TABLE OF CONTENTS/SEASON PREVIEW
Season Preview
The University of Akron baseball team will look to a deep pool of returning pitchers and a couple of key bats in the lineup to lead the way in 2011. “Our 2011 team has an extremely experienced group of returning pitchers with all of our starters and top relievers returning from last season,” coach Pat Bangtson said. “On offensive, our lineup is young, but has a lot of potential. We are excited to begin the season and start competing for a Mid-American Conference championship.” The Schedule The Zips will play teams from 14 different conferences this season and kick off the season on February 18th-20th with a pair of games against both Lamar and Mississippi State in Starkville, Miss. The schedule also includes non-conference trips to Texas State and Western Carolina – where UA will face WCU, Army, and Ohio State – midweek games against Pittsburgh and West Virginia, and an eight-game spring break trip in Winter Haven, Fla. The Mid-American Conference schedule features home series with Western Michigan, Central Michigan, Miami, and Bowling Green, and road series against Toledo, Eastern Michigan, Buffalo, Ohio, and Kent State. Akron will also play eight games at Canal Park – the home of the Akron Aeros – in downtown Akron in 2011, including the entire opening MAC series with Western Michigan. Akron and Kent State will also play the first game of their season-ending series at the downtown facility as the game will be the fifth annual Diamond Classic for the Kids. The Team Leading the way for the Zips in 2011 will be co-captains Drew Turocy and Kevin Kumazec. Turocy, a junior centerfielder, returned to the field in 2010 after missing the 2009 season after having tommy john surgery and had one of the best offensive seasons in Akron baseball history. The Canfield, Ohio native broke the season records for hits, at-bats, and singles in a season. Turocy led the team in batting average (.358) and runs scored (62), while tying for the team lead in RBIs (57). After making 18 relief appearances last season, Turocy is expected to be used as on outfielder only in 2011. Kumazec, a senior right-handed pitcher, was the top reliever on the Zips’ pitching staff in 2010, making 25 appearances. The senior from Euclid, Ohio totaled 31.1 innings of work and struck out 24 while walking just 11. Three veteran hurlers will comprise the starting pitching rotation. Junior Andrew Brown held a team-low earned run average of 4.50 over 14 starts and 98.0 innings pitched, while junior Alex Loftin also recorded an ERA under 5.00 in 13 starts and 96.1 innings pitched. Senior Zach Yike is projected as the team’s third starter. Yike made seven starts and 14 appearances out of the bullpen in 2010 compiling a 2-1 record over 47.0 innings.

HEAD COACH PAT BANGTSON
Pat Bangtson Head Coach Sixth Season Kent State, 1988
32
Akron native and former Kent State standout Pat Bangtson will begin his sixth year at the helm of the The University of Akron baseball program in 2011, bringing over 19 years of collegiate coaching experience to the Akron dugout. Bangtson took over the Zips’ top post in July of 2005 after serving 14 seasons as an assistant coach/pitching coach at The Ohio State University. Since arriving, Bangtson has brought instant credibility to the club, most recently posting the program’s first winning season in 11 years. In the past five seasons under Bangtson’s guidance, two Zips’ pitchers and a first basemen have been selected in Major League Baseball’s amateur draft and six players have earned All-Mid-American Conference honors. Following the 2007 campaign, All-MAC first-teamer and now assistant coach Kurt Davidson became just the third player in school history to earn all-region status. Bangtson’s players have excelled in the classroom as well, with six athletes earning Academic All-MAC honors. Akron finished the 2010 season. with a 21-34 record, including an 18-10 mark in non-conference action. The Zips went 5-2 on their spring break trip in Florida. Senior John Turk was named to the All-MAC second team and was joined by fellow senior Kevin Haas on the Academic All-Mac team. It was the third straight Academic All-MAC nod for Haas. Haas was also named CoSIDA/ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District IV for the second straight season. Additionally, sophomore outfielder Drew Turocy turned in an outstanding season in 2010, breaking several UA records. Most notably, Turocy’s 95 base knocks broke the record for hits in a season, topping the previous mark of 94 set by Steve Sada in 1988. Akron players garnered five MAC Player/Pitcher of the Week nods and Jake Plata was named Louisville Slugger National Player of the Week on March 22. The 2010 team also broke the single season team record for hits with 629, crushing the mark of 574 set by the 2009 squad. In 2009, UA compiled a 19-33 record under Bangtson, competing against several tough out-of-conference opponents in addition to facing three top-25 teams, including no. 25 Michigan, no. 21 Illinois and no. 26 Kent State. The Zips defeated the then-ranked no. 26 Golden Flashes three times last season, picking up the 12-5 victory in the third annual Diamond Classic for Kids held at Canal Park before claiming the MAC series at Kent with a pair of wins. 2009 saw junior Kevin Haas and senior Phil Bednar named to the second team CoSIDA ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District IV. The duo was also named to the Academic All-MAC team along with junior Benjamin Danziger upon conclusion of the season. Additional honors bestowed upon the Zips included three MAC Pitcher of the Week awards. Sophomore Alex Loftin was a two-time recipient while Danziger received the distinction once under Bangtson last season. The Zips also registered school records in home runs with 57 round-trippers and total bases with 879 last season. In 2008, Bangtson guided the program to its first winning season in 11 years as the Zips posted a 25-24 overall record while compiling an 8-13 mark in the Mid-American Conference. Following the season, Davidson was named to the all-conference first team for the second straight year and sophomore Kevin Haas earned his first Academic All-Mid-American Conference honor for his performance off the diamond. Adding to the list of individual accomplishments, pitcher Tom Farmer was selected in the MLB draft for the second time as the Minnesota Twins drafted the right-hander in the 47th round (Farmer was also selected by the team in the 20th round in 2007). Senior first basemen Doug McNulty who had an outstanding season for the Zips in 2008 batting .321 with a team-high 12 home runs and 41 RBI, was nabbed by the New York Mets in the 49th round. In Bangtson’s short tenure at Akron, the Zips have made steady improvements at the plate and on the mound. The Zips owned the second-best leagueonly earned run average in 2009 with a 5.84 ERA. Akron hit at a .309 clip as a team in 2008 to post the third-highest average in the MAC. The Zips have continued to bat well, posting team batting averages of .302 in 2009 and .307 in 2010. Those averages are up from the .288 average of the 2007 team and the .277 mark of the 2006 club. Defensively, the Zips have again made significant progress under Bangtson. Akron’s fielding percentage went from tenth-best (.950) in 2006 to second-best in the conference in 2007 (.969). Furthermore, Akron turned a MAC-best 59 double-plays in 2008. In 2010, the Zips once again held a fielding percentage above .960 (.961). On the mound, Akron has shown continued improvement. Drew Turocy and Benjamin Danziger each registered four wins in their first competitive seasons
under Bangtson’s watch. The 2008 season saw Frank Turocy lowered his ERA by .85 points en route to a team-best 4.62 ERA and 6-3 mark on the year. The 2008 pitching staff compiled a 6.21 ERA, which ranked seventh in the MAC a significant turnaround from the 2006 campaign as UA hurlers finished 11th in the conference with a combined ERA of 6.43. In 2010, Alex Loftin and Andrew Brown both held ERAs under 5.00 and pitched over 90.0 innings each. Not surprisingly, Bangtson’s influence has been most notable with his handling of the pitching staff. Bangtson was an all-conference hurler with Kent State and oversaw the Buckeyes pitching staff during his tenure in Columbus. In those 13 seasons, Ohio State captured seven regular-season Big Ten titles, seven conference tournament crowns and reached the NCAA Regionals 11 times. Bangtson oversaw a number of individual accomplishments while on the OSU staff. In addition to posting the lowest ERA in the league five times, 27 Ohio State pitchers were drafted professionally, five hurlers earned All-America honors and three secured the Big Ten Pitcher of the Year award. At Ohio State, Bangtson had a hand in all aspects of the program by serving as the co-recruiting coordinator and organizing the day-to-day baseball operations. Bangtson, played his prep baseball at Akron’s St. Vincent-St. Mary High School where he was an all-state performer before starring with the Golden Flashes. He pitched for Bob Todd at Kent State from 1984-87 and secured first-team All-MAC honors as a senior, going 8-5 with a 3.11 ERA while striking out 74 in 95 1/3 innings of work. For his career, Bangtson compiled a 26-17 record, and he holds the Golden Flashes’ all-time records for victories (26) and innings pitched (313.2). He also ranks third in appearances (52) and strikeouts (212). The two-time KSU captain was chosen in the 23rd round of the 1987 Major League Draft by the Minnesota Twins. He played in the Twins organization for five years, reaching the Triple-A level at Portland in 1990 and playing for Double-A Orlando in his final pro season (1991). His best year was at Kenosha (Single-A) in 1988, when he was 17-5 with a 2.87 ERA and 120 strikeouts. When his playing career ended, Bangtson moved into the coaching ranks as a volunteer assistant under Todd in 1992 at OSU before moving into a full-time assistant coaching role the following season. In 2005, the Buckeyes led the Big Ten in team ERA (3.78) for the third time in the previous five seasons. Left-handed pitcher Dan DeLucia, who earned All-Big Ten honors, along with RHP Mike Madsen and LHP Trent Luyster, both taken in the 2005 MLB Draft, headlined the pitching staff. Madsen went in the 21st round to the Oakland Athletics and Luyster went in the 30th round to the Toronto Blue Jays. A year earlier, Scott Lewis earned Big Ten Pitcher of the Year honors after posting a 1.61 ERA with 127 strikeouts, one of three OSU hurlers earning all-league distinction in 2004. In fact, the Buckeyes have had at least one allconference pitcher each season since 1999. Bangtson was elected to Kent State’s Varsity “K” Hall of Fame in 2004 and is also a member of the Greater Akron Baseball Hall of Fame. He and his wife Kristine, also a Kent State graduate, have a daughter, Kara (15) and three sons, Justin (13), Todd (9) and Kyle (5).

Experienced coach Greg Cypret will join the Akron staff as an assistant coach for the 2011 season. Cypret will coach the Zips hitters and infielders, while also serving as the assistant recruiting coordinator. Cypret comes to UA after spending the last 22 seasons as an assistant coach on the Ohio State baseball staff. Cypret worked with the Buckeye infielders and hitters and oversaw recruiting. Prior to going to Ohio State, he spent three seasons as an assistant coach at Kent State. Five times under Cypret’s watch the Buckeyes led the Big Ten in hitting. The 2006 squad managed a .332 batting average, the fifth best in school history. Ohio State also led the league in batting average in 1991 and three years straight from 1994-96. Buckeye batters were second in the nation in hitting in 1994 and ninth in 1996. Individually, five Buckeyes won Big Ten batting crowns under Cypret. Four more led the league in home runs and an additional six more led the Big Ten in RBI. Cypret also helped tutor the 2004 Big Ten Player of the Year, Steve Caravati. Caravati led the Big Ten with a .391 average that season, had a school record 92 hits, and batted in 52 runs. A native of St. Louis, Cypret graduated from Hazelwood High School in 1974 and accepted a football scholarship to Missouri. After spending one year as a quarterback on the football team, Cypret decided to concentrate on baseball. A high school All-American shortstop, he excelled at the position all four years for the Tigers and was a three-time All-Big Eight pick and a three time All-America selection, earning third-team honors in 1975, honorable mention honors in 1976 and first-team honors in 1978. He was a seventh-round draft choice of the Houston Astros in 1978 and played six years with that organization, the last four with the club’s Triple-A affiliate in Tucson. In 1998, he was one of nine University of Missouri athletes chosen for induction into the MU Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of Fame. It was the school’s ninth induction class since the hall was initiated in 1990. Cypret graduated from Missouri in 1979 with a degree in physical education. He and his wife, Sue, have a daughter, Carolyn, and a son, Ryan.

Kurt Davidson returns for his third season with the UA coaching staff and second as a full-time assistant following a promotion in the fall of 2009. Davidson, a four-year letterwinner for the Zips from 2005-08 brings a wealth of experience and unprecedented knowledge as one of the most gifted and decorated hitters in Akron history. His primary duties will focus on instructing the hitters and catchers while assisting head coach Bangtson with travel coordination. Davidson will also assist with recruiting duties while serving as the team’s camp coordinator. In 2010, Davidson helped coach an Akron team that collected more hits than any other team in program history. The 629 base knocks totaled by the 2010 team destroyed the previous mark of 574 set by the 2009 team that Davidson also helped mentor. The 2010 club also broke the program record for doubles. Davidson also coached sophomore Drew Turocy to one of the best individual hitting seasons in school history. Turocy broke the 12-year old single season mark for hits with 95. Davidson was a second team All-Mideast Region honoree in 2007 and holds the lone distinction of being a three-time All-Mid-American Conference honoree for the Zips. Davidson was named to the second team as a sophomore before receiving first team nods in his junior and senior campaigns. Additionally, Davidson was also a three-time Most Valuable Player selection for the Zips during his career and is the lone Zip in program history to earn the prestige award three years in his career and received the prestigious Joe Thomas Award bestowed upon the player with the highest batting average in a season in his sophomore campaign after posting a .338 clip. Davidson finished his career at Akron as the leader in several statistical categories, including home runs (41), RBIs (180), at bats (807) and total bases (430). Additionally, Davidson is second in career hits at Akron (253) and third in career doubles (52). The power-hitter remains tied for second on the all-time single season list for 12 home runs in a season, a feat he managed to accomplish twice in his career as both a sophomore and senior and is fourth on the single season putouts list with 410 in his freshman campaign. Davidson graduated from the University of Akron in 2009 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications. He currently resides in North Canton, Ohio.

Lee R. Jackson Baseball Field has been the home to Zips Baseball since 1972, and the facility has undergone several upgrades over the years to keep it among the finest college facilities in the Northeast Ohio. The 23-acre Lee R. Jackson Athletic Complex - which also consists of the soccer, softball and track and field facilities - is named in honor of the former University of Akron Board chairman and retired president and vice chairman of the board of The Firestone Tire & Rubber Company. The facility features sunken dugouts, a net and cable system backstop, and bullpens as well as batting cages located down the right field line. Through the generosity of the Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company of Akron, a $36,000 scoreboard was installed just outside the right field fence. In 1995, a dual-purpose press box was installed for use by both the UA baseball and soccer programs. A year later, a permanent public address system and the two batting cages were installed. In 1999, a 10-foot high wooden home-run fence was constructed. Most recently in 2007, a new irrigation system was installed in addition to having the infield area regarded. Originally, the initial Lee R. Jackson Baseball diamond bordered the intersection of Brown and Exchange streets. However, five years later in 1972, the diamond was moved to its current location to avoid the danger foul balls and home runs might provide for pedestrians and motorists. The current field - centrally located on the UA campus - attracts spectators and students who enjoy afternoon contests from the bank that stretches down the left field line.

Head Coach Pat Bangtson believes in the good nature of sports and the positive impact community relations can have on members of his baseball club. These reasons primarily influenced the skipper, who partnered with Kent State head coach Scott Stricklin, to raise funds for the Akron Children’s Hospital. A baseball game between Kent State and Akron became customary in 2007 when the coaches united, pitting conference-rivals against each other for a noble cause, the Diamond Classic For Kids. Since then, the Zips and Golden Flashes have faced off once a year at Canal Park (home of the Akron Aeros) with all proceeds benefiting the Akron Children’s Hospital. Prior to each game, it has become custom for players, coaches and mascots from both teams to hand out baseballs, t-shirts, posters and signed autographs for recovering patients at the hospital. Last season, several Zips players accompanied Coach Bangtson along with Kent State players and coaches to continue that tradition. “The visit to the hospital is a great opportunity for our guys to try to lift the spirits of kids who are less fortunate than us. It also gives us the opportunity to give back to this community and those less fortunate than ourselves while making a positive impact on these kids” said UA head coach Pat Bangtson. Coach Bangtson notes, “The Diamond Classic has become a great event not only for both Akron and Kent State, but for the entire Northeast Ohio community. On the field, the first four games of the Diamond Classic have been extremely competitive.” Two out of the four games have been decided by two runs or less. Bangtson goes on to add that, “The bottom line is, the kids reap the benefits. While it certainly doesn’t hurt to win ball games like these at a first rate facility in Canal Park, the cause we play for surpasses the end result. The Diamond Classic will remain special event for both teams and one we always look forward to.” This year’s Diamond Classic For Kids is scheduled for Thursday May 19 at Canal Park.
