2014 Mercer Baseball Media Guide

2014 SEASON PREVIEW Who is Mercer? Where is Mercer? Are you guys Division I? These are the questions 11th-year head coach Craig Gibson was asked regularly when on the road playing BCS teams such as Georgia, Georgia Tech, Mississippi State, Notre Dame, South Florida, Saint John’s and Ohio State. As all those schools learned, and what the rest of the country is quickly starting to realize, is that Mercer baseball is a force to be reckoned with and has firmly established itself as one of the top programs in the nation. That statement holds more merit now than ever following Mercer’s banner 2013 campaign that was capped by the Bears earning an at-large bid to participate in the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship as the No. 3 seed in the Starkville Regional. A program record 43 wins and the first Atlantic Sun Conference Regular Season Title in program history were among several highlights in a year to remember. However, 2013 is but a memory now and the 2014 campaign is just around the corner and Coach Gibson knows the Bears will have a target on their backs starting on February 14 against High Point.

PITCHERS

“We know we are entering this season with a lot of people wondering how we will perform following all the success of last season and if we can play at such a high level consistently year in and year out and I think we can,” Gibson said. “We are definitely going to be the hunted this season as we have already been picked to win our league by a few different people, but like I always tell our guys its a privilege to be the team to beat. 2013 was a special year, but we have a lot of talent back from that group on this year’s squad that I think can carry us to another strong season in 2014.

If there is one area of the 2014 edition of the Bears that is a question mark heading into this season, its their pitching staff. With the graduation of David Teasley, the NCAA all-time leader in career relief appearances, and the loss of senior starting pitcher DJ Johnson, who is ineligible this season due to academic issues, holes need to be filled in both the Bears weekend rotation and bullpen.

coaches

One area of Mercer’s pitching rotation that is as stable as ever is the staff ace position which will once again be held down by senior Brandon Barker. Barker stepped into the Friday night starter role last season and had a career year compiling a sparkling 7-2 record, finishing third in the A-Sun with 79 strikeouts, sixth with a 2.66 ERA and 10th in the league with a .257 opponents’ batting average. The Woodstock, Ga. native was rewarded for his success both on the field and in the classroom when he was named the A-Sun Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year and voted onto the A-Sun All-Conference second team.

bears

Senior Stephen Glaze, junior Mitchell Wade and sophomore Ben Spears also return to the Bears pitching this season and will look to log more innings in middle relief for Coach Gibson. Freshmen Austin Lord, Ryan Askew, Bryce Conley, Peter Talisse and Cam Wesolowski also look to break into Mercer’s pitching rotation in 2014. MERCERBEARS.com

mercer

Joining Kourtis in the back end of the bullpen once again in 2014 are juniors Morgan Pittman and Ben Lumsden. Pittman finished tied for fifth in the A-Sun Conference with 31 appearances and amassed a 1-0 record with a 3.99 ERA while striking out 32 batters in only 29.1 innings pitched. Lumsden took a big step forward as one of the top Bears relievers last season after going 5-2 on the year with a 5.20 ERA, 49 strikeouts and allowing only 11 extra-base hits in 55.1 innings pitched.

records

The Bears do have three of their top relievers back in the fold from 2013, including highly regarded closer Dimitri Kourtis. Kourtis finished tied for second in the A-Sun with 34 appearances and assembled a 5-3 record to go along with a 2.94 ERA and 60 strikeouts in 67.1 innings pitched. The Alpharetta, Ga. product led the A-Sun Conference and ranked 66th in the nation with nine saves in 2013 on his way to being named to the A-Sun All-Conference first team.

review

Joining Barker in the weekend rotation for Mercer is a pair of juniors in Eric Nyquist and Grant Papelian. Nyquist went 1-1 with a 4.25 ERA and 17 strikeouts in 29.2 innings pitched last season and will look to build on a strong summer he put together when he was ranked as the 59th-best prospect in the vaunted Northwoods League according to PerfectGame.org. Papelian was in and out of Mercer’s weekend rotation throughout last season, ranking third on the team with 10 games started after compiled a 3-4 overall record to go along with a 5.60 ERA in 53.0 innings pitched.

2014 Mercer Baseball Media Guide

2014 SEASON PREVIEW CONT. CATCHERS Senior Austin Barrett has already been penciled in as the opening day catcher by Coach Gibson after rotating between first base and catcher for much of the last two seasons. Barrett appeared in 59 games last season and finished fourth on the team hitting .309 to go along with a .442 slugging percentage, six home runs and career-best totals of 67 hits, 11 doubles and 45 RBI. Backing up Barrett will be sophomore Robert Sanchez and true freshman Charlie Madden. INFIELDERS The Bears infield returns a wealth of talent and experience with starters back at three positions including junior Chesny Young at third base, senior Nick Backlund at first base and senior Michael Massi at shortstop. Young established himself as one of the most gifted pure hitters in all of college baseball after leading the A-Sun Conference and finishing sixth in the nation with a remarkable .401 batting average. Young became just the sixth player in Mercer program history to hit over .400 in a single-season while breaking the Mercer single-season record and finishing second in the country with 105 hits. The Atlanta, Ga. native earned several honors for his play in 2013 including being named the A-Sun Conference Player of the Year and selected on the ABCA/Rawlings All-American third team.

Massi won the starting second baseman job in his first season in Macon in 2013 and will see time at both shortstop and second base in 2014. Massi hit .273 for the year with 41 runs scored, nine doubles, two home runs and 29 RBI while finishing tied for second in the A-Sun Conference and 78th in the nation with 21 stolen bases. Massi also fielded .989 on the year from his second base position and was recently rewarded when he was named the 2014 A-Sun Conference Preseason Defensive Player of the Year. Gordon College transfer Devin Bonin is slated as the new everyday second baseman for the Bears due to Massiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s move to shortstop to take over for departed four-year starter Evan Boyd. Redshirt freshman Howard Joe joins freshmen Nathaniel Lowe, Danny Edgeworth and Matt Meeder to add infield depth both up the middle and on the corners and will be battling it out for at-bats throughout the season. OUTFIELDERS

Workman assembled yet another stunning season at the plate last season, cementing himself as one of the top outfield talents in the country. Workman finished the season ranking seventh in the A-Sun Conference with a career-best .338 batting average while ranking third in the league with a .440 on-base percentage and fourth with a .560 slugging percentage and nine home runs. The Acworth, Ga. native was not only an A-Sun All-Conference first team performer, but was honored by being one of just 11 players in the country named a 2013 Capital One Academic All-America first team member. LaGarde burst onto the scene in his first season in Macon, stepping right into the leadoff hitter role in the Bears lineup due to his ability to get on base in a variety of ways. LaGarde finished fourth on the club with a .308 batting average and third on the team with seven home runs. Most importantly, the Montreal, Quebec product scored a staggering 68 runs last season which ranked first in the A-Sun Conference, seventh in the country and tied for the fourth-most in a single-season in Mercer program history.

Mercer also returns all three starting outfielders from 2013 in seniors Derrick Workman and Sasha LaGarde and junior Nate Moorhouse providing the team with a potent mixture of offense, speed and defense.

Backlund continued to prove he is one of the most consistent and threatening sluggers in the nation with another stellar season at the dish. Backlund hit .326 last season while leading the A-Sun Conference with a .579 slugging percentage, 22 doubles, 13 home runs and 68 RBI. The San Jose, Calif. product also ranked second in the A-Sun with 140 total bases and sixth with a .426 on-base percentage on his way to being named an A-Sun All-Conference first team and NCBWA All-America second team member.

Moorhouse returns to his left field spot in the Bears outfield after fully recovering from a serious leg injury that sidelined him for most of last season. Moorhouse was hitting .318, stole five bases and collected five extra-base hits (two doubles, one triple and two home runs) in just 44 at-bats before suffering a season-ending leg injury against Indiana State on March 8. Senior Kelcey Butts returns to the Bears outfield mix as well in 2014 and will look to resume his role as a pinch runner and late-game defensive specialist. Freshman Kyle Lewis will also look to break into the Mercer outfield rotation after a stellar high school career at Shiloh High School.

CRAIG GIBSON

11TH SEASON AT MERCER MERCER ‘85

With a philosophy based on the concepts of striving for excellence in the classroom, reaching out in the community and team achievement on the field, 11th-year head coach Craig Gibson has led the Mercer baseball program to unparalleled success during his tenure.

2013 saw the Mercer baseball program reach new heights with its highest national ranking in program history, its first Atlantic Sun Conference Regular Season Title in program history and its second NCAA Tournament appearance, via an at-large bid, in school history. Under Gibson’s tutelage the Bears compiled a 43-18 overall record in 2013, setting the school record for most wins in a single-season. Mercer finished the season with a 20-7 A-Sun Conference record to capture its first Atlantic Sun Conference Regular Season Title in program history. All the Bears success was not lost on the rest of the country, as Mercer set a new program record for the highest national ranking in program history when it was ranked No. 21 in the Perfect Game Top-25 poll. Ranked in the top-30 in the ratings percentage index (RPI) almost all season long, the Bears finished 2013 ranked No. 37 in the RPI according to NCAA.com, Boyd’s World and WarrenNolan.com.

The Bears kept their string of recent success going in 2012 with yet another stellar season on the diamond. The squad finished with a 38-21 overall record and in the process set a new program record for most regular season wins, with 37, breaking the old mark of 36 back in 1981. The Orange and Black clinched a spot in the A-Sun Championship on the final day of the regular season, marking Mercer’s seventh-straight appearance in the conference postseason tournament. The young 2012 Bears squad also showed they aren’t afraid of the big boys, notching wins over eventual ACC and SEC champions Georgia Tech and Mississippi State, respectively. 2012 also brought multiple individual awards for players coach by Gibson. Sophomore Nick Backlund shined in his first year at Mercer and was named to the Louisville Slugger All-American first team, the NCBWA All-America second team, ABCA/Rawlings All-South Region second team and the ABCA/Rawlings All-South Region first team. Freshman Chesny Young made history as he was the first Mercer player named the A-Sun Conference Freshman of the Year. Young was also named to the Louisville Slugger Freshmen All-American Team while sophomore Derrick Workman was voted onto the A-Sun All-Conference first team and A-Sun Academic All-Conference first team.

Gibson was recognized for Mercer’s banner season by being named the 2013 Atlantic Sun Conference Coach of the Year. The honor brings Gibson’s A-Sun Conference career full circle as he became the first person in league history to be named both Coach of the Year and Player of the Year, which he secured back in 1985. Hardly alone in receiving individual accolades, Gibson saw several of his players take home substantial hardware including sophomore third baseman Chesny Young who, along with an ABCA/Rawlings All-American third team selection, became the first Mercer player to win the Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Year since Gibson did it in 1985. Junior Nick Backlund garnered NCBWA All-America second team and ABCA/Rawlings All-South Region second team honors, junior Derrick Workman was named a Capital One Academic All-America first team member and junior Brandon Barker was named the A-Sun Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

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 320-251 record, Gibson once again has the Bears poised for success on the national stage in 2014 thanks to his prowess in player development and recruiting.

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 is tied for the second-most wins in a singleseason in program history while their 77 wins over the 2010 and 2011 campaigns was tied 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 one of 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 fourth-most in a single-season 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.

MERCERBEARS.com

2014 Mercer Baseball Media Guide 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 1911 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. 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 has secured 14 wins over ranked foes under Gibson’s tenure including wins over then No. 1 ranked Florida and No. 1 ranked Clemson in 2006, a two-game series sweep at No. 2 ranked Miami to start the 2007 season, a neutral site win over No. 6 Ole Miss in the Coca Cola Classic in 2009, a pair of wins against a No. 6 and No. 9 ranked Georgia Tech team in 2011 and a three-game home series sweep of No. 24 FGCU in 2013. Just as the Bears have excelled as a team under Gibson, there has been no shortage of individual achievements. Since 2006, 14 Bears earned A-Sun AllConference first team selections, with a total of 37 All-Conference honors given to players under Gibson’s watch. Four of those selections, closer Andrew Urena (2006), third baseman Jacob Tanis (2010-11), designated hitter Nick Backlund (2012-13) and third baseman Chesny Young (2013) earned 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.

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.

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

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.

preview

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).

A native of Macon, Ga., Gibson and his wife Diane have two children, Lindsey (23) and Tyler (20).

BRENT SHADE

SIXTH SEASON AT MERCER DEFIANCE ‘01

Dedication and passion are two words that can be used to describe associate head coach Brent Shade, who is entering his sixth season mentoring Mercer’s pitching staff and his fifth as the Bears’ recruiting coordinator. Shade, who spent the previous four years as the pitching coach and recruiting coordinator at Furman, joined Mercer’s staff for his first season in 2009. The Toledo, Ohio native was recently promoted to the title of Associate Head Coach in June of 2012.

Under his guidance, the Orange and Black’s pitching staff has grown by leaps and bounds in his first five 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. Just a few of Shade’s notable signees with the Bears include First Team All-American Nick Backlund, Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Year Chesny Young and First Team Academic All-American Derrick Workman. 2013 saw the Mercer baseball program reach new heights with its highest national ranking in program history, its first Atlantic Sun Conference Regular Season Title in program history and its second NCAA Tournament appearance, via an at-large bid, in school history. Shade’s pitching staff helped the Bears to a 43-18 overall record in 2013, setting the school record for most wins in a single-season. Under Shade’s tutelage, his very talented pitching staff posted a 4.15 team ERA and led the A-Sun Conference with 477 strikeouts. Mercer also graded well on the national stage numbers wise, ranking 13th in the country with a 2.79-to-1.0 strikeout-to-walk ratio, 21st in strikeouts and 27th with just 2.82 walks allowed per nine innings. 2013 was a memorable one for Shade, as one of his first recruits at Mercer, senior reliever David Teasley, broke the all-time NCAA record for most relief appearances in a career with 152 outings. Two of Shade’s pitchers received noteworthy postseason honors as sophomore Dimitri Kourtis was named an A-Sun All-Conference first team selection while junior Brandon Barker was named the A-Sun Scholar-Athlete of the Year and also selected as an A-Sun All-Conference second team performer. 2012 was Shade’s best year yet in command of a Mercer pitching staff that arguably had its best collective season in program history. Despite having just one senior who threw a considerable amount of innings, Shade guided the Bears to a new program record 3.32 team ERA. Mercer finished the season ranked second in the A-Sun Conference in both team ERA and strikeouts (448) despite having six freshman pitchers throw 19.0 innings or more. The Orange and Black finished 2012 ranked 38th in the nation in team ERA and 23rd with a 2.6-to-1.0 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Junior David Teasley was named an A-Sun All-Conference second team member while freshman Dimitri Kourtis was voted onto the A-Sun All-Freshman team under Shade’s watch. Mercer’s pitching staff, led by a core group of veterans, took another big step under Shade proving to be one of the best in the country in 2011. The Bears not only finished first in the Atlantic Sun Conference in team ERA (3.58) and second in strikeouts (452), they 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. MERCERBEARS.com

2014 Mercer Baseball Media Guide 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 did come through big time off the field, bringing in a stellar 2010 recruiting class that has kept Mercer among the A-Sun’s elite. 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. 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 9th 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 College World Series participant Tennessee, and a pair of victories over South Carolina for the program’s first regularseason 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 regularseason 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. preview

On August 18, 2012, Shade married Whitney Harden in her hometown of Thomasville, Ga.

TY MEGAHEE

FIRST SEASON AT MERCER MERCER ‘06

Looking to expand upon the winningest four-year run in program history, head coach Craig Gibson announced the addition of former Auburn assistant coach Ty Megahee to the Mercer baseball coaching staff on July 11, 2013. Gibson went with a familiar face to fill his hitting coach vacancy, as Megahee returns to his alma mater after serving as a volunteer assistant coach under Gibson from 2007-2009. “I am very excited that we were able to hire Ty and I think he will be a great addition to our coaching staff,” Gibson said. “His experience at Auburn and working in the SEC will be key in helping us excel in the recruiting circuit. I have known Ty for a long time and his personality and work ethic are exactly what we were looking for in this position and I have no doubt his coaching knowledge and ability will help keep our program at a very high level.” Megahee will serve as the new hitting instructor for a Bears offense that ranked in the top-15 nationally in walks (6th – 309), runs (6th – 446), home runs (7th – 56), runs per game (8th – 7.3) and on-base percentage (13th - .402) last season. Megahee will also coach first base and work with a Mercer defense that led the NCAA and set a new Atlantic Sun Conference record with a .982 team fielding percentage in 2013.

Megahee comes to Mercer after spending the previous four seasons at SEC power Auburn. From 2010-2012, Megahee served as the Volunteer Assistant Coach at Auburn before being elevated to Assistant Coach for the 2013 season. Auburn posted a 136-101 record in Megahee’s four seasons on the Plains, including an SEC Western Division Title in 2010. That year, Auburn hosted an NCAA Regional and finished ranked No. 19 in the country. While at Auburn, Megahee filled a variety of roles. Megahee served as the team’s outfield coach in 2010 and 2011, coached the team’s catchers in 2012 and worked with the catchers and infielders in 2013. He spent two seasons as Auburn’s first-base coach and two seasons as the team’s third-base coach. Megahee also played an instrumental role with the Tigers offense. Auburn led the SEC in hitting in two of Megahee’s four years at Auburn. In 2010, the Tigers hit a school-record .348 as team. That team also led the nation in home runs (131) and slugging percentage (.591) and finished in the top-10 nationally in hits (816), runs scored (584) and runs per game (9.1). The 2012 edition of the Tigers led the SEC in team batting average (.304), hits (610), on-base percentage (.386) and stolen bases (113). Individual accomplishments were the norm at Auburn during Megahee’s stay. First baseman Hunter Morris was named the SEC Player of the Year in 2010. Morris and outfielder Brian Fletcher were also named first team All-Americans that year. Auburn had 25 players drafted during Megahee’s tenure. 15 of those were position players, including Morris (4th round), Trent Mummey (4th round), Dan Gamache (6th round) and Garrett Cooper (6th Round). In his nine years as an assistant coach, Megahee has seen 32 of his former player go on to play professional baseball. Auburn’s recruiting also flourished with Megahee on staff. Auburn’s 2012 signing class was ranked No. 9 in the country by Perfect Game. That class also included two first-round draft picks in David Dahl and Addison Russell. Auburn’s 2013 class that Megahee helped bring to the Plains was ranked No. 13 in the country according to Baseball America. Prior to his time at Auburn, Megahee spent one season as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Monmouth. In his lone season at Monmouth, the Hawks captured the 2009 Northeast Conference Championship and played in the NCAA Regionals in Oxford, Mississippi. That season, Monmouth had two players drafted and four named to the NEC All-Conference team. The Hawks hit .318 as a team in 2009 and set a school record with 100 stolen bases. Megahee’s sole recruiting class was ranked in the top-100 nationally by Perfect Game. From 2006-2008, Megahee served as the volunteer assistant coach at Mercer. Megahee played an integral role in the growth of Mercer’s program. Mercer appeared in three consecutive Atlantic Sun Tournaments during Megahee’s first stint with the Bears, including two A-Sun Tournament runnerup finishes. A native of Norman Park, Ga., Megahee was a two-year starting shortstop for the Bears after transferring to Mercer from Darton College. A career .285 hitter at Mercer, Megahee was named an Academic All-Conference selection in 2005 after leading the Bears to a 28-26 record for their first .500 or better season since 1999. Megahee graduated from Mercer with a bachelor’s degree in education in 2006 and earned a master’s degree in education in 2008.

2013 NCAA STARKVILLE REGIONAL

Mark the NCAA Tournament Selection Committee as among the believers that Mercer’s baseball program is among the tops in the country. The Bears produced a 43-18 overall record in 2013, set a new program record for most wins in a single-season and won the program’s first-ever Atlantic Sun Conference Regular Season Title. Mercer’s magical run didn’t end there, however, as the team made its second NCAA Division I Baseball Championship appearance in the last four years when it was awarded an at-large bid as the No. 3 seed in the Starkville Regional. The Bears set a new program record for the highest national ranking in program history when they were ranked No. 21 in the Perfect Game Top-25 poll. Mercer was ranked in the top-30 in the ratings percentage index (RPI) almost all season long, before finishing 2013 ranked No. 37 in the RPI.

-Snapshot of Mercer University

THE MErcEr EXPErIENcE... A

s one of America’s oldest and most distinctive institutions of higher learning, Mercer University’s mission is to teach, to learn, to create, to discover, to inspire, to empower and to serve. In fulfilling this mission, the University supports undergraduate, graduate and professional learning, as well as basic research and its application in service to others. Founded by Baptists in 1833, Mercer is an independent university that remains grounded in a tradition that embraces freedom of the mind and spirit, cherishes the equal worth of every individual and commits to serving the needs of humankind. With more than 8,300 students enrolled in 12 schools and colleges on campuses in Macon, Atlanta and Savannah, Mercer has a strong presence in Georgia. However, its more than 68,000 alumni are making important contributions to their professions and communities around the world. Mercer is consistently ranked among the nation’s leading institutions by such publications as U.S. News & World Report, which named the University the No. 1 value in the South in 2012 and No. 6 on its list of “up-and-coming” schools.

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 of 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.

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 revitalization 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.
