Dampeer ('00) is one of only two Highlanders in program history to be named a four-time all-conference honoree. A local product from Northside High School in Roanoke, Va., Dampeer was the Division I Player of the Year in 1995 and Mizuno Freshman of the Year in 1994, in addition to being a Freshman All-America selection. Known for his power, Dampeer is tied for the most home runs in a single season (16) and for a career (38). Dampeer is also the career leader in doubles (64) and total bases (456). The Cleveland Indians drafted Dampeer in the 22nd round of the 1997 MLB First-Year Player Draft. In three professional seasons, Dampeer hit for a .263 average with nine home runs, 43 doubles and 88 RBIs.
