A major leaguer with the Rangers, Indians and Brewers, Chris Magruder earned All-Pacific-10 Conference first-team honors in each of his three seasons at Washington. He led the Huskies to Pac-10 Northern Division championships in each of his three years and to the overall Pac-10 title in 1997 and 1998. A graduate of West Valley High School in Yakima, Wash., Magruder scored more runs in a three-year career (225) than any player in Pac-10 history and batted .400 twice (.400 in 1997 and .402 in 1998). Magruder, who started in center field for the 1997 U.S. National Team, made a name for himself in the postseason, hitting safely in his last 16 straight postseason games and batting .515 with 27 runs and 17 RBI in 17 career games. He still holds the UW single-season records for at bats, hits, runs, steals and walks and the career records for runs, steals and walks.
