2001 Alum Tug Hulett has made it back to the MLB. Tug was called up on May 24, 2009. He was playing in Omaha, NE with the AAA Omaha Royals before being called up.

Tug was with the Seattle Mariners last season and played for most of the year in the big leagues.

2004 Alum D-Rod Duron was recently named the 2009 West Coast Conference Defensive Player of the Year.

Duron, a senior, posted a .982 fielding percentage at shortstop as he committed three errors on 165 chances. He also helped convert 18 double plays in keeping Pepperdine ranked among the top fielding teams in the nation.

Following this weekend’s series vs. Santa Clara, Pepperdine and Creighton were tied for the NCAA lead in fielding percentage at .983.

Duron’s strength as a defender was taking away hits up the middle and through the hole on the left side as he routinely displayed great range and cannon for an arm. There’s no judging how many hits he converted into outs, but he did lead the Waves with 115 assists.

Duron, who also graduated from Pepperdine this spring, was a three-year starter for the Waves.

     Former Evangel Eagle baseball player Tug Hulett has had the opportunity to represent his alma mater in several instances.  Tug was an All American baseball player at Auburn University (2001-2004) before he was selected in the Major League draft by the Texas Rangers.  He has played in the Major League with the Seattle Mariners (2008) and this season with the Kansas City Royals.  However, Tug was recently given the opportunity to also represent his country by playing for Team USA in the World Cup (baseball's version of the World Championships).

     Tug and Team USA have played in Germany, the Netherlands, and in the host country Italy.  Tug is batting .275 with 2 2B, 2 3B, 1 HR.  Hulett went 2-2 1 2B, 1 3B, 2 walks, and scored 2 runs against Venezuela in a United States victory that clinched a spot in the medal round.  The medal round will begin on Spetember 25 and will be played in Italy. Team USA has a record of 10-1 and can be followed on their webstite www.usabaseball.com.
