    Renick spent two years with the Blue Raiders at the turn of the 21^st century (2000-2001) and quickly made his mark known on the baseball diamond, helping Middle Tennessee to two conference championships (one OVC, one SBC) and two NCAA regional appearances. The Sarasota, Florida native came to Middle Tennessee from Florida’s Manatee Community College.

    An outstanding second baseman, batsman and base-stealer, Renick drew high praise from Blue Raider foes as they honored him as the Sun Belt Conference’s player of the year in 2001. He was also named a 3^rd-team All-American that year.

    He ended his career with a .381 batting average, ranking him 3^rd all-time in the Blue Raider record book. In that 2001 season, Renick batted a stunning .420, third highest in school history, to lead the Blue Raiders’ march to the NCAA playoffs.

    Renick’s name is found throughout the program’s record book as noted in the categories of singles, doubles, hits, on-base percentage, stolen bases and hit batsmen.
