Vinh to be inducted into Chico State Athletic Hall of Fame

Huntington Beach resident Bao-Nhan Vinh will be inducted into Chico State University Athletic Hall of Fame Sept. 24.

Over the 1999 and 2000 seasons, the Wildcats won 95 games and Vinh established himself as one of the greatest clutch hitters in the history of the program. His 96 hits in 1999 are the second most in single-season history and paced a team that went on to win the NCAA Division II College World Series title. He had 44 career postseason hits including 28 in 1999. Both totals remain Chico State records.

In 20 career postseason games, Vinh recorded two or more hits 16 times.

Vinh was twice named All-West Region and is one of five Wildcats to have earned First Team All-California Collegiate Athletic Assn. honors twice.

His .384 career average is the third highest in school history and he also ranks among the top 10 in RBI, hits, runs, doubles, triples, total bases and stolen bases.

“After 20 years of calling Chico State baseball, Bao is right at the top of the list of hitters I would want up there with the game on the line,” Chico State baseball play-by-play voice Mike Baca said in a statement.

After graduating, Vinh hit .283 in four seasons of independent baseball.

Vinh and his wife, Krystal Lee, the Club Green Girls Volleyball Club (ages 13-18).
