Hall of Fame
Scott Wiegandt helped lead Bellarmine baseball to its only GLVC Championship in 1989, while earning the prestigious Paragon Award as the league’s most outstanding player for his efforts. The hard-throwing lefty also earned All-America accolades from the American Baseball Coaches Association after compiling a 7-2 record and eight complete games in 11 appearances as a senior. From 1986-89, Wiegandt tossed 22 complete games in 39 appearances for the Knights, accumulating 16 career wins in 226.1 innings pitched. His 206 career strikeouts still rank second all-time in school annals, while his 1.66 earned run average (ERA) his senior season also remains the second-lowest in program history. Following graduation, he went on to enjoy a lengthy career in professional baseball, playing the majority of his 10 seasons as a relief pitcher in the Philadelphia Phillies organization. As a pro, Wiegandt finished with a career ERA of 2.97 in more than 400 appearances. Since retiring as a professional, Wiegandt returned to his alma mater to coach baseball for four years, serve as an assistant athletic director for two seasons, and is currently in his eighth year as the school’s director of athletics.
