Former FIU infielder and three-time World Series champion Mike Lowell was inducted into the CoSIDA Academic All-America Hall of Fame on Thursday night at the 2018 CoSIDA Convention in National Harbor, Maryland.

Lowell was one of four inductees to enter the CoSIDA Hall of Fame along with Dr. Harry Edwards (San Jose State - basketball/track & field), former Washington State kicker Jason Hanson, and former Tennessee quarterback Peyton Manning.

During his FIU career (1993-95), Lowell hit .355 with 218 hits, 38 doubles and 119 RBI.

Lowell holds the FIU freshman record for batting average with a .371 mark he achieved in 1993. Lowell had 73 hits in his freshman season which ranks him second all-time in FIU baseball history.

Lowell was a Collegiate Baseball Freshman All-American in 1993, a three-time All-Trans Atlantic Athletic Conference selection and the league's Student-Athlete of the Year and an Academic All-American in 1995.

During his 13-year Major League Baseball career, Lowell hit .279 with 1,619 hits, 223 home runs, 952 RBI and 394 doubles.

Lowell made his Major League debut with the New York Yankees on September 13, 1998. He was traded to the Florida Marlins prior to the 2000 season and went on to help the Marlins win the 2003 World Series against the New York Yankees.

After the 2005 season, he was traded to the Boston Red Sox and added 2007 World Series MVP to his resume after the Red Sox defeated the Colorado Rockies in the Fall Classic. Lowell also won a World Series ring with the Yankees in the 1998 Fall Classic defeat of the San Diego Padres.
