Hall of Fame
A native of British Columbia, Pete Duncan became the first Canadian named to the NCAA All-American team when he was selected as a third baseman in 1970. That season, he led the Pacific-8 Conference with a .423 batting average in conference games and a .379 mark overall while tying a then-WSU record for hits with 58. Duncan was named Pac-8 and NCAA District 8 First Team in 1970. The Cougars won the Pac-8 in 1970, and Duncan was honored as the team’s most inspirational player. He made seven relief appearances in his Cougar career and, after spending one season at third base in the Kansas City Royals’ organization, he was converted to a full-time pitcher. He spent four seasons in the minor leagues as a hurler where he was 28-18 with a 2.54 ERA in 407 innings.
