On Your Campus... Alabama president dr. Stuart R. bell Dr. Stuart R. Bell became the 29th president of The University of Alabama on July 15, 2015. Founded in 1831, the University is the state’s flagship and a student-centered, comprehensive research university. Dr. Bell has broad administrative experience and is a nearly 30-year veteran of higher education. He previously served at UA for 16 years where he founded and directed an interdisciplinary research center. “I certainly look forward to leading this university as its next president and working alongside the many men and women who have made it a great university today and who will also make it a great university in the future,” Bell said on the day he was named UA president. “It’s just great to be here in Tuscaloosa, and it’s great to be in Alabama and to, once again, be able to say Roll Tide!” Immediately prior to becoming UA’s president, Dr. Bell was executive vice president and provost at Louisiana State University. During Dr. Bell’s tenure there and earlier at the University of Kansas, where he served as dean of its College of Engineering, those institutions opened new facilities, and student recruitment, retention and success were emphasized. First joining UA in 1986 as an assistant professor in the UA College of Engineering’s department of mechanical engineering, Dr. Bell was named department head nine years later. With research interest in combustion engines, Dr. Bell has expertise in alternative fuels for engines, innovative engine designs and modeling of engine and engine processes. He directed UA’s Center for Advanced Vehicle Technologies. Dr. Bell was awarded the Society of Automotive Engineers’ Ralph Teetor Award for Outstanding Contributions to Research and Teaching in 1988. He was presented the T. Morris Hackney Faculty Leadership Award for the UA College of Engineering in 2001, and, in 2005, he received the Richard S. Woodbury Award from the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. A native of Abilene, Texas, Dr. Bell earned a nuclear engineering degree from Texas A&M University in 1979. He earned his master’s and doctorate degrees in mechanical engineering from Texas A&M in 1981 and 1986, respectively. He and his wife, Susan, have three adult children, Stuart, Stacy and Stephen.

ROLL MODELS
Alabama baseball gives back to the community and builds team unity The Alabama baseball team spent much of the 2015 fall working out and preparing for the upcoming season, but in their spare time the team was very active in the Tuscaloosa area with numerous community service projects, while also taking part in numerous team-building events and opportunities. The team visited schools and hosted Halloween and Christmas parties for a number of school-aged children, all a part of head coach Mitch Gaspard’s plan of being active and giving back to a community that has supported the Crimson Tide for many years. The baseball team has continually been recognized for their volunteership in the Tuscaloosa community, once again working the most community service hours of any Male sport at Alabama during the 2014-15 year. “We want to be the most active team on the Alabama campus,” Gaspard said. “We put in a lot of hours this fall, supporting the community and local schools. When fans come to watch us play, we want them to see our guys as more than just baseball players. Our support in the community is important. We have a lot of loyal baseball fans in Tuscaloosa and this is our way to give back and thank them for all of their support. We had a busy fall and we will continue to support the community this spring as well.” The baseball team spent numerous hours in the Tuscaloosa community, opening the fall season with an autograph signing for Alabama baseball fans on the Quad prior to the Oct. 10 football game against Arkansas. Coach Gaspard and his team met with fans of all ages and signed the team’s poster for the upcoming year to build excitement about the new facilities, the team and the 2016 season. Next, the baseball team traveled to the Miracle League of Tuscaloosa to visit with the players. The Miracle League’s mission is to allow every child a chance to play baseball, providing a safe and enjoyable baseball experience for players with mental or physical disabilities regardless of his or her previous experience or level of ability. Alabama players interacted with the athletes, signed autographs and took pictures during the day’s event. Later in the fall, the team took part in the Athletic Department’s yearly Halloween Extravaganza inside the Hank Crisp Indoor Football Facility. The event provides Tuscaloosa youth with the opportunity to dress up and

HALLOWEEN EXTRAVAGANZA Just before Halloween in October, the baseball team joined their fellow student-athletes and spent a Monday evening at the Hank Crisp Indoor Football Facility taking part in the Athletics Department’s annual Halloween Extravaganza. Each year, athletes from various sports participate in a Halloween celebration for the children of Tuscaloosa, providing the kids a chance to interact with Alabama athletes and join the athletes in sport-specific mini-games and activities that make for a fun-filled holiday event.
come interact with Crimson Tide studentathletes. The event features sport-specific stations that allow each team to interact closely with the children and help them enjoy an early Halloween. As the break neared, the baseball team begin its holiday efforts by partnering with High Socks for Hope, the non-profit organization created by former Alabama standout and current Chicago White Sox closer David Robertson. The Crimson Tide players, along with volunteers from Robertson’s charity, packed boxes full of food and then delivered those packages to nearly 200 veterans in the Tuscaloosa community. The players then followed up their holiday efforts by taking part in Project Angel Tree. The team spent an afternoon at the Sprayberry Education Center, where the players and staff hosted a Christmas party for the students and faculty at the school. Sprayberry is the special education facility for the Tuscaloosa County School System and serves the needs of children in five different
programs, including preschool, multiple disabilities, autism, alternative and TARGET, for gifted education. One of the main things the baseball team focuses on is giving back to others, and using those events as opportunities to also better the bond between teammates. Teamwork and unity are key attributes of the Alabama baseball team, but each season that bond can be strengthened. A means for building that team unity this season came from a visit to Baseball Country as well as the annual “Battle for the Hammer” event. In both instances, the team split into pairs or teams to compete in athletic events, not necessarily specific to baseball, to earn bragging rights but to also build a sense of comradery within the team. The Alabama baseball team wrapped 2015 with a team Christmas party at Coach Andy Phillips’ house. The party was a way for the team to wind down the fall and also help spend some quality time together before the spring season began.
SIGNING ON THE QUAD Prior to the Arkansas football game on Oct. 10, the team headed out to the Quad for an autograph signing with the Alabama fans. The players signed autographs, took pictures with fans and spent time talking with each person that came to the table, all while handing out the 2016 season posters.
HIGH SOCKS FOR HOPE On November 12, the baseball players teamed up with High Socks for Hope, the nonprofit organization created by former Alabama pitcher David Robertson. The Crimson Tide joined volunteers in assembling and delivering food boxes to veterans in the Tuscaloosa community, feeding nearly 200 former service members for the Thanksgiving holiday.
SPRAYBERRY EDUCATION CENTER CHRISTMAS PARTY For the eighth consecutive year, the baseball team concluded the fall season with a Christmas Party at Sprayberry Education Center. The players brought gifts, signed baseballs and served the children treats during this event. The team led the group in Christmas carols and helped decorate the school’s Christmas tree.
BATTLE FOR THE HAMMER Each year, Alabama baseball competes in a competition called “Battle for the Hammer as a wrap-up for the fall season. The players split into four teams to compete in various strength events. The annual competition not only provides bragging rights for the winners, but also helps build team unity and mental strength for all involved as the team heads into the spring.

ALABAMA RETURNS HOME TO TUSCALOOSA AND THE NEW JOE
Sewell-Thomas Stadium will once again serve as home for the Crimson Tide baseball team after undergoing a complete renovation last season. Sewell-Thomas Stadium, located slightly off Paul W. Bryant Drive in the Alabama Athletics Complex, has played host to six NCAA Regionals, six SEC Playoff series and a pair of exhibition games with the New York Yankees in 1978 and 1984. The Crimson Tide used its home-field advantage to secure a berth in the College World Series in 1996, 1997 and 1999, winning 13 straight postseason home games in one of the most dominant runs in Crimson Tide baseball history. Alabama has compiled a 1,194-507-2 (.701) all-time record at Sewell-Thomas Stadium since its move to the current site in 1948. The Tide returns home after spending last season in Hoover while the stadium underwent a complete renovation. Crimson Tide fans were not deterred, as the Alabama once again ranked in the top 25 for total attendance (21) and average attendance per game (20) across all Division I programs. Over the 19 years leading up to the 2015 season, Alabama owned a significant advantage at home, winning 73 of its 96 SEC series. Since 1995, Alabama has won 39 of 52 home series against SEC Eastern Division teams. A series loss to No. 3 Florida at the end of the 2010 season snapped a 14-series win streak versus Eastern Division schools that dated back to 2005. After going 1-2 in series against SEC Western Division opponents in 2013, Alabama has won 28 of 43 home series, including 14 of its past 20 against West Division foes. Alabama enters the 2016 season having won 34 of its past 45 SEC home series inside Sewell-Thomas Stadium. In 2009, Alabama earned a home series win over top-ranked Georgia, adding to the Tide’s success at Sewell-Thomas Stadium. The Crimson Tide has won seven of its eight series against the nation’s top-ranked team since 1985, with four of those series wins coming in Tuscaloosa. Alabama owns home series wins over Miami (Fla.) (1985), LSU (2007), Mississippi State (2006) and Georgia (2009) when those teams were ranked No. 1 in the country. The Tide baseball team has been a success at the gate as well, drawing more than 2,700,000 fans since the first stadium expansion in 1991. Over the past 23 years, Alabama has attracted 2,762,956 fans in 769 all-time openings. in Tuscaloosa The Tide
ranked second nationally in attendance from 19992002 and set a school record with 211,331 fans during the 2000 season, when every home game was sold out. Frank Thomas Field opened on March 26, 1948, as a 2,000-seat facility that attracted many overflow crowds in the 1950s and 1960s under Coach Tilden “Happy” Campbell and Coach Joe Sewell. The inaugural game was played on March 26, 1948, with the Crimson Tide beating the Bradley Braves 5-2 in the first game of a doubleheader. Pitcher Clarence Flack delivered the first pitch at 2:02 p.m., on that afternoon in the Tide’s new baseball home. Dick Dill recorded the first hit at Thomas Field and Jack Rutledge swatted the first home run. Flack was the winning pitcher that afternoon for the Tide. Marvin Blemker also pitched and earned what is known today as a save. Since the inaugural game in 1948, SewellThomas Stadium has seen plenty of changes. The stadium was renamed Sewell-Thomas Field in 1978, honoring former Alabama football and baseball standout and Major League Hall of Famer Joe Sewell. Alabama played the first night game in school history on March 14, 1981, with a 13-8 victory over Western Kentucky. The ballpark underwent two major renovations prior to 2015, including changes in 1991, 1999 and 2001. The original grandstand was completed in time for the 1991 season and was completed by Wesley Construction of Talladega, Ala. N.C. Morgan Construction of Tuscaloosa was responsible for a $4-million expansion project, which was completed prior to the 2001 season, involved extending the grandstand down the right field line. The players and coaches likewise benefited from the 2001 renovations. The Crimson Tide moved into its spacious clubhouse in 2001. The expansion also included three indoor batting cages and pitching machines, a meeting room, training room, equipment room and coaches offices. The renovation and rebuilding to construct what will now be known as “The New Joe” began in the fall of 2014 and lasted until January of 2016, completing a $42.5 million project originally envisioned by the late Mal Moore. The
project saved only the cement foundation, while a complete overhaul was made to the rest of the facility. Along with the stadium, a state-of-the-art indoor hitting facility was added along the left field line to allow for practice both in the cages and on the mound at any time of the year. Alabama’s new home will return the right field terrace for fans, while adding chairbacks around the entire lower bowl. On the upper concourse, suites along with the .525 Club will host Alabama baseball fans. The .525 Club, similar to the Zone at Bryant-Denny Stadium, was built in honor of the most decorated player in Crimson Tide baseball history, David Magadan. Magadan was Alabama’s only Golden Spikes Award winner, which is the premiere award given to college baseball’s top player. In that 1983 season, Magadan batted .525, an NCAA record that still stands today. Along with fan amenities, players will now be treated to a new lounge, team meeting room and locker room. The new Sewell-Thomas Stadium looks to be one of the premiere baseball facilities not only in the Southeastern Conference, but across all of college baseball. The University of Alabama’s rich athletic tradition began with baseball, and a renovated Sewell-Thomas Stadium will once again elevate the program to the forefront of athletics at the Capstone.

MITCH GASPARD Head Coach
Seventh Year
LOUISIANA-LAFAYETTE, 1988
COACHES/STAFF
Mitch Gaspard returns for his seventh year as the head baseball coach at The University of Alabama in 2016, owning a 202-167 career mark at the Capstone. In his first six years as the head coach of the Crimson Tide, Gaspard led the Tide to back-to-back NCAA tournament appearances in 2010 and 2011 and again in 2013 and 2014, a total that ties for the fourthmost regional appearances since his start in 2010. His teams have also averaged 34 wins per season and have reached the 30-win plateau in all but one season under his tutelage. The 2015 season was not an ordinary one, as Alabama played its home games in numerous locations due to Sewell-Thomas Stadium remaining under construction all year. Despite barnstorming across the state of Alabama, the Crimson Tide still collected a 32-28 record that saw the team make it to the semi-finals of the 2015 Southeastern Conference Tournament. Last year’s squad claimed the program’s 2,500th win when the Crimson Tide took down Maryland Eastern Shore on Feb. 15, and also earned Gaspard his 200th career win when the team handed sixth-ranked Vanderbilt its first shutout of the season on May 16. Alabama’s season also saw six players get drafted in the 2015 MLB First-Year Player Draft, five of which were selected before the 15th round. That total was the most in program history, while the six players taken were the Crimson Tide’s highest tally since 2010. Gaspard has developed his own philosophies on hitting, pitching, defense and ways to build a championship program and one cannot argue with his success. That success is built on a foundation of hard work and high energy, both on and off the field. He also wants to translate that mental toughness to the mound. His focus on pitching really paid off during the 2014 season, as the Alabama staff limited opposing hitters to a lowly .224 average against and maintained a 3.19 ERA for the year. The Crimson Tide staff had three pitchers combine for the program’s eighth no-hitter in UA history when the Tide took down Mississippi Valley State on March 8. The no-hitter was Alabama’s first since March 31, 1993, when three players combined for a rain-shortened, six-inning perfect game against South Florida. It marked the first nine-inning no-hitter since 1942.
In 2014, Gaspard earned the 350th victory of his career, while also claiming his 150th win at Alabama and coaching his 300th game at the helm for the Tide. He reached the 350 win plateau on March 7 when Alabama took down Mississippi Valley State, 8-0. In that same month, Gaspard secured his 150th career victory at Alabama on March 28, taking down ninth-ranked Ole Miss, 7-6, in the series opener. Nearing the end of the season, Gaspard managed his 300th game as the Crimson Tide head coach when Alabama claimed a 15-10 victory at Jacksonville State. The 2010 season for Gaspard, his first as the head coach at Alabama, ended with 42 victories and an NCAA Super Regional appearance. The first season as the head coach was focused on instilling a toughness for the Alabama program. The toughness resulted in a 16-1 mark to start the season, matching the best 17-game start in school history. Gaspard led the Tide to 14 wins over top-25 competition, and the 2010 season wrapped up with the team winning 13 of its final 17 games. The Tide finished the 2010 season with a 42-25 record, as Gaspard tied the school record for most wins by a first-year coach and became the first Alabama coach to lead his team to an NCAA Regional championship in his first season. One year later, Alabama advanced to the championship game of the 2011 NCAA Tallahassee Regional and then after missing the postseason in 2012, the Tide, which featured four freshmen in the 2013 starting lineup, returned to the NCAA tournament, finishing with a 35-28 record and ranking 29th in the RPI. In 2014, Alabama made their second backto-back NCAA Regional appearance under Gaspard, with the Tide advancing to the championship game of the NCAA Tallahassee Regional against Kennesaw State. The 2014 squad finished with a 37-24 record and ranked 24th in the RPI.

Over his first six seasons as the Alabama skipper, Gaspard led the Tide to four NCAA tournament appearances. He has coached one first team All-American, four freshman All-Americans, has had two national Gold Glove Award winners, three ABCA All-South Region selections, seven All-SEC honorees, five SEC All-Freshman Team picks, two SEC AllDefensive team recipient, and 71 players earn SEC Academic Honor Roll recognition. Gaspard has assembled a high-energy coaching staff with a deep passion for the game and roots that trace back to the Alabama baseball program. Assistant coaches Dax Norris and Andy Phillips were All-America players for the Crimson Tide in the 1990s. Norris, the team’s pitching coach, played two years at Alabama in 1995-96, earning first team AllAmerican honors in 1996. Phillips, currently the hitting and infield coach for the Tide, was a fouryear letterwinner for Alabama from 1996-99. After his All-American season in 1999, Phillips went on to play professionally for 11 seasons, including five in Major League Baseball with the New York Yankees, Cincinnati Reds and New York Mets. Gaspard has learned from some of the best in the business. He comes from a coaching tree that is a virtual Hall of Fame. His 27-year coaching career has included playing and working for some of the best in the game, such as former LSU coach Skip Bertman, former Houston coach Bragg Stockton, and Jim Wells, the former Northwestern State and Alabama skipper who owns the all-time wins mark by a Crimson Tide coach. After graduating from Port Arthur-Jefferson High School, where he led the team to a state title and earned all-state honors at shortstop, Gaspard played one season for Bertman at LSU. He transferred to Houston in 1986 and finished his career with the Cougars. Stockton offered Gaspard his first coaching job and he spent one year at Houston, before moving on to the

University of Louisiana-Lafayette for the next three seasons. From 1989-92, the Ragin’ Cajuns won three straight conference titles and played in three NCAA Regionals. During Gaspard’s days as an assistant coach for Wells at NSU, the Demons won Southland Conference titles in 1993 and 1994 and posted their first NCAA tournament win in NCAA Regional play in 1994. Gaspard was a pivotal figure as an ace recruiter and shrewd tactician during the remarkable revival of the Crimson Tide in the 1990s. Alabama had four SEC wins in 1994, but after Gaspard arrived the Tide won the SEC Tournament and was one win away from the College World Series in 1995. By the time Gaspard returned to NSU as the head coach in 2002, Alabama had earned six NCAA Regional appearances and three CWS berths, including a national championship game loss to LSU in 1997. In his first seven seasons as an assistant coach at Alabama, Gaspard helped mold the Tide into one of the nation’s finest defensive units. Alabama set numerous school records and ranked among the nation’s top-10 fielding teams twice in his tenure. Gaspard was the chief recruiter for Alabama during that 1995-2001 span. In each of his first five seasons, Alabama ranked among the nation’s top-20 recruiting classes, including three straight top-10 classes according to Baseball America and Collegiate Baseball. Gaspard got his first head coaching position at Northwestern State in 2002 and compiled a 210-138 (.604) record in his six-year tenure. During that time, he led the Demons to a pair of Southland Conference championships, one SLC Tournament championship and a berth in the 2005 NCAA Baton Rouge Regional, where the Demons claimed the program’s second NCAA tournament victory ever. After the 2007 season, Gaspard returned to Alabama, where he reunited with Wells. After two years as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator, Gaspard helped the Tide regain its baseball momentum and ultimately was named the Tide’s 30th head coach on Sept. 2, 2009, following Wells’ retirement.
Born on May 26, 1965, Gaspard married the former Kim Howell in 1988. The couple has two daughters, Brae and Paeton. SUSTAINED SUCCESS Gaspard has enjoyed success at every level of his baseball career as a player, assistant coach and head coach. The seventh-year Crimson Tide head coach has been in the dugout for more than 1,800 games and his teams have compiled a 1,253-697-3 (.643) overall record, including a 412-305 (.575) record as a head coach. Those teams have won 10 conference championships and nine conference tournament titles, while playing in 18 NCAA Regionals and three College World Series. Gaspard has played or coached 17 teams that have won 40 or more games and three teams with 50-plus wins in a season. THE COACHING TREE Gaspard has been associated with some of college baseball’s top coaches, including Skip Bertman, Dr. Bragg Stockton and Jim Wells. Bertman changed the face of baseball in the Southeastern Conference and led the LSU Tigers to five national championships. Stockton had great influence on Gaspard’s career and offered the young infielder his first coaching position. That initial job has turned into a more than 20 year coaching career, with Gaspard demanding the best of his players on and off the field. Gaspard played a vital role in the revival of Alabama baseball in the mid-1990s thanks to his keen eye for talent and his ability to teach the game of baseball. His efforts helped send the Crimson Tide to the College World Series in 1996, 1997 and 1999. THE PLAYER Gaspard’s four-year collegiate career between LSU and Houston saw his teams compile a 148-91 (.619) overall record, post two 40-win seasons and play in a pair of NCAA Regionals (1985 and 1987). He began his career at LSU in 1984 and 1985, earning one varsity letter on Bertman’s first LSU squad in 1984. The 1984 edition of the Tigers posted a 32-23 overall record. The 1985 team went 41-18 en route to the SEC Western Division
ALABAMA (2010-Present) Through six seasons as the head coach at Alabama, Gaspard has led the Crimson Tide to a 202-167 (.547) overall record, while guiding the Tide to NCAA Regional appearances in 2010, 2011, 2013 and 2014. His 2010 squad was one win from earning the school’s sixth College World Series appearance, after winning the NCAA Atlanta Regional before falling to Clemson, two games to one, in the Super Regional series. Gaspard’s 42 wins in 2010 set a school record for wins by a first-year head coach, and he became the first coach in program history to lead his squad to a NCAA Super Regional finish in his first year. Taylor Dugas earned 2010 first team All-America honors by Baseball America and four players earned All-SEC honors, as Dugas and shortstop Josh Rutledge were first-team honorees. Following the 2011 season, four Tide players were drafted, including Adam Morgan (3rd round), Dugas (8th), Nathan Kilcrease (30th) and Brock Bennett (33rd). Dugas also was an ABCA Gold Glove outfielder, an All-SEC Defensive Team selection, a second team All-SEC honoree and an ABCA All-South Region selection. Dugas wrapped up his career at Alabama as the school’s alltime hits leader (334), while posting the most doubles (67) and triples (18) in program history. Gaspard inked one of the top recruiting classes in the country for the 2013 season, as the crop of 11 players (10 freshmen and one junior college transfer) was rated as the fourth-best recruiting class by Baseball America and the 16th-best class by Collegiate Baseball. The No. 4 ranking is the highest-rated recruiting class in Alabama history. That recruiting class paid dividends early, as the 2013 squad finished the year with four freshmen in the starting lineup, plus one in the midweek rotation and one in the closer’s role. The selections of Mikey White and Ray Castillo as Freshman All-Americans marked the second time Alabama had two Freshman All-Americans in the same season. The talented group of freshmen, along with Gaspard’s other accumulated talent, earned a No. 2 seed to the 2013 NCAA Tallahassee Regional, the third NCAA Regional appearance for Gaspard and the 23rd for the University. White also earned second team All-SEC honors at shortstop, while Castillo and Kyle Overstreet were SEC All-Freshman Team selections. Overstreet also was named the Division I ABCA Rawlings Gold Glove Award winner at second base. Gaspard’s 2014 team advanced to the championship game of the NCAA Tallahassee Regional, marking the fourth postseason berth in his five-year tenure. Four Tide players were selected to the AllRegional team, including Austen Smith, White, Chance Vincent and Ben Moore. His pitching staff excelled in 2014, as Justin Kamplain, Jay

championship and collected the school’s first NCAA Regional appearance since 1975. He transferred to Houston following his sophomore season and played two years for the Cougars, lettering in 1986 and 1987. Gaspard played on coach Rolan Walton’s final Houston team in 1986, helping the Cougars post a 35-23 overall mark. In his final season as a player, Gaspard helped the Cougars compile a 40-27 record and a berth in the NCAA Central Regional in Austin, Texas, under first-year head coach Dr. Bragg Stockton. The Cougars finished 1987 ranked 14th nationally.

coaches and staff Shaw, and Geoffrey Bramblett combined to throw Alabama’s first nine-inning no-hitter since 1942 on March 8 versus Mississippi State. Thanks to his meager 2.15 ERA AND .226 average against, closer Thomas Burrows was named a freshman All-American by both the NCBA and Collegiate Baseball. Following Burrows’ nomination, the Tide has had a freshman All-American in each of the past three years. Burrows was also selected as a freshman All-SEC honoree, while teammates Ben Moore and Wade Wass were selected as second-team All-SEC members. The 2015 squad advanced to the semi-final round of the SEC Tournament and featured six MLB Draft picks. Despite playing away from Sewell-Thomas Stadium, the Crimson Tide was able to notch 32 wins to reach the 30-win plateau for the fifth time in six seasons under Gaspard, and collected the program’s 2,500th win by taking down Maryland Eastern Shore in the third game of the season.
COACHES/STAFF
ALABAMA (2008-09) Gaspard came back to Alabama as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator on July 9, 2007. He spent two years as the Crimson Tide top assistant coach and ace recruiter. Alabama went 72-49 over those two seasons and played in the 2009 NCAA Clemson Regional. The 2009 squad was one of the most potent offensive squads in the nation, as the Tide ranked among the nation’s top-25 teams in slugging percentage (7th), home runs (8th), doubles (12th), runs scored (18th), batting average (22nd), doubles per game (23rd) and total hits (25th). The 2009 Alabama team featured SEC Player of the Year Kent Matthes and a school record-tying five first team All-SEC selections. NORTHWESTERN STATE (2002-07) Gaspard was named the head coach at Northwestern State after the 2001 season, following in the footsteps of Jim Wells, Dave Van Horn and John Cohen - all who had left the Louisiana school for SEC head coaching jobs, with each ultimately leading their SEC programs to the College World Series (Wells with the Tide, Van Horn with Arkansas and earlier with
Including nine years as an assistant coach (1995-2001 & 2008-09) at UA, Mitch Gaspard has been part of 10 NCAA Regionals and three College World Series appearances (1996, 1997 and 1999) in 15 seasons on the Crimson Tide coaching staff.

Nebraska, and Cohen with Mississippi State). Gaspard’s six-year record at NSU was 210-138 (.603), which included two Southland Conference championships, one SLC Tournament title and one NCAA Regional appearance. Under Gaspard’s guidance, the Demons had 28 AllSouthland Conference selections, including 12 first-team picks. He coached two NSU players to major awards under his watch: 2002 Southland Conference Pitcher of the Year O.J. King and 2004 CoSIDA Academic All-American Bobby Barbier. Gaspard led the Demons to SLC championships in 2002 and 2005. His first NSU squad captured the Southland Conference championship and finished with a 43-17 overall record, including a 14-10 mark in league play. The Demons ranked third nationally in fielding (.974), 11th in double plays (1.17), 12th in ERA (3.54) and 18th in winning percentage (.717). That 2002 NSU team also set the school records with 612 hits and 53 sacrifice bunts. Despite a solid RPI and key wins over South Alabama and Minnesota, the Demons were left out of the 2002 NCAA Tournament. The 2003 team then posted a 35-22 record, including a 16-11 mark in SLC play, and ranked 12th nationally with 2.02 stolen bases per game. Tigger Lyles was 19th nationally with 0.59 thefts per game. The 2004 Demons posted a 33-23 record and 16-9 mark in conference play. NSU set a school record with 134 stolen bases to rank sixth nationally with 2.34 per game. Lyles and Josh Boop were among the nation’s top stolen base artists, each with 0.52 stolen bases per game to rank 29th nationally. Gaspard led the 2005 NSU team to a 41-20 overall record and his first trip to the NCAA Regionals. The Demons posted a 22-5 conference record, setting the SLC record for wins en route to the league championship and a berth in the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional.

ALABAMA (1995-2001) Gaspard followed Wells to Alabama and played a prominent role in the revival of Crimson Tide baseball. During his seven years as an assistant coach, the Tide posted a 320-127 (.732) record, played in six NCAA Regionals and made three College World Series appearances (1996, 1997 and 1999) in a four-year span. Alabama also won the 1996 SEC championship and captured four SEC Tournament titles (1995, 1996, 1997 and 1999). The Crimson Tide were the No. 1 seed at both the 1996 and 1997 CWS, becoming the first team to be the top seed in consecutive College World Series. Gaspard was responsible signing some of the nation’s top baseball players with five top-20 classes, including three straight top-10 rankings. One of his star pupils, Lance Cormier, earned AllAmerica honors on the field and in the classroom and left the Capstone as the program’s all-time leader in appearances, innings pitched, wins and strikeouts. Cormier was a fourth-round draft pick following his stellar collegiate career. With Gaspard on watch, Alabama fielded some of the finest defensive units in program history. Alabama led the SEC and ranked fourth nationally with a .971 fielding mark in 1996. The following year, Alabama led the league and ranked ninth nationally with a .968 fielding mark. The 1997 squad remains arguably the most prolific offensive team in school history, leading the nation in total hits (860), runs (679), total bases (1,571) and slugging percentage (.622). The 1997 Tide also ranked second nationally in home runs (160), homers per game (2.29) and wins (56) – all school records.
NORTHWESTERN STATE (1993-94) Gaspard hooked up with Jim Wells for the first time in 1993, building a close friendship and working relationship over the next 15 years. In his two seasons as an assistant coach at Northwestern State, the Demons went 8529 (.737) and won two Southland Conference championships, one SLC Tournament title and played in one NCAA tournament. The 1993 NSU squad went 40-14 en route to the SLC title. The 1994 team won a school-record 45 games (4515) and earned a berth in the NCAA Midwest II Regional in Stillwater, Okla. Those 1994 Demons won eight games against top-25 clubs, set 19 school or SLC records and compiled an 18-6 conference mark.
1992, ULL (38-23) finished first in the Sun Belt Conference Western Division and played in the program’s third straight NCAA Regional, losing to Long Beach State and VCU at the NCAA Central Regional in Austin, Texas. HOUSTON (1988) Houston provided Gaspard his first coaching opportunity in 1988, under the legendary Dr. Bragg Stockton. Gaspard tutored with the Cougars infielders, as Houston posted a 3322-3 overall record. Gaspard’s first game as an assistant coach came on Feb. 13, 1988, against Texas Lutheran.
LOUISIANA-LAFAYETTE (1989-92) During Gaspard’s four seasons at LouisianaLafayette, the Ragin’ Cajuns won four conference titles and posted a 183-74 (.712) record under head coach Mike Boulanger. In 1989, the Cajuns posted a 49-13 overall record and captured the American South Conference championship with an 11-4 mark. The following year, the Cajuns (47-18, 11-4) repeated as conference champs and advanced to the NCAA South I Regional in Baton Rouge, before losing to host LSU and Southern Miss in consecutive games. Louisiana-Lafayette (49-20, 14-4) pulled off the three-peat in 1991, winning a third straight ASC championship. ULL beat Texas, Clemson and Mississippi State during the 1991 regular season before advancing to the NCAA Regionals for the second straight year, finishing runner-up to eventual national champion LSU at the NCAA South II Regional in Baton Rouge. After an opening-round loss to Texas A&M, the Cajuns bounced back to beat Northwestern State, South Alabama and Texas A&M, before dropping the title game to the Tigers. In

DAX NORRIS Assistant Coach
Ninth Year
ALABAMA, 1996
COACHES/STAFF
Dax Norris enters his ninth season as assistant coach at The University of Alabama in 2016. Norris made his mark with Alabama baseball early on, earning All-America honors as a catcher for the Crimson Tide from 1995-96 under head coach Jim Wells and then-assistant coach Mitch Gaspard. He currently works with the pitchers while coordinating the Tide’s recruiting efforts each season. Norris, who was a hard-nosed player and one of the cornerstones of Alabama’s baseball revival in the 1990s, has brought that same work ethic and intensity to the Crimson Tide coaching staff over the past eight seasons. He began his coaching career at the Capstone as the hitting instructor from 2008-10, before transitioning to work with the pitching staff and tutoring the catchers beginning in the 2011 season. Norris also handles a number of recruiting responsibilities for the program. During his 11-year professional baseball career, Norris played for the Atlanta Braves and Houston Astros organizations before joining the coaching ranks in 2007. In his time with the two MLB organizations, he was associated with some of the best pitching minds in the game. With the Braves, he worked with legendary pitching coach Leo Mazzone and Hall of Fame pitchers Greg Maddux, John Smoltz and Tom Glavine, then later with Houston pitcher Andy Pettitte. Despite spending the entire 2015 season on the road, his pitching staff maintained a consistency that has become the norm since Norris took over pitching coach responsibilities. Last year’s staff collected 479 strikeouts, the team’s highest output since 2010, and limited opposing hitters to a lowly .255 average against. Two of his pitchers went on to the professional ranks as selections in the 2015 MLB First-Year Player Draft, including Taylor Guilbeau (10th round, Washington Nationals) and Will Carter (14th round, New York Yankees). His 2014 staff was highlighted by standout freshman closer Thomas Burrows and two MLB draft picks in Spencer Turnbull and Justin Kamplain. Burrows earned All-SEC and All-America honors on his way to recording a team-high 11 saves, one short of the UA freshman record. The lefty owned a 2.15 ERA across 37.2 innings and struck out 48 batters. Alabama had two of its pitchers drafted at the close of the 2014 campaign, including Spencer Turnbull going in the second round to the Detroit Tigers and Justin Kamplain joining the New York Yankees in the 18th round of the draft. Both were standouts on the 2014 team, working a combined 183.1 innings across 30 starts while striking out 130 in that time and claiming 12 victories. 2014 also featured a historical pitching performance when three Tide pitchers combined to throw the school’s first nine-inning no-hitter since 1942. On March 8, the Alabama trio of Kamplain, Jay Shaw and Geoffrey Bramblett combined for the eighth no-hitter in school history, as the Crimson Tide took down Mississippi Valley State, 7-0.
20 ALABAMA BASEBALL
With Norris and fellow Alabama All-American Andy Phillips directing much of the player recruitment, UA entered the 2013 season with one of the top incoming classes in college baseball. The 11 signees who came to the Capstone for that 2013 season were rated fourth by Baseball America and No. 16 by Collegiate Baseball. Norris was instrumental in the development of a young pitching staff in 2013, highlighted by the success of freshman right-hander Ray Castillo. The Crimson Tide’s first-year closer recorded 12 saves, the highest total for a freshman in Alabama history and the third-best mark in the program’s singleseason history. Castillo earned three postseason awards, including Louisville Slugger First Team Freshman All-American by Collegiate Baseball News, NCBWA Second Team Freshman AllAmerican and SEC All-Freshman Team honors. Norris was also instrumental to developing the talents of walk-on freshman Mike Oczypok, who matched Tucker Hawley for the Tide’s best record (5-2) in 2013. Hawley, who returned from Tommy John surgery in 2012, fought back from injury to boast the lowest ERA on the Alabama pitching staff. The Alabama bullpen converted 21-of-24 save opportunities in 2013, to post the second most team saves in a season in program history. The Tide finished the 2013 season with a 3.70 earned run average and allowed only 8.55 hits per nine innings. Following the 2011 campaign, Tide pitchers Adam Morgan and Nathan Kilcrease and catcher Brock Bennett were selected in the 2011 MLB Draft. Morgan, a junior in 2011, was taken by the Philadelphia Phillies, while Kilcrease went in the 30th round to the Oakland A’s and Bennett in the 33rd-round to the San Francisco Giants. After the 2012 season, reliever Ian Gardeck was selected in the 16th round by the San Francisco Giants. Norris’ return to Tuscaloosa in 2009 paid immediate dividends, as the Crimson Tide was one of the top offensive units in the country that year. The Tide ranked in the top 25 nationally in nine offensive categories, including slugging percentage (7th, .566), home runs (8th, 107), doubles (12th, 142), runs scored (18th, 509), batting average (22nd, .330), doubles per game (23rd, 2.35) and total hits (25th, 689). Following the 2009 season, Norris, along with Gaspard, were named the SEC assistant coaches of the year by SEBaseball.com. Norris also tutored Kent Matthes, the 2009 SEC Player of the Year, who led the nation with a school record 28 home runs. Matthes, a fourthround draft pick by the Colorado Rockies, hit .358 with 28 home runs and 81 RBI in 2009. That season, Matthes ranked second nationally in home runs per game (0.50), third in slugging percentage (.858), sixth in RBI per game (1.45), 11th in RBI (81) and 12th in total bases (175). A finalist for several national awards, Matthes was named the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association District III Player of the Year. Norris earlier worked with 2008 All-SEC performers Alex Avila and Brandon May. Avila hit .343 with 17 home runs and 62 RBI as a junior and was selected in the fifth round of the 2008 MLB

Draft, making his Major League debut with the Detroit Tigers on Aug. 6, 2009. He became the first Alabama player under Norris’ tutelage to reach the big leagues, and has since won a World Series as well as being named to the All-Star team and the Silver Slugger for the catcher position in 2011. May, a 36th round draft pick in 2009 by the Chicago Cubs, hit .347 with 12 home runs and 69 RBI and led the SEC with 39 RBI in 30 league games. In 2008, May hit .365 with five home runs and 50 RBI. Vin DiFazio was a 12th-round draft pick by the Texas Rangers following the 2009 season. Prior to his return to Alabama, Norris began his coaching career at Niceville (Fla.) High School, where he spent the 2007 season working under former Tide assistant coach Kevin Berry. Norris worked with the Niceville hitters and catchers and one of his star pupils was eventual Alabama pitcher Jimmy Nelson, who earned all-state honors in high school. Following his junior season at Alabama, Nelson was a second-round draft pick by the Milwaukee Brewers in 2010 and made his debut with the Brewers in 2014. Nelson has improved each season with the Brewers, earning himself the role of the team’s No. 1 starter this past season. Norris played 11 seasons with the Braves and Astros organizations, reaching the Triple-A level with both clubs and was voted to the 2002 Triple-A All-Star team as a member of the Richmond Braves. He played in 846 career minor league games and batted .265 with 73 home runs, 421 RBI and 771 total hits. He had a career-high 122 hits and 72 RBI for the Greenville (S.C.) Braves (Class AA, Southern League) in 2000 and smacked a careerhigh 15 home runs in Greenville in 1999. During the offseason, Norris played in the Venezuelan and Dominican winter leagues and also ran his own hitting school. A 23rd-round draft pick by the Braves in 1996, Norris had been a two-year starter for the Tide. He batted .283 (72-254) as a junior in 1995 with three home runs and 34 RBI in 63 starts. Norris was named to the 1995 NCAA East Regional alltournament team, after batting .316 (6-19) with two runs scored and five RBI. Norris was elected team captain on the Tide’s 1996 SEC championship team that finished with a then-school record 50 wins. Alabama also captured the 1996 SEC Tournament championship and hosted an NCAA Regional for the first time in program history. Norris led the Tide to its first College World Series appearance since 1983 during his senior year. He batted .370 (105-284) with seven home runs and 49 RBI, en route to being named a 1996 first team All-American by the Super Smith Team. Norris also was a first team All-SEC honoree and American Baseball Coaches Association AllSouth Region pick. Following his professional career, Norris completed his bachelor’s degree in human environmental science in 2007. A native of LaGrange, Ga., Norris was born Jan. 14, 1973. He is married to the former Rene’ Simpkins. The couple welcomed their first child, son Colton Dax Norris, in September of 2010.
ANDY PHILLIPS Assistant Coach
Sixth Year
ALABAMA, 1999
Following a professional baseball career that spanned 12 seasons, including five in in Major League Baseball, Andy Phillips returned to The University of Alabama in 2011 as an assistant coach. Phillips enters his sixth season at Alabama and is the hitting instructor and fielding coach for the Crimson Tide, while sharing recruiting responsibilities. Playing on the road the entire 2015 season, Phillips’ hitters still put together some huge numbers. The Crimson Tide wrapped up the season batting .275 with 105 doubles, 20 triples and 27 home runs. The hitters also collected 285 RBI and swiped 61 bases in 83 attempts for a 74 percent success rate on the basepaths. The Tide’s 20 triples were the most since 2006 and the stolen base totals were the most since 2010. UA’s doubles total marked the most since 2011. He coached four players that would go on to get drafted, including Mikey White (2nd round, Oakland A’s), Casey Hughston (3rd round, Pittsburgh Pirates), Kyle Overstreet (14th round, San Diego Padres) and Georgie Salem (39th round, Arizona Diamondbacks). White’s selection made him one of just 11 total players in Crimson Tide history to be drafted in the first two rounds of the draft, while Hughston’s draft spot was the second-highest slotting for a UA outfielder in program history. Overstreet also earned a selection to the All-SEC Defensive Team, his second conference honor of his career. In 2014, the Crimson Tide finished second in the SEC with 42 home runs, the most for Alabama since 2010 and the bat change in 2011. Junior Ben Moore led the team with nine home runs, good for third-most in the SEC. Phillips coached up a 2013 infield that featured White at shortstop and Overstreet at second base, both freshmen at the time. Despite the youth, the Crimson Tide finished second in the country with 80 double plays, one shy of the national lead and one short of the Alabama all-time record. White had a stellar year at the plate during Southeastern Conference play, posting a .350 batting average against conference competition, to rank eighth in the league. He earned second team All-SEC honors and was named a Louisville Slugger Freshman AllAmerican by Collegiate Baseball News. Overstreet was named the Division I Rawlings Gold Glove Award winner at second base after leading the SEC with 67 double plays turned in that season. Overstreet, who garnered SEC All-Freshman Team honors, posted a .983 fielding percentage, committing just six errors in 363 chances. As a team, the Tide posted a .976 fielding percentage in 2013, the second best in program history. While leading the Tide’s hitting instruction in his first three seasons, Phillips helped Taylor Dugas finish his career as the program’s all-time leader in hits, doubles and triples. Dugas notched his 323rd career hit against Mississippi State on May 5, 2012,
to break the record Phillips set as a player in 1999. Phillips also mentored Ben Moore, who hit .342 en route to Freshman All-America honors by Baseball America and an SEC All-Freshman Team selection in 2012. A four-year Alabama letterwinner (1996-99) and 1999 first team All-American, Phillips played for the New York Yankees (2004-07), New York Mets (2008) and Cincinnati Reds (2008) during his MLB career. Before returning to the Capstone in 2011, Phillips played two years in the Nippon Professional League (Japan) for the Hiroshima Toyo Carp (2009) and the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles (2010). Following a stellar playing career at Alabama, Phillips was selected by the Yankees in the 1999 MLB Draft. He made his Major League debut on Sept. 14, 2004, and in his first at-bat, belted a home run over the Green Monster in Fenway Park on the first pitch he saw from Terry Adams. Phillips is one of seven players to homer in his first at-bat as a Yankee and became the 21st player in MLB history to hit a home run on the first pitch of his career. Phillips received the Yankees’ Kevin Long “Minor-League Player of the Year” Award following a 2004 season where he led all Yankees minor leaguers in batting average (.321) and RBI (101) while ranking second in home runs (30). He was voted the Most Valuable Player of the International League All-Star Game, after hitting a 10th-inning walk-off home run. Phillips later earned the James P. Dawson Award as the Yankees’ most outstanding rookie during the 2005 spring training. He saw action in 110 games, posting a .240 batting average with seven home runs, 11 doubles and 29 RBI, as New York won the American League East Division title with an MLB-best 97-65 record in 2006. Phillips made one plate appearance in the American League Divisional Series against the Detroit Tigers. After returning to the minors for the start of the 2007 season, Phillips rejoined the Yankees on June 19, 2007, and in 61 games posted a career-high .292 batting average. The season was cut short when he suffered a broken wrist after being hit by a pitch. Phillips’ MLB career continued in 2008 as a member of the Cincinnati Reds, seeing action in 52 games with 73 at-bats. After hitting .233, Phillips was designated for assignment by the Reds and was picked up by the New York Mets, playing four games. He was designated for assignment by the Mets on July 1, 2008, and reclaimed by the Reds off waivers on July 3 but never returned to the Major League Baseball. On Dec. 22, 2008, Phillips was signed to a minor league contract with the Pittsburgh Pirates and was invited to Spring Training as a non-roster invitee. In April of 2009, he was traded to the Chicago White Sox, and assigned to the Charlotte Knights of the International League. On June 23, 2009, Phillips signed with the Hiroshima Toyo Carp of Nippon Professional Baseball, and after one season with
the Carp, he played his final professional season with the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles in 2010. In his four seasons at Alabama (1996-99), Phillips cemented himself as one of the all-time greats in program history, posting a .356 career batting average with 61 home runs, 224 RBI and 322 hits. He ended his career as the all-time leader in home runs, RBI and hits, and still holds the school records in career home runs and total bases (590). In the history of the baseball program at Alabama, Phillips is one of three players with 50 home runs and 200 RBI, one of four with 300 hits, and is the only player in school history with 50 home runs, 200 RBI and 300 hits. The Tide advanced to the NCAA Tournament all four years that Phillips donned a Crimson Tide jersey, which included three College World Series appearances. He joins Manny Torres as the only Tide players to appear in the CWS during three different seasons. As a freshman in 1996, Phillips was part of a 50-19 squad that captured the SEC regular-season and tournament titles and advanced to the CWS, marking the third trip in school history and the first for the Tide since the 1983 season. Phillips hit .366 in 1997 with 15 home runs and 64 RBI to help the Tide post a 56-14 overall record, an SEC regular-season championship and a runnerup finish in the CWS, falling to LSU (13-6) in the national championship game. As a junior, Phillips hit .351 with 21 home runs and a career-high 81 RBI, as the Tide posted a 46-18 record after falling to Long Beach State (5-3) in the final game of the NCAA West Regional. As a senior, Phillips nearly hit .400 (.398), with 22 home runs, 22 doubles, 66 RBI and a .781 slugging percentage. He led the Crimson Tide to the 1999 SEC Tournament title, before advancing through the NCAA Regional and Super Regional rounds, and the Tide finishing third in the College World Series. After his senior campaign, Phillips was a first team All-America selection by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) and College Baseball Insider. He garnered third team All-America honors by the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA), Baseball America and Collegiate Baseball. The Southeastern Conference recognized Phillips this past season at the 2015 SEC Tournament as a conference legend for his efforts across four seasons in Tuscaloosa. George Andrew Phillips, born April 6, 1977, in Tuscaloosa, Ala., was raised in Demopolis, Ala., where he played baseball for the Demopolis Academy Generals. Prior to playing for the Tide from 1996-99, Phillips was a 41st-round selection out of high school by the Milwaukee Brewers as a shortstop in 1995. He completed his bachelor’s degree in sports fitness management from The University of Alabama in 1999. Phillips and his wife Bethany, married in 2004, have a daughter, Isaiah.

2015 Review 2015 SEASON REVIEW
ALABAMA SPENDS THE SEASON IN HOOVER The Crimson Tide moved into a new home for the 2015 season, playing 30 home games inside Hoover Metropolitan Stadium in Hoover, Ala. The city of Hoover welcomed Alabama baseball to The Met and hosted the team at the Hyatt Regency Birmingham - The Wynfrey Hotel each home weekend. The year in Hoover began with three scrimmages each of the first three weekends leading up to the regular season and ended with the Tide’s 1-0, shutout win over seventh-ranked Vanderbilt. BARNSTORMING ACROSS THE STATE With the on-going construction at Sewell-Thomas Stadium, the team took advantage of the opportunity to visit numerous cities across the state of Alabama. Along with the Crimson Tide’s 30 home games in Hoover, UA also played a weekend series in Mobile and single games in Montgomery and Huntsville. The barnstorming efforts began in Montgomery for the annual MAX Capital City Classic against Auburn on Tuesday, March 3. The game once again took place inside Riverwalk Stadium, home to the Double-A Montgomery Biscuits, with Auburn claiming the 5-3 win. Next up was a trip to Mobile for a three-game set with the Lipscomb Bisons. The trio of games took place inside Hank Aaron Stadium, home of the Double-A Mobile BayBears, with Alabama claiming victories in the bookend games of the threegame set. The Crimson Tide wrapped up its tour across the state with a single Tuesday game inside Joe W. Davis Municipal Stadium in Huntsville. The Tide hosted the Mercer Bears inside the former home of the now Biloxi Shuckers, a Double-A affiliate that was previously known as the Huntsville Stars. Alabama would come away with a 5-3 win in the final non-conference matchup of the 2015 season.
Alabama played 30 of its home games inside Hoover Metropolitan Stadium during the 2015 campaign.
GASPARD REACHES 200 • Alabama skipper Mitch Gaspard reached his 200th win during his time as the head man for the Tide with a 1-0 shutout of seventh-ranked Vanderbilt in the season finale. • Following the SEC Tournament run, the sixth-year head coach amassed 202 wins at Alabama, which averages out to 34 wins per season. Furthermore, Coach Gaspard reached the 30-win mark for the fifth time in six seasons. • During his tenure, Gaspard has guided the Crimson Tide to NCAA regional appearances in four of his six seasons and collected 35 or more wins in each of those seasons. • His four NCAA regional appearances ranks tied with Mississippi State, while falling just one appearance short of Ole Miss, LSU and South Carolina during his time in Tuscaloosa. • In 2010 - his first season in charge - Gaspard claimed 42 wins to tie legendary head coach Jim Wells for the most wins in a first season by a Crimson Tide head coach. • That same year in 2010, Gaspard advanced Alabama to a Super Regional where the Tide came up short against Clemson, who would eventually fall to CWS Champion South Carolina in the semifinals. • Gaspard’s players have excelled even after leaving Tuscaloosa, with 26 players being drafted to Major League Baseball during his time as head coach. Eleven of those draftees went in the top 10 rounds of the draft.
2015 REVIEW
SEASON NOTES • Alabama finished the 2015 campaign with a 32-28 overall record and a 12-18 mark in Southeastern Conference play. The Crimson Tide finished in 11th place in the final SEC standings and advanced to the conference tournament for the third straight year and fifth time in six seasons under head coach Mitch Gaspard. The SEC Tournament appearance was the program’s 32nd all-time. • Head Coach Mitch Gaspard’s team finished with 30-plus wins for the fifth time in six seasons, and his squads have averaged 34 wins a year during his time at the helm. • The Crimson Tide did not have a permanent home, as construction on the new Sewell-Thomas Stadium was on-going from the start of fall workouts and practice and will continue until January of 2016. The team practiced inside Sewell-Thomas Stadium around the on-going construction, limiting the capabilities of conducting a full practice. • The team was relocated and played 30 of its home games inside the Hoover Metropolitan Stadium in Hoover, Ala., a near hour-long trip from Tuscaloosa. Alabama also played a home series in Mobile, along with single “home” games in Huntsville and Montgomery, as the 2015 team toured across the state. By the end of the regular season Alabama’s players had taken part in essentially 60 road contests, spending every weekend of the season in a hotel room. • The Tide played in eight total doubleheaders, only three of which were a part of the original schedule. • The Crimson Tide offense wrapped up the season batting .275 (575-2,089), with 105 doubles, 20 triples and 27 home runs. The hitters also collected 285 RBI and swiped 61 bases in 83 attempts for a 74 percent success rate. • The 20 triples were the most by a Tide team since 21 in 2006. Alabama’s stolen bases and times attempted are the most a UA offense has put together since 2010 when the team produced 67 stolen bases across 91 attempts. The 105 two-baggers are the most by an Alabama offense since 2011 when the Tide put together 119. • Alabama’s pitching staff finished with a 4.12 ERA (247 ER/539.0 IP) with 479 strikeouts and 248 walks allowed. The team limited opposing hitters to a .255 average (510-1,998). The Tide’s 479 punchouts were the most by an Alabama staff since 2010 when the pitchers produced 514 Ks. • The Crimson Tide finished the season 4-11 in home contests during conference play, while owning an 8-7 mark on the road. The Tide’s road wins were made up of a pair of victories at #15 Mississippi State, single wins at #4 Florida, #14 Missouri and Ole Miss, and a complete sweep at #24 Auburn - the first sweep of the rival Tigers on the Plains in 32 years. • Alabama’s schedule featured top-15 contests in five of the first six SEC series, while nine three-game series overall were played against teams ranked in the top25 at the time. • Against non-conference foes, the Crimson Tide was 20-9. • The Crimson Tide recorded the program’s 2,500th all-time win with the 19-0 win over Maryland Eastern Shore in the final game of the season-opening series. • Alabama had six players selected in the 2015 Major League Baseball FirstYear Player Draft. The selected players included: Mikey White (2nd round, 63rd overall, Oakland Athletics), Casey Hughston (3rd round, 96th overall, Pittsburgh Pirates), Taylor Guilbeau (10th round, 314th overall, Washington Nationals), Kyle Overstreet (14th round, 418th overall, San Diego Padres), Will Carter (14th round, 423rd overall, New York Yankees) and Georgie Salem (39th round, 1,156th overall, Arizona Diamondbacks). • The Tide had 13 players receive 2015 Southeastern Conference academic honors. Eleven members of the 2015 team were named to the 2015 Spring Academic Honor Roll, while two Crimson Tide freshman were named to the 2015 First-Year Academic Honor Roll.
CRIMSON TIDE CLAIMS 2,500 Alabama entered the 2015 season with 2,497 wins all-time. The Crimson Tide’s 19-0 victory over Maryland Eastern Shore on Feb. 15, marked the program’s 2,500th all-time victory. - 1st win: 6-3 vs. Sewanee on July 1, 1892 (at Birmingham’s Lakeview Park) - 100th win: 8-0 vs. Tulane in 1905 - 500th win: 6-5 vs. Columbus in 1935 - 1,000th win: 8-1 vs. Ole Miss on April 2, 1971 - 1,500th win: 6-4 at Kentucky (7 innings) on March 26, 1988 - 2,000th win: 12-0 vs. Winthrop on March 4, 2001 - 2,500th win: 19-0 vs. Maryland Eastern Shore on February 15, 2015

2015 Review TIDE PARTICIPATES IN EIGHT DOUBLEHEADERS • Due in part to the games in Hoover as well as the weather, Alabama finished out the season having played in eight total doubleheaders. • The Tide was originally scheduled for three twinbills on three separate Tuesdays, but weather would force the team into playing five more - all in conference play - by season’s end. • The eight double dips were the most an Alabama team has played in since 1992, when the Tide played in nine. • In the doubleheader matchups, the Crimson Tide finished 10-6 overall, including sweeps of Savannah State, Mississippi Valley State and Alabama A&M in all three of the originally scheduled billings. CRIMSON TIDE SWEEPS AUBURN ON THE ROAD • The unranked Tide headed to Auburn for a three-game series with the rival Tigers from May 8-10. Alabama would return home from the weekend on the Plains with a five-game win streak overall after a sweep of the then-ranked No. 24 Tigers. • Alabama’s sweep of Auburn on the Tigers’ home turf was its first in 32 years and first since May 7-8, 1983. • With one down and the game tied in the top of the ninth, the Crimson Tide used back-to-back solo home runs from Chance Vincent and then Will Haynie to power past Auburn, 4-2, in the series opener. Starter Taylor Guilbeau tossed 6.2 innings of work, allowing just two earned run on seven hits while striking out eight to give help maintain the tie ballgame. Thomas Burrows would enter for the final 1.2 innings to claim his first win of 2015. • Seventeen hits and seven runs provided enough insurance for the Crimson Tide pitching staff in the Tide’s second win of the weekend for a 7-6 victory. In a game that featured three lead changes, Alabama came out on top thanks to six hitters collecting double-digit knocks while every starter recorded at least one hit on the day. • The Tide claimed a 14-4 victory in Sunday’s series finale, using an eight-run ninth to ensure the series sweep. Starter Geoffrey Bramblett tossed 6.0 innings and allowed three runs for his team-leading seventh win, while the offense collected 16 hits to close out the weekend with 42 total. • The 14 runs in the series finale were the most scored by a Crimson Tide team vs. Auburn since the Tide put together 17 on April 27, 2008, in Tuscaloosa. It was the most scored by UA at Auburn since April 12, 1997, when Alabama put together a 22-run performance. • Alabama’s 10-run win was the largest margin of victory since a 13-3 win over the Tigers on May 16, 2009. CRIMSON TIDE PUTS 13 ON SEC ACADEMIC LISTS • The SEC offices announced the league’s academic honors list, on Tuesday, June 30.

2015 Review
OVERSTREET WRAPS UP A CONSISTENT FINAL SEASON • Kyle Overstreet has continued his consistent play through the end of the season. • The junior wrapped up regular-season action at .292 (64-219) with 37 RBI, a total that ranked second overall. • The junior rode his a hot streak into postseason action, heading into the SEC Tournament with a season-high nine-game hitting streak. Across the streak, he batted .316 (12-38) with two doubles, three RBI and six runs scored. He would record a hit in each of the first two tournament games before the streak ended at 11 total contests. • The nine-game, regular-season streak was Overstreet’s second of the season, the first of which was a part of a career-high 13-game streak dating back to last season. From June 1, 2014 to Feb. 27 of this year, he batted .340 (18-53) with three doubles, one triple, 14 RBI, six runs scored and three walks. • He led the team in hitting in three separate series this season, including vs. Maryland Eastern Shore, at then-No. 4 Florida, and home against seventh-ranked Vanderbilt. • Overstreet began the season in the series against Maryland Eastern Shore with a team-leading 10 RBI, while batting .545 (6-11) with two doubles, three runs and two walks. He recorded five RBI on Sunday along with Casey Hughston to mark the first time two Tide players have recorded five RBI in the same game since Clay Jones and Brett Booth accomplished the feat against the University of IllinoisChicago on Feb. 27, 2010. HENRY’S HUGE SECOND HALF • Freshman Cody Henry made a significant impact on the lineup in the second half. • Across the final 28-games of regular season play, Henry batted a team-leading .333 (33-99), while also recording 17 RBI and 17 walks to tie for the team lead in each category across that stretch. • Henry led Alabama in batting average during the month of April at .354 (19-56) while also leading the team in on-base percentage (.462). • The freshman got off to a scorching start to the month, collecting an eight-game hitting streak from April 2-14, across which he batted .608 (17-28) with three doubles, a triple, seven RBI, five runs and seven walks. Henry put together six multi-hit efforts across the stretch of games. • During April, the first-year played was named SEC Freshman of the Week for his efforts at Samford and against Georgia from April 7-12. He finished up the fourgame stretch this past week batting .714 (10-14) with two doubles and one triple to go with his four walks. He also added five RBI and four runs scored. HAYNIE’S HUGE 10-GAME SURGE • Over the 10 contests from April 25-May 12, sophomore catcher Will Haynie owned a .306 (11-36) average with some huge numbers. • Haynie collected one double, three of his team-leading eight homers, six RBI, eight runs and three walks over that 10-game stretch. • He tied for the team lead in runs scored and total bases (21) while slugging a whopping .583 to lead all Tide hitters by nearly .120 points in that category during the surge. • His three home runs over that time tie the rest of the team combined. • Haynie’s second homer during the 10 game-stretch was a moonshot, clearing the wall and then the scoreboard in the series-opening game at Auburn. The solo shot provided an extra run of insurance for the 4-2 win. • The third home run of the streak was another decisive shot, clearing the green monster in left at Auburn. The bomb helped Alabama maintain its lead before the Crimson Tide would pull away with an eight-run ninth inning for the 14-4 blowout victory.
APRIL WAS VERY, VERY GOOD TO GEORGIE • Junior center fielder Georgie Salem went on a tear during the month of April. • Salem started the season batting .218 (22-101) across the first 27 games, but during April he went on a tear batting .329 (27-82) to raise his average by .50. • The Crimson Tide’s regular starting center fielder collected four doubles, three triples, three homers, 13 RBI, 15 runs and five stolen bases to his season totals during April. He has also collected multi-hit games in 10 of the month’s 19 contests. • He started off the month on a six-game hitting streak, batting .375 (12-32) with two doubles, one triple, two home runs, three RBI, eight runs scored, one walk and two stolen bases over the streak. • His month was highlighted by a few big games: - 4/26 at Ole Miss: 3-for-5, 1 RBI, 2 R, 1 SB - 4/21 vs. MVSU - Game 2: 4-for-4, 2 3B, 3 RBI, 3 R, 1 SB the perfect 4-for-4 day was his first of the season and his career, while the four hits were a season-high - 4/18 at Missouri - Game 1: 2-for-5, 1 HR, 3 RBI, 1 R the homer was his third solo shot of the year - 4/7 at Samford: 2-for-4, 2 HR, 2 RBI, 2 R knocked two solo home runs for the first time in his threeyear career ... the two homers came in back-to-back at-bats HUGHSTON KICKED OFF THE SEASON ON A TEAR • Sophomore Casey Hughston entered the series at Florida on fire through his first 23 contests of the season. • Entering the series with the Gators, Hughston ranked second in the SEC in doubles (10), third in RBI (26) and total bases (61), fourth in slugging percentage (.701) and seventh overall in batting average (.402). • Up to that point, he was the team leader in doubles, home runs (4), RBI and slugging percentage. • Prior to coming up short in the second game of the Texas A&M series, the right fielder had reached base safely in 20 consecutive games. The 20-game streak would be the longest by a member of the Crimson Tide during 2015. • The Tide outfielder recorded two hit streaks of eight games over those first 23 contests. The second one spanned February 28-March 14 and included a .367 (1130) average, four doubles, one triple, one home run, six RBI, three runs scored, three walks and four stolen bases. • From opening day until the February 27 contests against Louisiana-Lafayette, he maintained an eight-game hitting streak. During that time, he batted .636 (21-33) with six doubles, a triple, two homers (one grand slam), 15 RBI and 12 runs scored. • In the March 6 contest against Lipscomb, the sophomore recorded three stolen bases in as many attempts. The three swipes marked the second time during 2015 that a UA player accomplished the feat, with Georgie Salem also stealing three bags in game one of the February 24 doubleheader against Savannah State. • The weekend at No. 3 Houston was a breakout series for the second-year player. Hughston finished the trio of games against the Cougars batting .583 (7-12) with three doubles, a home run - the Crimson Tide’s first of the season - three RBI, five runs, a walk and a hit-by-pitch. He recorded two doubles in Saturday’s contest for the first time in his career that he recorded two extra-base hits in the same game. • He wrapped up the weekend against Maryland Eastern Shore batting .846 (1113), leading the team in hits, doubles (3), total bases (16), runs scored (6) and slugging percentage (1.231). • In the series with the Hawks, he reached base safely in 10 consecutive at-bats from the fifth inning of the series opener before his sac fly in the bottom of the fourth inning of Sunday’s series finale. The streak was just two short of the all-time record of 12 set by Emeel Salem (2006) and Mick Kerns (1991). • On Sunday against UMES, he recorded five RBI in the game for the first time since Jared Reaves recorded five against South Alabama on February 26, 2011. He paired his five RBI with Kyle Overstreet, who matched Hughston’s RBI total, to mark the first time two Tide players collected five RBI apiece in the same game since Clay Jones and Brett Booth accomplished the feat against the University of Illinois-Chicago on February 27, 2010.

Honors and Awards 1977 MLB HALL OF FAME MEMBER - JOE SEWELL
RECORDS & HISTORY
Joe Sewell had a knack for this “funny game.” That knack has made him the only player in Crimson Tide baseball annals to be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in the quaint little town of Cooperstown, N.Y. The only other Crimson Tider in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is New York Yankees legendary broadcaster Mel Allen, who along with Florida alum Red Barber earned induction in 1978 as the inaugural winners of the Ford C. Frick Award. Inducted in the Hall of Fame in 1977, Sewell’s career spanned 14 seasons with the Cleveland Indians and New York Yankees. From the moment he left the Capstone as student body president in 1919, Sewell’s major league career was the stuff dreams are made of. After leading the Crimson Tide to the 1919 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association championship, Sewell was selected by the Indians and signed with the New Orleans team in the Southern Association. The Titus, Ala., native made his Major League debut with the Indians in the heat of a 1920 pennant drive, after their everyday shortstop was killed after being hit with a submarine pitch. Sewell rose to the challenge and batted .329 over the final 22 games of the season to help the Indians clinch the American League pennant. Alongside future Hall of Famers Stanley Coveleski, Tris Speaker and Bill Wambagass, Sewell and the Indians disposed of the Brooklyn Robins in seven games, taking the 1920 series five games to two. Sewell batted only .174 (4-for-23) in his first trip to the fall classic, but was solid in the field in all seven games, helping the Indians lay claim to the World Series title. He played 11 years for the Indians before joining the New York Yankees roster for the final three years of his outstanding Major League career. Sewell once again tasted greatness with Yankees in 1932, when New York beat the Chicago Cubs in the most talked about World Series in history. The Yankees won 107 games in 1932 and swept the Cubs in the best-of-seven fall classic. The Yankees took the first two games at Yankee Stadium (12-6 and 5-2) before moving to Wrigley Field for games three and four.
82 ALABAMA BASEBALL
In game three, Babe Ruth, a teammate and close friend of Sewell, made baseball history. Ruth’s fifth inning at-bat off Chicago hurler Charley Root is still the most talked about home run in baseball history. Ruth earlier had slugged a three-run home run in the first inning and legend has it that, after taking two called strikes in his third at-bat, the Sultan of Swat pointed to center field before he slammed a two-run home run over the head of Johnny Moore. It has become the most debated home run in the history of the fall classic. The Yankees won the game 7-5 and then closed out the Cubs the following day (13-6) to win the 1932 World Championship. In a lineup filled with Hall of Famers from Frank Crosetti to Bill Dickey to Lou Gehrig to Ruth, Sewell batted .333 (5-for-15) in the four games with six runs scored and two RBI. He was on base when Ruth slugged his first-inning home run in game three and witnessed the famed “called shot” from the Yankees dugout. Sewell also was a close friend and roommate with Yankee legend Lou Gehrig, whose career tragically was cut short due to ALS in the 1930s. In 14 Major League seasons, Sewell batted .312 (2,226-of-7,132) with 1,051 career RBI. He played in nearly 2,000 career games and logged over 7,000 at-bats for the Indians and Yankees. He also had more than 2,000 hits, 1,000 runs scored and 1,000 RBI. Sewell hit .300 or better in 10 of his 14 seasons in the big leagues. His best season was 1923 when he batted .353 (195-for-553) with the Indians. He collected a career-high 204 hits with the Indians in 1925, when he posted a .336 (204-for-608) batting average. An outstanding fielder, Sewell led the American League in putouts and assists four times in his career and led the league in fielding percentage three times. A “singles hitter” overshadowed by some the game’s greatest sluggers, Sewell set five major league records that continue to pass the test of time: fewest strikeouts in a season (3, two times); consecutive games without a strikeout (115); consecutive at-bats without a strikeout (437); most seasons of 500 or more at-bats with fewer than four strikeouts (4); and fewest career strikeouts (114). Throughout his sparkling 14-year career at the pinnacle of the baseball profession, Sewell turned in numbers that simply are amazing to the average baseball fan. For instance, his 114 career strikeouts in more than 7,000 career at-bats averages out to one strikeout for every 63 at-bats, and one strikeout in every 16 games played. And still years later, in 1964 at age 66, Sewell, a Tuscaloosa resident and businessman since his college days, took over the Crimson Tide’s baseball program as head coach. In his seven-year tenure, Alabama compiled a 114-99 (.535) record, which included winning the 1968 SEC Championship and a trip to the NCAA District III Playoffs in North Carolina. Sewell was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in 1977, along with Ernie Banks, Martin Dihigo, Pop Lloyd, Al Lopez and Amos Rusie. He is one of 11 Alabama natives to be enshrined in Cooperstown, joining fellow legends Hank Aaron (Mobile), Monte Irvin (Columbia), Heinie Manush (Tuscumbia), Willie Mays (Westfield), Willie McCovey (Mobile), Satchel Paige (Mobile), Ozzie Smith (Mobile), Don Sutton (Clio), Billy Williams (Whistler) and Early Wynn (Hartford). Sewell died on March 6, 1990, in Mobile, Ala., after a lengthy illness. At the time of his death he was the oldest living baseball Hall of Famer at 91 years of age.
Honors and Awards FORD C. FRICK AWARD - MEL ALLEN
Former Crimson Tide baseball manager and public address announcer Mel Allen was the voice of the New York Yankees for 39 years. Allen served as emcee for “Babe Ruth Day” at Yankee Stadium.
In his 58 years of sports broadcasting, Allen did it all. He called thousands of Yankees games, 24 Major League Baseball World Series, 20 All-Star Games, 14 Rose Bowls, five Orange Bowls, two Sugar Bowls, and more than 2,000 newsreels. A winner of numerous industry, listener and viewer awards, Allen is a member of National Baseball Hall of Fame (as the first Ford C. Frick winner in 1978), National (USA) Sportswriters and Broadcasters Hall of Fame (1972), the American Sportscasters Association Hall of Fame (1985), the Radio Hall of Fame (1988), the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, the University of Alabama Communication Hall of Fame (1995) and was enshrined to Monument Park at Yankee Stadium (July 25, 1999). Decades ago, Allen sat next to a weakened Lou Gehrig in the dugout before a game. Gehrig soon would die from the disease that forced his emotional, early farewell from the game. “Mel, sometimes your descriptions of the game are the only thing that keeps me going,” Gehrig said. Allen went into the tunnel and cried like a baby. How about that?
RECORDS & HISTORY
Mel Allen is as much a part of the national pastime as the squeeze play, hot dogs, and pennants flapping in the breeze. And he never played in the big leagues. Instead he broadcasted the game, and that allowed the fans to play the games over and over in their minds. His voice is the one that millions of fans associate with the game of baseball. Born Melvin Allen Israel, the son of a traveling textile representative in Birmingham, and raised all over Alabama, he was a spindly student manager for the Crimson Tide football and baseball teams when he received his chance to announce games. Allen’s first assignment behind the microphone was doing play-by-play of a football game between Tulane and Alabama, his beloved alma mater. While a student at Alabama, Allen sold shoes, coached speech and debate, and ultimately earned his law degree before winning an audition to announce in New York for CBS Radio. After the audition with CBS in 1936, Allen broadcast his first World Series for the network in 1938. He joined the Yankees the following year and stayed for 25 more, delighting millions of baseball fans with his warm sign-on – “Hello, everybody!” – and his trademark phrases “How about that!” and “Going, going, gone!” Allen was the voice of the New York Yankees from 1939 to 1964, covering the team that aroused more passion than any other in baseball. With his vivid phrases and pleasing Alabama drawl, he called many of the great events in the game: the Babe’s good-bye, Larsen’s perfect game in the 1956 World Series, Mantle’s heroics, Maris’ record-shattering summer (1961), Casey’s barbs and Yogi’s convoluted pronouncements. “Mel Allen meant as much to Yankee tradition as legends like Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio and Mantle,” Yankees owner George Steinbrenner said. “He was the voice of the Yankees.” In an era before television, millions of radio listeners around the nation envisioned the game through the descriptions of this thoughtful and articulate Alabamian who prided himself on being both a reporter and storyteller. Allen later moved to the Milwaukee Braves in 1965, went on to broadcast for the Cleveland Indians and handled a variety of assignments for NBC. He returned as the voice of the New York Yankees in 1970s and began a 19-year association with This Week in Baseball as host of the popular television program.

Honors and Awards 1983 GOLDEN SPIKES AWARD/BASEBALL AMERICA PLAYER OF THE YEAR - DAVID MAGADAN
RECORDS & HISTORY
Never before or since has an Alabama baseball player had a season at the plate like David Magadan did in 1983. The Alabama junior shattered school and Southeastern Conference records that still stand today in becoming the 1983 Golden Spikes Award winner, presented annually by the United States Baseball Federation. Magadan, who concluded the 1983 season with six school career records (at-bats, runs, hits, RBI, doubles, total bases and batting average), was a major contributor in Alabama’s national runner-up spot to Texas at the College World Series. He paced the Crimson Tide to winning the NCAA South Regional and Southeastern Conference titles en route to a 46-11 record, one the most successful campaigns in school history. After batting an incredible nation-leading .525 (114-for-217) as a junior, Magadan was voted the 1983 College “Player of the Year” by Baseball America and he also led the team in hits (114), doubles (31), total bases (180) and slugging percentage (.829) during his record-setting campaign. Magadan was a consensus first team All-America selection by the American Baseball Coaches Association, the Sporting News, Baseball America and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association during the 1983 season and was a three-time All-SEC selection at the Capstone. Two years earlier, Magadan hit safely in his initial 27 games as a freshman in 1981 and as a junior, went an incredible 10-for-11 (.909) at the 1983 SEC Tournament in Starkville, Miss., which included a five-hit game (2 doubles, 2 HRs) against Florida, en route to being named the Most Valuable Player of the tournament. He also set the CWS record by hitting safely in his first eight trips to the plate and wound up batting .550 (11-for-20) at Omaha in five games. After his freshman season at Alabama, Magadan led his American Legion team to the 1981 American Legion World Series title and was named the “Sports Club Amateur of the Year” when Tampa Post 248 won the national title. Magadan also is recognized in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum for his amateur accomplishments in 1981. The Tampa native played in 162 games during his Alabama career and batted .439 (268-for-610) with 64 doubles, 14 home runs and 188 RBI. His .439 batting average still ranks among the leaders in Division I baseball and remains atop the SEC record books as the highest career average in league history. Magadan still holds Alabama records for single-season batting average (.525, 1983), career batting average (.439, 1981-83), singleseason hits (114, 1983), single season doubles (31, 1983) and singleseason RBI (95, 1983). He also set the Alabama standards for highest batting average for a freshman (.399, 1981) and junior (.525, 1983) and most RBI (95, 1983) by a junior and shares the single-game record with five hits, a feat he accomplished an Alabama record three times against Alabama Christian (April 16, 1983), Florida (May 13, 1983) and Arizona State (June 4, 1983). First drafted by the Boston Red Sox out of Tampa’s Jesuit High School, Magadan then was one of six Alabama players selected in the 1983 MLB Draft. He signed with the New York Mets and was assigned to the Columbia, S.C. Mets in the class A South Atlantic League in his first pro ball assignment. In that first summer, Magadan batted .336 with three home runs and 32 RBI. Magadan made his Major League debut for the Mets against the Chicago Cubs on Sept. 17, 1986, as the starting first baseman at Shea Stadium. In the game, he went 3-for-4 with two RBI, including the gamewinner in the eighth inning that clinched the National League Eastern Division title for the eventual world champions. In 1990, Magadan finished third in the National League batting race with a career-best .328 (148-for-451) average. He played 16 years in the Major Leagues before retiring from the game after the 2001 season. In those 16 seasons, Magadan hit .288 (1,197-for-4,159) with 42 home runs and 495 RBI in 1,582 career big-league games. After his playing days, Magadan was named the roving minor league hitting instructor by the San Diego Padres, before being promoted as the

big-league hitting coach prior to the 2003 season. After four seasons with the Padres, Magadan was named the hitting coach for the Boston Red Sox in 2007. After working six years in Boston, Magadan began working as the hitting instructor for the Texas Rangers in 2013, a title which he still holds entering the 2015 Major League Baseball season. In June of 2010, Magadan joined former Alabama All-American and head coach Joe Sewell as the only Tide players to be inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame. In 2014, he was inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, joining fellow Alabama Crimson Tide representatives Eli Gold and Major Ogilvie.
Honors and Awards Andy Phillips is one of the most decorated players in the history of Alabama baseball. A member of coach Jim Wells’ first signing class, Philips rewrote the Alabama record books and in the process took the Crimson Tide baseball program to new heights with three trips to the College World Series in his four-year career. That impact was not limited to the Crimson Tide baseball family, as his talents were recognized nationally by writers, broadcasters and professional scouts. A consensus All-America selection as a senior, Phillips was named the 1999 National Collegiate Baseball Writer’s Association District III Player of the Year and finished runner up to Baylor’s Jason Jennings for the 1999 Dick Howser Trophy, presented by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association to the best player in college baseball. Florida State’s Marshall McDougal, Cal State Fullerton’s Spencer Oborn and Rice’s Mario Ramos also were finalists for the Howser Trophy, named for the former Florida State infielder and Kansas City Royals manager. Phillips also was named first team All-American by the NCBWA as well as being a member of the 1999 NCBWA Super All-American squad. In addition to the NCBWA honors, Phillips was named first team AllAmerican by College Baseball Insider and was a third team All-America selection by Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball and the American Baseball Coaches Association. The Demopolis, Ala., native wrapped up his Alabama career as the school record-holder in eight career statistical categories, including most games played (244), games started (224), at-bats (905), runs scored (222), total hits (322), home runs (61), RBI (224) and total bases (590). He also ranked second in career doubles (63) and triples (11), and was third in assists (537) and 10th in walks (86). As a senior in 1999, Phillips set the standard of excellence for Crimson Tide baseball. He played in 64 games and batted .398 (103-for-259) with 22 home runs and 66 RBI. He added 71 runs scored, 22 doubles, 30 walks and 16 stolen bases for an Alabama team that captured the SEC Tournament Championship and finished third at the College World Series. Phillips also set Alabama single-season records for total bases (203) and set records for most home runs (22) and RBI (66) by a shortstop at Alabama. The former Tide shortstop also set the SEC record with a 36-game hitting streak during his final season at Alabama, breaking the old standard of 33 games set by LSU second baseman Todd Walker (1993). During his record-setting hitting streak, Phillips batted .407 (66-for-162) with 17 home runs and 45 RBI. In 1998, Phillips was named the Sporting News National Player of the Week (April 1, 1998), after hitting .500 (8-of-16) with six runs scored, three home runs and 11 RBI in wins over Southern Mississippi and Mississippi State. Phillips was just as successful off the field, earning his degree from Alabama in 1999, while being an active member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and is an accomplished singer. Twice during his career, Phillips sang the National Anthem prior to a Crimson Tide home game at Sewell-Thomas Stadium. A three-time All-SEC selection, Phillips also was named to the 1999 SEC Good Works Team for his many hours of community service. Following an 11-year professional baseball career, which included five seasons in Major League Baseball, Phillips returned to Alabama as the hitting and infield coach, beginning with the 2011 season. His MLB debut came in 2004 for the New York Yankees and he homered on the first pitch he saw as a Major League player. Phillips played for the Yankees from 2004-07, before playing his final season in the majors with the Cincinnati Reds in 2008. Prior to returning to Alabama, he played two seasons in the Nippon Professional League in Japan.

Honors and Awards 2002 JOHNNY BENCH AWARD - JEREMY BROWN
RECORDS & HISTORY
The most decorated catcher in University of Alabama baseball history, Jeremy Brown was named the winner of the 2002 Johnny Bench Award, presented annually by the Greater Wichita Area Sports Commission to the nation’s best catcher. “The Greater Wichita Sports Commission would like to congratulate all of the award finalists and especially Jeremy Brown, the 2002 Johnny Bench National Collegiate Catcher of the Year,” Bob Hanson, President and CEO of the Greater Wichita Sports Commission, said. “Jeremy represents the University of Alabama in a remarkable manner.” Brown edged out Southern California junior Alberto Concepcion and University of Houston junior Chris Snyder to win the 2002 award. Brown said upon receiving the 2002 Johnny Bench Award. “I’d like to thank my family and my coaches for all of their support over the past four years. It’s truly an honor to receive this award from the best catcher of all time, Mr. Johnny Bench.” It is the highest honor awarded to an Alabama baseball player since David Magadan earned the 1983 Golden Spikes Award, presented annually to the best player in college baseball. The Golden Spikes award is the baseball equivalent to college football’s Heisman Trophy award. Bench, a native of Oklahoma City, and Major League Baseball Hall of Famer, was on hand to present the award to Brown. Bench was the starting catcher for the Cincinnati Reds back-to-back World Series championship teams in 1975 and 1976. Former Los Angeles Dodger first baseman Steve Garvey delivered the keynote address to more than 350 people in attendance at the Grand Eagle Ballroom at the downtown Wichita Hyatt Regency hotel. The banquet recognizes the achievements and dedication of local youth, high school, college and professional coaches in the Wichita area. Alabama head coach Jim Wells was also in attendance to see his All-American catcher receive the award, symbolizing the best college catcher in the nation. A two-year starter behind the plate for Alabama, Brown was a runner up to Baylor’s Kelly Shoppach in the 2001 Johnny Bench Award voting. Brown is one of four Southeastern Conference catchers to win the Johnny Bench Award, joining LSU’s Brad Cresse, who won the inaugural award in 2000, Mississippi State’s Ed Easley in 2007, and Florida’s Mike Zunino in 2012. A native of Hueytown, Ala., Brown appeared in 66 games for Alabama as a senior and hit a .320 average (70-for-219) with 11 home runs and 64 RBI. He also set the Alabama single-season record with 69 walks, surpassing the previous total of 66 walks held by Bret Elbin in 1983. Brown made only one error for Alabama in his final 119 games at the Capstone. He set the Tide single-season record with a 1.000 fielding percentage in 2001 and made only one error in 2002. Brown was second in the SEC with seven pickoffs and ranked among the league leaders by throwing out 43 percent of his attempted base stealers. A first-round pick of the Oakland Athletics, Brown concluded his career at Alabama as the all-time leader for games played (251), games started (251), runs scored (244), walks (207) and putouts (1,660). He still remains as the only player in SEC history to collect 300 career hits (307) and 200 career walks (207). Named a 2002 second team All-American by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association, Brown also was a first team All-SEC pick for the second consecutive year. He was also chosen as the District III Player of the Year by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association and was a finalist for the 2002 Dick Howser Trophy, presented by the St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce and Verizon.

Honors and Awards Beau Hearod went where few University of Alabama players had gone before. The slugger from Jennings, La., had a phenomenal 2003 season and in the process led the Southeastern Conference in both home runs (20) and RBI (82) in his final campaign with the Crimson Tide. A first team All-SEC selection, Hearod became the first Alabama player to lead the SEC in home runs since Doug Duke smacked a leagueleading 27 four-baggers as a junior in 1986. Hearod became the fourth player in school history to lead the league in home runs, joining Stan Moss (7, 1968), Butch Hobson (13, 1973) and Duke as the league’s home run champ. Hearod also was the first Crimson Tide slugger to lead the league in RBI since Duke’s league-best 82 in 1986. After putting up those staggering numbers during the rugged 62game season, which included 34 games against SEC teams, Hearod was tabbed as the District III Player of the Year by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association, marking the second consecutive year and the third time since the inception of the award in 1999 that an Alabama player has been bestowed the top in District III. Former Alabama catcher Jeremy Brown, a first round draft selection by the Oakland Athletics in 2002 and the 2002 Johnny Bench award winner, was named the 2002 District III Player of the Year following an outstanding senior season. Andy Phillips, the school’s all-time home run leader, won the inaugural District III Player of the Year award in 1999 and was one of the three finalists for the prestigious Dick Howser Trophy, presented to the NCBWA Player of the Year. Other 2003 district winners included Boston College pitcher Chris Lambert (District I), St. John’s outfielder Mike Rozema (District II), South Carolina lefty David Marchbanks (District IV), Ohio State pitcher Scott Lewis (District V), Nebraska first baseman Matt Hooper (District VI), Tulane first baseman and left hand pitcher Michael Aubrey (District VII) Southern University shortstop Rickie Weeks (District VII), New Mexico first baseman Billy Belcher (District VIII) and Arizona State shortstop Dustin Pedroia (District IX). From the ranks of these 10 District winners, Southern University’s Rickie Weeks was named the winner of the 2003 Dick Howser Trophy. As a senior, Hearod started all 62 games and batted .346 (80for-231) with 20 home runs and 82 RBI. He was also named the Most Valuable Player of the 2003 SEC Tournament at the Hoover Met, leading the Crimson Tide to its second straight postseason title and sixth under coach Jim Wells.

Wade LeBlanc had a freshman season like no other in the 111-year history of the University of Alabama baseball program. The talented freshman left-hander racked up just about every postseason award available as he became the first rookie in Crimson Tide baseball history to earn National and SEC Freshman of the Year honors. LeBlanc was tabbed the 2004 National Freshman of the Year by Collegiate Baseball newspaper after being named the 2004 SEC Freshman of the Year at the conclusion of the regular season. LeBlanc’s turning point in the season was the back-to-back wins against No. 6 LSU and No. 10 Florida in early May. He beat LSU 8-2 on May 1 in Baton Rouge and then shut out the high-powered Gators in Tuscaloosa on May 7, allowing only four hits and striking out nine batters. “I guess the LSU and Florida games back-to-back really told me what kind of season I was having,” LeBlanc said. “This whole season was crazy, I never thought I would have a year like this and be named National and SEC Freshman of the Year. This is a great honor.” LeBlanc finished his outstanding freshman season by setting Alabama freshman records for innings pitched (112.2), strikeouts (98) and complete games (8) while tying the Alabama freshman record with eight wins. In 16 games, including 15 starts, LeBlanc posted an 8-4 record and 2.08 ERA. He worked 112.2 innings and allowed 87 hits, 37 runs and 26 earned runs, with 26 walks and 98 strikeouts. LeBlanc also threw eight complete games and pitched three shutouts in 2004. In addition to his freshman records, LeBlanc also ranks among the school’s top 10 single-season leaders in several categories. His eight complete games tied Gene Lary (1955) for second place on the school’s single-season list. The three shutouts matched Mike Innes (1968) and Drew Blocker (1974) for third-place on the single-season shutout charts. LeBlanc’s 112.2 innings pitched tied Dean Hayes (1983) for seventh place on the single-season innings while the 98 strikeouts tied Jarrod Kingrey (1998) and Steve Shoemaker (1994) for 10th place. LeBlanc was tabbed a third team All-American by both the National Collegiate Baseball Writer’s Association (NCBWA) and Baseball America. He was the only freshman named to the 2004 Baseball America AllAmerica team. LeBlanc also was named to the 2004 SEC All-Freshman team and was a second team All-SEC selection as voted by the league’s 12 head coaches. SEBaseball.com tabbed also tabbed him as the 2004 SEC Freshman of the Year as well as a first team All-SEC selection. He also was selected to the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) All-South Region team. LeBlanc was drafted by the San Diego Padres in the second round of the 2006 MLB Amateur Draft. He made his Major League debut on Sept. 8, 2008 for the Padres. Through the 2011 season, LeBlanc had appeared in 54 games, 52 as a starter, with a 17-22 overall record in four years with the Padres. He spent the 2012 season in the Miami Marlins organization. After starting the year in Triple-A, LeBlanc made 25 appearances with nine Major League starts. He was 2-5 with a 3.67 ERA in his first season with the Marlins. In 2013, LeBlanc started the season in the big leagues where he appeared in 13 games with seven starts for the Marlins. He was then picked up on waivers by Houston, where he made four relief appearances for the Astros. In the 2014 offseason, LeBlanc signed a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Angels on Anaheim. He began the season in Triple-A Salt Lake, and eventually got the call-up to the Angels on May 25. He was designated for assignment by Los Angeles and picked up by the New York Yankees but was eventually designated for assignment once again. He returned to the Angles in the midst of a playoff race and spent the finality of the 2014 season in Los Angeles. For his MLB career, LeBlanc is 21-33 with a 4.47 ERA (222 ER/446.2 IP), making 107 appearances with 71 starts while striking out 302 batters.

RECORDS & HISTORY
Alabama right fielder Kent Matthes wrapped up a remarkable senior season by winning Southeastern Conference Player of the Year honors and being tabbed a consensus All-American. Matthes is the first Alabama player to win SEC Player of the Year honors since the league began presenting the award in 1993. “Kent Matthes had a great year and deserves this honor,” former Alabama head coach Jim Wells said. “It has been great to sit in the dugout and watch him do the things he has done this year. He has had a great year and put up some incredible numbers. You read sometimes about guys having years like this, but he usually isn’t on your team. This year we have that player and it has been fun watching him on and off the field.” Matthes was also named first team All-American by every baseball publication, including the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA), Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball, the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA), Rivals and PING. “It is a great honor to be recognized by the best college baseball league with all the talented players we have in the SEC,” Matthes said. “It is an honor to be named SEC Player of the Year and to be able to accomplish the feat as a senior. This has been an incredible season and I am happy to be a part of this team.” “I was looking to take advantage of my senior year and make the most of it,” said Matthes. “I worked hard in the off-season with Dax (Norris), got hot early, hit a lot of home runs and they kept coming. I tried to stay focused on winning each game and not the stats.” The senior was named the 2009 NCBWA District III Player of the Year, was a finalist for the Golden Spikes Award, a semifinalist for the Dick Howser Trophy and a member of the ABCA All-South Region team. The Orlando native hit .358 with 28 home runs and 81 RBI for the Crimson Tide. He led the SEC in home runs, RBI, total bases (174) and slugging percentage (.883). He was also third in runs scored (65) and sixth in hitting. Matthes set the Alabama single-season record with 28 home runs, which tied for the national home run lead with Middle Tennessee State’s Bryce Brentz. Matthes is the fifth NCAA statistical national champion in school history. He broke the Alabama single-season home run record with his 28th home run against South Carolina on May 20 at the SEC Tournament. He slugged his 27th home run of the season in the Tide’s regular season finale at Auburn on May 16 to tie Doug Duke’s record set in 1986. The 2009 home run barrage from Matthes included four multihome run games and one walk-off home run while 16 of his 28 home runs tied the game or gave Alabama the lead (10 go-ahead home runs). He also had nine game-winning RBI in 2009. Matthes also set the Alabama record with a home run in six straight games and twice was named National and SEC Player of the Week. He hit for the cycle on Feb. 24 against Nicholls State and followed with a walkoff 10th inning home run the next day. Drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the fourth round of the 2009 MLB Amateur Draft, Matthes was named the 2011 California League’s Most Valuable Player for the Class A Modesto Nuts after an outstanding season at the plate. He finished the 2011 season with a .334 average, 23 home runs, 39 doubles and 95 RBI. Matthes spent the 2012 season in Double-A, playing for the Tulsa Drillers where he hit .214 with 17 home runs, 18 doubles and 40 RBI. In 2013, Matthes opened the year in Tulsa, before being called up to Triple-A Colorado Springs for the final 47 games of the season. With the Triple-A Sky Sox, Matthes hit .297 wiuth 11 home runs and 31 RBI. After being claimed off waivers by the Oakland A’s, the former Tide standout spent 2014 split between Double-A Midland and Triple-A Sacramento where he hit .232 (92-396) with 26 doubles, 16 home runs and 72 RBI while adding 57 runs.
