2012 BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE

2012 SEASON PREVIEW There is one word that seems to be synonymous with the 2012 edition of the Mercer baseball team that ninth-year head coach Craig Gibson wants to dispel, and the word is “rebuilding”. After losing many key bats on offense and some key pieces from the pitching staff, the Bears will feature a new-look squad in many areas in 2012, but Gibson doesn’t see that as a bad thing. “We would rather reload than rebuild, and I think we are very talented from top to bottom that should be able to compete for a championship again this season,” said Gibson. “The ball doesn’t know how old you are or what you have done in the past and I think the guys understand that and have rallied around that. Once we get to in-game action this weekend we will only get better and better as a unit.” Mercer had an unbelievable 2011 season that saw the club tie a program record with 39 wins and climb as high as No. 56 in the National Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) before falling to Belmont in the Atlantic Sun Championship title game.

PITCHERS

A-Sun All-Conference first team selection Brandon Love, A-Sun All-Freshman team members Brandon Barker and DJ Johnson and 2012 A-Sun Preseason All-Conference honoree David Teasley all return from a 2011 pitching staff that led the conference with a 3.58 ERA.

Looking out to the bullpen, the Orange and Black find a trio of reliable arms that have plenty of big game experience. Teasley headlines the group after being selected to the 2012 A-Sun Preseason All-Conference team just a few weeks ago. The Elberton, Ga. sidearmer had an overall record of 6-5 with a 4.57 ERA and one save while ranking sixth in the A-Sun Conference with 32 relief appearances last season.

Colby Collins also comes back for his senior season after making a career-best six appearances out of the bullpen last season.

MERCER

Johnson has been tabbed as the teams’ closer to start the season, taking over for the departed JT Odom. Johnson amassed a 1-2 overall record last season with two saves and 31 strikeouts while putting up a team-low 1.91 ERA in 17 total relief appearances. Rounding out the trifecta is senior Jacob Matthews. Matthews tallied a career-high 25 relief appearances last season to go along with a perfect 3-0 record and a 3.34 ERA.

OPPONENTS RECORDS

Redshirt junior David Randall also rejoins the team in 2012 after missing almost all of last season with a back injury and is the front runner to claim the number three starter job.

REVIEW

As a true freshman, Barker evolved from a mid-week starter into a dependable weekend starter as the year progressed. The Woodstock, Ga. product finished his first collegiate season with a perfect 4-0 record, a 3.38 ERA and led all starters on the squad with just over a 3-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio.

BEARS

Love returns to Macon after a dominant junior campaign. The Augusta, Ga. native put together a sparkling 8-1 overall record to go along with a 3.26 ERA and 66 strikeouts. Love ranked in the top-10 in the A-Sun Conference in multiple statistical categories, including ERA (2nd), wins (T-4th), opponents batting average (6th), games started (T-9th) and strikeouts (T-9th).

COACHES

With two weekend starters and two of the teams’ top relievers back in the fold, the Mercer pitching staff figures to be the strength of the Bears squad in 2012.

PREVIEW

Coach Gibson and the rest of the Bears may have brought all these high expectations onto themselves based on all the success the program has had over the past two seasons. With a combined 77 wins over the past two campaigns, which puts the Bears in a tie for the 28th most wins in the nation over that two-year period, and an Atlantic Sun Championship in 2010 the pressure is on to keep the Orange and Black’s current run of success going.

2012 SEASON PREVIEW CONTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;D

Freshman newcomers Mitchell Wade, Grant Papelian, Dimitri Kourtis, Ben Lumsden, Morgan Pittman, Kevin Werner, Eric Nyquist and Dawson Brown come to Macon as one of the most highly regarded incoming groups of hurlers in the Southeast and will be battling for roles in mid-week starts and middle relief as well. CATCHERS Junior David Reid-Foley has been penciled in as the opening day catcher by Coach Gibson after transferring to Mercer from South Georgia College. While at South Georgia, Reid-Foley hit .367 as a sophomore while showing off his defensive skills by throwing out an impressive 29% of would-be base stealers. Backing up Reid-Foley will be sophomore Hunter Stiles and freshman Tate Bullard. Stiles appeared in six games and hit .286 last season while Bullard comes to Macon from Tifton County High School. INFIELDERS The Bears infield returns a wealth of talent from last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s squad including juniors Evan Boyd and Travis Benn, redshirt sophomore Austin Barrett and sophomore DJ Johnson.

Benn has worked hard over the summer to add more versatility to his game after hitting .275 with three home runs and 16 RBI in 2011. The Columbus, Ga. native is projected to be used as more of a utility player this season, with the capability to play catcher, first base or third base. Barrett had a phenomenal first season in Macon as the full-time catcher for the Bears on his way to being named a Freshman AllAmerican by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association. He hit .286 to go along with eight home runs, 25 RBI and a .467 slugging percentage while managing a Mercer pitching staff that ranked first in the A-Sun Conference last season with a 3.58 team ERA. The Mims, Fla. native will be asked to shift over to first base this season, but could also see time as a catcher or designated hitter. Johnson showed he was a more than capable two-way player last season after being one of just 25 players named to the John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Award Watch List for his work on the mound and at the dish. Johnson hit .263 on the year with 10 doubles and 21 RBI while also excelling in the field with a .985 fielding percentage from his second base position.

Freshman Chesny Young seemingly has a stranglehold on the starting third baseman position through the end of preseason camp. Young, who comes to Mercer from Marist High School, will have some big shoes to fill after taking over the hot corner from Oakland Athletics draftee Jacob Tanis. Freshman Seth Mann and Grayson Smith add depth at both middle infield positions and will be asked to come in often when Johnson is called to the mound.

PREVIEW

Boyd enters 2012 as the most experienced position player on the Mercer roster, having trotted out as the starting shortstop for the Orange and Black in all 120 possible games over his first two seasons in Macon. The Albany, Ga. native hit .265 in 2011 to go along with two home runs and 22 RBI. Always known for his range and ability in the field, he led the team and finished eighth in the A-Sun Conference with 159 assists.

OUTFIELDERS With the departure of Billy Burns to the MLB Draft and Thomas Carroll to graduation, that leaves sophomore Derrick Workman as the lone returning outfielder for the Bears. Workman had arguably one of the best all-around freshman campaigns by any player in the nation last season on his way to being named a Freshman All-American by Louisville Slugger. The Acworth, Ga. product hit .332 with nine home runs, 12 doubles, 47 RBI and 11 stolen bases. The remaining two starting outfield spots are up for grabs between five players including junior college transfers Logan Gaines and Kelcey Butts, sophomore Nate Moorhouse, redshirt freshman Daniel Cardwell and freshman CJ Reed. Gaines and Butts were both starting outfielders and Georgia Collegiate Athletic Association (GCAA) All-Conference first team members at South Georgia College last season. Moorhouse transitioned to the outfield after playing mainly second base last season. The 5-foot-8 speedster appeared in 29 games in 2011 and hit .300 with eight runs scored. Cardwell is seeking his first collegiate action after being redshirted while Reed comes to Macon from Kennesaw Mountain High School.

HEAD COACH CRAIG GIBSON NINTH YEAR AT MERCER MERCER, 1985

Wi h a philosophy With hil h b based d on th the concepts t off striving t i i for f excellence ll in the classroom, reaching out in the community and team achievement on the field, ninth-year head coach Craig Gibson has led the Mercer baseball program to great success during his tenure. Since taking over for long-time skipper Barry Myers in 2004, Gibson has guided the Bears from the depths of the A-Sun Conference to one of the most respected programs in the southeast. With a career 239-212 record, Gibson once again has the Bears poised for success on the national stage in 2012 thanks to his prowess in player development and recruiting.

PREVIEW

After all the success the Bears had in 2010, you would think 2011 would be destined to be a down year for Mercer, but that was hardly the case. Mercer finished the campaign with a 39-20 overall record and a runner-up finish in the A-Sun Championship. The Bears 39 wins tied a program record for most wins in a single-season and their 77 wins over the past two campaigns puts the Orange and Black in a tie for the 28th most wins in the nation over that two-year period.

Despite losing to Belmont in the Championship round of the 2011 A-Sun Championship, Mercer finished its season with a No. 56 ranking in the National Ratings Percentage Index (RPI). Under Gibson, multiple Bears received postseason distinction including juniors Jacob Tanis and Brandon Love who were named to the A-Sun All-Conference first team. Tanis was also named a National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) second team All-American while catcher Austin Barrett and outfielder Derrick Workman were tabbed Freshman All-Americans. After a steady climb during the first six seasons of his tenure, Gibson’s efforts finally came to fruition in 2010 as he has guided the Bears to a 38-win season and the program’s first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance. Despite the preseason doubters, the 2010 season proved to be the most storied of the program’s 62-year history. Predicted to finish tied for sixth in the A-Sun Baseball Preseason Poll, Gibson guided Mercer to a 38-24 overall record and a 16-11 mark in conference play. The 38 wins were the second-most in program history while Mercer’s 16 conference victories were the most since a 19-11 A-Sun mark in 1999. Gibson, who garnered 2010 Georgia Dugout Club Division I Coach of the Year and 2010 SoutheasternBaseball.com Atlantic Sun Coach of the Year honors, directed the Orange and Black to their fourth Atlantic Sun Championship in program history and a No. 4 seed in the NCAA Atlanta Regional. The Bears didn’t stop there, however, as they defeated No. 3 seed Elon for their first-ever NCAA Tournament victory and took eventual Atlanta Regional champion Alabama down to the wire in a 5-3 defeat. Along the way, the 2010 Bears set numerous team records, including batting average (.340), runs per game (8.9) and hits (770). Gibson also tutored Consensus All-American Jacob Tanis and a total of four All A-Sun performers. 15 Bears earned A-Sun All-Academic honors in 2010, while sophomore Billy Burns garnered a CoSIDA ESPN the Magazine Academic All-District second team selection. After a nine and eight-game improvement in 2004 and 2005, Gibson’s first two years as head coach, the Bears 2006 season is the year that began the programs turnaround. Mercer catapulted from cellar-dweller to among the conference elite, finishing the season in third place in the standings at 34-26 overall and 19-11 in A-Sun play. The 2006 campaign produced the first 30-win season for Mercer since 1999, tied the school record for most A-Sun wins in school history and ended a seven-year postseason drought at the same time. Gibson and the Bears didn’t waste time dwelling on the success of the 2006 season. The program continued its momentum the next year, winning 33 games and finishing second in the A-Sun regular season standings in 2007. Despite a nine-game drop off in 2008, the Bears still managed 17 wins in conference play, helping them earn a third consecutive No. 2 seed in the A-Sun Tournament. The 2009 edition of the Bears finished with a 23-23 record and secured the programs fourth-straight A-Sun Tournament appearance.

2012 BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE

While riding the recent wave of success, the Bears have captured a number of program-defining victories over some of the nation’s elite. Mercer secured road wins at then No. 20 ranked UCF in 2004 and toppled No. 22 College of Charleston in 2005. In 2006, Mercer knocked off a pair of elite squads beating then No. 1 ranked Florida and No. 1 ranked Clemson in back-to-back weeks. The next year brought more of the same, as the men from Macon swept a two-game series from No. 2 ranked Miami, Fla. in Coral Gables to start the 2007 season. The Bears took down another SEC giant in 2009 when it defeated #6 Ole Miss in the Coca Cola Classic. Just as the Bears have excelled as a team under Gibson, there has been no shortage of individual achievements. Since 2006, eight Bears earned A-Sun All-Conference first team selections, with a total of 24 All-Conference honors given to players under Gibson’s watch. Two of those selections, 2006 closer Andrew Urena and 2010-2011 third baseman Jacob Tanis earned consensus All-American honors from several publications. A total of 14 players under Gibson’s tutelage have been drafted since the 2006 season. Urena (11th round, Chicago White Sox) and teammate Brantley New (27th round, Boston Red Sox) went in the 2006 Major League Baseball Draft. Reliever Cory Gearrin (4th round, Atlanta Braves) and catcher Josh Thompson (32nd round, Florida Marlins) were selected in the 2007 Draft. Outfielders Billy Burns (16th round, Atlanta Braves) and Matthew Crawford (23rd round, Anaheim Angels) along with pitcher Lath Guyer (48th round, Tampa Bay Rays) each had their names chosen in June of 2008. Starter Dan April (39th round, Tampa Bay Rays) was the Bears lone draftee in 2009, third baseman Jacob Tanis (26th round, Colorado Rockies) and second baseman DJ Johnson (21st round, New York Mets) were taken in the 2010 Draft, while third baseman Jacob Tanis (13th round, Oakland Athletics), starting pitcher Justice French (25th round, Cincinnati Reds), outfielder Joseph Winker (28th round, Los Angeles Dodgers) and outfielder Billy Burns (32nd round, Washington Nationals) were selected in the 2011 MLB Draft. While his dedication on the field is without question, it’s Gibson’s ability to push his players in the classroom that separates him from the rest. Mercer’s Academic Progress Rate (APR) has steadily improved under Gibson, now reflecting an outstanding four-year average of 974. Gibson started his career at Mercer as a player. In his junior year of 1985, the hard-hitting first baseman earned Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Year honors, while leading the Bears to an Atlantic Sun Championship. Gibson is one of only three Bears to earn A-Sun Player of the Year honors and the last Mercer player to claim the distinction. He still ranks in the Mercer single-season Top-10 in multiple statistical categories including batting average (T-8th), doubles (T-6th), home runs (8th), RBI (8th) and total bases (7th).

On top of his victories on the field, Gibson was a winner in the classroom, earning a bachelor’s degree in history and health, physical education and recreation in 1986, and a master’s of education in social science from Mercer in 1988.

COACHES

In August 1993, Gibson got the call to come home and serve as a full-time assistant under Myers. With his strong ties to Mercer and a wealth of coaching experience, it made former Athletics Director Bobby Pope’s choice an easy one when he elevated Gibson to the head job following Myers resignation.

PREVIEW

Following his playing career, Gibson served as a graduate assistant coach on Myers’ Mercer staff for two years. He then took over as the head baseball coach at Jupiter Community High School in Jupiter, Fla. for two years before moving over to Suncoast Community High School in Riviera Beach, Fla., for one season. Gibson wrapped up his high school coaching career in 1993 as the head coach at Palm Beach Gardens High School in Palm Beach, Fla.

ASSISTANT COACH BRENT SHADE FOURTH YEAR AT MERCER DEFIANCE, 2001

Dedication and passion are two words that can be used to describe Brent Shade, who is entering his fourth season mentoring Mercer’s pitching staff and his second as the Bears’ recruiting coordinator. Shade, who spent the previous four years in a similar duel role at Furman, joined Mercer’s staff for his first season in 2009.

PREVIEW

Under his guidance, the Orange and Black’s pitching staff has grown by leaps and bounds in his first two years. The quality of player signing with Mercer has also greatly improved, with his recruiting classes ranking among the best in the competitive southeast region.

2011 was Shade’s best year yet in command of a Mercer pitching staff that had its best collective season since the early 80’s. Mercer not only finished first in the Atlantic Sun Conference in team ERA (3.58) and second in strikeouts (452), it ranked 52nd and 32nd in the nation in each respective statistic. Mercer’s 3.58 ERA at the end of the 2011 campaign ranked as the fourth lowest team ERA in program history. Under Shade’s guidance, junior Brandon Love was selected to the A-Sun All-Conference first team while DJ Johnson and Brandon Barker were named A-Sun All-Freshman selections. Shade also saw his second pitcher drafted while in Macon, when senior Justice French was selected in the 25th round of the 2011 MLB Draft by the Cincinnati Reds. In 2010, Shade managed one of the best pitching staffs in the conference, utilizing a young but talented group of hurlers. The Bears posted a team 5.76 ERA in 2010, ranking third in the conference and 124th in the nation. The 5.76 ERA was the lowest mark posted by the Orange and Black since the 2007 season. Using Shade’s aggressive approach on the mound, Mercer ranked in the Top-100 nationally in three more statistical categories including 7.1 strikeouts per nine innings (99th), 10.4 hits allowed per nine innings (99th) and just 3.4 walks allowed per nine innings (79th). The Bears improved pitching was never more evident than in the 2010 Atlantic Sun Tournament. Mercer pitching allowed just 12 runs throughout the entire tournament, the fewest by a champion since FAU allowed only 11 runs in four contests in 2004. Individually, two of Shade’s recruits in freshman David Teasley and Matt McCall were rewarded for their individual accomplishments by being named to the 2010 A-Sun All-Freshman team. Shade’s first season at Mercer was marked with progress both on and off the field. Under Shade’s guidance, the Mercer pitching staff finished seventh in the Atlantic Sun with a team ERA of 6.39. Shade also came through big time off the field, bringing in a stellar 2010 recruiting class that should help keep Mercer among the A-Sun’s elite for years to come. Shade also produced his first draftee at Mercer when senior starter Dan April was taken in the 39th round of the 2009 MLB Draft by the Tampa Bay Rays. Before coming to Macon, Shade helped guide the Paladins to school-record 33 wins in 2008 as Furman finished third in the regular season in the competitive Southern Conference. During the Toledo, Ohio, native’s tenure in Greenville, S.C., the Paladins topped the 30-win plateau three times – which has only happened a total of five times in school history.

2012 BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE

Under Shade’s leadership in 2008, the Furman pitching staff issued the fewest number of walks in the SoCon for the fifth consecutive season. Two hurlers from that team are currently in the minor leagues as junior right-hander Jay Jackson was selected in the ninth round of the MLB Draft by the Chicago Cubs while senior right-hander Mason Smith graduated and signed a free agent contract with Washington Nationals. As pitching coach, Shade played an integral part in Furman’s 2005 SoCon Tournament championship and NCAA Tournament campaign that included victories over nationally 18th-ranked College World Series participant Tennessee, and a pair of victories over South Carolina for the program’s first regular-season sweep of the Gamecocks since 1953. In 2006, Furman recorded the SoCon’s third-best ERA (4.45), matched a then-school record with 32 wins and finished third in the regular conference standings. In 2007, another Shade student, right-hander Matt Klinker, headlined Furman’s pitching staff and was selected by the Cincinnati Reds in the 15th round of the Major League Draft. Prior to arriving at Furman in 2005, Shade served as pitching coach at Heidelberg (Ohio) College for two seasons, helping the Student Princes to a 64-26 record, including a 2003 Ohio Athletic Conference regular- season crown and 2004 OAC Tournament title. The 2004 squad also made the school’s first-ever appearance in the NCAA Division III Tournament. “Brent will not only add to our program on the field but he also has a firm grasp of our academic environment,” added Gibson. “He understands the academic profile of our student-athletes and the importance we place on that area. We are certainly excited about the future of our pitching staff in Brent’s hands.” Shade played at Missouri Valley College and lettered three seasons as a starting pitcher. He transferred to Defiance (Ohio) College, where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in business management. He was awarded an MBA from Heidelberg in 2004.

-Mercer University and City of Macon Snapshots

THIS IS MERCE What distinguishes a good university from a great university extends far beyond the boundaries of its curriculum and its campus.

The competence and character of an institutionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graduates are, more often than not, the hallmarks by which its reputation is both earned and measured. As a private, co-educational institution, Mercer University has emerged as one of the premier universities in the Southeast and the nation. Mercer is truly a dynamic and comprehensive center of undergraduate, graduate and professional education. Mercerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outstanding faculty take students beyond the rigors of academic programs to explore the challenges of reason, responsibility, compassion and character. Through learning, living and leading, Mercer students are prepared not only to confront, but also to embrace the challenges of their future. Under the leadership of prominent Georgia Baptist leader Jesse Mercer, Mercer University was founded in Penfield, Ga., in 1833 and later moved to Macon in 1871. From its humble beginnings as a small liberal arts college, Mercer now offers programs in 11 schools and colleges. Conveniently located in the middle of the state, Macon serves as the educational, medical, cultural and commercial hub of central Georgia. Located just one hour from Atlanta - one of

ER... the nation’s most popular international cities - and two hours from the Atlantic coast, Macon is easily accessible from two interstate highways - I-75 and I-16. Consistently ranked by U.S. News & World Report and The Princeton Review among the nation’s leading universities, Mercer considers one of its strengths to be its superior faculty, who “teach from the heart.” At Mercer, students benefit from learning experiences guided by caring faculty, not teaching assistants found at many universities as is the case at many universities. The Higher Education Research Institute at UCLA recently named Mercer as a “highly selective” university, and The Princeton Review has placed Mercer among the Best 351 Colleges in North America. The University is comprised of the College of Liberal Arts, the Walter F. George School of Law, the School of Pharmacy and Health Services, the School of Medicine, the Eugene W. Stetson School of Business and Economics, the School of Engineering, the James and Carolyn McAfee School of Theology, the Tift College of Education, the Georgia Baptist College of Nursing, the College of Continuing and Professional Studies, and the Townsend School of Music. The University also operates the Mercer University Press in Macon and the Mercer Engineering Research Center in Warner Robins. Mercer’s enrollment is nearly 8,100 students. While many students come from the Southeast, more than 38 states and 30 countries are represented among the student body. The average class size at Mercer is 21, with a student/faculty ratio of 13:1 - unusually low for a major university.

CAMPUS LIFE Even with its picturesque setting, the spirit of Mercer is not in the grandeur of its buildings, but in the graciousness of its people - a friendly, family-like community of faculty, staff and students who strive for excellence in all that they do. The University offers a wealth of fascinating experiences and activities both in and outside the classroom. From academic clubs and honor societies, to performing arts and special interest groups, to 16 national fraternities and sororities on campus, students can choose from more than 80 on-campus organizations to discover new talents and interests and to gain important leadership skills they will need for life after college.

RESIDENCE LIFE The benefits of campus living are numerous - the development l off life-long friendships, a sense of community, enhancing campus involvement and higher academic performance. For many new students, this is the first time they have lived away from home, and the community that develops on campus and in residence halls becomes a second family. All freshman and sophomores (first-year and/or transfer students) are required to live on campus, with the exception of married students, students above the age of 21, students with children and/or students who live at home with a parent or guardian within reasonable commuting distance. In each of Mercerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s residence halls, safety comes first and foremost. The exterior doors are locked at all times, and students use their identification cards to gain access into their residence hall.

MERCER UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT WILLIAM D. UNDERWOOD

President Underwood has led Mercer during a period of dynamic growth and development for the University. Since his arrival as Mercer’s 18th President in 2006, enrollment has increased by approximately 15 percent to more than 8,000 students. Mercer has launched a second medical school campus (in Savannah), initiated a master’s-level physician assistant program, announced a doctorallevel program in physical therapy that will begin in 2010, and added Ph.D. programs in Educational Leadership, Curriculum and Instruction, and Nursing. Reflecting an increased emphasis on research, Mercer will meet the criteria established by the Carnegie Foundation for reclassification as a research-doctoral university during the 2009-10 academic year. Over the past three years, the number of Ph.D. students has increased from fewer than 25 to approximately 200, while the amount of externally funded research expenditures has grown to nearly $25 million. In addition to increased levels of funding from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation, Mercer scientists have for the first time been funded as eminent cancer scientists by the Georgia Cancer Coalition, while other Mercer scientists are now receiving funding to support their research through the Georgia Research Alliance. The University has intensified its longstanding commitment to service-learning and community engagement under President Underwood’s leadership. During the spring of 2009, Mercer announced a $5 million grant from the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation to support continued revitaliza-

tion of the College Hill Corridor between campus and downtown Macon. The groundbreaking Mercer On Mission program, launched in 2007, has been recognized by the Clinton Global Initiative as “an exemplary approach to addressing a specific global challenge.” Mercer earned the highest federal recognition for community engagement by the Corporation for National and Community Service in 2009, and in 2008 became the only university in Georgia to receive the Carnegie Foundation’s designation for “Curricular Engagement and Outreach and Partnerships.” Prior to joining Mercer, President Underwood served at Baylor University as Interim President and held the prestigious Leon Jaworski Chair at the Baylor School of Law. President Underwood is an accomplished educator and scholar. He was designated a Master Teacher at Baylor in recognition of extraordinary classroom teaching over an extended period. He is an elected member of the American Law Institute and the American Bar Foundation. President Underwood was awarded the J.D. degree summa cum laude by the University of Illinois College of Law in 1985, where he graduated as class salutatorian and was an editor of the University of Illinois Law Review. Following graduation, he clerked for the Honorable Sam D. Johnson of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, prior to practicing law for several years with a large law firm in Dallas. He also holds an undergraduate degree from Oklahoma Baptist University, where he met his spouse, Lesli. They have two children, Jessica and William.

Jim Cole assumed the duties of Director of Athletics for Mercer University on July 1, 2010. Prior to that, he served as MU’s Senior Associate Director of Athletics for External Affairs, heading up the Mercer Athletics Foundation (the fund-raising arm for Bears’ athletics) concurrent with his time as a State Representative in Georgia. A native of Augusta, Cole entered Mercer on an academic scholarship in 1990 and lettered in baseball from 1990 to 1993. He was recipient of the Charles C. Morgan Outstanding Student-Athlete Award and graduated with honors from the University in 1993. Cole was drafted as a pitcher by the Milwaukee Brewers in 1993 and was named the franchise’s “Organizational Player of the Year” and a finalist for the TOPPS Minor League “Player of the Year Award” in 1994. After an injury ended his professional baseball career, he returned to Mercer in 1997 to earn his MBA while serving as a graduate assistant and pitching coach for the baseball team. In 1998 he served as pitching coach for the Madison Black Wolves minor league team in Madison, Wis. Cole then entered private business before being elected to the Georgia House of Representatives in 2004 (and serving in that capacity until 2010).

His legislative duties included membership on the Appropriations Economic Development Sub-Committee (to oversees important areas of the budget that deal with agriculture, community affairs, economic development and transportation). In addition, Cole served on the Rules, Judiciary NonCivil and State Planning and Community Affairs Committees. Gov.

Even after leaving the political arena to assume the role as Mercers A.D., Cole was called on to continue his commitment of service to the people of the state of Georgia. In 2010, he was elected by his former constituents in Georgia’s House and Senate to represent the 8th Congressional District on the state’s Department of Transportation Board.

Cole is an active community leader throughout the state. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Georgia Chamber of Commerce.

The Mercer Athletic Foundation’s goal is to enhance and grow the ‘athletic experience’ for the student-athletes who follow in the footsteps of those who, like myself, were fortunate enough to represent the Orange & Black in intercollegiate athletics competition. Your gifts and contributions to the MAF are what make it possible for this to happen, so please consider how you can ‘Be the Bear’ today!”

OPPONENTS RECORDS

The experiences I gained as a Mercer student and athlete have proven invaluable in both my personal and professional life. Mercer offers its students an education - both on and off the field - that is as functional as it is respected in today’s world. A Mercer degree tells people that you have been a part of something special.

Strength and Conditioning The strength and conditioning program at Mercer has three primary goals. These goals are to maximize athleticism, minimize injuries and increase mental/physical toughness. The way this is accomplished is by primarily utilizing ground based, multi-joint, triple extension, explosive exercises. Athletes will perform exercises of all types but focus is put on three main exercise styles: Olympic lifting, power lifting and plyometrics. The goal is to try and replicate the movements, velocities and forces that are experienced during competition of the athlete's sport. Served by a professional full-time strength and conditioning coach as well as an assistant coach, Mercer Athletics provides a full range of weight training and exercise equipment to assist Mercer’s approximately 226 student-athletes in reaching their athletic potential through strength training and conditioning. Easily accessible from anywhere in the University Center, the equipment includes the following: • three top of the line power lift full racks • over 3,000 pounds of plates • a line of variable resistant machines • three sets of Iron Grip dumbbells • five free standing adjustable benches
