Hall of Fame
Mace rewrote the Miami record books during his career and was selected in the 28th round by the Arizona Diamondbacks as the 848th overall pick in 2001.
After batting .339 in his final season with the Red and White, Mace left as the career-leader for hits (316), at-bats (901), runs (230), RBI (176), doubles (54), and total bases (477). To this day, he still leads all of those categories except doubles where he now ranks second. Mace is eighth in career batting average (.350), tied for 10th in career home runs (28) and second in career stolen bases (77). He has two of the top-10 single-season best performances in hits and runs scored, while his 59 RBIs in 2001 is tied for the ninth-best performance in school history.
He was a two-time All-MAC selection (1999 and 2000) and was the 1998 MAC Freshman of the Year. In 2000 as a junior he was selected to the All-Mideast Region team. That came after he led the RedHawks to 40 wins, a MAC Tournament Championship and a victory in the NCAA Tournament.
