Years Played: 4
Scott held several pitching records at the time of his retirement and was the ace of the staff during all of his four years. Scott was also a big contributer at the plate hitting well with RISP earning him 20 RBI. Scott's finest performance might have been his senior year against Dayton throwing a complete game and getting nearly all of the team's RBIs in a 5-2 win. A fearless leader, he served as a club baseball officer and/or captain for his final three years. In the memory of his contribution, XUCB hands out the “Scott Smith Man for Others Award,” annually for the player that best exemplifies his class on and off the field.

Pitching: 42.33 IP, 5.29 ERA, 1-6, 28 K's
Awards: Rookie of the Year (Fresh), Co-MVP (Soph), MVP (Junior), Co-MVP (Senior), Great Lakes Pitcher of the Week (3/21/05 – 3/27/05)
Years Played: 4
Brain assaulted the offensive record book during his four year tenure with XUCB and when he graduated he was the career leader in Abs, Hits, Walks, Runs, and SB. The club was under the leadership of Duffy for two years and under him the club began to take major strides towards improvement. Duffy organized the first annual XCB fall classic in partnership with Athletes in Action. He also is the only XCB pitcher to regularly throw a knuckleball in games. The leadership/talent he provided on and off the field will be missed for years to come. Though well known for his play on the field and leadership, Duffy wrote his name under the heading of legends with his impeccably consistent and outstanding play in the tennis ball game.
Chris Heitker
Year Inducted: 2008
C
Hitting: .232 Avg, 23 H, 12 R, 10 RBI
Awards: Most Improved Player (Fresh), Co-MVP (Soph), Defensive Player of the Year (Junior)
Years Played: 4
Heitker was instrumental in keeping the club together during his tenure with XUCB. Heitker exemplified excellent leadership and was Vice President of the club for three years. He was influential in the turnaround the club experienced during his junior and senior years. On the field Heitker was tough catcher who held onto the ball 100% of the time he was plowed over at the plate. Heitker also served on the Club Sports Council as President his senior year. It has been rumored that if you listen very closely on a dark cold night on the soccer field when all is quite you can hear the faint distant cry of “hit the cut.” Legend or the wind, perhaps no one will ever know.
Aaron Sparn
Year Inducted: 2009
OF
Hitting: .285 Avg, 16 R, 21 RBI
Awards: Rookie of the Year (Fresh), Most Improved Player (Fresh) Co-MVP (Junior)
Years Played: 4
Sparn was a man dedicated to Xavier Club Baseball through and through. He was an officer in the club for 3 years and was team president his senior year. His freshman year campaign earned him rookie of the year status while holding down a starting spot in the outfield. Sparn was never afraid to step into the 3 or 4 spot in the order and came up big for XCB delivering many RBI's. Stepping away from his outfield duties Sparn was willing to come in and pitch for the Musketeers on occasion. He was a statistical student of the game who was always willing to offer advice to team members. After fighting a nasty case of mono during his senior year, Sparn's career was capped by his only career home run, a mamoth shot at constitution park.
Brenden Regan - P/OF
Year Inducted: 2010 Pitching: 144 IP, 8-14, 4.28 ERA, 140 Ks, 31 HBP

Brenden was a starting outfielder and member of the XCB pitching rotation all four years. The stirrup wearing sidearmer always had a rubber arm and was willing to throw ever weekend. At the time of his retirement Regan lead the team in many categories including IP, Ks, BBs, Wins, Runs Scored and Stolen Bases. Regan earned confrence player or pitcher of the week 4 times in his career. He was also vice president of the team for two years and invented the wall ball game played at the soccer field. Regan was able to hit 31 batsmen during his four years, it is amazing that he never was thrown out of a game.
Ken Harris - 3B/OF
Year Inducted: 2010 Hitting - .280 Avg, .379 OBP, 18 R, 14 RBI
Years Played: 4
Ken "KA" Harris will go down in club history as one of the most well liked team members of all time. KA had a cannon of a right arm and would frequently show it off throwing from the outfield or across the diamond at 3rd. KA was always a confident hitter at the plate. In the field Harris was asked to move the 3rd base his Junior year and played tough d there for two years. Harris, just like Sparn, finally got his only career HR during the fall of his senior year against Cincinnati.
