Phil Nevin

1992 was a big year for Phil Nevin. He was named Most Outstanding Player of the 1992 College World Series, where his Cal State-Fullerton Titans finished second. Nevin was selected first overall in the MLB Draft by the Houston Astros that June, as well. Nevin then played in the 1992 Barcelona Summer Olympics for Team USA. The corner infielder and outfielder didn't quite live up to his top billing as a Major Leaguer, but he had a quietly impressive 12-year career for seven teams. After a slow start as a pro, Nevin finally flourished as a San Diego Padre in 1998 for whom he hit 24 home runs. He followed up those seasons with 31- and 41-homer campaigns and finished his career with 208 blasts.
