R. SCOTT WAIBEL
Baseball (1977-80)
A talented student-athlete, Scott Waibel earned national recognition for both his play on the baseball diamond as well as for his work in the classroom during a stellar career in 1977-80.
A native of West Chester, Pa. and a 1980 Delaware graduate, Scott was a two-time CoSIDA Academic All-American, earned All-East Coast Conference honors three times, was the 1980 ECC Player of the Year, and earned the UD Outstanding Senior Male Athlete of the Year Award in 1980.
As a four-year starter at second base for Hall of Fame coach Bob Hannah, he led the Hens to a record of 136-62 (.687), three NCAA Regional appearances, and two ECC titles.
A two-time team captain, he closed his career as Delaware’s all-time leader with 303 hits and 231 RBI – marks that still stand nearly 40 years later.
For his career, he hit .396 with 27 home runs and 35 stolen bases and established seven UD records. He never hit lower than .366 and ranked No. 33 in the NCAA with a .419 average in 1980 and was 36th with a .407 mark in 1979. He knocked in 63 runs in 1979 and 62 in 1980 (15th) and was 12th nationally with 19 doubles in 1979.
