Jason Jennings had an incredible two-way career at Baylor, and he capped it off with an award-winning junior campaign in 1999. On the hill, he tied a school record with 13 wins and set a new mark for strikeouts with 172. Meanwhile, in the batter's box, he hit .382 with 17 home runs (fourth-most ever at the time) and 68 RBIs (third-most). All those numbers earned him his second straight Big 12 Player of the Year Award. He's the Baylor career strikeout leader (377), while also having the highest career slugging percentage (.615), and the Colorado Rockies selected him as a pitcher with the 16th overall pick in the 1999 Draft. He went on to win Rookie of the Year in 2002.
