Tomorrow morning our fellow FCA staffer Bobby Kohler will be inducted into the Texas Tech Athletic Hall of Fame. Bobby has served faithfully with FCA in the Greater San Antonio area for 20 years. His life has impacted the lives of hundreds of coaches and thousands of athletes in our area.
Kohler was a four-year letterwinner for the Red Raiders, patrolling the Texas Tech outfield from 1979-82. He was the seventh All-American in program history, earning American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) second team honors for his performances in the 1980 & 1982 seasons. He also earned All-Region accolades in 1979, 1981 and 1982, while picking up All-Southwest Conference nods in 1980, 1981 and 1982. Over the 1980-82 seasons, Kohler led the Red Raiders in hits, while peppering in team-highs in several categories such as batting average (1981), RBI (1980-81), doubles (1981-82) triples (1980-82) and homers (1981). He finished his Texas Tech career with 199 hits, including 42 doubles, which was a school record for career doubles at the time, and a final batting average of .347. In 1982, Kohler was drafted by the Texas Rangers in the 19th round of the MLB Draft.
