GO FOR THE HUSTLE • GO FOR THE RALLY • GO LIONS
WHAT IS THE MATT MULLER AWARD? The Matt Muller Lion Award is bestowed upon members of LMU baseball teams whose actions represent the program with pride, dignity and respect. The award was established in 1997 by then-Head Coach Frank Cruz when he assumed responsibility of the program. Re-named in honor of Matthew John Muller (1994-97) following his tragic and unexpected death on November 10, 1999, the honor is awarded to players who represent the team and the university in the highest regard. The cornerstone of the award circles around hard work, dedication to the sport, competing at the highest possible level, and promoting a team environment. Simply put, a recipient of the Matt Muller Lion Award wears the uniform with honor.
