Wofford College baseball coach Steve Traylor has been named to the Florida Atlantic University Baseball Hall of Fame. Traylor will be honored during a dinner in Boca Raton, Fla. on Friday, Jan. 27.
Traylor started the FAU baseball program in 1981 and posted a 268-107-2 record in seven seasons. He guided the Owls to the 1983 NAIA District 25 Championship and 1985 South Regional Championship.
In 1988 Traylor moved to Duke University and proceeded to resurrect a program that had enjoyed little success since the 1950's. Coach Traylor's teams in the 1990s produced the most successful decade in the school's long history. Traylor currently ranks as the 37th most successful active coach in Division I baseball. Steve is currently the head coach at Wofford College.
Traylor will be joined by six former FAU players and a long-time fan.
Four of the players to be inducted, first baseman Mike Ryan, third baseman Jack Penrod, and outfielders Keith Foley and Scott Hay, were recruited by and played for Traylor.
