Saint Rose Athletics Hall of Fame
Chuck Bauer was among the most dominant hurlers to ever don a Golden Knights uniform. Chuck was an American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) second-team All-American, the ECAC Regional Player of the Year, and the New York Collegiate Athletic Conference (NYCAC) Co-Most Valuable Player as a senior. He was furthermore a NYCAC first-team All-Conference pick as both a junior and senior and is thus one of only three Saint Rose players in the NCAA era (1992) to be named first-team All-Conference in two separate years. Chuck closed out his career as the school’s NCAA era all-time leader in strikeouts (253) and ERA (2.06), and second in wins (22); despite only playing two full seasons (1994, 1995). He still owns school career records for ERA, shutouts (6), and batting average against (.197) and is listed among the top-five in every major career pitching category. Chuck additionally still holds single-season school records for wins (13) and strikeouts (141), along with the second lowest ERA (1.58), which he set as a senior in 1995. He was a member of the 1994 and 1995 Saint Rose NCAA Tournament teams and was part of the 1995 NYCAC Championship team that a set an NCAA era school record with 40 wins (40-18). Chuck was drafted by the Texas Rangers in the 19th round as a senior.
