Aurelio Jackson (1998-2001)
During a distinguished four-year career as the Hornets everyday center fielder, Aurelio Jackson stands as the school's all-time leader in hits (229), runs scored (138), and stolen bases (85). The San Diego, Calif. native started 180 times and appeared in 204 games for coach Smith, batting .321 for his career. Jackson's speed was his biggest tool, as he is the only Hornet in recent history to record an inside the park home run and a straight steal of home during his career, while also once tagging from second to score on a sacrifice fly. He saved his best season for his senior year, when he hit .338 while leading the team in hits (75), runs (51), and on base percentage (.446). Jackson also recorded 44 stolen bases in 60 chances as a senior, which is the third highest single-season total in program history. Jackson was a two-time all-Big West performer for the Hornets, earning second team honors as a senior in 2001 and honorable mention accolades as a sophomore in 1999.
