Stetson Athletics Hall of Fame
One of the top pitchers from the early days of Jim Ward Era, John Colvard was inducted into the Stetson Athletics Hall of Fame in 2001. A two-year letter winner (1972-73) for the Hatters and Stetson’s all-time leader in earned run average (2.18), Colvard tossed 18 complete games in his two seasons, including a then-record 12 in 1972. Colvard’s 1972 season was one for the record books, as the right-hander threw 124.0 innings and registered a 1.60 ERA while making 14 appearances. Colvard won 15 games in two seasons, striking out 110 batters in 228.1 innings. He threw the second no-hitter in program history on March 17, 1973 against Ohio State.
