected First Team All-SEC and earned all-tournament accolades at the SEC tournament, NCAA Regional tournament and the NCAA College World Series. Finishing the year with a .367 average, 18 homeruns and 67 RBI, Hazzard was selected as an NCAA All-American.
Hazzard, who was a first baseman by trade, was drafted by the New York Yankees in the 1996 MLB June Amateur Draft. Following his playing career, he enjoyed a long tenure coaching in the collegiate ranks at UNLV and Pepperdine University as well as a three-year stint as UNLV’s Director of Baseball Operations.
