Musgrove ended his four-year career with the Gators as one of the most distinguished hitters in the history of the program. He has the career school records in batting average, slugging percentage and runs batted in, with single season records in batting average, doubles, runs batted in and a tie for home runs. He had quite the innocuous start to his career, as he played in just two games as a freshman, and then just 15 more as a sophomore, accumulating just 28 at-bats through two seasons.
Musgrove came into his own in 1996, batting .503 (80-for-159), the single season school record, and also setting records in runs batted in (74) doubles (25) and total bases (139). He finished third on the team in home runs with 10, while scoring 58 times, tied for the fourth highest single season total in program history. For his efforts as a junior, he was named to the American Baseball Coaches’ Association All-America First Team and All-Region First Team, in addition to first team All-NCAC honors. His power numbers increased as a senior, as he hit a school-record tying 16 home runs and drove in 72 runs, the second highest total in school history, behind his previous years’ total. Starting all 48 games, he also scored 63 times, third highest in school history, and tallied 139 total bases, tying his own school record. He was named a first team All-American for the second time in his career, in addition to All-Region and All-Conference First Team. For his career, he owns a .458 batting average, .821 slugging percentage and 156 runs batted in, all school records. He also helped the squads to a 138-43 record during his four years, with a pair of NCAA Division III Regional appearances.
