Kenneth Fullman, native of Chicago, Illinois (Mendel Catholic High School), was recruited to play baseball at KSU. He was coached by Ronald Braden who said, “He was a line drive hitter that could hit the ball anywhere.” He played the corners as he was regularly placed as a first or third baseman.

Kenny’s career was one that many athletes could only wish for, as he obtained many honors while playing for KSU. He was a four year starter and earned an athletic letter each of those years. In 1991 and 1992, he was selected as the team’s Captain. He was selected in 1990 to the Academic All-American team. For three years from 1990 to 1992, he was selected to the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) Pre-Season All-Conference team.

In multiple years, he led the baseball team in Home Runs and Runs Batted-In. But it was his defensive play that helped him earn KSU’s “Defensive Player of the Year” award during the 1990-91 season. Finally, in 1992, he capped his career off as he was selected and played in the Historically Black College and Universities All-Star game.

Kenny left KSU and continued to earn other fantastic honors. For the past 25 years, he coached at Chicago Harlan High School. For the last 18 years, he was the Head Coach where he compiled a record of 460 Wins – 183 Loses.

The program assists Chicago baseball players obtain development and exposure to colleges and universities.
