EKUSports.com 2 Turkey Hughes Field CCOLONELSOLONELS

Turkey Hughes Field Built in the 1960s and named after legendary coach Charles “Turkey” Hughes, Turkey Hughes Field has been the site of 13 EKU Ohio Valley Conference baseball championships. With its convenient and att ractive location right on campus next to Alumni Coliseum, “The Turk” is a great place to take in a college baseball game. The fi eld has dimensions of 330 ft. X 410 ft. X 340 ft. and features a bullpen area, hitt ing cages, ample bleacher space and a press box. In 2009, EKU invested over half a million dollars on Turkey Hughes Field, adding a state-of-the-art synthetic turf infi eld, a hitt er’s eye in center fi eld, nett ing and a brick wall backstop. The hitt er’s eye covers the right fi eld line all the way to the scoreboard to give Turkey Hughes Field a new backdrop. The synthetic turf covers the entire infi eld, including the base paths and home plate. The only part that remains clay is the pitcher’s mound. Last year, Nearly $100,000 worth of improvements went into extending a brick wall to enclose a beautiful, newly graded and sodded outfi eld. The renovations will revolutionize the way the EKU baseball program is able to develop its players. The synthetic turf infi eld will allow the players to practice in spite of bad weather, and far fewer games will be cancelled due to the improvement. “We are very excited about the renovations at Turkey Hughes Field,” head coach Jason Stein said. “The improvements will not only enhance the experience of our players but also the experience of our great fanbase.” The fanbase Stein to which Stein alluded plays an integral part in the team’s success as the Colonels went 19-7 at home in 2009 and 15-6 at home in 2010. Additional renovations to Turkey Hughes Field are expected to occur in the future.

Assistant Coach • Third Year at EKU Did You Know ...

... Jason Stein and Jerry Edwards were assistant coaches on the last Colonel team to win an OVC Regular Season Championship JJerryerry EdwardsEdwards in 2000?

Alma Mater: North Carolina Wesleyan, 1999

Jerry Edwards is in his third season of his second tenure as an assistant/ pitching coach at EKU. Edwards served as the pitching coach at EKU from 1999-2001 under former skipper Jim Ward, and was the interim head coach of the Colonels in between the tenures of Ward and Elvis Domin- guez. “Jerry brings 10-plus years experience as a pitching coach at the college level,” head coach Jason Stein said. “As a recruiter, he is a tireless worker, and he has many connections throughout the country.” In 2009, Edwards inherited a pitching staff that had lost nine of 14 arms from the previous season. Only two of his pitchers recorded a win in 2008 and none of them worked more than 30 innings. Edwards, however, was able to piece together a staff that year composed primarily of raw underclassmen, freshmen, and career relief pitchers, and that staff was able to produce 27 wins. One of the raw underclassmen Edwards was able to transform in 2009 was sophomore left-hander Paul Duncan. In 2008, Duncan threw just 14.2 innings and compiled an ERA of 9.20. Under Edwards’ tutelage, however, Duncan recorded a team-high seven wins last season and was one of the OVC leaders with four complete games. Then, on May 1, Duncan, pitched just the sixth no-hitt er in school history against Chicago State. Following the no-hitt er, Duncan was named a Louisville Slugger National Player of the Week by Collegiate Baseball magazine and OVC Pitcher of the Week. He was also named to that week’s College Baseball Foundation and Diamond Sports National All- Star Lineup. In 2010, Edwards developed a relatively unknown freshman right- hander out of Georgia named Anthony Bazzani. Bazzani was knocked around early in the season in starts against High Point and Southeast Source: 2000 EKU Baseball Media Guide Missouri. However, under the persistent guidance of Edwards, Bazzani transformed into one of the top pitchers in the OVC by May. He was named OVC Pitcher of the Week after he worked all nine innings, allowed program in just over two years, and 13 of those faces have been pitchers. one earned run, scatt ered seven hits and struck out six against a tough “Jerry is exceptional at fi nding talented student-athletes from across Jacksonville State lineup on May 15.

While coaching at the was named to the OVC All-Freshman Team. two-year college, Edwards saw nine of his pitchers signed by Division I Through his recruiting eff orts, Edwards has begun to replenish the schools, and two of his pitchers drafted and signed in the top 12 rounds of depth of EKU’s pitching staff . He has brought 24 new faces into to the the MLB Draft. Before Louisburg, Edwards served as the head coach at Hiwassee Col- lege in Madisonville, Tenn. While at Hiwassee, Edwards saw two of his players taken in the MLB Draft. In between his stints at EKU and Hiwassee, Edwards was an Associate Scout for three years with the Atlanta Braves under the guidance of Area Scouting Supervisor Billy Best. While serving under Ward at EKU, Edwards helped the Colonels to their most recent OVC regular season championship in 2000. Before coaching at EKU, Edwards spent two years at North Carolina Wesleyan College as an assistant coach/recruiting coordinator under current North Carolina head coach, Mike Fox. During those two years, he helped lead North Carolina Wesleyan to the 1999 Division III National Championship. Edwards began his coaching career at the Enfi eld Academy in Whitak- ers, N.C. under the tutelage of current East Carolina head coach, Billy Godwin. Edwards earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education from North Carolina Wesleyan College in 1999, and he earned a master’s degree in physical education/sports administration from EKU in 2001. He lives in Richmond with his wife Amy and their two children Jacob (10) and Claire (8).

9 EKUSports.com eekuku 2011 Outlook

Season Outlook Predicted Order of Finish Although its stated goal is to win championships, the EKU baseball program moved in the right direction in 2010 as the Colonels posted a Order of Finish Points record of 28-27, a team batt ing average above .300 for the second consecu- 1. Jacksonville State (4 fi rst-place votes) 59 tive season and qualifi ed for the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament 2. Southeast Missouri (3) 55 following a two-year hiatus. Picked by league head coaches to fi nish fi fth out of nine OVC teams in 3. Tennessee Tech (2) 54 2011, the Colonels return all but three players who saw signifi cant action 4. Eastern Illinois 36 last season and have their sights set on surprising people with a deep 5. Eastern Kentucky 33 postseason run. 6. Murray State 28 Pitching 7. Austin Peay 25 8. Morehead State 19 “Baseball begins and ends with pitching,” head coach Jason Stein said. “And, fortunately, our pitching staff was a bright spot in the fall and 9. UT Martin 10 spring.” (Per league head coaches) Plagued by graduation in 2009 and injuries in 2010, the Colonel pitching staff now looks to be as strong, quality and quantity-wise, as it has been in years. Sophomore right-hander Anthony Bazzani, who turned in a masterful performance against Jacksonville State late last season and then perplexed Murray State with a near-record breaking performance in the OVC Tournament, will likely be the opening day starter. Senior left-hander Paul Duncan and senior right-hander Stephen Hefl er both worked more than 50 innings in 2010 and will compete for weekend jobs this season, as will senior Chris Hord and junior Matt Fyff e, both of whom missed all of last year due to Tommy John surgery. Freshman southpaw Kyle McGrath, who set the single game Kentucky state tournament record with 16 strikeouts against Boone County as a senior, has thrown well in the preseason and will be in the mix for an immediate weekend job. EKU also returns experienced short and middle relievers in senior closer Ryne Purcell, who tied a program record with 12 saves in 2010 and has been named to the 2011 NCBWA Preseason Stopper of the Year Watch List, junior right-hander Matt Harris, a 2010 OVC Pitcher of the Week who led the Colonels with 42 strikeouts a year ago, junior lefty Greg Terry, who was second on the team with a 5.76 ERA in 2010, sophomore right-hander Austin Rexroat, a midweek starter who picked up wins over Purdue and Marshall last season and solid, strike zone-pounding senior right-hander Macon Smith. Senior Jim Clancy, who served as the Colonels’ closer in 2008 and once struck out six of the fi rst seven batt ers he faced in an upset over then-No. 25 Louisville, is also back after missing all of last season due to Tommy John surgery. Junior college transfer Lincoln Wagner is slated to serve as Purcell’s set-up man and could also close games in a pinch. Freshmen right-handers Blake Bott oms and Brent Cobb, meanwhile, will earn innings based on Infi eld their performances. Despite losing a pair of All-OVC middle-of-the-lineup corner infi elders in Anthony Ott rando and Jayson Langfels, the EKU infi eld returns the team’s leading hitt er from a year ago in junior shortstop Richie Rodriguez. Rodriguez batt ed .357 in 2010, started every game of the season in the leadoff position and was the fourth toughest batt er in the OVC to strike out, registering just 0.31 strikeouts per game. “Richie has exemplifi ed what an everyday shortstop can do and should, both off ensively and defensively,” Stein said. The other three infi eld positions, however, remain somewhat more fl uid. Senior Bryce Labhart has won the opening day job at fi rst base and, with his pesky att itude at the plate and .448 on-base percentage as a utility player last year, might bat leadoff . He will be pushed, though, by sophomore Alex Hughes and freshman Mitch Durbin, both of whom are big left-handed bats with power. There has been great competition at second base and the job will fall to, or spread evenly among, junior Dustin Dun- lop, sophomore Matt Phipps or freshman Alex Arovits. Freshman Bryan Soloman has shown the ability to fi eld and hit for power and is, thus, the front runner at third base; however, he is also being pushed by the trio of Dunlop, Phipps and Arovits. “Defensively, we struggled in the infi eld in the fall,” Stein said. “But that has been cleaned up of late and we’re excited to see how the new guys mature.”

Anthony Bazzani will be counted upon to give the Colonels a chance to win every time he takes the mound in 2011

EKUSports.com 10 2011 Outlook CCOLONELSOLONELS

Outfi eld The Colonels return all three starting outfi elders from a year ago, but with a twist. Senior Ryan Faidley, who played primarily in left fi eld last year, will move to center fi eld and will be counted on to provide middle- of-the-lineup power. Sophomore Austin Grisham, who played primarily in center fi eld last year but can eff ectively play all three outfi eld positions, junior Michael Garcia, who played exclusively in right fi eld last year and junior Jacob Daniel, EKU’s lone preseason All-OVC selection at designated hitt er who has started just one game in the fi eld his entire career, will compete for the remaining corner outfi eld spots. Stein noted how improved Daniel’s defense has been in the preseason and how important that is to making the outfi eld positions more competition-based. Sophomore Jeff Emerich is EKU’s most valuable outfi elder off the bench as he can cover ground and provide pinch-hitt ing. Freshman Michael Bus- chmann will be used primarily as a pinch-hitt er and a designated hitt er.

Catchers Freshman Sean Hagen enters the season as the front runner to replace the graduated Joey Stevens. Stein noted that Hagen has the potential to be a complete catcher with the ability to catch, block, hit and handle pitchers. Behind Hagen, though, the Colonels have two solid options in freshman Steve Ferraro, who saw signifi cant action in scrimmages this fall and spring, and junior A.J. Jamison, who will actually be the opening day starter at designated hitt er but has started 24 games behind the plate in his career. Junior Brian Shrimpton, who started six of seven games between March 13-20 due to injuries and tied for the team lead with three sacrifi ce Ryan Faidley will be looked to for strong defense in the outfi eld, middle-of-the- bunts last year, provides additional depth at the catcher position in 2011. lineup power and leadership

Designated Hitter Junior Jacob Daniel, who hit .292 last season with six home runs, was named Preseason All-OVC at the designated hitt er position; however, he might see more time in the outfi eld this season and will, thus, platoon with junior A.J. Jamison at DH. Jamison suff ered through numerous injuries in 2010 and only recorded 24 at-bats, but he proved he still had pop in his bat when he played hobbled hero in the OVC Tournament by coming off the bench cold and providing a pinch-hit RBI double in the top of the ninth that sparked a come-from-behind 4-3 win over Murray State. A slew of underclassmen will provide additional depth at DH, including sophomore Alex Hughes and freshmen Michael Buschmann and Mitch Durbin.

Schedule The Colonels open the season in Malibu, Calif. with a series against Pepperdine, will host such non-conference foes as Penn State, Western Carolina and UNC Asheville and will travel to play at such power conference opponents as Kentucky and West Virginia in 2011. “Our players have seen this tough schedule and are excited about the challenges it poses,” Stein said. “Hopefully it has motivated them throughout the oﬀ season to improve on their weaknesses and their strengths.” EKU’s conference schedule begins on the weekend of March 26-27 when the Colonels travel to Charleston, Ill. to play Eastern Illinois. The Colonels will host conference weekends against Southeast Missouri (April 2-3), Morehead State (April 16-17), UT Martin (April 22-23) and Murray State (May 7-8). They will go on the road for the ﬁ nal conference weekend of the season (May 14-15) to face the defending OVC champion Jackson- ville State. The OVC Tournament will again be held at Pringles Park in Jackson, Tenn.

A.J. Jamison has the most experience behind the plate of any Colonel, but will more than likely see most of his action as a designated hitt er in 2011
