Pitcher Greg Brummett was selected by the San Francisco Giants in the 11th round of the 1989 amateur draft out of Wichita State. With the Shockers, he was a member of the 1989 College World Series Championship team and was named Most Outstanding Player, the only Shocker to win that award. His teammates with the Shockers included Mike Lansing, Eric Wedge, Tyler Green, Pat Meares and P.J. Forbes. That season, he tied for the D-I lead with Kirk Dressendorfer and Scott Erickson with 18 wins. That total also tied him with Bryan Oelkers for most wins ever by a Wichita State pitcher. To close out his collegiate career, he had 13 straight victories. Overall, he had 43 wins, 59 starts and 424 innings pitched in his collegiate career with 364 strikeouts.
