Official NCAA Division III baseball records
began with the 1974 season and are based on
information submitted to the NCAA statistics service
by institutions participating in the statistics
rankings. Career records of players include
only those years in which they competed in
Division III. Annual individual champions in
runs, bases on balls, toughest to strike out and
saves were added in 1990, along with annual
team champions in home runs, triples, doubles,
stolen bases, slugging percentage and double
plays. Individual hit by pitch and sacrifice hits
were added in 2004. In statistical rankings, the
rounding of percentages and/or averages may
indicate ties where none exist. In these cases,
the numerical order of the rankings is accurate.

Wisconsin-Platteville's Gabe Neitzel's speed in
the outfield helped him on the offensive end as
well. Neitzel tied an NCAA Division III record
held by four others for triples in an inning.

of game one of the Pioneers' double header
against Wisconsin-Superior on April 9, 2006.
