The 2002 college baseball season has officially begun. While most of the schools do not open play until Feb. 1, 2002, there are some that have already opened their seasons entering the final week of January. The 2002 college baseball season promises to be one of the most exciting seasons in memory. Can Miami make it three in a row at Rosenblatt Stadium? The defending champs return a number of key players and will play one of the nation's most demanding schedules. How will baseball at Alex Box Stadium differ now that legendary Skip Bertman is no longer in the first base dugout? New Tigers skipper Ray "Smoke" Laval opened practice on Saturday, Jan. 19, and is the favorite to win the SEC in a vote by the league's 12 head coaches. Can Nebraska claim its third straight 50-win season and turn Rosenblatt Stadium into another sea of red at the 2003 College World Series? Will Stanford journey back to America's heartland again this season, boasting another talented team under Mark Marquess? Who will be the eight teams to fight for the 2003 national championship in June? All of these questions will be answered over the course of the next 21 weeks as the college baseball season unfolds. It promises to be an exciting year. Off the field, there is excitement, too. There will be a trip to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum this year as the annual CoSIDA convention will be held in Rochester, N.Y.

  • The Baseball Coaching Bible Pdf
    The baseball coaching bible pdf Continue Much more than a book about skills, strategy, or exercise, the Baseball Coaching Bible is a career for the sport. Many of the game's greatest coaches ever known - including coaches of the century in high school, junior college, NAIA, and Division I, II, III, as called collegiate baseball - combine to cover all aspects of coaching. 27 contribution coaches share their keys to championship baseball, something they know well by winning 50 national titles and nearly 25,000 games. The Baseball Coaching Bible covers all aspects of coaching, with every coach addressing the issue he knows best. From head of Bobby Winkles on Instilling Noise and Ron Polk's chapter on organizing the winning program, Ed Cheff's chapter on innovative practices and head of Rod Dedeaux on creating pride and tradition, the Baseball Coaching Bible goes beyond Xs and Os. A diverse and huge amount of information book allows you to choose what you implement in your program in any particular season, but you will learn and have fun with it all. The wit and wisdom of baseball's sharpest minds shine through their memorable stories and valuable ideas. Jerry Kindall and John Winkin organized and edited the content. Coach Dave Keillos's influence is a strong and appropriate introduction. From there, the book flows logically and quickly through six sections: - Coaching Priorities and Principles with chapters from John Scolinos, Chuck Bobo Brayton, Hal Smeltzly, Bob Smith, and Winkles. - Construction and management of programs with recordings of Ken Schreiber, Marc Marquez, Ron Fraser and Polk.

    2007 Outlook INTRO THIS IS LSU PREVIEW TIGERS COACHES REVIEW HISTORY RECORDS The Paul Mainieri Era LSU Begins Since becoming LSU’s baseball coach on June 28, Paul Mainieri has learned much about the Fighting Tiger program, including its magnificent tradition, its loyal fans and its expectations of winning championships. Most importantly, Mainieri and his assistant coaches – Terry Rooney, Cliff Godwin and Blair Barbier – have spent the past several months educating themselves about the assets of the young men that comprise the 2007 LSU squad. Mainieri said that the Tigers’ four-week fall practice session in October revealed much about the team’s assets. “We found out an awful lot about our team this fall, and most of it was very good,” Mainieri said. “I don’t think we’re going to have many candidates for All-American this year, but I do think the kids are going to play hard, they’re going to play with a lot of enthusiasm, and I do think we have enough talent to win.” The ’07 Tigers feature 18 returning lettermen, including four position starters and seven pitchers that recorded innings last season. The youthful squad includes 23 freshmen and sophomores – and just four seniors - on a 37-man roster. “I do think we have enough talent to be a very competitive team this spring,” Mainieri said. “The kids have really responded to a new style of coaching, and it’s been a lot of fun watching them develop.” The 2007 Tigers Lettermen Returning/Lost: 18/14 Position Starters Returning/Lost: 4/5 Pitchers Returning/Lost: 7/7 Returning Redshirts: 2 Newcomers: 17 (11 high school players, 4 JUCO transfers, 2 four-year college transfers) By Class By State Seniors: 4 Louisiana: 25 Juniors: 10 Florida: 7 Sophomores: 11 Alabama: 2 Freshmen: 12 Mississippi: 2 Maine: 1 58 2007 LSU BASEBALL OFFICIAL YEARBOOK 2007 Outlook Position Players INTRO THIS IS LSU While pleased with the work ethic and team, is the Tigers’ projected starter at He batted .273 with two doubles, one PREVIEW energy displayed by the LSU position second base.
