He finished his career by winning the Patriot League Player of the Year award in 1998, and led Navy to the League title that season as well as in his freshman campaign in 1995. He is the Patriot League all-time leader in triples (20) and in the top 10 in hits (226), and is also Navy's all-time leader in runs scored (153).

Marcus Lee - Lee had a great two years in the Patriot League, winning the Player of the Year honor in both 1993 and 1994 and helping Navy to the League title in the latter season. Lee is a member of the Patriot League All-Decade Team and remains the all-time leader in batting average (.385) among players who have completed their career. Lee is also the school's leader in home runs (29) and RBIs (178) and ranks in the Patriot League top 10 in each category.

Steve Mauro - Mauro earned first-team All-Patriot League honors in each of his three seasons, and led Navy to the League title in both 1994 and 1995 with a Tournament MVP honor in the former year. Mauro also made the Patriot League All-Decade Team. He finished his career with a .355 batting average and 43 doubles.

Toby Moore - Moore had an impressive career on the mound for the Mids, which included a Patriot League Pitcher of the Year award in 1995. He was named to the first-team All-Patriot League squad in both 1994 and 1995, and helped Navy win the League title each season. Moore was selected to the Patriot League All-Decade Team, and is the League's all-time leader in complete games (24) while ranking in the top 10 in wins (21).

The group of 25 total honorees combined to win 27 Patriot League Player or Pitcher of the Year awards, with 21 players earning one of the two awards.
