Saint Joseph's College of Maine

Charlie Furbush (2005–06), of South Portland, Maine, was a dominant pitcher who led the Monks to back-to-back North Atlantic Conference (NAC) championships in 2005 and 2006, an ECAC Tournament berth in 2005, and an NCAA Tournament appearance in 2006. He earned the win in the program's first-ever NCAA victory, striking out 10 in a complete-game 9–7 triumph over Bowdoin. A two-time NAC Player of the Year and 2006 NAC Pitcher of the Year, Furbush also earned ABCA Second Team All-America honors, was named New England Pitcher of the Year, and twice made the NEIBA All-New England Team. He ranks first in program history in WHIP (0.95), opponent batting average (.196), and strikeouts per nine innings (12.21), third in ERA (2.38), and sixth in wins (17) and strikeouts (185)—all in just two seasons. His 2006 campaign remains one of the best in team history: a 10–1 record with four saves, 115 strikeouts in 74.2 innings, a 0.94 WHIP, and a .185 opponent batting average. After transferring to Division I powerhouse LSU, Furbush was selected in the fourth round of the 2007 MLB Draft by the Detroit Tigers and went on to pitch five seasons in the Major Leagues with Detroit and the Seattle Mariners.
