Hall of Fame
Bart Toennies graduated from QU in 1994 with a sociology degree. His contributions to the QU baseball team set historical standards.
In his senior season, Bart was the all-time leader in triples, doubles, and RBIs. His batting average of .446 his senior year was the second highest in the history of Hawk baseball and ranked him 13th in the nation. Bart’s slugging percentage was .846, which was good for fourth in the nation, and Bart could hit it over the fence. He was the third all-time leader in home runs both for his senior season and his career with 9 homers his last season and 17 for his two-year QU baseball career.
To go along with his power, Bart was the seventh all-time stolen bases leader. He tallied 19 stolen bases in his senior season and 26 in his career.
One more stat that really stands out was Bart’s career batting average of .419 which put him just behind Hall of Famer Jason Rakers for second highest in the history of Hawk baseball.
According to Bart’s former QU baseball coach, Pat Atwell, “There is only one person who can say that he was the first NCAA All-American in the history of Hawk baseball, and that person is Bart Toennies.”
