Baseball

Concordia's first-ever Major League Baseball draftee, Derrick Bly played only two years in an Eagles jersey, but he made his time count, earning All-GSAC honors both seasons and getting tabbed as GSAC Player of the Year and an NAIA All-American honorable mention as a senior.

In his senior year (1996), Bly set a school record that still stands today, hitting a blistering .465 with nine triples and 10 home runs. For his monster year of 1996, Bly still ranks in the school's top-10 in eight single-season categories-batting average, hits (67), triples, homers, extra-base hits (30), total bases (126), walks (33)-and his 26-game hitting streak remains a school record.

He ranks in the top-10 in four career categories, including fourth all-time with a .384 career clip and 11 triples.

After Graduation

Following his senior year, Bly was drafted by the Chicago Cubs, and he played professional baseball through the 2000 season.
