The team from ASU's Publications and creative Services department is ready to roll out the imagery that they created in-house for the new visage of ASU. According to Ron Looney, di- rector, Department of Publications and Creative Services, all four of the department’s staff artists collabo- rated in the creation of the Red Wolves imagery. Initial sketches of the wolf mascot were created by art director Mark Reeves and de- signer Mary Williams. Graphic de- signer Heath Kelly developed a unique lettering style, and staff artist Michael Johnson assisted with con- ceptual suggestions and digital ma- nipulation of the art forms. The staff then combined their efforts to cre- ate the versions necessary for pro- duction of various types of university media. The Publications and Cre- ative Services team look upon the project as entirely collaborative, and as a great experience for them all.
2008 INDIAN BASEBALL 7 ASUINDIANS.COM Head Coach Keith Kessinger
Now entering his sixth season as head coach of the baseball Indians, Keith Kessinger has compiled a 131-144 record during his five seasons at ASU, including back-to-back winning seasons in 2004 and 2005 - the first time the Tribe had posted back-to-back winning records since 1996-97. In his five seasons at ASU, Kessinger has not only brought na- tional recognition to ASU baseball, earning victories over nationally- ranked opponents, but has also overseen the transformation of Tomlinson Stadium and Kell Field into a source of pride for Arkansas State. While at Arkansas State, Kessinger has coached 10 All-Sun Belt Conference performers, four ABCA All-South Region players, and two All-Americans. Additionally, two players have been named as ESPN the Magazine Academic All-Americans. Kessinger’s teams have also set or tied 16 individual or team records during his five years at ASU. Despite an overall record of 23-32 in 2007, the Indians did have the most Sun Belt Conference wins in a single season under Kessinger, winning 13 league games during the season. The Indians won league series over Florida International and Louisiana-Monroe in Jonesboro, and picked up road series wins over Western Kentucky and Arkansas-Little Rock. The Indians also de- feated Big-10 member Northwestern at the Lamar Cardinal Classic in Beaumont, Texas. Three players, pitcher T.J. Brewer, designated hitter Josh Yates and shortstop Ryan Hudgins, were named All-Sun Belt at the conclusion of the season. Brewer, Hudgins and pitcher Nathan Gates all earned Sun Belt Confer- ence Player of the Week honors during the season, with Brewer winning the award twice. Brewer and fellow senior pitcher Tim Egart were both selected in the Major League Baseball draft. Although the Indians also dipped below .500 in 2006, finishing at 22-30, ASU did post victories over nation- ally-ranked Mississippi, Southeastern Conference member Kentucky, Big 10 member Michigan State, and Memphis during the non-conference season. Additionally, the Tribe qualified for the Sun Belt Conference Tournament as it won Sun Belt series against UALR and WKU, sweeping UALR in early April. The Tribe also posted a 16-10 record in 2006 at ASU's Tomlinson Stadium, designated hitter Josh Yates was named All-America as a junior, and following the season, two Indians were selected in the Major League Baseball Draft. ASU's 33 victories in 2005 tied a record for the fourth most victories in a single season for the Indian baseball program. The Indian offense posted a record breaking performance in 2005 under Kessinger's guid- ance as it re-wrote the ASU record books in almost every offensive cat- egory. The Tribe posted single season records in batting average (.314), runs scored (429), hits (632), doubles (135), home runs (78), runs batted in (390) and total bases (1023). The Tribe posted a 19-9 record at home at Tomlinson Stadium in 2005, which marked the most home wins since 1997. The Indians also recorded a 12-12 record in Sun Belt Conference action including series wins over Arkansas-Little Rock, Western Kentucky, New Orleans and NCAA Tournament participant South Alabama. The Tribe’s .500 winning percentage in SBC play is the best winning percentage for ASU since the 1998 season. Under his tutelage the Indians also gained national and regional recognition on both the team and individual levels. The Indians re- ceived votes for the first time in program history in the National Colle- giate Baseball Writers Association Weekly Poll. The Tribe placed three players on the All-Sun Belt First Team in first baseman Geoff Desmond, second baseman Brett Kinning and shortstop Chris Rich. Desmond also picked up NCBWA All-America honors for his record-breaking season as he set four new single season offensive marks. The Indians also highlighted the Sun Belt weekly awards in 2005 as they collectively took home eight total awards. The eight total awards for the team are the most ever for a team in a single season in Sun Belt history and the most since South Alabama and Southwestern Louisiana picked up six awards each in 1999. Included in those eight awards were six Pitcher of the Week honors with lefthander Taylor Fowler taking home a single season record five weekly honors. Fowler also was named the NCBWA/Pro-Line Cap National Pitcher of the Week and the Louisville Slugger National Player of the Week during the 2005 season. The Tribe has also made great strides off of the field as well. The In-
2008 INDIAN BASEBALL 8 ASUINDIANS.COM dians picked up the Sun Belt Conference Academic Team award for the third straight season. The Tribe posted a 3.0 team G.P.A. in 2005 to take home the honor. In 2004, the Indians posted a 29-28 record marking the first winning season for ASU since 1998. The Indians picked up victories over nation- ally-ranked Ole Miss on two different occasions and posted a two- game sweep of Sun Belt foe Louisiana-Lafayette late in the season In his first season at the helm, Kessinger opened the season by leading his team to some upsets as they knocked off nationally-ranked South Alabama, beat the University of Memphis twice and defeated his alma mater Ole Miss twice. Since Kessinger's arrival on campus he has been instrumental in spear- heading improvements at Tomlinson Stadium. Improvements have been made each year since his arrival and more improvements and renovations are planned for the future. In the five years that Kessinger has been at Arkansas State, the school has seen the ASU Baseball Complex transformed. Over 200 seats have been added to Tomlinson Stadium in time for the 2008 season, all at field level. The new seating includes 26 handicap accessible seats and moves the fans in the front row more than 20 feet closer to home plate than in the past. The ASU Legacy Walk was created during the offseason to honor friends of ASU Baseball for their contributions to the program, and during the 2007 season, the Barton’s Baseball Deck was completed. The deck became increasingly popular throughout the season and includes barbeque grills and picnic tables. The ASU base- ball program has also resurfaced the infield, added a second indoor batting cage, constructed two outdoor all-weather batting cages, re- located the bullpens, improved both teams' dugouts, refurbished the team's locker room, added landscaping features throughout the facil- ity, added a batter's eye, replaced the speakers/sound system and constructed a new brick entrance into the ballpark during Kessinger’s tenure. The Indians have also seen a marked improvement in attendance at Tomlinson Stadium since Kessinger's ar- rival. The Tribe posted a single game attendance record of 742 for a game against Ole Miss in his first season. The Indi- ans also set an attendance record for a three-game series in 2006 as they drew 1,488 for a series against nationally-ranked Louisiana-Lafayette. Kessinger came to ASU after spending two seasons as head coach at Carson-Newman College, where he compiled a record of 66-47. In 2002, his team finished 39-19, reaching the NCAA South Regional. CNC won the South Atlantic Conference regular season title while Kessinger picked up coach of the year honors from the confer- ence. At Carson-Newman, he coached a school- Kessinger At A Glance record nine All-SAC players in 2002, two All-Americans and the Division II National Player of the Year.
