University of Charleston Athletics

Robert James Daily III played outfield for the University of Charleston baseball team from 2004 to 2008. Right from the beginning, it was clear that Daily was not shy with his bat, as he batted .342 and totaled 38 hits in his first season in a Golden Eagles uniform. 

Following a great start to his college baseball career, he set the school record for hits on the season at 64 while batting .354 as a sophomore. As each season passed, Daily continued to impress with his ability to hit. In his junior season, the Golden Eagle batted .430 and shattered the previous single-season record that he set the year prior with 83 hits. During the same season, he received Player of the Week honors for having four three-hit games and going 15 for 22 at the plate with 24 runs batted in while batting 681. His impressive stats throughout the season also earned him All-WVIAC and All-Region honors. 

In his final season as a student-athlete, Daily batted with an average of .381, blasted out four home runs, and drove in 24 runs. As a senior, he received Second-Team All-Conference honors. Today, Daily resides in Wintersville, Ohio.
