Page 6 COACHING STAFF Rider University Baseball Media Guide • 2012

Jaime Steward of Blackwood, a former pitcher in the Anaheim Angels organization, begins his fourth season as an assistant coach at Rider. “Jaime was an excellent addition to our staff,” said Rider head coach Barry Davis. “He has been successful at every level and has pitched for championship teams at the high school and college level.” “I am very excited to be a part of the Rider Baseball Program,” said Steward. “Coach Davis is a proven winner and I am constantly learning from him.” Steward is a 1997 graduate of Gloucester Catholic High School and a 2001 graduate of Le Moyne College. At Le Moyne Steward graduated as the career leader in strikeouts and innings pitched, and was drafted in the 39th round by the Angels. “As a former player in the MAAC, this is familiar territory for me,” Steward said. The 2001 Le Moyne Athlete of the Year, Steward was the MAAC Pitcher of the Year in 1999, after earning Jaime Steward MAAC Rookie of the Year honors in 1998. At Gloucester Catholic Steward earned All-State and honorable mention All-America honors as a senior, leading his team to a national ranking of fifth. “I have high expectations for our pitching staff as we work toward regaining the MAAC Championship,” Steward said. After two years in the Angels’ organization Steward pitched for the Camden River Sharks and the Atlantic City Surf, and was selected as the starting pitcher in the 2005 Atlantic League South Division All-Star game. “That experience brings instant credibility to our pitching program,” Davis said. “I am looking forward to working with him this year.”

A pair of 2011 graduates, Karl Johnston and Jeff Giordano, return to their alma mater to assist the Bronc coaching staff this year. Johnston played three seasons at Rider, two as a starter, and compiled 119 hits and 104 runs scored while making 105 starts in the Rider outfield.

Fazio earned First Team Skyland Delaware All-Conference honors as a shortstop and was named to the Courier News All-Area First Team as well as First Team All-Somerset County honors helping Ridge High School win the Somerset County Championship last year. Parsons earned First Team All-League and All-CNY as a senior, leading Liverpool (NY) High to the League and Sectional Champi- onships. “I feel Parsons and Fazio could develop into a ‘d.p.’ combo equal to Ralston and Albee,” Davis said. “They sure are working at it. Parson possesses above average speed and is a versatile player. He likely will bat second and will play second. Fazio, who also has above average speed, will start the season at shortstop. Troy Miller can back up both of them.” Miller was the YAIAA Division II Player of the Year as a senior at Susquehannock (PA) leading his team in batting average (.500), hits, home runs, RBI, total bases and on base percentage. A fine all-around athlete, Miller also played football (quarterback, cornerback) in high school. Sophomore Ken Kremer started 28 games behind the plate as a rookie after being a middle infielder in high school and will see most of his playing time at second or third this year. Behind the plate this season will be freshman Eric Strano, junior transfer Richie Garcia and senior Chris Pierfy. Freshman All-American Nick Crescenzo
