The Thunderbirds did not have the highest fielding percentage in the NAIA this season. That honour went to Union University in Tennessee, who had a percentage of .977. The Birds finished second to Union, with a percentage of .975.
This year, however, the Birds were not left off the national Rawlings-NAIA Gold Glove team. Birds center fielder Blake Carruthers made the team, in his first year of eligibility. (He made the team as a right fielder, although he played in center field all season.) Blake fielded 1.000 for the season, had 92 putouts and three assists.
Another recognizable name on the team is 3B Josh Ashenbrenner of Lewis-Clark State.
