Eddie Kim
Â
A dominant player and consistent hitter in the Dukes' lineup from 2000 to 2003, Eddie Kim had a record-setting career for JMU baseball. Kim's career record batting average (.409) remains the highest in school history.
Â
A Fairfax, Va. native, Kim was a key component in the Dukes' four straight CAA tournament appearances. In 2002, he helped lead the team to a school-record 44 wins, a CAA regular season title and an appearance in the 2003 NCAA Tournament. His success earned him two All-America selections and two CAA Player of the Year awards, both in 2002 and 2003. He was also named the VaSID Player of the Year in 2003 and the JMU Most Valuable Player in 2001, 2002, and 2003, among other accolades.
Â
In addition to having the highest career batting average in JMU history, Kim also holds the school records for career putouts (1,431) and single-season putouts (531, 2002). He ranks second all-time in on-base percentage (.489), seventh in hits (264), second in RBIs (197), third in home runs (36) and third in slugging percentage (.676).
Â
Kim was selected in the fourth round of the 2003 MLB Draft by the Oakland Athletics and played three seasons of professional baseball. He was also named to the CAA Silver Anniversary Team in 2009. He will join four other student-athletes who will be inducted into the JMU Athletics Hall of Fame, Class of 2015.
