Shelley Duncan
One of the most prolific power hitters in conference history, Shelley Duncan was a stalwart during his three years at Arizona. A first-team All-American in 2001, Shelley is Arizona’s career home run leader with 55 long balls. He’s also the program’s single-season home run leader with 24, which came in 2001. Shelley hit a home run every 10.35 at-bats during his Arizona career, which is the best ratio in school history. The Tucson native hit 20 home runs as a freshman in 1999, which still stands as a school freshman record. His 186 career RBI rank eighth all-time at Arizona. A three-time Pac-10 Player of the Week, he was a first-team Baseball America Freshman All-American and an All-Pac-10 pick in 1999. Shelley was selected in the second round of the 2001 Major League Baseball Draft by the New York Yankees, and made his big league debut in 2007. He played parts of seven seasons in the Major Leagues and now serves as the manager for the Arizona Diamondbacks’ Double-A Affiliate, the Jackson Generals.
