2004 Inductee Brian Schubert
 Few
high school athletic careers have rivaled that of Bellevue’s
Brian Schubert, a standout in golf, basketball, and baseball
for the Bellevue Redmen.
Schubert earned a total of 11 varsity letters for the
Redmen, including four each in golf and baseball, and three
in basketball.
One of his greatest achievements came in 1985 when he
pitched on consecutive days in the state baseball
tournament, leading the Redmen to the Class AA state title
with a 6-4 win over Steubenville Central Catholic on Friday,
followed by a 3-2 win over Wellston on Saturday. In fact,
Schubert started and won all eight of the tournament games
for head coach Ed Nasonti during the state title run, an
achievement not likely to ever be duplicated.
In addition to winning the four letters in baseball,
Schubert was first team All Northern Ohio League in 1985 and
1986, and honorable mention in 1983. He was selected the
team’s most valuable player in both 1985 and 1986, and was a
member of the All-Ohio baseball team, and started and took
the win in one of the four games played in the series.
In golf, he still holds the school record for 18 holes
(4-under 67) and nine holes (5-under 30), was a four year
letter winner, was Northern Ohio League medallist and first
team selection in 1983, 1984 and 1985, and was selected as
the team’s most valuable player in 1983, 1984, and 1985.
He was a member of three Northern Ohio League championship
golf teams, and a member of two state qualifying teams. He
was first team All Northwest District in both 1984 and 1985,
and placed at the state golf meet during three seasons from
1983-85.
In basketball, Schubert earned three letters and was voted
first team All Northern Ohio League in both 1985 and 1986
after taking honorable mention honors in 1984. He led the
Redmen in scoring in 1985 (18.6 ppg) and 1986 (22.8 ppg) and
was also the NOL’s leading scorer in 1986. He was voted team
MVP that same year, was first team All Northwest District,
and is third on the all-time career scoring list with 1,190
points.
After high school, Schubert signed to play baseball with
Kent State University where he became a four-year letter
winner. He went 5-2 as a starting pitcher in both his
freshmen and sophomore years, was 8-3 as a junior, and 9-4
as a senior. He was second team All Mid-American Conference
in 1989 and first team in 1990. He was also voted MAC
Pitcher of the Year in 1990, and his 2.55 earned run average
was the lowest in the league.
His 22-9 career record at KSU ranks him fourth on the
all-time list. In his first-ever start for Kent, Schubert
tossed a no-hitter in a 6-0 win, the third pitcher in NCAA
history ever to toss a no-hitter in his first collegiate
start.
He was drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the 32nd round of
the 1990 Major League Baseball Draft. He reported to the
Niagara Falls Rapids of the New York-Pennsylvania Class A
League, where he was 3-1 overall as a starter before
shoulder surgery ended his brief major league career.
Schubert is currently the assistant principal at his alma
mater, Bellevue Senior High School. |
