HOF Class of 2026

Hailing from Cottage Grove, Minn., Appert played second base for the Gopher baseball team from 2000-03. He was named a Second-Team All-American in 2003 and a Third-Team All-American in 2002. Appert is the only two-time Big Ten Player of the Year in school history and was the first player to win back-to-back honors since Barry Larkin in 1984-85. In 2003, he finished the season batting .373 with 53 runs, 45 RBI and a .476 on-base percentage. Appert was an integral part of three Big Ten Championship teams and was a member of both the 2002 and 2003 Big Ten All-Tournament teams. Appert started his career as a 2000 Freshman All-America honorable mention and was a four-year starter for the Gophers. To this day, Appert still ranks in the top 10 in school history in career games played (237), runs scored (203), RBIs (172), at bats (821), hits (287), doubles (69), walks (121), home runs (28) and total bases (454).
