Kyle Hawthorne was the main power source of the Aggies' Southwest Conference championship squads of the late 1970s. During his three seasons as a letterwinner (1977, 1978, 1979), the Aggies claimed SWC titles in '77 and '78 while going a combined 50-19 in league play over the three seasons.
Hawthorne led the Aggies in home runs and RBI all three seasons. He clubbed 30 home runs during his career, which ranks eighth on Texas A&M's all-time list.
Hawthorne earned the Aggies' Wally Moon Award in 1977, honoring the most improved player on the squad. He earned All-SWC and served as team captain in 1979. Hawthorne had two stints with USA Baseball, including playing in the 1978 World Baseball Games and the 1979 Japan-USA Series.
After a brief stint in the minor leagues, Hawthorne pursued a career in law. He earned his bachelor's degree in political science from Texas A&M in 1979 and his J.D. from South Texas College of Law in 1986. Hawthorne currently serves as a judge on the 85th District Court of the State of Texas.
