2011 VMI BASEBALL

With the opening of Gray-Minor Stadium in February 2007, VMI Baseball enjoys one of the best collegiate baseball facilities in the region. With seating for over 1,400 fans, covered batting cages, a state-ofthe-art scoreboard with video board and a first-class press box, Gray-Minor Stadium lives up to the legacies of two of the most successful VMI Baseball alums to ever wear the Red, Yellow and White. Gray-Minor Stadium, named after Senator Elmon T. Gray '46 and Gil Minor '63, became the home of the VMI Baseball program in 2007, and the Keydets did their best to celebrate the new era, going 23-7 at home with several historic wins, including a 5-2 win over #3 Virginia. In addition to features like 700 chair-back seats, rebuilt dugouts, professional scout and handicapped seating behind home plate, a concessions stand and large restrooms, Gray-Minor Stadium also gives the Keydets an opportunity to host the program’s first night games. Once again, VMI made the most of this new feature, going 7-2 in 2007 under the Lexington lights. The construction of the stadium came just five years after a complete renovation of the playing surface itself, as both the infield and outfield surfaces were revamped. Also as a part of the Gray-Minor construction, the field received yet another upgrade, as new fencing was installed, raising the fence height to 15 feet around the entire outfield. Gray-Minor Stadium completes an upgrade of the program’s facilities that began in August of 2003, when construction on Paulette Hall, formerly the Patchin Field Locker Room Complex commenced. The project entailed the expansion of the existing locker rooms along with the addition of one locker room for visiting teams and a trainers room. Along with the improvements and additional square footage, the locker rooms were fitted with audio and visual equipment. The funding for the project, estimated at $1.1 million, was donated by Bill Paulette ‘69, Minor ‘63, Senator Gray ‘46, and the Keydet Club. Paulette Hall was constructed by Paulette’s general contracting company, KBS, A trio of former VMI catchers, as Senator Elmon Gray '46 and was dedicated along with Gray(left) and Gil Minor '63 (right) pose with VMI head coach Minor Stadium on Mar. 27, 2007.

Head Coach Marlin Ikenberry

Head Coach Marlin Ikenberry VMI ‘95 Eighth Season 194-189 Career Record Winningest Coach In Program History

O

ver the past seven seasons, the VMI baseball program has enjoyed unprecedented success. Winning games against top-10 teams, receiving national rankings and being regarded as one of the top programs in the state and in the region are now attributes of a program built under head coach Marlin Ikenberry. Ikenberry concluded his seventh season, 2010, at the helm of the program as the winningest coach in the history of VMI Baseball. In recent years, the Keydets posted three consecutive winning seasons for the first time in 52 years, defeated a ranked team for four straight years, and in 2010, earned VMI's first win over a top-ranked team in Institute history, beating #1 Virginia at Gray-Minor Stadium.This year's team set new school records for batting average (.325), slugging percentage (.529), hits (629), runs (414), doubles (133), home runs (78), RBIs (390),

at bats (1933) and total bases (1022). On the mound, the staff’s 441 strikeouts were tied for the most in school history, while the team’s 8.26 strikeouts per nine innings rate is the third-best. In addition, the 11 saves the team posted is tied for fourth on the list and the 3.46 walks per nine innings rate comes in seventh. Finally, the team’s ERA (5.43) ranks ninth in the Alumnium Bat Era. Marlin Ikenberry was named head coach on July 22, 2003, being promoted to the top spot in the program after former head coach Tom Slater departed VMI in the summer of 2003 to accept a coaching position at the University of Florida. As Slater's top assistant and recruiting coordinator for three years, Ikenberry played a key role in the resurgence of the VMI baseball program that set a school record for victories in 2003 at 24-28.That same year, the Keydets posted a 16-14 mark in the Southern Conference, securing their first winning conference mark since 1969. Since taking over the program, Ikenberry has continued that success, breaking the school record for wins three times over the past five seasons. After winning 23 games in his first year and 27 contests in his second season, historic ground was broken in 2006, when the Keydets won 30 games for the first time in program history, while also marking the first time in 41 years that the program posted a winning record. That success continued in 2007, as Ikenberry guided his squad to a 34-21 record, knocking off a pair of teams ranked in the top 10 nationally for the first time in program history. As a result,VMI Baseball earned its first-ever national ranking, being tabbed 30th in the country by Collegiate Baseball in back-to-back weeks while also receiving votes in the Writers’ Poll. Hailed as one of the state's top recruiters, Ikenberry has signed several players that have enjoyed great success in Lexington. He is responsible for the signing of two Louisville Slugger Freshman All-Americans, a Southern Conference Freshman of the Year, five Big South First-Team All-Conference selections and a 2003 All-SoCon Tournament player. Ikenberry, 38, served as VMI's recruiting coordinator and pitching and catching coach in 2003 and was vital in the staff's remarkable improvement that season.Working closely with the Keydet pitchers and catchers, Ikenberry helped guide the pitching staff to an improvement of nearly two runs in team earned run average from the previous season. "We're very excited to have Marlin Ikenberry as our head baseball coach," VMI athletic director and former Keydets head baseball coach Donny White said upon Ikenberry's hiring. "He has all the ingredients to be a great head coach. His recruiting work has made a difference in the program and has certainly been instrumental to our success. He has the leadership and abilities to build on the program's recent performance and reach the goal of a conference championship." A 1995 graduate of VMI, Ikenberry played for the Keydets and was recruited by VMI Hall of Famer Chris Finwood, now head coach at Western Kentucky. Ikenberry returned to his alma mater in the summer of 2000 after spending three years at the College of William and Mary as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. While in Williamsburg, Ikenberry earned a reputation as one of the state's top recruiters and landed two high school All-Americans and freshman All-Americans. In 2000, the Tribe of William and Mary finished with a school record 32 wins and placed third in the Colonial Athletic Association Tournament. The next season,William and Mary won the CAA Championship and earned a berth in the NCAA Regional Tournament. During his time in Williamsburg, Ikenberry coached future Major Leaguer Brendan Harris and recruited future Major Leaguer Chris Ray and current professional player Chris Shaver.

Assistant Coaches

Assistant Coach Jonathan Hadra Second Season VMI ‘04

J

onathan Hadra, a four-year letterman and 2004 graduate of VMI, recently completed his first season back coaching with the Keydets. Hadra worked with the infielders and hitters during the 2010 season, and the team reaped immediate rewards. Not only did the offense break nine school records, including batting average, home runs and total bases, but the team posted the third-best fielding percentage in VMI history. Junior Sam Roberts was a quarterfinalist for the Brooks Wallace Award, presented to the nation's top shortstop, while his fellow infielders Jordan Ballard and Cory Spangenberg also had banner years under Hadra's tutelage. Ballard hit 18 home runs, claimed the career VMI record in that category (41) and was a 33rd-round draft pick of the Colorado Rockies. Spangenberg earned three Freshman All-American honors, was the Big South Freshman of the Year and ranked in the top-10 in the conference in seven different categories. Hadra, who spent the 2009 season at Bradley, brought five years of coaching experience back to Lexington. Upon his graduation, Hadra coached with VMI in 2005 before working three years at Western Kentucky under VMI graduate Chris Finwood, where he helped the Hilltoppers to a berth in the 2008 NCAA Regionals after capturing the Sun Belt Conference Tournament. At Bradley, Hadra worked to bring in a freshman class of 16 that was named one of the top recruiting classes in the nation by Collegiate Baseball. Included in the haul were a pair of Junior College All-Americans, a High School All-American and three players that were drafted by MLB clubs. Under Hadra’s tutelage, Bradley center fielder Nick Mitidiero earned All-Conference accolades. Prior to his stint in Peoria, Hadra worked for three seasons at WKU. During that time, he oversaw outfield instruction, base running and bunting while coaching first base. In 2008, the Hilltoppers were picked seventh in the league’s preseason poll, yet made just the third NCAA Tournament appearance in program history after capturing the conference tournament championship. Also that season, the WKU defense ranked third in the nation with a .976 team fielding percentage. In Hadra’s second season in Bowling Green, the Hilltoppers went 15-15 in Sun Belt play, recording a conference-record 10-game improvement from their league mark in 2006. Before joining Finwood’s staff in 2005, Hadra spent one season as an assistant coach at VMI. That season, the Keydets broke the school record for wins and knocked off a ranked opponent for the second straight year (#21 Coastal Carolina, 3-2), as Hadra worked with outfielders and assisted instruction in base running, bunting and positional defense. As a cadet, Hadra was a four-year letterman who graduated with a degree in Economics and Business. Hadra served as team captain his senior year and helped the Keydets break the school record for wins during his junior season. His sophomore season, meanwhile, saw VMI finish with a 16-14 mark in the Southern Conference, breaking the program standard for most conference wins. Hadra is married to the former Allison Toth, and the couple recently had their first child, Colton, in January 2010. Ikenberry on Hadra- “I’m very excited to have the opportunity to bring Jonathan back to VMI. His passion for VMI and VMI Baseball shows up on the field daily when interacting with our players. He brings a great defensive mind to our infielders, and understands the kind of offense that we need to play to be successful.”

Assistant Coach Daniel Latham

First Season Tulane ‘07

aniel Latham, former assistant coach at High Point and 15th-round draft pick of the Minnesota Twins, has been named the new assistant coach for VMI baseball. Latham’s primary responsibilities will be developing and mentoring the Keydet pitchers. Latham comes to VMI from Big South rival High Point, where he primarily worked with the pitching staff. He was also responsible for the Panthers’ baseball camps, as well as other areas of the program, including travel and academics. Latham came to High Point after playing one year in the Minnesota Twins organization, which he was drafted by following a standout career at Tulane. Latham, who worked out of the bullpen while at Tulane, ranks as the all-time leader in saves in Conference USA (43).That total is also a Tulane record, while his 122 appearances (121 in relief) rank second. Among NCAA career leaders, Latham still ranks sixth in saves, ninth in relief appearances and 15th in overall appearances. Perhaps Latham’s strongest collegiate season was 2005, when he helped Tulane reach the College World Series as a sophomore.The new VMI assistant notched four saves and a win in postseason play that year, and would go on to be named team MVP for the Hyannis Mets in the well-known Cape Cod League that summer. He would return to the Cape the following season and earn All-Star honors, before being tabbed by the Twins in the 15th round in 2007. Latham received his bachelor’s degree in communications from Tulane in 2007, and is a native of Covington, La. Ikenberry on Latham - “I am very excited to add Daniel to our staff. He played at a high level of college baseball at Tulane, and comes from a great mentor in Craig Cozart at High Point. I believe that Daniel will bring a lot of energy, passion and knowledge to our pitching staff.”

The newest addition to the Keydet staff, Moore was employed in the business world at Lewis-Gale Hospital in Salem,Va., acting as an assistant to a Physical Therapist. He has also worked in a similar position in Blacksburg,Va., during his undergraduate career. Ikenberry on Moore- “I am excited to have Nachion on staff, he has a passion to coach and will be a great addition to our program. He has coached the last two summers, and brings great energy to the field every day.”

Diamond Club Keydet Baseball Fans: The Diamond Club's mission has always been to help support the baseball program in areas that are deemed critical needs. Last year, our 200 Diamond Club members helped raise almost $10,000 to support the transition of the baseball staff offices being moved down to the baseball field in the old welding shop. This transition is currently in the works, and we hope to have it completed very soon thanks to your help! This year the idea of budget cuts are staring us right in the face, and we need to ensure that we can weather this economic storm and keep our program at the level it is now! We continue to strive to make our program one of the best in Virginia and the Big South Conference, and it is critical we provide adequate funding for our team! Last season we had great success with the Diamond Club weekends and post game cookouts. This season we want to continue putting on post-game cook-outs with the team and their families (see application for cook-out dates). As in years past, we will let everyone know of any impromptu pregame functions. Last year the Diamond Club and the Keydet Club held a pregame event before the UVA game, and what a great time it was to enjoy both the pregame event and our program's win over #1 UVA at home! The team cook-outs are a great way to get to know today's players and see old faces of the baseball program at the same time. All members of the Diamond Club this year will receive the weekly game notes and one, free game ticket to one of the three games that include post-game cookouts. As a charter member, your membership cost is still only $50; for new members, it will be $75 this year. Thank you again for all of your generosity, let's help to continue and support our successful program, and I hope to see you at Gray-Minor Stadium over the next few months! Let's Go Keydets! Paul B.

Season Preview

T

he VMI baseball program is about to begin a campaign that could signal a shift in the team’s dynamic. For the first several years under head coach Marlin Ikenberry, the Keydets were known for their pitching. Names like Travis Smink, Michael Bowman and Trey Barham, all now in the professional ranks, led the way. In 2010, however, while the pitching remained solid, the offense exploded to break nine school records and push the team to its highest national ranking ever, 26th. Unfortunately for VMI, three starters, including Jordan Ballard, the program’s career home run leader, and Tanner Biagini, the longtime third baseman, will not return in 2011. With those losses, the team now appears to shift back to a pitching-oriented squad, led by an all-upperclass weekend rotation and a hard-throwing back end of the bullpen.The Keydets return 15 pitchers and 31 of their 33 wins from the 2010 squad, and lose just one, all while adding a solid supporting cast that includes lefties Campbell Henkel, Joey Zarella and Connor Bach, as well as righthander Rian Ellis.This could set the stage for many well-pitched games at GrayMinor Stadium this season, where the Keydets will host 26 regular season games, as well as the Big South Championship (May 2428). “With the new standards for bats in collegiate baseball, I think there will be more of a focus on pitching and defense,” said VMI head coach Marlin Ikenberry. “This benefits us, as we return nearly our entire pitching staff from last season. Having Adam Lopez, Jason Farley and Sam Roberts back on our staff, along with mixing in Jeremy Brown, Catcher Alex Haitsuka hit .348 last season and hit Coby Cowgill and for the cycle against Longwood. Campbell Henkel as possible starters, is exciting for us. It’s good to have that much rotation depth, and we have the same situation in the bullpen.We’ve got Alan Watts, John Garrett and Michael Devine at the back end of the ballgame, along with strong middle relief, which will help us shorten the game.We have a chance to get a lot of guys innings early. Going into the season, pitching is the name of the game, and we have a lot of depth in that area.We expect that will help us be extremely competitive.”

Catcher The Keydets return Alex Haitsuka as their primary backstop for 2011. Haitsuka caught 48 games last season, and was named Second Team All-Big South on the strength of his best career campaign, a season that saw him hit .348 with seven home runs. He also drastically improved his defense during his junior season. “We expect big things out of Alex this year,” said Coach Ikenberry. “Behind him, Andrew Montague and Justin Topping will be pushing for time.The big thing for Justin is to stay healthy, as we’ll be looking to him to help fill a DH role as well. Matt Winn, a freshman, has the ability to see innings behind the plate, as he’s an excellent defensive catcher.” Backing Haitsuka up will be the aforementioned Topping and Montague, while all three could rotate in and out of the designated hitter role. Both Topping and Montague have seen time at catcher throughout their careers, with the veteran Topping going into his senior season and the youngster Montague coming off a strong freshman season.The sophomore hit .389 in 20 games last year, including posting hits in all three games of the Big South Championships.Topping struggled with injuries, hitting just .257, but will be looking to get back to his 2008 (.298 BA) levels in his final collegiate campaign. Winn, a freshman out of Richmond, will provide depth at the position.

Infield The Keydet infield will have questions to answer in 2011, as the team loses three of its top players, including Jordan Ballard and Tanner Biagini to the professional ranks. None of those questions, however, will come from the shortstop position, where Sam Roberts is the infield’s lone returning, full-time starter from a year ago.The senior was named to the Brooks Wallace Award Watch List last season, an honor given to the country’s top shortstop, and thanks to his standing as the

20

2011 VMI BASEBALL

Keydets’ #3 starting pitcher, was also tabbed to the first John Olerud Award Watch List, given to the country’s top two-way player. Roberts had hits in 15 of the season’s first 16 games, en route to a .336 batting average and becoming only the second Keydet ever to have 50 RBI and 50 runs scored in the same season. He has also started over 150 consecutive games at five different positions, as he has not missed a game since the 2008 season. “Sam is the catalyst of our program,” offered Coach Ikenberry. “We’ve asked him to do a lot over the years, as Senior Sam Roberts became just the second he’s moved from right field Keydet ever to have 50 RBIs and score 50 runs in to shortstop, and from closer a single season in 2010. to the weekend rotation on the mound.Without question, he’s one of the best players to come through VMI. The only question for him this season is if he’ll be in the weekend rotation or pitching mid-week games, which depends on how our other starters do. Obviously, that will evolve as the season goes on.” Currently slated to start alongside Roberts is junior George Piccirilli. Piccirilli showed flashes of potential last season, his first full year after moving out from behind the plate.The junior hit his first career home run Feb. 28 versus Lafayette, and also had two RBI in the first game of that series as well. He will be pressed by Justin Hess, who returns to the team after a two-year absence. Hess was the squad’s regular center fielder in 2008, when he posted a 5 for 5 game against Maryland-Eastern Shore and hit .277 overall. In 2011, Chase Worthington will become the full-time starter at the hot corner.Worthington stepped in last season, following a Biagini injury, and hit .367 in 38 games (25 starts).Those numbers included an on-base percentage of .420 and a 12-game hitting streak late in the season. Across the diamond, Berkley Hawkins will begin the year as the regular first baseman. Hawkins, a freshman out of Richmond, distinguished himself during the fall season and will have the first chance to replace Ballard.The new Keydet first baseman comes to VMI as his high school’s all-time home run leader, single-season home run leader and single-season RBI leader. Fellow freshman and two-way player Connor Bach, a solid left-handed hitter, will also see time. “In addition to playing Berkeley at first base, we’ll also be playing Alex there occasionally early in the year, as well as Connor,” said Coach Ikenberry. “It will allow Alex to get rest from being behind the plate, as well as allow us to do things with our lineup that we haven’t been able to do in the past.” Finally, freshmen Chris Russo, Cody Holder and Jordan Tarsovich will provide depth all over the infield. “The biggest question mark on our infield is finding our everyday second baseman,” said Coach Ikenberry. “George had a great fall for us, but we do have depth there. Chris and Jordan will also be in the mix. One of our luxuries is Justin, a former starting outfielder who can also play infielder, and we’ll use him in multiple roles to Outfielder Graham Sullivan hit .357 with 10 give us options as the season home runs in 2010, earning Second Team Allgoes on. Cody Holder, another Big South honors.

Season Preview freshman, is our best defensive infielder and will be used in different roles, including at shortstop when Sam moves to the mound. Chase had a great year last year, a solid fall, and will be our everyday third baseman.”

Outfield In contrast to the infield, the Keydet outfield returns all three starters from a season ago. Graham Sullivan will lead the way after a career year in 2010, a season that saw him hit .358 with 10 home runs. Sullivan also drove in 55 runs, as he started every game en route to Second Team All-Conference honors, just one season after being moved to left field. He will return to that position this year, and will play alongside sophomore Rob Dickinson. Dickinson, who was originally expected to be a platoon player as a freshman, was one of the Keydets’ biggest surprises last year. He hit a robust .333 with 19 extra base hits, and struck out just 19 times in 165 at-bats. Dickinson served notice of his talent quickly, posting nine hits in his first six career games, including a pair of home runs. He also hit home runs against Virginia and Virginia Tech, and had his first career four-hit game late in the year against Presbyterian College. “We return all three starting outfielders in 2011,” said Coach Ikenberry. “Graham proved he was a legitimate outJunior Adam Lopez returns as VMI’s Friday fielder last year, and Rob is our best defensive outfielder.They’ll starter. be mainstays in left and center field, while Jacob Morley should be in right field every day. Freshman Eric Mayers can play the corner outfield positions and will push for time as well, while again, Justin Hess and Jordan Tarsovich could see time. In fact, we consider being able to play those two players in the outfield against left-handed pitching one of the major benefits of our team’s depth. Brooks Martin also returns, and Matt “Lefty” Flora has converted to full-time outfielder and will give us a left-handed bat off the bench. He’s done a nice job this fall.We can also run Andrew Montague out to the outfield to get his bat in the lineup.” Morley is currently slotted as the starting right fielder, a year after hitting .296 in 51 games. Morley also had four home runs, in addition to his teamleading 11 sacrifice bunts, a total that tied him for fourth in the Big South.

Starting Pitching In contrast to last season, the Keydet rotation returns all three starters, led by Friday hurler Lopez. Last year, the 6-5 right-hander compiled a 5-3 mark and ranked fourth in the Big South in strikeouts with 89, which he accomplished while walking just 29. He also struck out better than a batter per inning and more than 11 per nine innings during his first full year as a starter. In the #2 slot of the VMI rotation is left-hander Farley, a former high Left-hander Jason Farley ranked eighth in the Big school All-American who came into his own last South in ERA last season (4.12). year, pitching a redshirt

sophomore. After opening the year in the bullpen, Farley moved into the rotation in early March and blossomed, finishing eighth in the Big South in ERA (4.12). Rounding out the Keydet weekend starters will be Roberts. Roberts showed flashes of dominance last season, including a run of four starts out of five (Mar. 7 - April 3) when he pitched at least seven innings and gave up no more than two runs.VMI does, however, have the ability to move their senior leader to a midweek role, thanks to the presence of Brown, Cowgill and Henkel. “Being able to keep Sam at shortstop would be important, and Coby’s looked good this fall,” offered Coach Ikenberry. “We would much rather be able to pitch Sam in the middle of the week, so that he could focus on shortstop duties during weekend series. He’s one of the best utility players in college baseball, and we’re going to utilize him to the best of his ability to help us be successful. “ For midweek games, the Keydets will turn first to junior Brown. Brown was the starting pitcher, and winner, in VMI’s 12-3 win over #1 Virginia last season, while Cowgill pitched a complete game at The Citadel in mid-March. Also available for midweek games will be right-hander Thomas, who was solid last year in limited action. Freshman Henkel, a highly touted recruit out of St. Christopher’s in Richmond, is a lefty who threw a perfect game and a no-hitter within 10 days of each other in last season’s state playoffs.

Relief Pitching The bullpen may very well be the strength of the 2011 Keydets, as the unit returns the majority of its key cogs. Devine will lead the way for VMI once again, a year after he ranked third in the Big South with seven saves. Devine is complemented by fellow right-handers Garrett and Closer Michael Devine leads a formidable trio at Watts. Garrett held oppothe back end of the VMI bullpen. nents to a .215 average last season, while Watts showed greatly improved command this fall and could fit well into the seventh inning role. Having these three hurlers at the back end of the bullpen could effectively shorten games for the Keydets in 2011. “We’re very excited about the back end of our bullpen,” said Coach Ikenberry. “With three potentially dominant pitchers, we can shorten games and really play to our strengths as a team.We also have depth in middle relief, with youngsters like Travis Thomas and veterans like Adam Kruithof. Andrew Deal and Karter Rivera will still be in the mix, as will many of our candidates for midweek starts.” From the right side, VMI boasts additional depth, as Ryan Barefoot returns and freshman Rian Ellis joins the program. Of the right-handed corps,Thomas was notably solid last season, despite his 6.94 ERA.When the two worst outings of Thomas’ 2010 are taken out of the equation, that ERA falls to 4.12, a strong figure for a collegiate freshman. From the left side, freshman Henkel could play a significant role. He will be joined by junior Karter Rivera and freshman Bach, while Joey Zarella could also see time.

Since its founding in 1983, the Big South Conference has matured into a competitive leader in college athletics, actively pursuing excellence on the field of play and in the classroom.The League’s growing presence as an NCAA Division I athletic conference is evident by athletic accomplishments on the national stage, innovative marketing and media partnerships, increased television packages, and quality athletic competition while intentionally fostering the academic, personal, social, athletic and leadership development of each student-athlete.This has evolved into the Conference’s mission of “Developing Leaders Through Athletics.” The Big South Conference was formed on August 21, 1983, when Charleston Southern (then Baptist College) Athletic Director Howard Bagwell and Augusta President George Christenberry began recruiting members into the Big South, receiving initial commitments from Augusta, Charleston Southern, Campbell, Coastal Carolina and Winthrop. One month later, Dr. Edward M. Singleton was selected as the League’s first Commissioner and continued to solicit new members. His efforts led to the additions of Armstrong State, Radford and UNC Asheville, giving the Big South more than the required six members to constitute an official conference. The Big South’s first year of competition was in the Fall of 1984, and in September 1986, the Big South Conference was granted full-fledged NCAA Division I status. During its infancy and prior to securing automatic bids to NCAA Championships, the Big South made early strides in earning at-large berths in several national postseason events, including volleyball, women’s basketball and women’s golf. In 1989, George F. “Buddy” Sasser replaced the retiring Dr. Singleton as Commissioner, and in 1990, the League received its first automatic bid -- receiving an automaticqualifier to the NCAA Baseball Championship. Under Sasser’s seven years of leadership, the Conference implemented its public relations and compliance programs, and introduced its first-ever men’s basketball television package, featuring the Big South competing among some of the fi nest teams in the nation. In August 1996, Kyle B. Kallander replaced Sasser as the League’s third Commissioner, and in his 14 years at the helm of the Big South, Kallander has been instrumental in aggressively promoting the Conference to new heights.The Conference has enjoyed record levels in marketing revenue during the past several years, he has

brought television coverage to Big South women’s basketball, baseball and softball for the first time in Conference history, as well as increased national television exposure to the League as a whole through aggressive and unique television packages. Under Kallander’s leadership, the Big South developed and initiated its first long-range strategic plan, re-affirming the League’s vision as a distinctive athletic Conference committed to the quality of institutional life through athletic competition. He also spearheaded the efforts to add football as a championship sport, which came to fruition in 2002, and has solidified Conference membership with the additions of High Point, Gardner-Webb and Presbyterian College, and in 2011-12, the return of charter member Campbell University.

Kallander’s long range vision has also included technological advancements, as the Conference introduced its first live event video streaming in 2005 and has since expanded its video offerings to more than 700 events annually through a partnership with the member institutions, as well as the creation of several online and social media platforms. In the last 15 years alone, the Big South Conference has experienced monumental growth and success in nearly every sport. During this time, the Conference has had four individual National Champions, more than 220 All-Americans, has reached the “Sweet 16” in men’s soccer, women’s basketball and baseball, has received national Top 25 rankings in football, men’s soccer, men’s basketball, women’s basketball, baseball, men’s outdoor track & fi eld, and men’s golf, had an individual selected to play in the NCAA Singles Championship five times in addition to the first men’s tennis doubles at-large selection, had the No. 1-ranked men’s golfer in the country, has had the nation’s top scoring men’s basketball team four consecutive years as well as the national men’s basketball scoring leader twice, received an at-large playoff berth in the Football Championship Subdivision in 2006, has had four NFL Draft picks, has had seven Olympians, had its first NBA player since the mid-90s, and had an institution finish fifth in the NCAA Men’s Golf Championships -- the

Conference’s highest-ever team finish in an NCAA event. In 2006-07, the Big South was the only Conference nationwide to have an at-largeparticipant in the football playoffs (Coastal Carolina), a team in the Second Round of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament (Winthrop) and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Baseball Regionals (Coastal Carolina). In fact, Coastal Carolina’s baseball program has been a No. 1 seed four out of the last six years -- including a national seed for the first time in 2010, while the Chanticleers’ FCS playoff berth in 2006 came in just the fifth year of the Big South’s football existence. The 2009-10 season saw Liberty’s Sam Chelanga win two NCAA National Championships (Cross Country, Outdoor Track 10,000-meter run), Coastal Carolina’s baseball team reached the Super Regionals for the second time in three years as well as being ranked No. 1 in the national RPI and as high as No. 3 in the national polls; and three women’s basketball teams reach the postseason for the first time in Conference history.Two former Big South studentathletes also reached national prominence last year. VMI’s Reggie Williams reached the NBA with the Golden State Warriors, and Coastal Carolina’s Dustin Johnson captured his third PGA Tour win during his third year on the tour.The Conference’s tagline, “Developing Leaders Through Athletics” was unveiled in 2008-09 in conjunction with the Conference’s 25th Anniversary.The League also honored its heritage by unveiling the Top 25 “Best of the Best” moments in League history from 1983-2008, with Liberty University’s 10-year women’s basketball championship run from 19962007 being crowned the No. 1 moment in the Big South’s first 25 years.The Conference’s on-field accomplishments have been duplicated in the classroom. Annually, more than 40 percent of Conference student-athletes are named to the Big South’s Presidential Honor Roll for maintaining a cumulative 3.0 gradepoint average, and the League has had more than 95 Academic All- Americans in its 26 years of existence.

Noting The Keydets All-Conference Keydets: Four Keydets, including returners Alex Haitsuka and Graham Sullivan, earned AllConference honors following the 2010 season. Senior first baseman Jordan Ballard was VMI's lone First Team All-Conference honoree, marking the sixth straight season the Keydets have had an infielder named to the First Team. Haitsuka, Sullivan and Cory Spangenberg were named to the league’s Second Team, while Haitsuka was also named to the All-Academic Team and Spangenberg was the Freshman of the Year. Ballard (Troy, Va.) earned First Team AllConference honors after ranking second on the circuit with 18 home runs and a .635 slugging percentage. VMI's career leader with 41 home runs, Ballard also ranks among the top 10 career sluggers in Big South history with that total. In league play in 2010, Ballard accounted for 32 RBIs in 27 contests, hitting 10 home runs with 70 total bases. He is VMI's first First Team selection at first base since Marshall Simpson did so in the SoCon in 1990. Haitsuka's (Alexandria, Va.) Second Team selection comes after the junior hit a career-high .348 with seven doubles, seven home runs and 29 RBIs. He becomes the first Keydet catcher to earn All-Conference accolades since VMI joined the Big South. Sullivan (Manassas, Va.) enjoyed a standout season for the Keydets in 2010, hitting .357 with 19 doubles, 10 home runs and 55 RBIs. Another Keydet that started each contest, Sullivan ranked among the top 10 in the league in total bases, RBIs, slugging percentage, doubles and home runs. He enjoyed a 27-game stretch during which he hit .424 with 12 doubles, eight home runs and 43 RBIs, and had game-winning hits against High Point, Lafayette, UNC Asheville and

JMU. His selection marks the first time that VMI has had an All-Conference outfielder since Ryan Glynn earned First Team honors in the SoCon in 1995. The Keydets' haul of four All-Conference players is the most since VMI joined the Big South, and the most VMI has had in a single season since claiming four honorees in the SoCon in 2000.

Keydets Assault Record Books: There is little doubt that 2010 will be regarded as the best offensive season in VMI’s baseball history. The team shattered most of the offensive standards en route to one of its most successful seasons on record. The team set new school records for batting average (.325), slugging percentage (.529), hits (629), runs (414), doubles (133), home runs (78), RBIs (390), at bats (1933) and total bases (1022). As far as percentages go, this year’s .328 batting average and .536 slugging percentage would each top the charts. On the mound, the staff’s 441 strikeouts were tied for the most in school history, while the team’s 8.26 strikeouts per nine innings rate is the third-best. In addition, the 11 saves the team posted is tied for fourth on the list and the 3.46 walks per nine innings rate comes in seventh. Finally, the team’s ERA (5.43) ranks ninth in the Alumnium Bat Era. The team also fielded at a .963 clip, a number that ranks as the third-best in program history.

Roberts Named to Olerud Award Watch List:

Just days after being selected as one of 25 quarterfinalists for the Brooks Wallace Award, presented annually to the nation’s top shortstop, junior Sam Roberts was named one of 25 players on the inaugural John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Award Watch List. Roberts (Prince George, Va./Prince George) did it all for the Keydets as a junior, starting every game either on the mound, in the field at shortAlex Haitsuka was named both Second Team All-Big South and Big South stop, or at desig-

nated hitter. Roberts tied for the team lead with six wins as a weekend starter while hitting .336 with 16 doubles, nine home runs and 52 RBIs. Roberts was the only player on the 25-man list to also be named a Quarterfinalist for the Wallace Award and was one of just two Big South players on the Olerud Award Watch List, joining Coastal Carolina’s Josh Conway.

Haitsuka Named to Johnny Bench Award Watch List: Junior Alex Haitsuka was one of four additions to the watch list for the 2010 Coleman Company-Johnny Bench Award delivered by Papa John’s Pizza, as announced by the Greater Wichita Area Sports Commission. Haitsuka (Alexandria, Va./T.C. Williams) started 45 games behind the plate as a junior for VMI, hitting a career-best .348. Haitsuka had three four-hit games in 2010, including a performance against Longwood when he hit for the cycle in just four at bats and scored four times. The Johnny Bench Award was created in 2000 to honor the nation’s top collegiate catcher based on athletic ability, sportsmanship, team leadership and character. His selection marked the second time a VMI player had been named to the Johnny Bench Award Watch List, joining Mike Roberts, who was so honored in 2008.

Ballard Passes Weddle for Career HR Lead: With a home run in game one against Liberty on April 16, senior Jordan Ballard passed Greg Weddle ‘86 for the most career home runs in school history. The senior slugger ended his career with 41 home runs, which is also tied for the eighthmost in Big South history. Earlier in the year, Ballard had a stretch with base hits in 24 of 25 contests. During that run, he hit .411 with 11 doubles, 11 home runs, 38 RBIs and an .822 slugging percentage. In addition, he had a career-best 15-game hitting streak end April 20, as he hit .413 with 21 RBIs, six doubles and six home runs on the streak. Ballard ended the regular season tied for the league lead in home runs (18), and ended the year ranked among the top 10 with 58 RBIs (T-4th), a .626 slugging percentage (5th) and 134 total bases (T-6th). The Troy, Va. native ranks second in career slugging percentage (.569), third in career total bases (374), fourth in RBIs (148) and fielding percentage (.986), sixth in career doubles (43) and hits (208) and ninth in career runs (133) at VMI.

Noting The Keydets Ikenberry Hits Top Five In Big South: With VMI’s 2-1 win over Asheville on April 3, Marlin Ikenberry scored his 184th career victory, moving him into fifth place on the all-time Big South Coaching Wins list. Already the career wins leader at VMI, Ikenberry is currently 194-189 and is one of just two coaches with at least five seasons coached at VMI to post a winning percentage over .500, currently at .507. He needs 35 more victories to surpass Radford’s Lew Kent for fourth on the Big South chart and 87 to take over third from Coastal’s John Vrooman.

Roberts Listed as Quarterfinalist for Brooks Wallace Award: Junior Sam Roberts made the short list for the Brooks Wallace Award, presented annually to the nation’s top shortstop. Roberts was listed as one of 25 quarterfinalists for the award, becoming the first Keydet to be so honored. Roberts enjoyed a career year for the Keydets as a junior, posting 14 doubles, 11 home runs, 56 runs scored and 52 RBIs from the leadoff spot. Those last two stats placed him as only the second player in program history to join the 50-50 club, along with Robert Crumpler ‘07. With an impressive showing at the Big South Championship, Roberts hit .336 with a career-high .448 on-base percentage, thanks in large part to his 43 walks, the second-most in the Big South. He ranked second on the team with nine stolen bases and had 21 multiple-hit games and 13 outings with multiple runs driven in in 2010. He reached base safely in 51 of VMI’s 55 games in 2010 and has now started 149 consecutive games, which ranks among the 25 longest streaks in the country. During the stretch, he has made starts at shortstop, pitcher, right field, center field and designated hitter.

in a game, surpassing the seven-run total just twice. It should be noted that the Keydets’ opponents during that stretch included some of the hottest clubs in the country, including NCAA Tournament participants Coastal Carolina, Virginia Tech and VCU, as well as a Liberty squad that just missed out on an at-large berth into the tournament.

Getting Started: A key to VMI’s success in 2010 was the performance of the team’s starting pitchers. In the team’s 33 wins, the starting staff had 18 wins, totaling a 3.60 ERA with opponents hitting just .262. In addition, the starters lasted an average of 5.1 innings, striking out 150 while walking just 56 in 172.1 innings. The starters also took 17 of the 22 losses, posting a 9.49 ERA with opponents hitting .360 in those games. In those 86.1 innings, the staff struck out 73 and walked 46, lasting less than four innings per start. Jason Farley led the way with a 4.59 ERA in his 12 starts, during which he made six quality starts, consisting of at least six innings pitched with no more than three earned runs allowed. He also averaged nearly six innings per start. Adam Lopez followed with a 5.25 ERA in his 14 starts, while Sam Roberts rounded out the staff with a 5.59 ERA in his 14 starts.

Keydets Top Cavaliers Before Record Crowd at Gray-Minor: The top five hitters in the lineup went 10 for 21 with 10 RBIs as No. 26 VMI defeated No. 1 Virginia, 12-3, in front of a record crowd of 1,463 fans at Gray-Minor Stadium Wednesday, April 14. The win was VMI's first-ever over a top-ranked opponent, while the loss for Virginia was the team’s first mid-week setback in 10 games in 2010.

Runs Hard to Come By: While the Keydets had no problem scoring runs in bunches early in 2010, the going was tough offensively down the stretch. After averaging 9.32 runs per game and hitting .355 during the team’s 29-5 start, the Keydets averaged 4.00 runs per game and hit .253 during the team’s 11-game losing streak in late April. Over the first 34 games of the year, the team scored in double digits 15 times and scored at least seven runs on 24 occasions. In those 11 losses, VMI did not score more than nine runs

In a showdown pitting two nationallyranked teams for the first-time ever at VMI, the Keydets responded each time that Virginia cracked the scoreboard. The Cavs jumped on top with a run in the first, but VMI answered with three in the bottom of the inning to take the lead for good. Virginia cut the deficit to 3-2 in the fourth, but VMI posted two in the bottom-half to maintain the advantage. In the sixth, a John Barr home run capped the visitors' scoring, before VMI sent 10 men to the plate in a six-run sixth to put the game out of reach. Sam Roberts led an offensive attack that battered the Cavaliers' pitching staff for the most runs it had allowed all season. From the leadoff spot, Roberts went 2 for 3 with four RBIs, thanks to a two-run home in the fourth and a two-run single in the sixth. Jordan Ballard drove in three, while Graham Sullivan and Tanner Biagini each had a pair of knocks, including an RBI double in the sixth. The game marked the first time Virginia had played at Gray-Minor Stadium since falling, 5-2, to VMI on April 3, 2007. That game held program record's as the highest-ranked team the program had defeated (#3) and the largest crowd in facility history (1,265) until both marks were broken with the win. The loss was Virginia's worst setback since falling 10-0 to Miami on April 27, 2008.

Keydets Climb to 26th for Highest-Ever Ranking: VMI won twice against in-state foes and scored its second Big South road sweep in as many weekends to earn its highest-ever national ranking, as Collegiate Baseball tabbed the Keydets 26th in its weekly poll on Monday, April 12. With its series win over Gardner-Webb, VMI won each of its first eight weekend series in

2010, including six sweeps. In fact, VMI went 23-2 in its first eight weekends, suffering onerun losses to High Point (15-14) and Charleston Southern (1-0) in conference play. In addition, the Keydets received 22 votes in the April 12 ESPN/USA Today Coaches’ Poll, besting its previous week’s total of eight that ranked as the most the program had ever received. The 22 votes tied VMI with North Carolina for the 31st-highest total in the poll. By comparison, UC Irvine totaled 40 votes to claim 25th in the poll.

Down Late? No Problem!: VMI rallied for five wins in 2010 when they did not have a lead going into the ninth inning. Those wins came against Lafayette (2/28), Maryland (3/2), The Citadel (3/16), High Point (3/19) and UNC Asheville (4/3). The Keydets also rallied in their final at bat against La Salle (3/13), when Cory Spangenberg hit a walk-off home run in the seventh inning.

VMI Sweeps The Citadel In Charleston: VMI and The Citadel is a rivalry that has existed across several sports for decades, but the two sides had not met on the diamond since 2003 until 2010. In the two-game series played in Charleston, VMI won two very different ballgames in claiming 4-3 and 12-1 victories. Along with a 2-1 win over the Bulldogs in the 2003 SoCon Tournament, VMI has now won three in a row in the series for the first time since the 1989 campaign.

Noting The Keydets Coby Cowgill on March 17, as the right-hander hurled VMI’s first complete game in nearly a year, beating The Citadel, 12-1. Cowgill (Norfolk, Va./Maury) fell behind 1-0 in the first inning on an unearned run, but never allowed multiple base runners in an inning again. He retired 15 of 17 batters at one point and struck out nine batters for the second time in 2010. Cowgill threw VMI's first complete game since Chris Henderson did so against UNC Asheville March 21, 2009.

Ballard’s Week Earns National Acclaim: VMI senior Jordan Ballard (Troy, Va./Monticello), enjoyed the most impressive week of his career in early March, slugging six home runs in five games to become VMI’s firstever Louisville Slugger National Player of the Week. The first baseman hit .571 on the week with a .611 on-base percentage while slugging 1.929 in the five games. In addition, Ballard had 14 RBIs in 14 at bats, driving in at least four runs in three different contests. The honors kept coming for Ballard, as later in the week he also earned Big South Player of the Week, ECAC Co-Player of the Week and CollegeBaseballInsider.com Southeast Player of the Week while also being named to the College Baseball Foundation’s National All-Star Lineup.

Roberts On A Tear: Junior Sam Roberts had an impressive weekend against Maryland Eastern Shore, leaving his mark both at the plate and on the mound. Roberts was 2 for 5 with a career-high five RBIs in Friday’s win against the Hawks, before going 3 for 3 with two home runs and five RBIs again on Saturday. On Sunday, his focus shifted to the mound, as he allowed just one hit in seven innings, striking out six batters in an 8-4 win.

Keydets Continue Streak at Maryland: VMI kept its win streak rolling with an extra-inning affair at Maryland on March 2. The 7-6 win, VMI’s second by that same score in three days, pushed the Keydets to 7-0 for the first time in school history. The win was VMI’s first over an ACC opponent since knocking off Virginia Tech, 8-7, on April 30, 2008. The last time VMI defeated an ACC team on the road also came against the Hokies back on April 27, 2005 a 6-2 victory in Blacksburg. It is also believed to be VMI’s first win over the Terps since the 1948 season.

The VMI Baseball Story As the the VMI Baseball program reaches milestones never before achieved in its history, it becomes an appropriate time to survey the rich history of baseball at the Institute, a story dating back to its early days, over 140 years ago.

At the turn of the decade, two more future VMI Hall of Famers donned the Red,White and Yellow in the persons of Gilly Laughorn ‘31 and Lefty Williams ‘31. Laughorn was a slugger who led the team in home runs and earned honorable mention All-American status as a first classman, while Williams was regarded as a standout pitcher who posted two-hitters of both Cornell and VPI as a third classman. Both players were offered contracts from major league clubs, as Laughorn went on to play for three seasons in the Chicago White Sox organization. Laughorn and Williams led the teams to solid campaigns of 10-6 (1929), 11-4 (1930), and 12-6 (1931).

As the Institute continued its rebuilding efforts following its burning in the The 1885 VMI Baseball Team. Summer of 1864, cadets turned to a new sport in the Fall of 1866. An account by Hugh Walker Fry in the 1914 Bomb details the beginnings of the first documented team sport at VMI, introduced by Samuel Taylor: I remember that fall that Sam had returned to the Institute from Richmond, where he had been spending his vacation. The day after his arrival he asked me to accompany him to the Parade Ground. Once there he instructed me to stand off from him about fifty feet. I did so. Sam twirled his arm around two or three times and let fly an object at me. Instinctively I was in the act of dodging, but Sam cried, “Catch it, you clodhopper!” So I caught it. Not knowing what the missile was, I asked Sam, “What in tarnation is this thing?” Sam replied, “You stupe, it’s a baseball.” By that time a crowd of cadets gathered around, and we formed a circle. For some time we were carried away with the sport of passing the ball from one to the other. Sam Taylor had gotten a book of Spalding’s Rules, and he had been playing ball in Richmond that summer. Garland Longstreet, another cadet from New Orleans, had played ball that summer too. It was not long before we organized the first baseball team at the Virginia Military Institute. That year we played twenty-three match games: won twenty, lost one, and tied two. (p. 149) Crosstown rival Washington College (now Washington & Lee University) provided the opponent for several of those first contests, though the team did travel to Lynchburg in 1867 to play the Hill City Club, where they fell by one run. The team’s first game against the University of Virginia came in 1889, a rivalry that still continues as the teams are scheduled to play each other during the upcoming season. The schedule became broader as the years went by, as annual games against in-state opponents Randolph-Macon, Hampden-Sydney, Richmond College and VPI (Virginia Tech) became the standard. The rivalry with Washington & Lee was also kept up until the spring of 1904, when an “overenthusiastic response of spectators” caused the two schools to cease athletic relations. In the early 1900’s, three players stood out on the diamond so much so that they were inducted into the VMI Sports Hall of Fame some 60-plus years later. William Couper ‘04 holds the distinction as being both the earliest Baseball Hall of Famer, as he was also the first recipient of a VMI monogram. A first baseman and captain of the ‘04 team, Couper was inducted as part of the inaugural class of 1972, along with four other baseball players. Robert Y. Conrad ‘05 earned induction in 1974, as his play in right field and as a right tackle on the football team, earned him the honor, though it was awarded posthumously, as he was killed in combat during the Battle of the Marne in World War I. John L. Pitts ‘16 was an outstanding pitcher who received the Williamson Graham Cup for overall athletic excellence and was inducted into the VMI Sports HOF in 1975. Until the 1921-22 season, the squad played home games on the Parade Ground, just as the football team did. In that season, both teams relocated to Alumni Field, a site which the football team still uses today, while the baseball team shifted operations to Patchin Field in the early 1960’s. In that historic first game at Alumni Field in April of 1922, the Keydets hosted the University of South Carolina. VMI Hall of Fame inductee Frank M. Page, Jr. ‘23 hurled the first of his two 1922 no-hitters that day. In the game, shortstop Joseph M. Hatchett hit a majestic home run to center field on the first pitch thrown to a VMI batter at the field. Later in the inning, Edward Ryder hit another long round-tripper to the same spot, helping Page earn the 8-0 victory, the first of six consecutive wins for Page as he wound up the season with an 8-2 mark. Included in that total were a pair of two-hitters, a one-hitter, and another no-hitter, this time against VPI in the final home game of the season. Those outings accompanied a 16-strikeout performance in a 4-2 win against Roanoke College, which still didn’t match an 18strikeout game he posted in 1920. The team went 11-2 in that season, and

2011 VMI BASEBALL

1938 would become a season long remembered in VMI baseball lore. The team posted seven wins, a five-win improvement from the year before, and was regarded as one of the program’s finest sides with some outstanding individual talent. Charles “Billy” Robertson ‘38 was a noteworthy hurler who averaged over ten strikeouts per contest, while his catcher was the incomparable Paul Shu. Shu earned All-State and All-Conference recognition in football, led the basketball team in scoring, won the state javelin title in addition to his exploits on the diamond. But it was an event away from the field that brought the program a great deal of attention, though perhaps indirectly. In 1938, the movie Brother Rat was released, with future President Ronald Reagan playing Dan Crawford and Eddie Albert portraying Bing Edwards, a pair of VMI baseball players who bend the rules just weeks before graduation and must scramble to stay in school and secure their degree. It is this picture that many casual acquaintances of VMI have when referencing the Keydet baseball program. As the Institute resumed its normal operations following World War II, a pair of players stood out for their performances on the field in Claude “Red” Patton ‘50 and Oliver “Red” Williford ‘51. Patton, who was inducted into the HOF in 1975, was a unanimous All-State selection in 1950, while Williford was named All-State in four consecutive seasons, while he also won the Cincinnati Medal and the Silver Star for gallantry in action during his distinguished military career. In the mid 1950’s, the team turned in three consecutive 12-win seasons, marking the program’s best run until Charlie McGinnis’ days at the helm of the program in the early 1960’s. After going just 15-14 in his first two seasons on post, McGinnis’ nine accrued 40 wins over the next three seasons (1963-65), including a 15-9 mark in 1965 that stood as the program’s last winning season until the 2006 campaign, when Marlin Ikenberry’s troops posted a 30-25 record. When putting together any list of the top pitchers in the program’s history, certainly near the top along with Page,Williams, & Robertson would have to be the name of Percy Sensabaugh ‘64. As a third classman, Sensabaugh ranked second in the country with 106 strikeouts, a record that still stands as the program’s top mark. That, along with his 0.67 ERA, may represent the finest statistical season on record, though his second Ronald Reagan in his role as a cadet class year (1.04 ERA, 71 K, 69 IP, 5 CG) cerin the 1938 movie Brother Rat. tainly ranks a close second. Twice during the (Courtesy Warner Brothers) 1964 campaign, Sensabaugh struck out at least 20 batters, doing so against West Virginia on April 11 before sitting down 21 in an 11inning contest against The Citadel later that year. However, his playing career was cut tragically short due to an arm injury sustained while throwing the shot put, dashing any hopes of a professional career. However, Sensabaugh was not the only star player of those mid-1960’s teams. The 1963 team saw a pair of newcomers that went on to earn All-American status, as Joe Bush and Donny White each helped the team to new batting average and stolen-base records. Bush, who later earned induction into the HOF on his football credentials, was a center fielder for that team, while White, a sure-handed shortstop with wheels, earned induction in 1975. White, also an accomplished football halfback, led the team in hitting for three consecutive seasons, including a high of .391 as a third classman, while his 26 stolen bases in 1963 was the second-highest mark in the nation that season. White’s relationship with the baseball program has now spanned into its fifth decade, as he has served as player, assistant coach, head coach, and now as the Institute’s athletic director. Just four years later, the team would go on an unlikely run under the direction of Chuck Roys. After finishing the regular season with a 7-7 mark, the 1969 Keydets, under the direction of Chuck Roys, forced a one-game playoff against William & Mary to determine the Southern Conference’s Northern Division Champions. Despite falling in three of their previous four meetings with the Tribe that year, the Keydets claimed a thrilling 13-inning decision that lasted deep into the Colonial Heights night to defeat W&M 5-3 and earn a spot in the SoCon Championship Series against Furman the next day. But there was no magic left in the Keydet bats, as the team fell 7-2 and 5-4 to the Paladins, leaving their first SoCon Championship appearance empty-handed. That team was led by a standout fourth classman pitcher by the name of Vern Beitzel, who later went on to serve as head coach for four seasons. He was joined by J.C. Hanks and Timothy White, each of whom helped shoulder the offensive load. In fact,White hit over .330 for three consecutive years, while helping to almost single-handedly end VPI’s 19-year winning streak over the Keydets in VMI’s come-from-behind, 8-6 victory.

The VMI Baseball Story The coming seasons would be a struggle for the program, as they failed to win more than six games in a season until the 1982 team, when first-year head man Donny White claimed Southern Conference Coach of the Year honors for engineering a dramatic turnaround. Under his direction, the team steadily improved its win totals in the SoCon over the next six seasons while players like Phil Hubbard ‘83, Greg Weddle ‘86 and Chris Finwood ‘88 each became standouts who would later earn induction into the HOF. Hubbard, who batted.424 as a junior, still ranks as one of the top sluggers in VMI history, as his .350 career batting average is the thirdhighest total of all time. Meanwhile,Weddle’s exploits at the plate still have him as the career leader in slugging percentage (.633), while his .328 batting average and 146 RBI also rank in the top five. During those seasons, the team posted back-to-back .500 seasons for the first time since the 1962 & 1963 campaigns. In 1987,White led the Keydets to a 16-16-1 record, and more importantly, an 8-4 SoCon mark. The team finished second in the North Division that season, earning a berth into the Conference Tournament. There, after dropping their opening game to Western Carolina, the Keydets slugged their way to back-to-back wins against Davidson and Appalachian State, though they needed extra innings to dispatch the Mountaineers. The Keydets then faced off against Western Carolina in the Championship Finals, where they fell 9-4. That run saw the end of White’s VMI coaching career, as Paul Maini took over the reins and saw great success his first year, leading the team to a 20-20 mark, while Maini earned SoCon Coach of the Year honors that season. Finwood, as so many of the program’s fine players have done, would return to Lexington to head up the program just a few short years after his playing days had wrapped up. During those playing days, Finwood had helped lead VMI to a pair of Northern Division Championships (1987, 1988), while he was voted All-Southern Conference three times in his career. Just three years after his graduation, Finwood took over the program after a disastrous 2-35-1 campaign, and immediately began to right the ship. In his three years, Finwood won 52 games, the fifthmost in school history, while his eighth-seeded 1993 team went on one of the most magical rides in VMI athletic history, defeating three consecutive favored opponents to advance to the SoCon Tournament Finals, where they eventually fell to second-seeded Western Carolina. That ‘93 team also featured several individuals that would continue the VMI baseball legacy over the following years. Along with Finwood, the team also included assistant coach Tom Slater ‘90, who would serve for three seasons as VMI’s head coach, engineering a 16-14 record in the Southern Conference in 2003, before eventually moving on to take over as the head coach at Auburn prior to the 2005 season. Playing on that team were a pair of catchers that would go on to serve as assistant coaches for the Keydets in Chris Chernisky ‘94 and Marlin Ikenberry ‘95. Chernisky took over the Niagara program prior to the 2005 season, while Ikenberry is in his fourth season at the helm of the Keydet program. A freshman pitcher/outfielder on the 1993 team was Portsmouth,Va. native Ryan Glynn ‘96. A power source at the plate and a strikeout artist on the mound, Glynn’s 8.78 strikeouts per nine innings still ranks as the highest in VMI history, while his 31 home runs and 126 RBI place him among the top ten in each category as well. Impressive numbers, considering the fact that Glynn only played three seasons for the Keydets. That was because Glynn was drafted in the 4th round (94th overall) of the The 1993 VMI baseball team marched through the 1995 MLB First-Year Player Southern Conference Tournament all the way to the Draft by the Texas Rangers, the highest selecFinals before falling to Western Carolina. tion of any Keydet in the program’s history. And after four-plus seasons playing in the Rangers’ minor league system, Glynn made his major league debut on May 16, 1999 against the Baltimore Orioles. Just over a week later, Glynn started his first major league contest, doing so in Tampa Bay on May 25, 1999. In that game, Glynn pitched 4.1 innings in a Rangers’ 7-2 victory. In all, Glynn pitched in the majors in five different seasons, winning nine contests and striking out 116 batters, while he earned VMI Sports HOF induction in 2005, the most recent baseball inductee. Glynn’s final season playing for the Keydets marked the first campaign for one of VMI’s most successful coaches, Scott Gines ‘83, who compiled 104 wins over six seasons. Gines’ final season came in 1999, when the team posted a new school-record win total with a 22-27 campaign during which they also went 13-16 in the League. However, an 0-2 finish in the SoCon tournament dashed the dreams of yet another miracle tournament run. The 2000 season would see one of the greatest offensive statistical seasons in the program’s history, as Chris Catanzaro ‘01 hit .392, doing so with 76 hits, 25 of which were doubles, along with 56 runs and 46 RBI. Those numbers helped him to claim the career records which still stand today of a .356 batting average, 72 doubles, 411 total bases and 155 RBI, while his second-place total of 258 hits was only eclipsed in 2006 by the culmination of the stellar career of Kelly Sweppenhiser ‘06.Taking over in 2001 was Slater, who returned once again to the VMI program after serving for six seasons as an assistant coach at Auburn. While serving under legendary AU baseball coach Hal Baird, Slater recruited several future major leagues, including Tim Hudson, Chris Bootcheck and Gabe Gross. Despite only winning 25 games in his first two seasons at the helm, Slater laid the groundwork for some of the finest seasons in VMI baseball history in the coming years.

www.VMIKeydets.com

It got started in 2003, when Slater’s bunch went 25-27, setting yet another new record for wins in a season, while his 16-14 SoCon mark earned him Coach of the Year honors from the League. It didn’t hurt that the seventh-seeded team also won a pair of games in the SoCon tournament, defeating both third-seeded Citadel and fifthseeded Furman by 2-1 scores before being ousted by fourthseeded UNC Greensboro. The loss was a bittersweet ending to the 75-year relationship between VMI and the Southern Ryan Glynn ‘96 is the only Keydet to play in the Conference, as the Institute joined the Big South Conference major leagues, doing so for the Texas Rangers, in the Fall of 2003. Toronto Blue Jays and Oakland Athletics. And with the new Conference affiliation came a new coach. Ikenberry took the reins after serving for three seasons as an assistant under Slater. After a disappointing 2004 season that saw the team go 23-32 in its inaugural Big South campaign, Ikenberry’s boys made sure the rest of the league knew the Keydets were a force to be reckoned with in 2005, posting 27 wins and an 11-13 conference record, earning their first berth into the Big South Championship. For the fourth time in five seasons, the 2006 squad again surpassed the school record for wins in a season. But the team’s 30 wins was only half the story, as the team lost only 25 contests, marking the program’s first winning season since McGinnis’ 1965 team. The team also scored a pair of historic firsts, including a series win at Auburn to open up the season, the first time the Keydets had ever claimed a series victory against an SEC team. Then on the season’s final weekend,VMI took two of three against #16 Winthrop, marking the first series win against a ranked team in program history. That spring, the team bid farewell to undoubtedly one of the top bats to ever don red, white and yellow, as Kelly Sweppenhiser was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays, and, later that summer, became only the second Keydet to reach AAA, doing so with the Syracuse SkyChiefs in September 2006. Sweppenhiser graduated with numerous records and honors, as his 263 hits, 172 runs, 411 total bases, .457 on-base percentage helped him to become the VMI’s first Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American and first Dick Howser Award Watch Listee. The 2007 season will long stand as a watershed moment in the history of the program. GrayMinor Stadium, named after a pair of former VMI catchers in Sen. Elmon Gray ’46 and Gil Minor ‘63, was christened on Feb. 16, when the Keydets claimed a 10-2 decision over Bucknell. That would be a telling sign of things to come for VMI at Gray-Minor Stadium in ‘07, as the Keydets went 23-7 in their new home, including wins over #3 Virginia,VCU and Richmond. In addition to its new digs, the program also achieved several firsts, including their first-ever national ranking (holding the 30th spot for consecutive weeks in Collegiate Baseball’s poll), a pair of wins over top-ten teams (with a win at #10 Auburn joining the home win over #3 Virginia) and back-to-back 30-win seasons. Sophomore Michael Bowman took down a pair of school records by striking out 110 batters in 99.0 innings, on his way to Second Team AllConference accolades. Meanwhile, junior Trey Barham became the school’s career wins leader, helping pace a pitching staff that posted its lowest ERA in 33 seasons. The upward trend continued in 2008, as the Keydets not only posted their third straight winning season (29-26), but posted the team’s best conference finish since joining the Big South. At 14-7, the Keydets tied for second place in the league standings, tying the school record for conference winning percentage from the 1987 squad. The 2008 team also knocked off a ranked opponent for the fourth straight year and saw three players drafted, including Michael Bowman, who was selected in the ninth round by the Milwaukee Brewers. It marked the third-highest a VMI player had ever been taken in the Major League Baseball draft. In 2009, the program took some impressive steps forward despite battling through a difficult campaign. For the fifth-straight year, the Keydets had multiple players named All-Conference, while also claiming the program’s first Big South Championship win, upsetting fifth-seeded Gardner-Webb. The season also saw senior A.J.Yoder pound out a school-record 80 hits while moving into third place on the school’s career hits list. In addition, the Keydets opened the season at #1 North Carolina, marking the first time in program history that VMI had faced the nation’s top team. 2010 saw a victory over #1 Virginia at Gray-Minor Stadium, the first win for any VMI athletic team over a top-ranked opponent.The 2010 team blistered the ball at the plate, setting new school records for batting average (.325), slugging percentage (.529), hits (629), runs (414), doubles (133), home runs (78), RBIs (390), at bats (1933) and total bases (1022). Freshman second baseman Cory Spangenberg earned three Freshman All-American honors, in addition to being named the VaSID Rookie of the Year, while senior first baseman Jordan Ballard was drafted by the Colorado Rockies. The program will return all but three of its main cogs in 2011, including 31 of its 33 wins on the mount, looking to write the next chapter of its story. -Adapted from Col.Tom Davis’ outstanding work in The Corps Roots the Loudest.

The most ambitious capital improvements to athletic facilities in 20 years have been launched under the Vision 2039 initiative of VMI Superintendent General J.H. Binford Peay, and Athletic Director Donny White has been a guiding force in the process. Over the past several years, both the football and baseball programs have seen their facilities significantly upgraded with the additions of P.Wesley Foster, Jr. '56 Stadium and Gray-Minor Stadium.Those changes to Post will continue, with further athletic facilities included in the North Post project, scheduled for completion within the next year. White is entering his 28th year in VMI Athletics, having spent 15 seasons as a coach and the past 12 years as Athletic Director. Upon his return in 1998,White immediately went to work addressing the challenging issues facing the VMI athletic department. At the same time, he has built support for intercollegiate athletics among the VMI community and its alumni. His effort has resulted in a change in conference affiliation, increased funding for operations, the development of women's athletics, and a better overall competitive environment for VMI sports. The 2009-10 athletic season was yet another successful campaign under White’s leadership. The Keydet baseball team defeated No. 1 Virginia, 12-3, at Gray-Minor Stadium and garnered its highest-ever ranking in a national poll at 26th.The women’s cross country team netted its highest-ever finish at the Big South Championships, while the Institute also added another women’s offering in water polo. Finally, the department earned its unprecedented fifth-straight Big South Sportsmanship Award. Those successes fall in with several other notable accomplishments achieved in recent years under White. In 2008-09, the Keydet basketball program posted 24 wins, defeating Kentucky at Rupp Arena along the way, and came within just one victory of the program's fourth NCAA tournament appearance for the second time in three seasons. Also in recent years, the lacrosse and women’s soccer programs have experienced landmark postseason success, the men’s swimming & diving program won back-toback NEC titles, and participants in both track & field and wrestling have competed in NCAA Championships, including runner Donnie Cowart, who earned All-American status in the 3,000-meter steeplechase in 2008-09. White compiled a distinguished VMI coaching career in two sports spanning 15 years. He joined the football staff in 1971 and helped lead the Keydets to two Southern Conference Championships and a State Championship. White coached the defensive backs to a number one national ranking in 1975 and a number four ranking the

following season. He served as VMI co-defensive coordinator from 1976 to 1981 and had the Southern Conference's top-ranked defense in 1977. His defensive backfields led the conference in pass defense three times. White also recruited seven football players who were selected all-conference. In the fall of 1981,White became VMI head baseball coach and began to resurrect a program that had not won a Southern Conference game the three previous years. His 1982 debut squad compiled six league wins and White was named Southern Conference Co-Coach of the Year. His teams won 85 games in six years and his 1987 squad reached the Southern Conference championship game. While serving as baseball coach,White also taught on the Physical Education staff as an assistant professor. White is a 1965 graduate of VMI with a B.S. degree in civil engineering. As a cadet, he was a Distinguished Military Student, named Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities, and was awarded the VMI Intercollegiate Athletic Award for excellence.White co-captained the 1964 VMI football team and was selected All-Southern Conference in baseball for three consecutive years as a shortstop while also leading the team in batting. He was inducted into the VMI Sports Hall of Fame in 1975. After graduation from VMI,White was commissioned as a field artillery officer in the U.S. Army and served a tour of duty in Vietnam. His decorations include the Bronze Star, Purple Heart, and Air Medal with four oak leaf clusters. White and his wife, Bettie, have four children, Kyle, Katherine, Shannon and Bryan.

The upcoming season promises to be an exciting one and we will do everything we can to keep you up to date on the latest with Keydet baseball. If you have a special request or if we can be of further service to you, please contact us. INTERVIEWS: Head coach Marlin Ikenberry will be available for interviews following all home games. Players will also be available for interviews at that time. Both coach and player interviews outside of postgame situations must be coordinated through the VMI Athletic Communications office. Since cadets do not have phones in their rooms, it is virtually impossible to contact a player directly. However, we will be happy to arrange interviews with any player, usually in the afternoons before practice. PHOTOGRAPHERS: All photographers are asked to shoot from behind the fences behind home plate and down the first and third base lines. Under no circumstances will photographers be allowed into the dugouts or onto the field during a game. We ask for your cooperation in this matter. CREDENTIALS: Press and photography passes will be supplied to those media outlets covering VMI Baseball. To request credentials, contact Brad Salois (contact info at left). The passes can be mailed out if time allows, or they can be picked up at the ticket stand down the right-field line. PRESS FACILITIES: As many as eight spaces are available at each game for working members of the media in the press box, located directly behind home plate. As always, statistics and notes will be available prior to each game and a complete box score and play-by-play will be available approximately 10 minutes after the conclusion of each game. We look forward to seeing you out at Gray-Minor Stadium this season to take in an exciting time in VMI Baseball.
