Dan Spencer is 53-61 overall and 25-29 in Big 12 play during his third season as head coach of the Red Raiders. Named the eighth head coach in Texas Tech history during the summer of 2008, Spencer has wasted no time rebuilding the Tech program. His second season as head coach saw the Red Raiders finish fifth in the Big 12 (best finish since 2004) and defeat seven nationally-ranked opponents, which includes an upset over No. 1 Texas, 4-2, in the Big 12 Tournament. In fact, Spencer and the Red Raiders were the only Big 12 team to defeat Texas twice during the 2010 season, as they also picked up a 12-5 victory in Lubbock. The Red Raiders were also just one of two teams in the Big 12 to win a series against College World Series-bound Oklahoma, taking two out of three against the Sooners at Dan Law Field in Lubbock. Spencer’s squad finished 28-29 overall in 2010, matching the program’s most wins since 2006. The Red Raiders led the conference with 162 doubles (most since 2003 – Baylor) to rank seventh in the country and also led all Big 12 teams with a .310 batting average in conference games. Texas Tech led the Big 12 in batting during league play in 2009 with a .311 average. Spencer’s squad became the first team to lead the conference in batting during Big 12 play in back-to-back seasons since 2003-04 (Baylor). In addition, Texas Tech led the league with 83 doubles during Big 12 games, which is the fourth highest total in Big 12 history and the most since Missouri set the record of 129 in 1997 – the first year of the Big 12 Conference. In only three years (two as head coach), Spencer has coached five Tech student-athletes (four pitchers, one position player) who have been drafted in the top-10 rounds, including four in the top four rounds. Right-handed pitchers Chad Bettis (RHP – 2nd Round – Colorado Rockies) and Bobby Doran (RHP – 4th Round – Houston Astros) were drafted and signed following the 2010 season. Spencer, 45, rejoined the Texas Tech Baseball family on July 2, 2007 when he was named associate head coach on the staff of former head coach Larry Hays. He spent the 2008 season in that role where he coached the pitchers and catchers and headed Tech’s recruiting front. His 2008 pitching staff produced two top-10 round MLB draft picks in juniors Zach Stewart and James Leverton, both of which had never been drafted prior to that season. Stewart was taken in the third round by the Cincinnati Reds while Leverton was taken in the eighth round by the Chicago Cubs. Prior to his arrival at Texas Tech, he spent 11 seasons at Oregon State, the last three as associate head coach, where he served as pitching/catching coach and recruiting coordinator. His pitching staffs during the last two seasons of his Oregon State tenure were instrumental in helping the Beavers become the first back-to-back College World Series Champions since LSU in the late 1990s. In those two seasons, his staffs compiled 3.41 and 3.48 cumulative ERAs while leading the team to 50-16 and 49-18 respective records. His group led the Pac-10 in ERA in both 2005 and 2006 while his bullpen helped pave the way to consecutive national titles by contributing 20-plus saves in both 2006 and 2007. Under his leadership, the Beavers had three pitchers and one catcher named to All-America teams and seven players drafted in the top 10 rounds of the MLB Draft. Eddie Kunz, the ace of the 2007 staff, and catcher Mitch Canham, the squad’s leading hitter, were both first round draft selections in the 2007 MLB Draft. His collegiate coaching career began at the junior college level six years before arriving at Oregon State, as he landed his first job as an assistant coach at Tacoma Community College in Tacoma, Wash., in 1991. After just one season in Tacoma, he picked up his first head coaching position as he took over the program at Green River Community College in 1992. While at Green River, he compiled a record of 131-67 between 1992 and 1996.

2010 RED RAIDER BASEBALL GAME NOTES ● Red Raider Classic ● February 18-20, 2011
2011 TEXAS TECH BASEBALL GAME NOTES
BIG 12 PRESEASON POLLS
TEXAS TECH VS. THE MID-AMERICAN CONFERENCE Texas Tech is 21-2 all-time against current teams of the Mid-American Conference. Although the Red Raiders are taking on Western Michigan for the first time, they have previously played four teams from the conference, including Akron (1-0), Eastern Michigan (6-0), Miami (Ohio) (5-0) and Northern Illinois (9-2), who Tech also hosts this season at the Brooks Wallace Memorial Classic. Tech most recently took on Northern Illinois in 2008 (W, 8-5). TEXAS TECH VS. THE BIG TEN CONFERENCE Texas Tech is 6-2 all-time against current teams of the Big Ten Conference. Texas Tech played Michigan for the first time last season, winning both games in Lubbock. The Red Raiders have also played Illinois (1-0) and Ohio State (1-0) while taking a 2-2 record into this season against Northwestern. The Red Raiders also play Iowa and Michigan. Tech hosts Iowa (March 11-12) and travels to Ann Arbor (May 10-11) for the first time. TEXAS TECH VS. THE GREAT WEST CONFERENCE Texas Tech is 19-21 all-time against current teams of the Great West Conference. They will take on Utah Valley for the first time and have also battled New York Tech (1-1) with the majority of their games against UT-Pan American (18-20). TECH DEFEATS ALUMS 12-2 Kelby Tomlinson homered and Jamodrick McGruder went 2-for-5 with three RBI to lead Texas Tech to a 12-2 victory in the second annual baseball alumni game at Dan Law Field on Saturday afternoon. The Red Raiders scored a pair of runs in the second and had big innings in the fourth and sixth innings - scoring four in each frame - to win its second alumni game in as many years. Texas Tech defeated its alums 21-1 in last season’s inaugural game. Left-handed starter Robbie Kilcrease picked up the win tossing two-scoreless predetermined innings to start the game. Red Raider pitchers’ combined didn’t allow a walk after the first batter of the game. Sophomore Jamen Parten (2.2 IP, 3 K), junior John Neely (1.2 IP, 2 K), junior Zach Fowler (1 IP), sophomore Aaron Corwin (0.2 IP) and freshman Trey Masek (1 IP) all saw action on the mound for the 2011 Red Raiders. TAKING A LOOK BACK Texas Tech is coming off a 28-29 overall record in 2010, a season that saw many improvements over the past several years. Dan Spencer led the Red Raiders to a 13-14 record in Big 12 action, good enough for a fifth-place finish. It was the highest Tech has finished in the league since 2004 and tied for the most overall wins since 2006. Texas Tech had the Big 12 Freshman of the Year (Barrett Barnes), two All-Big 12 Tournament picks (Barnes, Chad Bettis), several All-Big 12 selections and two Freshmen All-Americans (Barnes, Jamodrick McGruder), which was a first for the program. ON THE HORIZON Texas Tech continues its extended homestand the second week of the season hosting the Brooks Wallace Memorial Classic, Feb. 24-27. The Red Raiders will take on BYU (March 24-25) and Northern Illinois (March 26-27). 18-GAME HOMESTAND TO OPEN THE SEASON IS A SCHOOL RECORD Texas Tech opens the season playing 18 consecutive home games - which is the longest homestand to open a season in school history. It matches the longest homestand in school history, which was first done in 1988 (Feb. 19-March 16), as the 1988 squad went 16-2 with a 15-game win streak to open the stand. On the other side, Tech has had some notable road swings to begin a campaign which includes playing 16 in a row to open the 1972 season (9-7) and playing 25 of its first 28 games on the road to begin the 1976 season (14-11). TEXAS TECH ON OPENING DAY Texas Tech is 38-23 on Opening Day, which includes an 11-1 record since 1999. Third-year head coach Dan Spencer has led Tech to back-to-back wins on Opening Day, including a 14-3 victory over Southern Utah in 2009 - marking his first win as skipper of the Red Raiders - and last season’s 8-3 win over Jacksonville State. Texas Tech’s only loss over the past 12 years on Opening Day came against then-No. 19 Louisiana-Lafayette, 0-4, at the Roadrunner Classic in San Antonio on Feb. 23, 2008. OPENING DAY AT “THE LAW” Texas Tech has been nearly unbeatable when hosting Opening Day on their home turf at Dan Law Field with a 25-5 all-time record. The Red Raiders have won 11 straight Opening Day games at Dan Law Field, dating back to a 1-10 loss at home against TCU on February 11, 1997. In fact, since 1986, Texas Tech is 17-1 on Opening Day at Dan Law Field. The Red Raiders will be playing their third consecutive Opening Day at home. OPENING DAY SUCCESS FOR NEWCOMERS You don’t have to go back too far to find an incredible amount of success for Tech newcomers on Opening Day. One year ago, Barrett Barnes had a memorable collegiate debut going 3-for-4 with three runs, two homers (2-run, 3-run), six RBI and two stolen bases against Jacksonville State (2/19/10). Barnes became the first Tech freshmen to hit two homers and also have three base hits on Opening Day in over 10 years. It was the best performance for a Tech freshman on Opening Day since Roger Kieschnick went 2-for-4 with three runs, a grand slam and six RBI in his collegiate debut against Louisiana-Monroe on Feb. 3, 2006. COMING OUT RUNNIN’ If the past two Opening Day’s are any indication, Western Michigan’s catcher better be ready to come up throwing. The past two seasons, Tech has recorded season highs in stolen bases on Opening Day. In 2009, the Red Raiders swiped six bases (Rueda 3; Reed 2; Kenworthy) against Southern Utah and last year Tech grabbed five stolen bases (Barnes 2; LeJeune, Mayo, Hagen).

2010 RED RAIDER BASEBALL GAME NOTES ● Red Raider Classic ● February 18-20, 2011
2011 TEXAS TECH BASEBALL GAME NOTES DANIEL COULOMBE GETS OPENING DAY START - FIRST TECH NEWCOMER TO START OPENING DAY SINCE 2006 Junior lefty Daniel Coulombe will get the start for the Red Raiders on Opening Day against Western Michigan. Coulombe will be the first Tech newcomer to start on Opening Day since 2006. Five years ago Texas Tech defeated Louisiana-Monroe, 21-5, behind starting pitcher Josh Tomlin, who pitched his only season at Texas Tech in 2006. Tomlin’s outing was a success as he tossed 6.0 innings allowing one run (earned) on three hits with one strikeout and one walk. In addition, Tomlin made his major league debut this past year with the Cleveland Indians on July 27 against the New York Yankees.
TEXAS TECH IN THE PRESEASON POLLS Texas Tech has been ranked anywhere from seventh-to-ninth in preseason Big 12 Conference polls by Baseball America, Perfect Game USA, College Baseball Daily, College Baseball Today and by the league’s head coaches. The Red Raiders are preseason No. 7 in the league’s coaches’ poll, which is their highest ranking since being tabbed 6th in 2007. Here is a look at previous seasons and where Tech was predicted to finish in the coaches’ poll compared to where they finished at the end of the season in the league standings.

WILDCATS AND RED RAIDERS MEET AGAIN The second game of the regular season matches Texas Tech against Northwestern. This game will sound familiar to Texas Tech fans due to the Red Raider football team taking on the Wildcats in the first football game of the New Year at the first inaugural TicketCity Bowl at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas on New Year’s Day morning. The football Red Raiders and Wildcats had never played before this year’s bowl matchup that Texas Tech won 4538. The Red Raiders and Wildcats will meet on the diamond for the fifth time (2-2). DOUBLE THE FUN Texas Tech and Utah Valley may have never played, but they have one thing in common, doubles, and lots of them. In 2010, Texas Tech finished third in the nation in doubles per game (2.84) and ranked seventh in the nation in total doubles (162). The team that led the country in doubles, Utah Valley, will be joining the Red Raiders for the Red Raider Classic for the opening weekend tourney. Utah Valley led the country averaging 3.19 doubles per contest and with 188 total doubles on the season.
OPPONENTS IN THE POLLS Six of Texas Tech’s opponents received preseason national rankings as TCU, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M, Kansas State and Baylor all appeared in at least one of the following polls: Collegiate Baseball (CB), National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association, Baseball America and USA Today/ESPN Coaches (ESPN).

BARRETT BARNES PILES UP THE PRESEASON ACCOLADES Following perhaps the most productive and most decorated freshman season in Texas Tech baseball history, Barrett Barnes is receiving the preseason praises from several national publications./websites. Barnes, who led Texas Tech with a .341 batting average and 14 home runs as a freshman and posted 53 RBI, has been named to several All-Big 12 teams and recognized for his power, hitting ability and projectability as a professional down the road. Here is a look at Barnes’ preseason honors: - Perfect Game USA No. 3 Pro Prospect - Big 12 (Class of 2012) - Perfect Game USA Preseason All-Big 12 - Baseball America Preseason All-Big 12 - Baseball America No. 5 Pro Prospect - Big 12 (Class of 2012) - Baseball America: “Best Raw Power” - Baseball America No. 48 Pro Prospect (College Juniors) - CollegeBaseball360.com: No. 6 “College Baseball 1B to Watch” - CollegeBaseballInsider.com: “Most Underrated Hitter in Big 12” - CollegeBaseballInsider.com: “Top 3 Pure Hitters in Big 12” - CollegeBaseballInsider.com: “Top 3 Power Threats in Big 12” - College Baseball Daily Preseason All-Big 12 - College Baseball Daily Projected No. 32 Player in the Country
TEXAS TECH SIGNS EIGHT DURING EARLY SIGNING PERIOD Texas Tech announced its early signing class in November, a class that includes three pitchers and three infielders that will join the Red Raiders for the fall. Five of Tech’s signees are high school standouts while only one will head to Lubbock from a junior college. - Blake Bass - INF - R/R - Lubbock, Texas/Coronado - Ryan Bielitz - LHP - L/L - The Woodlands, Texas/The Woodlands - Bryant Burleson - INF/RHP - R/R - Midland, Texas/Midland Christian - Trey Ford - INF- R/R - Scottsdale, Ariz./Chaparral/South Mountain CC - David Gates - RHP - R/R - Lubbock, Texas/Monterey - Jayden O’Dell - RHP - R/R - Tuscola, Texas/Jim Ned
RED RAIDERS ON THE FALL ACADEMIC HONOR ROLL The Texas Tech baseball program produced 18 student-athletes who received academic honor roll status following the fall semester. Ten Tech players earned Dean’s List status (3.50-4.00 GPA) while three Red Raiders recorded perfect 4.0 GPAs.
TEXAS TECH NEWCOMERS The Red Raiders’ 2011 roster will have several new faces, 17 to be exact. And if you toss in the four players who sat out all of last season after undergoing Tommy John surgery, that number of newcomers reaches into the 20’s. But that doesn’t mean Tech’s roster will have inexperience overall. Several of Tech’s newcomers have received high school All-America honors while shortstop Kelby Tomlinson was tabbed a JUCO All-American at Seward County last season and Andre Wheeler (OF/LHP), Daniel Coulombe (LHP) and Taylor Christian (RHP) have been selected in the MLB Draft during their baseball careers.
77 CONSECUTIVE GAMES WITHOUT BEING SHUTOUT Texas Tech begins the 2011 season with a streak of 77 consecutive games without being shutout in a game. The last time the Red Raiders were shutout was against then-No. 11 Oklahoma (0-4) on April 11, 2009, in Norman, Okla. Only three times in the Dan Spencer head coaching era have the Red Raiders been blanked on the scoreboard.
POPESCU IS LONE SENIOR FOR RED RAIDERS The Red Raider roster has one very familiar theme, and infield Nick Popescu doesn’t meet the criteria. Every player besides Popescu will have remaining years of college eligibility left after this season as Popescu is the lone senior for the Red Raiders. After watching several juniors sign in the MLB Draft last season, Popescu will be the only player on the Tech roster that will be recognized on Red Raider Senior Day in May.
71 CONSECUTIVE HOME GAMES WITHOUT BEING SHUTOUT The Red Raiders’ consecutive games without being shutout streak stretches back even further when finding the last time they didn’t score in a game when playing at Dan Law Field. The last time Tech was shutout at home was against then-No. 2 Missouri (0-1) on March 28, 2008, a streak of 71 consecutive games at Dan Law Field.
JOHNSON BECOMES FIRST RED RAIDER FROM ILLINOIS SINCE 1993 Zach Johnson’s birth certificate reads: Lubbock, Texas, while both parents attended and graduated from Texas Tech but Zach Johnson’s hometown is Champaign, Ill., making him the first Texas Tech player from the state of Illinois since 1993 (Jason Brooks, Mt. Vernon, Ill.). Johnson is a freshman right-handed pitcher who graduated from Saint Thomas More High School, where he went 8-1 with a 1.09 ERA in 64.2 innings pitched in 2010.
NEARING 200TH ALL-TIME WIN IN BIG 12 PLAY Texas Tech enters the 2011 season with a 197-183-2 all-time record in Big 12 play, needing only three league victories to mark the program’s 200th win in Big 12 play. This season marks the 15th year of Big 12 Baseball, which began in 1997 when the Red Raiders won the first-ever conference title. The following season, 1998, Texas Tech claimed the Big 12 Tournament championship crown.
ALUMINUM BAT RESTRICTIONS PUT IN PLACE FOR 2011 COLLEGIATE SEASON In an effort to make NCAA collegiate bats more like wooden bats, the aluminum bat restrictions for 2011 are supposed to bring offensive numbers back down to earth after many offensive years of final scores resembling those on football scoreboards. Throughout the 2011 season we will compare statistics from this season to the previous five seasons to see what differences the newest bats bring to the game. Stats below are based on average per game. SEASON BA R H 2B 3B HR XBH TB SLG% OB% 2011 - - - - - - - - - 2010 .307 7.2 10.7 2.8 0.2 1.1 4.2 17.2 .494 .398 2009 .299 6.1 10.2 1.8 0.2 0.7 2.7 14.5 .424 .382 2008 .293 6.9 10.2 2.3 0.2 0.9 3.4 15.6 .449 .392 2007 .286 6.4 9.8 2.0 0.2 1.1 3.3 15.4 .449 .375 2006 .315 6.8 11.1 1.9 0.3 0,9 3.1 16.3 .462 .389
STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE Boyd’s World ranks Texas Tech 26th overall in strength of schedule and with the 50th most difficult non-conference schedule. Only Oklahoma State (No. 18) and Baylor (No. 23) have a more difficult schedule according to the website. NEW OPPONENTS Texas Tech will be taking on three opponents this season for the first time. Iowa, Western Michigan and Utah Valley will all face the Red Raiders for the first time in program history. Last season, Tech faced four first-time opponents, including Michigan, BethuneCookman, Jacksonville State and Alabama A&M. The Red Raiders went 8-0 against their first-time opponents last season, with a 2-0 record against each team.
