2010 Cardinal 2010 Stanford Baseball

Infielder Stephen Piscotty is another talented freshman, after hitting .450 last year across the Bay in Pleasanton at Amador Valley High. Also returning is infielder Adam Gaylord, who hit .289 last year. He is slated to play third base. Veteran Jonathan Kaskow is slated to start at first after batting .242, but Marquess has the option to use Justin Ringo, Piscotty, or outfielders Kellen Kiilsgaard and Kellen McColl. The starter at first, said Marquess, will be one who is swinging the bat best. Uncharacteristic for a Stanford club, the 2009 squad batted just .279, the lowest batting average since the 1989 team hit .276. Following the free swingers of 2008, who struck out a record 481 times (in 12 extra games), the 2009 team struck out 419 times, the second most in school history. While the 2008 CWS team hit 81 home runs, last year’s squad hit just 49 and scored just 341 runs. The biggest question mark going into the season will be how the offense develops. The one positive is that they fielded at a .977 clip, a school record. Despite the frustrations at the plate, it did not carry over to the field. In the outfield, Kiilsgaard is coming off a strong summer in Alaska and a.313 sophomore season as he drove in 46 runs. The team’s largest production came from the outfield last year, which needs to be replaced; Brett Milleville (.306, 52 RBIs, 14 homers) and Joey August (.304, 36 RBIs) both graduated. Heisman Trophy runner-up Colin Walsh Toby Gerhart (.288, 36 RBIs) decided to forego his final baseball season to prepare for the NFL Draft. Jake Stewart is one of those players expected to step right in right away. Stewart, a top-100 prospect out of high school, hit .544 last year. He is probably the team’s fastest outfielder and is slated to play center. Junior David Giuliani, who has appeared in just 10 games, has been impressive in the fall and has fought his way into the lineup. Guiliani 2010 Outlook is almost as fast as Stewart, and maybe the outfielder with the best arm. McColl should also see significant time in the outfield. Another rarity for the club was its ERA, 5.12. Just three times since 1980 has the tanford Baseball, despite not making the postseason in 2009, have reason for club produced an ERA over 5.00.

One of the premier coaches in college baseball history, and a man whose name is 9 Mark synonymous with the Stanford baseball program, Mark Marquess enters his 34th year at the helm of his alma mater in 2010. Marquess Since he arrived on The Farm as a two-sport athlete in baseball and football in the fall of 1965, Marquess’ impact upon Stanford baseball is beyond measure, even by Head Coach The Clarke and Elizabeth the benchmark of his long list of on-field accomplishments. Perhaps more important Nelson Director of Baseball than any of the wins or championships his club has produced is the nature of the pro- Stanford (1969) gram he has developed, both on and off the field. In his four decades associated with 34th Season the school, Marquess has been the architect of a Stanford program that is nationally Pronunciation: MAR-kwess recognized as one of winning baseball and quality student-athletes. A member of the American Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame, Marquess opens the season as the eighth-winningest coach in NCAA Division-I baseball history – fourth among active skippers – with a career 1,356-694-7 (.664) record. Each of those “It’s great to have been able to coach as many years as I have at 1,356 victories has come on The Farm, as he has won more games than any coach my alma mater. It’s quite an honor to be able to do that, to be able in any sport ever at Stanford. to stay at one place all this time, and to be able to work with these A three-time NCAA Coach of the Year recipient and nine-time Pac-10 Coach of the student-athletes. I’m very proud of our history and the success that we’ve had on and off the field.” Year honoree, he has guided his Stanford clubs to 25 NCAA Tournament appearances, a pair of College World Series championships (1987 and 1988), six NCAA Super Regional titles, 15 NCAA Regional crowns and 12 Pac-10 regular season champion- ships. Marquess owns a career 120-55 (.686) record in postseason play, including a 72-26 (.734) mark in NCAA Regionals, a 12-4 (.750) ledger in NCAA Super Regionals and a 36-25 (.590) record at 14 College World Series. In a testament to the standard of winning baseball Marquess has created at Stanford, 32 of his 33 teams have finished at .500 or better. He has presided over 19 teams that have won at least 40 games, including six clubs that have crested the 50-win plateau. Marquess led the Cardinal to a school-record stretch of 10 consecu- tive 40-win campaigns from 1995-2004. Marquess’ clubs have advanced to postseason play in 25 of a possible 33 seasons, including a school-record 13 straight campaigns from 1994-2006. Stanford has won at least one game in 24 of its trips to the NCAA Tournament under Marquess. Marquess’ teams have played nearly .600 baseball in the Pac-10 (537-366 .598), long recognized as one of the best and toughest conferences in the country. Stanford has finished either first or second in the Pac-10 a total of 23 times (including Southern Division finishes), while capturing 12 conference championships. The Cardinal has won at least two consecutive conference titles three different times under Marquess, as Stanford captured three straight crowns in both 1983-85 and 1997-2000 before winning back-to-back championships in 2003 and 2004. Perhaps the crowning moment of Marquess’ career came when the Cardinal captured back-to-back College World Series titles in 1987 and 1988, becoming one of only four programs in the 63-year history of the CWS to have ever won at least two consecutive titles. But there was much accomplished before and much has been done since. Stanford has reached the College World Series a total of 14 times and been in the CWS final on five occasions during Marquess’ tenure, including a stretch where the Cardinal finished second three times during a school-record string of five consecutive trips to Rosenblatt Stadium from 1999-2003. The trips to Omaha were just two shy of Oklahoma State’s NCAA record run of seven in a row from 1981-87. Even more impressive, each of the 14 teams Marquess has skippered to the CWS has won at least one game. Both of Marquess’ championship clubs won the title after having their backs against the wall. His 1987 team won the first CWS crown in school history, finished the season 53-17 overall and was 21-9 in the Pac-10 Southern Division – winning the league title by five full games. But, the Cardinal had to win its final three CWS contests after a second-round loss to claim the title, defeating Oklahoma State in the championship game. Stanford completed the back-to-back feat in 1988 by winning eight postsea- son elimination games, four in each the CWS and the NCAA Northeast Regional, concluding its unbelievable run by defeating league rival Arizona State in the CWS championship. Stanford’s recent near misses for another national title began in 2000 when the Cardinal went unbeaten in its CWS bracket before dropping a 6-5 heart-breaker to LSU in the championship game. In 2001, Stanford again swept through its bracket before falling to Miami in the championship contest. Two years later, the Cardinal
