Ken Ritter is one of the more decorated college baseball players in the Midwest at any level. The 1988 NCAA Division III Player of the Year for the American Baseball Coaches Association, Ritter was a three-time All-American at North Central College in Naperville, Illinois, hitting a Division III record .577 in 1988, but his career numbers are just as impressive. He holds three College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin (CCIW) career records and nine North Central career records for batting average (.463), slugging percentage (.890), on-base percentage (.568), runs (179), hits (245), triples (14), home runs (53), total bases (471) and runs batted in (234). Ritter’s teams were CCIW Champions for three years and 1987 World Series participants.
