Tracy Gets Call To Big Leagues
April 21, 2004 | Baseball
Tracy received the call-up after Arizona placed second baseman Roberto Alomar on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday night. Alomar sustained a broken hand in the D-Backs 4-2 loss to the Brewers last night.
Through 12 games at Triple-A Tucson this season, Tracy was batting .400 with a pair of home runs and 11 RBIs. After being selected in the seventh round of the 2001 MLB Amateur Draft as a junior, Tracy decided to forego his senior season. He compiled a career minor league average of .333 in 326 games played with 22 home runs and 195 RBIs through his first three seasons of professional baseball.
Tracy ranks among the top 10 in school history in batting average (.339), hits (154), doubles (48), and RBIs (154). He was a two-time NCAA All-Regional player and a first-team All-Colonial Athletic Association selection as a junior in 2001.
