Ithaca College Athletic Hall of Fame
A three-year standout on the Ithaca College baseball team, Brian Parrotte was one of the best hitters in program history and played in two NCAA College World Series, including the 1988 national championship team that went 36-11-1.
Parrotte was on the diamond from 1986-88 and finished his career with a .369 batting average with 171 hits, 127 RBI, 112 runs, 26 doubles, 16 home runs and 11 triples.
As a junior, Parrotte was named Second-Team All-American after a season in which he batted .398 with 53 hits in 133 at bats. He also drove in 40 runs and scored 33 more. The next season, he swung at a .376 clip with a team-best 63 RBI and nine homers.
Parrotte remains in the program's top 10 all-time in runs batted in, and his 63 during the 1988 season is second on the single-season list. The 65 hits he produced during the junior campaign place him 10th on the single-season list. He also ranks among the program's best in career home runs and triples.
He would go on to sign a professional contract with the Cincinnati Reds organization where he played for two seasons with the Billings Mustangs. In 84 career games, Parrotte batted .278 on 75 hits, to go along with 38 runs scored, 32 RBI and four home runs.
