Hall of Fame
One of the best hitters in Henderson State history, Cody Deal was a two-year letter-winner for the Reddies in 2004 and 2005. Deal, along with teammate Jarrod Eason, became Henderson's first baseball All-American of the NCAA era when he earned Third Team ABCA and Honorable Mention NCBWA All-American honors in 2005. During his scorching 2005 campaign, Deal collected a program-record 83 hits with 23 doubles, racked up 26 multi-hit games, and turned in a batting average of .437, which remains the highest single-season mark by any Reddie in the NCAA era. In just two playing seasons at Henderson, Deal ranks third in program history in career batting average (.372), eighth in RBIs (88), ninth in doubles (31), and ninth in home runs (19).
