Tom Hartman from Grand Island, Neb., is one of the greatest hitters to ever come through the Nebraska Wesleyan baseball program.
Hartman played a major role in the most successful four-year span in school history, as NWU won 85 games from 1989 to 1992. He led the team to a conference runner-up finish as a first-year player, followed by three consecutive league titles. The team’s 25 wins in 1990 and 19 conference wins in 1992 are school records.
On Nebraska Wesleyan’s statistical charts, Hartman is the all-time leader in career home runs with 33. He also ranks tied for second in career triples (9) and third in career hits (156). His 1990 season totals for home runs (10), triples (4) and runs batted in (39) still rank second, third and eighth, respectively, in single-season history at NWU. For his career, Hartman also ranks fourth in RBI (122), fifth in runs scored (118) and eighth in doubles (30).
In addition to his numerous records, he was named First Team All-Conference three times, and after his sophomore year, Hartman was named to the NCAA Div. III All-America Second Team.
