Hall of Honor
Another of the most successful two-sport athletes in Caltech history, Keating earned All-SCIAC recognition thrice each as a fullback in soccer (Second Team) and shortstop/outfielder in baseball (Honorable Mention). Speed was Keating's calling card in both; his raids up the flank on the pitch were years ahead of their time and his gaudy stolen base totals still stand as program records today. A threat to take a base every time he made it aboard, he remade himself as a hitter over his career, ranking fifth in hits over his four years and posting the fourth-most walks in a single season, which led to him still ranking second all-time in runs scored behind only fellow inductee Jim Hamrick '86.
Keating was part of both the soccer and baseball teams' last wins for the following 16 and 29 years, respectively, while earning the John C. Petersen Freshman and Coaches' Special Trophies in baseball and serving as team captain for three years in soccer. Having graduated with a degree in engineering and applied science, he has taught at La Salle High School in Pasadena since 1994.
