Luke Meeteer
 put together one of the most accomplished careers for a Milwaukee baseball player all-time from 2012 through 2016, graduating as the program "hit king" with 273 hits. He also reset career records in stolen bases (finished with 98, was 73), at bats (854, was 803), runs scored (189/178), walks (tied with 99), games started (217/211) and games played (tied with 222). Meeteer also finished second all-time in hit-by-pitches (41), tied for fourth in triples (8), and fourth in total bases (373).
 
He capped his impressive Milwaukee career with a stellar senior season, earning First-Team All-Horizon League honors. A leading candidate for league player of the year, he batted a career-high .362 with 44 runs batted in, scoring 53 runs while collecting 79 hits – including 16 doubles and a career-high six home runs. He slugged .537, recorded a .452 on-base percentage and stole 25 bases in 26 attempts while also becoming just the third Academic All-American in Milwaukee baseball history when he earned a spot on the Third Team Academic All-America squad.
 
Meeteer led the conference in stolen bases that season, with his 25 steals the second-most in program history behind his own record of 37 in 2015 and was among the top five in numerous other categories: second in average, on-base percentage, and total bases, third in slugging and runs scored, fifth in hits, sixth in walks, and seventh in RBI and doubles.
 
In addition to becoming the 12th player to record over 200 hits (finishing with the record of 273), he was named Horizon League all-conference three times in his career as well as to a spot on the All-Newcomer Team as a freshman in 2012, the same year he put together the fifth-longest hitting streak in school history at 23 games. He also holds the school record with eight at-bats in a game (March of 2016) and nearly tied the school record of six hits in a contest when he finished with a 5-for-6 effort against Butler in May of 2012. A regular member of the Horizon League All-Academic Team and Honor Roll, Meeteer closed out his career by not making an error over his final 127 games (321 total chances).
