Austin Peay’s 2017 team battled through an up-and-down campaign but there were plenty of highlights. The Govs picked up road wins in weekend series against North Carolina State and Notre Dame. In addition, APSU swept a three-game series from Jacksonville State for the first time in program history, getting the OVC campaign out to a quick start. In his first season, Janssen led Austin Peay to a six-game improvement overall. It was the second best year-to-year improvement in the OVC and 51st best among Division I programs. The Govs ultimately finished third in the OVC regular-season race – a four-spot improvement from the previous year – and they returned to the league tournament for the first time since 2013. The Manhattan, Kansas, native joined Austin Peay in September 2015 after a short second stop as assistant coach at Jacksonville State. Prior to that he led Northeastern State to more than 100 wins in four seasons. While in charge of the Division II RiverHawks, the program rose to great heights. Janssen inherited a program that won just six games the year prior to his arrival and had not enjoyed a winning record since the 2002 season. Janssen’s first NSU squad finished 2012 with a 25-24 overall record. The 19-win improvement over the previous season’s 6-33 record was the third-best turnaround in the NCAA that year. All told, Janssen guided the RiverHawks to at least 25 victories in each of his four campaigns, marking the first such occurrence during Northeastern State’s NCAA era (since 1996). In addition, the RiverHawks advanced to the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s (MIAA) Championship tournament each of the three seasons after NSU joined the league in 2013. In his final season in Tahlequah, Janseen guided Northeastern State to a 25-24 mark in another appearance in the MIAA tournament.

ASSISTANT COACH

David Weber returns to the Govs for the 2018 season as assistant coach and hitting instructor while working the catchers. Weber joined the Govs in 2017 as a volunteer assistant coach after serving as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Northwest Florida State College in 2016. While with the Raiders, he had the opportunity to coach NJCAA Division I First Team All-American Hunter Tackett. His time in Florida followed three seasons at Northeastern State, where he was a player for Janssen before becoming a graduate assistant coach. In 2015, he helped with hitting instruction and worked with catchers and outfielders in his first coaching position. Weber followed that by serving as head coach of the Vail Vipers of the Mountain West Summer Collegiate Baseball League, leading that team to a league runner-up finish. During his collegiate career, the Fort Walton Beach, Florida native helped Northeastern State reach the postseason in back-to-back seasons (2013-14) as a utility player – playing catcher, all three outfield positions, second base and designated hitter in his 104-game career. Weber was a career .318 hitter with the Riverhawks with 58 RBI and 74 runs scored. He began his collegiate career at Northwest Florida State.

ASSISTANT COACH

Greg Byron brings experience from all levels of baseball as he begins his third season on the Governors coaching staff as its assistant and pitching coach. In his first season at APSU, Byron helped the Govs pitching staff post significant improvements in strikeouts and walks allowed. Austin Peay’s strikeout-to-walk ratio jumped over 70 spots nationally from the previous year, ending the season ranked 91st with a 2.05 ratio. That was largely due to a more than 70-spot improvement in walks allowed as well as a 40-spot improvement nationally in strikeouts per nine innings. Byron joined Austin Peay after two seasons as a coach at the Triple-A level. Byron worked in the Minnesota Twins organization with the Roch- ester Red Wings during the 2015 season. He was with the St. Louis Cardinals organization in 2014 as an assistant with the Memphis Redbirds. Prior to his time as a coach and scout in the minor leagues, Byron was a volunteer assistant at both Iowa and Central Arkansas. While at Iowa he worked with program’s catchers and assisted pitching coach Scott Brickman. Byron’s time at Central Arkansas saw him help the team to the 2013 NCAA Tournament as a volunteer assistant/pitching coach. The Bears, who recorded a program-record 42 wins, won the Southland Conference Tournament as the seventh seed by capturing five consecutive elimination games. The Bears went on to post a 3-2 Starkville Regional record, forcing an elimination game for the regional championship against Mississippi State after eliminating South Alabama and Mercer. UCA finished the year ranked No. 25 in the Collegiate Baseball poll. Three Central Arkansas players were selected in the 2013 MLB First-Year Player Draft, including left-handed pitcher Jeffery Enloe, who was taken in the 37th round by the San Diego Padres. Following the 2013 season, Byron served as the pitching coach for the Thunder Bay Border Cats in the Northwoods Prospects League. He has also served as associate head coach/pitching coordinator for the Ontario Blue Jays (18U) from 2008-12, and was a graduate assistant at Bethany (Kan.) College in 2008-09. Byron also attended Scout School for the Toronto Blue Jays in 2011, threw batting practice for the MLB Pre-Draft Camp at the Rogers Centre in 2010 and assisted in gathering information for the Blue Jays’ draft-eligible collection in 2009-10. Byron played professional baseball from 2009-11, playing for the Lake Erie Crushers (2009), Quebec Les Capitales and Washington Wild Things (2010) and New York Federals (2011). After a junior college stint at Cerro Coso Junior College, Byron spent two years in the state of Kansas. He played his junior season at Kansas Wesleyan in 2007 and posted an 8-3 record as part of a Coyotes team that won the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference regular-season title. Byron then transferred to Bethany College where he posted an 11-1 record during his senior campaign and led NAIA with a 1.30 ERA. He was a 2008 NAIA All-American and named a Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference First Team all-conference and First Team All-Region IV selection. Byron earned his bachelor degree in business management from Bethany College in 2015 after completing his associate’s degree at Cerro Coso Junior College.
