9/1/2006 NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Vanderbilt’s David Price was tabbed Baseball America’s College Summer Player of the Year in the publication’s most recent edition released this week in print and on-line. Price was dominant as the ace of the USA Baseball National Team’s pitching staff as he helped lead the squad to a gold medal at the FISU (International University Sports Federation) World University Championships last month in Havana, Cuba. The Murfreesboro native went 5-1 over the summer with a 0.20 ERA and struck out 61 batters with just seven walks in 44.0 innings. He closed out the stellar campaign with a complete game five-hit shutout of Nicaragua in the quarterfinals of the FISU tourney. It was the only complete game effort by an individual on the team all summer. This year was his second tour of duty with the USA Baseball National Team as he led the 2005 team with 39 strikeouts in 29 innings.
