Ron Warga was a four-year starter as a middle infielder, starting every game in his career for the Rockets from 1996-99. For his career, Warga hit .300, with a .394 on-base percentage, nine home runs, 17 triples, 32 doubles, 107 walks, 104 RBIs, 156 runs scored and 65 stolen bases. When he left UT, he ranked first all-time in career runs scored, first in hits (212), first in triples, first in walks, second in total bases (315), eighth in RBIs and doubles. His 17 career triples still rank in the top five in MAC history. He was captain and MVP of the 1999 team that set school records for most wins (39) and conference wins (23), hitting .314 with four homers and 34 RBIs. He set the single season school records for stolen bases (26), runs scored (57), and triples (5) that season and added 32 walks. As a junior, Warga hit .312 with three home runs, four triples, 14 doubles, and 35 runs scored. As a true freshman, he started every game, leading the team in at bats, walks, stolen bases, and triples, earned Rocket Newcomer of the Year honors and made the MAC All-Tournament Team. Warga was also a slick fielder, committing just two errors and sporting a sparkling .992 fielding percentage in 1998, an almost unheard-of number for a middle infielder.
