Vanderbilt Baseball Legend Selected for College Baseball Hall of Fame: The Anchor – Sports Illustrated

A legendary Vanderbilt baseball athlete has been inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame. Former Vanderbilt pitcher and Major League Baseball standout David Price is in the College Baseball Hall of Fame.
Vanderbilt baseball coach Tim Corbin released a video statement on Twitter/X Thursday night congratulating Price on his latest honor.
“You’re a legacy player, but you’re a legacy person as well. I’m very indebted personally to you for coming to Vanderbilt, for trusting us and watching over your development in the years that you were here. There wasn’t a time while you were here that we weren’t appreciative of you,” Corbin said. “You’re one heck of a representative of Vanderbilt and you still are to this day. Congratulations on this honor. Vanderbilt University is very proud of you. Thank you very much for your representation.”
Price pitched three seasons at Vanderbilt from 2005-2007. Price finished his final collegiate season with an 11-1 record and a 2.63 ERA. That same season, Price won that Dick Howser Trophy and the Brooks Wallace Award.
Price pitched in the MLB from 2008-2022, where he played for five organizations. Price is mainly known for pitching for the Tampa Bay Rays from 2008-2014, where he won the 2012 AL Cy Young Award.
In 2018, Price helped the Boston Red Sox win the 2018 World Series over the Los Angeles Dodgers. Price started the second game in that series. Price also had short stints with the Detroit Tigers (2014-2015), Toronto Blue Jays (2015) and Los Angeles Dodgers (2021-2022).
