Hall of Fame
Donnie Kelly was an NAIA first-team All-American for the Point Park baseball team in his final season of 2001. His career batting average of .413 over three years is still a school record. Drafted in the 8th round of the 2001 MLB draft by the Detroit Tigers, Kelly has enjoyed a professional baseball career ever since. He made his big league debut with the Pirates in 2007, and the 2010 season with the Tigers was his first full season in the majors. A highlight of his minor league career was being named the Tigers’ Triple-A Player of the Year in 2009. Kelly hit .450 with 45 RBIs and 34 stolen bases in his last year at Point Park. With the Pioneers, he amassed three-year totals of 177 hits, 34 doubles, 92 RBIs and 74 stolen bases.
