Jorge Fabregas - Baseball

Jorge Fabregas was one of the feared hitters in Ron Fraser's Hurricane attack for three seasons from 1989-91. By the time he was a junior, Fabregas was a legitimate candidate for the Dick Howser, Bob Smith and USA Baseball Golden Spikes awards.
Fabregas, who played third base and catcher, was a supplemental first round draft pick of the California Angels in 1991. During his three-year career, the Miami, Florida resident hit .331 with 120 runs scored, 201 hits, 329 total bases, 50 doubles, nine triples, 20 home runs, 139 RBI and six stolen bases. His 50 career doubles still ranks eighth on the UM career list.
Among Fabregas' accolades was a spot on the 1990 USA National Team coached by current UM head coach Jim Morris. Fabregas, who walked on to the team, batted .444 against International competition, including teams from Holland, Korea and Canada. Morris and Fabregas would go on to earn a Bronze Medal at the Goodwill Games with their win over Canada.
Fabregas was also named to The Sporting News Second-Team All-America list as a third baseman in 1990, his first full season at the position. That 1990 season also saw Fabregas get selected the Arnold Novins Most Popular Award, as voted on by the fans. During his final season in 1991, Fabregas hit .315 in his final season with 49 runs scored, 74 hits, 60 RBI, 20 doubles, one triple and nine home runs.
His 60 RBI led the squad. The team qualified for the NCAA West II Regional and finished 46-17 in the second-to-last season for Fraser. As a sophomore in 1990, Fabregas hit a team-best .365 on the year along with another team-high of 64 RBI. Additionally, he 51 runs scored, 91 hits, 206 total bases, 21 doubles, seven triples and eight home runs. The team would post a 52-13 overall record in 1990, but was upset in the final game of the NCAA Atlantic Regional in Coral Gables. Fabregas earned All-Regional honors during UM's 5-2 postseason run.
In his first season at Miami in 1989, Fabregas and the Hurricanes would go 49-18 on the season, win the NCAA South Regional in Gainesville and qualify for the College World Series. Fabregas appeared in 53 games as a freshman with 20 runs scored, 36 hits, 56 total bases, nine doubles, one triple, three home runs and 15 RBI.
Fabregas just completed his ninth season in the Major Leagues, finishing the 2002 season with the Milwaukee Brewers. He had been on the Anaheim Angels for the 2001 season and beginning of 2002 seasons prior. During his nine-year career, Fabregas has also played with the Kansas City Royals, Florida Marlins, Atlanta Braves, Arizona Diamondbacks, New York Mets and Chicago White Sox.
