Baylor Athletics Hall of Fame
Josh Ludy
- Induction:
- 2022
A career .287 hitter with five homers going into his senior season, Ludy had a monster final year to earn first-team All-America and Big 12 Player of the Year honors in 2012. In the "Feed the Beaver" season, he hit .362 with a Big 12-best 16 home runs and 71 RBIs in leading the Bears to a conference-record 24-game winning streak, a Big 12 title and one win away from the College World Series.
Starting 62 of Baylor's 66 games that season at catcher, Ludy also was named a Johnny Bench Award semifinalist and selected to the Big 12 Championship All-Tournament Team. An eighth-round draft pick by Philadelphia, he played two years in the Phillies' organization and finished his six-year pro career hitting 42 homers in four seasons with the independent-league River City (Mo.) Cats.
