Colin Abbott, born October 1, 1970, is quite simply, one of the most prodigious hitters in the annals of ISC competition. Spanning 18 seasons from 1992 to 2009, Colin consistently displayed a rare combination of an astute batting eye, while swinging mightily for extra-base-hits. This was the “talk of the park” during his 1996 performance, as Colin sported a sterling .486 average with more than half his 17 hits for extra bases, including five homers. Colin’s career stats are impressive, with a .337 batting average and the ISC leader in ABs (326), hits (120) RBIs (86) and a remarkable 320 total bases. Further, he ranks second in HRs (26) and doubles (24). As the feared “go-to” guy in the batting order, he led Wisconsin-based teams three times to ISC Championships, with Madison Farm Tavern in 1999 and 2007, and Green Bay All-Car Roadrunners in ’94. His team also finished 2nd three times, and Colin was a regular on closing days, his teams finishing in the top four in 13 ISC championship tournaments
