Attaboy, Cody! You may not be in a class by yourself when it comes to UT baseball, but it sure doesn't take the teacher long to call roll.

Doug Hecker doesn't have record. It's Sonny Cortez with 24 in 1998. Hecker's career-high was 18 in 1991.
Todd Helton (1995), Chris Burke (2001) and Chuck Barclift (1980) are tied for third with 20.
