Tim Dubrule
Dubrule made an impact on West Texas A&M Baseball in 1997, the program's third seasons of existence. The third baseman became one of the top players in the Lone Star Conference and in all of Division II during his one season in Maroon & White.

Dubrule was not only named the LSC's Most Valuable Player in 1997, but he also earned the South Central Region's Player of the Year accolades to become WT's first All-American. He hit .488 with 18 doubles, 10 triples and nine homeruns to drive in 75 RBI with an incredible 166 total bases for a slugging percentage of .802 to go along with 24 walks for an on-base clip of .550.

In just one season, Dubrule set 10 school records and three LSC marks, including the league's highest batting average (.488) along with the most triples by any player in a single-season (10). Dubrule produced a 21-game hitting streak followed by a 12-game hit streak. Tim ranked nationally in five statistical categories. He was second in batting average, fourth in runs scored, seventh in triples, and 12th in both RBI and slugging percentage.

The El Paso, Texas native went on to become the program's fourth professional baseball player as he spent the 1997 season with the Amarillo Dillas of the Texas-Louisiana League, hitting .229 in 19 games.
