AASU senior outfielder Alex Wyche led NCAA Division II in stolen bases during the 2010 season with the release of the final statistics from the NCAA.

Wyche led the nation in total steals with 48 and in stolen bases per game at 1.0. He is the first AASU player to lead the nation in steals, and he is the second player to lead the nation in a statistical category over the last three years. Juan Dorado led DII in sacrifice hits in both 2008 and 2009.

Overall, Wyche is the tenth AASU player to lead the NCAA in an individual statistical category. The Macon, Ga. native's 48 steals were the second-most in a single season in AASU history. Wyche hit .343 this season with 5 triples, 3 home runs and 40 RBIs.
