  Sports Information selected fifteen of the best UTA players from the last decade. Of these fifteen, outfielder Michael Choice is the only athelete to currently playing. (The Shorthorn: File Photo) The decorated junior out fielder Michael Choice highlights the All-Decade team as the only current Maverick on the list. Choice is the first Maverick to ever play for the USA Baseball National Team, and he represented UTA proud hitting .350 with 3 home runs and 13 RBIs. It was enough to earn him a place on the World Baseball Challenge All-Tournament team last summer.  UTA All-Decade Team (Click to Enlarge) According to The College Baseball Blog, Choice is the 13th best player in college baseball and he enters the 2010 season being counted upon to provide fireworks and leadership for the club. The All-Decade list features 12 players who have played professionally, including five who have made it to the major leagues. Ryan Roberts and Hunter Pence top that list, with Roberts filling in nicely as the Arizona Diamondbacks’ second baseman, and Pence remaining an elite outfielder with the Houston Astros. The 2000s were kind to Maverick baseball as they posted 285 wins, two Southland Conference titles and two NCAA regional appearances. They also recorded their first-ever NCAA tournament victory in 2001, powered by Craig Martin’s walk-off solo home run to scratch the HoustonCougars 7-6. According to the press release, the players were chosen based on their on-field performance, statistics, career and single-season records, as well as awards, honors and recognitions.
