Bio

Andrew Fuiten finished his career as one of the most decorated players in Webster University baseball program history. An outfielder for the Gorloks in 2008 and 2009 he was a two-time SLIAC Player of the Year and earned First Team All-Conference honors in both seasons. He remains the only Gorlok in conference history to win multiple Player of the Year awards and is just the third player in conference history to achieve that feat. Fuiten earned All-American honors in 2009 and was the NCBWA Central Region Hitter of the Year the same season and twice earned First Team All-Central Region honors.

Fuiten holds school records for batting average, slugging percentage, and on-base percentage, and his .416 career batting average is tops in SLIAC history. He finished his career with 27 home runs, 112 runs batted in, and 98 runs scored. With Fuiten the Gorloks won back-to-back SLIAC regular-season titles and advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 2008, winning a then-school-record 31 games, and advancing to the Central Region championship game. He was a 2016 inductee to the Webster University Hall of Fame and he becomes the second Gorlok baseball player to be honored.
