Anthony Rendon is one of four third basemen in the running for a spot on D1Baseball's All-Quarter Century team. Voting on the team opened on Wednesday and will continue through Friday.

The players on the ballot were selected after a draft conducted by a panel consisting of D1's Kendall Rogers, Aaron Fitt, Mike Rooney, and Joe Healy, with Rogers selecting Rendon as his third baseman.

A three-time All-American for the Owls from 2009-11, Rendon turned in one of the most decorated careers in Rice Baseball history.

As a freshman, he immediately established himself as one of the top players in the country, earning Conference USA Player of the Year and National Freshman of the Year honors. He stepped up his game a year later, leading C-USA with 26 home runs and winning the Dick Howser Award, given to the top college baseball player in the country. He closed out his career placing in the top ten in school history in batting average (.371), slugging percentage (.679), total bases (463), walks (176), hits (253), RBI (85), runs (83), and home runs (52). In 2019, he was a part of the inaugural class of the Conference USA Hall of Fame.

Following his junior season, Rendon was selected by the Washington Nationals in the first round of the 2011 MLB Draft. A two-time Silver Slugger Award winner, he was named to the National League All-Star team in 2019. That year, he led the Nationals to their first World Series championship, becoming the fourth Owl to earn a World Series ring as a player.

He was inducted into the Rice Athletics Hall of Fame in 2023.
