Hall of Fame
Scott Orlovsky arrived at Johns Hopkins in the fall of 1994. Over the next four years, he proceeded to rewrite the Blue Jay pitching record book while helping JHU to one of the finest four-year runs in school history.
A dominant right-hander, Orlovsky tied the Johns Hopkins record for career wins (29) and logged a remarkable 29-3 (.906) record. His winning percentage was, at the time, a Blue Jay record. He still holds school records for longest winning streak (19 games) and ranks second in innings pitched (260.2) while remaining among the top 15 in school history in strikeouts (160), complete games (17) and games started (36).
Fueling Orlovsky's career marks was perhaps the greatest two-year run by a pitcher in school history. He combined to go 21-2 in 1997 and 1998 and remains the only pitcher in school history to twice win 10 or more games in a season (10 in 1997 and 11 in 1998).
For his efforts, Orlovsky twice earned Centennial Conference Pitcher of the Year honors (1997 & 1998) and he was a First Team All-Centennial, First Team All-ECAC South and First Team ABCA All-Region selection in each of those years as well. He capped his career with a selection as a Third Team ABCA All-American in 1998.
Orlovsky's exploits on the mound helped Johns Hopkins to a four-year record of 117-45-1 (.721), two Centennial Conference Championships, one UAA title and two trips to the NCAA Tournament. The 1998 team posted a stunning 36-4 record, was ranked as high as number four in the nation and earned the top seed in the NCAA Mid.-Atlantic Regional.
