Bio
From Hall of Honor press release dated Oct. 25, 2005:
Those who know say there has never been a better fielding first
baseman in Wittenberg baseball history than Randy Sturtz. In three
of his four seasons in the Red & White, Sturtz played errorless
baseball, and in 1972, his bat came around as well with a .396
batting average in addition to his 1.000 fielding percentage. That
combination earned Sturtz first-team All-OAC, first-team All-Great
Lakes District and first-team All-America honors following his
senior season. A four-year starter, Sturtz, who led the Tigers to
three winning seasons, hit better than .300 in three of his four
collegiate seasons and ranked among the OAC leaders in home runs
and runs batted in 1971. Then in 1972, he ranked seventh in the
conference in batting average. A native of North Robinson, Ohio,
Sturtz graduated from Wittenberg with a degree in economics. He
currently resides in Fairborn, Ohio.
