INTRODUCTION | academics
ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE The numbers tell a story; a story of a program that lives out the meaning of a student-athlete, a story of student-athletes achieving their goals, and a story of a coaching staff and administration that facilitate the needs of their student-athletes to the highest level. Putting the 'student' before the 'athlete' is a catch phrase that rolls off the tongue of nearly every coach and player competing in collegiate athletics, but few programs actually live up to this statement year after year as Belmont can. After the 2008-09 academic year Belmont baseball reported its highest APR score while setting the pace for all baseball programs in the academically prowess Atlantic Sun. In each of the last five years the APR has been inexistence, the Bruins have twice reported in the top-10 percent of the 302 Division I baseball programs with scores that greatly exceed the national average. A finish in the 90-100 percentile of programs in the nation earns the Public Recognition Award. Additionally, the Graduate Success Rate, a long-term measurement also administered by the NCAA speaks volumes for the Bruin baseball program. In the most-recent report from 2009 Belmont baseball boasted a GSR of 100
percent, 33 points ahead of the national average. What is the secret behind this success? "I credit the Belmont athletic department staff - our academic councilors and coordinators - and the great job that my assistants have done in bringing in quality student-athletes to our program," Head Coach David Jarvis said.

Belmont Athletics Academic Coordinator Colette Keyser spoke highly of the academic

culture that Jarvis has nurtured in the program, now in his 13th year. "The fact that our APR score is high tells a great story about our baseball program," Keyser said. "It says that the coaches recruit students who fit Belmont, who are academically focused and committed to academic goals as a team. It really describes what is going on within the institution and the individual program." Belmont offers a number of resources to help new students transition to college life. Each new student-athlete meets one-on-one with an academic advisor from the athletic department to discuss class assignments, learn ways to communicate with professors, personal challenges and other issues related to academic progress. Study hours and tutorial services are other ways in which Belmont athletics ensures academic success. The importance of academics isn't just stressed during study hours; it is a lifestyle for Belmont baseball. "It is constantly communicated with the students through the recruiting process, and once they are here their coaches fully support the academic staff and the programs that we
academics | INTRODUCTION have in place," Keyser said. "The coaches do a lot of it by visibly showing support for our academic programs." With strong support from a coaching staff with years of experience, baseball has yielded some of the best leaders to ever come through Belmont athletics. Since joining the Atlantic Sun in 2001-02, the baseball program has seen 144 Academic All-Conference selections and three Academic All-Americans. "The baseball program has picked some really good leaders, even groups of leaders, over the years which set the standard for the team," Keyser added. "They are the first ones in their professor's office when they come back from traveling to get caught up; they constantly see that earnest effort to stay current and recognize that the academic piece is very important to them." The APR is one of the many ways in which the Belmont baseball can tell a story of academic excellence, player and coach continuity, and athletic success over a number of years. But the story applies to Belmont athletics as a whole as much as it does with baseball. Behind the leadership of Belmont Director of Athletics Mike Strickland, academic success has become a trend for the entire athletics department.
With nearly 70 percent of all Belmont entathletes earning Academic All-Conference honors during the 2008-2009 academic year, four programs made the APR Public Recognition Award list. Belmont student-athletes also have reported a department-wide GPA of over 3.0 for 24 straight semesters. In the past nine years Belmont has been represented by 16 Academic All-America honorees. Furthermore, Belmont student-athletes have captured the Atlantic Sun Academic Trophy seven times in the last eight years. The award is given annually to the conference school with the greatest percentage of studentathletes receiving All-Academic honors. With coaches and staff who are dedicated to academic excellence, student-athletes entering Belmont continue to be given every opportunity to succeed in an environment that truly encourages the development of both the student and the athlete.

What is the APR? The Academic Progress Rate is the fulcrum upon which the entire NCAA academicreform structure rests. Developed as a more real-time assessment of teams' academic performance than the six-year graduation-rate calculation provides, the APR awards two points each term to student-athletes who meet academic-eligibility standards and who remain with the institution. A team's APR is the total points earned by the team at a given time divided by the total points possible. Under the APR calculation, an "0-for-2" student-athlete is one who is neither academically eligible nor remains with the institution. An 0-for-2 player might be one who transfers, leaves the institution for personal reasons or leaves to turn pro and would not have been academically eligible had he or she returned. Obviously, these are the types of situations the academic-reform structure is most meant to address, since they are the most damaging to a team's APR. While teams cannot always control the reasons student-athletes leave, the immediate (or contemporaneous) penalty holds them accountable for at least making sure student-athletes are academically eligible during their college tenures. -National Collegiate Athletics Association

INTRODUCTION | season preview
SEASON PREVIEW In Jim Collins' best selling business book Good to Great he explains after years of research that the foundation of taking an organization to its pinnacle of success is finding the right people. Without question Belmont baseball has been consistently good after three-straight Atlantic Sun Tournament semifinal appearances and fielding A-Sun homerun leader Derek Wiley; but are the Bruins in a position to become great as a team and win the first Atlantic Sun title in program history? "We feel like the pieces are in place to give us the opportunity to compete and eventually play for the conference championship in May; that is our team goal," Head Coach David Jarvis said. "It is a year of change, both on the mound and in the field, but I am excited about the talent and the character of the young men who give us unlimited possibilities and potential." Amidst graduating five seniors from last season, plus another junior to the MLB Draft, there will be many roles to fill during the 2010 season with a talented group of newcomers ready to answer the call. Reigning Atlantic Sun Freshman of the Year Dylan Craig, number-one starter Nate Woods, team captains Packy Elkins and Mark Noth, catcher Matt Zeblo, and outfielder Derek Hamblen, are the core returning let-

terman who will help lead a new era of success in 2010. PITCHING Four of the six seniors from last season were pitchers, including the team strikeout leader Brian Kelley, who fanned 60 and held a 5-2 record as a starter. The graduation of closer Jimmy Stanley will leave opportunities for late relief as each Bruin closer in the past seven years has recorded six saves or more. Despite bright spots, last season's pitching staff faced depth issues as the rigors of a 58-game sched-
“I am excited about the quality and character of the young men that give us unlimited possibilities and potential.� ule limited the rotation after injuries sidelined solid contributors. Apart of the group was Woods, who has fully recovered from his 2009 foot injury and is slated as the number one starter. Woods held a team-best 2.02 ERA before exiting last season early after just six starts from the mound. "We feel like Nate has the ability to be a number one pitcher in this league," Jarvis said.

"He has the ability to matchup with other teams' number one starter and gives us every opportunity to win the first game of the series, which is crucial. In addition to that, we see a strong offensive potential his freshman year, and last year he was off to a tremendous start." With a healthy season the Cedar Rapids, Iowa native will give Belmont stability in the starting rotation and offer a skilled bat in the middle of the lineup, hitting .407 in 27 at bats last season. Talented true freshman Chase Brookshire comes to Belmont with winning experience and the potential to become an impact player as he learns the ropes of Division I competition. The left-handed All-State selection out of McCallie School in Chattanooga will vie for starting role on weekends with superior control and strikeout ability. During his senior season, Brookshire had 105 strikeouts with a 0.87 ERA. The departure of closer Stanley opens the door for junior Jon Ivie and sophomore Matt Hamann to tag-team in closing opportunities for the Bruins. Stanley left Belmont as one of the more effective closers in recent history, accounting for eight saves last season and tied for the fourth-most career saves at Belmont. Last season Ivie made 25 appearances as a setup man with one save and a 3-3 record.
season preview | INTRODUCTION Hamann will be used more exclusively in the relief role after starting seven games last season and making 17 total appearances with a 4-3 record. Of the five returning relief pitchers, Hamann had the most experience on the mound last season with 44 innings pitched. Right-handed Garrett Fanchier returns in 2010 looking to build on a 3-3 freshman campaign after 10 starts from the mound. Tyler Graskewicz also started 10 games last season with a 2-7 record. In his second season with Belmont, senior Cameron Heath will build upon his potential as a relief stopper. The Jackson, Mo., native was third on the team in strikeouts per nine innings last season at 6.31. Sophomore lefty Frank Adelman will also compete for a starting role after making four starts last season with two complete games. Brandon Frensley pitched just 1 2/3 inning in a season cut short by injury. Frensley was granted a medical redshirt to retain his sophomore standing. INFIELD After losing three of four infield starters from last season, the Bruins' front-line defense has many questions to be answered heading into the season. Senior shortstop Elkins is the only returning starter as second baseman Daniel Wagner and first baseman Wiley were lost to the draft and three-year starter at third base, Brandon McCall, graduated. Wagner was selected as Belmont's second-highest selection in the MLB Draft in the Division I era after stealing 24 bases as a junior. Elkins returns as team captain after starting 46 games last season at shortstop. In his junior campaign the Raleigh, N.C., product took over two career records at Belmont; sacrifice hits (25), and walks during the NCAA era (99). As Belmont's most-experienced upperclassmen Elkins has been a member of three A-Sun Tournament semifinal teams and one team that reached the championship game in 2007. His experience will be invaluable as he leads a
Elkins
new-look infield in 2010. Although starting spots are still available around the horn going into Spring practice, freshman Jared Breen and Judah Akers are shaping up to be in the front of the line to refresh the infield roster. Breen, a former Rawlings Georgia Defensive Player of the Year, has shown the necessary tools to make an immediate impact at second base. Akers turned some heads this Fall by showing power at the plate in clutch situations during the Gray-Red Fall World Series. The Cookeville, Tenn., native will compete to start at second base this season as will Drew Turner and Brendan Frazier. Freshman Josh Davis and junior college transfer Tim Egerton are two versatile newcomers whose presence is sure to make an impact on both the field and the mound. Davis comes from Greater Gwinnet Christian, one of the top homeschooled teams in the nation - winning the Homeschool World Series Association title for the third straight year in 2009. In his senior year, Davis was a force on the mound (5-1 with a 2.50 ERA) and at the plate (.372 batting average, 40 RBI). Egerton spent two years at Columbia State Community College where he proved his versatility by playing at nearly every position on the field. The versatility of junior Derek Hamblen and Woods will also play a role in determining the starting infield. OUTFIELD Preseason All-Conference selection Dylan Craig will lead the outfield after a record-setting freshman campaign. It didn't take long for the Chattanooga native to fit in the lineup, not just starting every game but setting records for single-season hits (92), hitting streak (26 games-tied) and single-season triples (9-tied) at Belmont. His performance garnered Louisville Freshman All-America attention from Collegiate Baseball, Atlantic Sun Freshman of the Year and honors, and became the lone Bruin on the A-Sun All-Tournament team. "You couldn't ask for more than what he gave us last season," Jarvis said. "He can consistently get on base, has good speed, can make things happen offensively, and tends to be an outstanding clutch hitter in tight situations. In addition to that, he plays a tremendous defensive center field for us, so you add that up and he is an important cog in the returning team." Derek Hamblen is slated to start in left field, providing speed and agility in the field and power at the plate as the leader in homeruns among returning players (7). Senior Mark Noth was elected as the team captain prior to the season and will look to build upon his 2009 campaign in which he led all players coming off the bench in homeruns, RBI, total bases and hits.

When Woods isn't pitching, he will bring a capable bat to the lineup in outfield, much like last season when he started four games in right field before being sidelined with an injury. CATCHER Matt Zeblo returns as the first catcher on the depth chart while the dependable Vinny Casha will backup behind the plate. Last season the duo split time as Zeblo accounted for 34 starts, and Casha started 24. In his junior campaign, Zeblo will aim to cement his role as one of the best catchers in the conference by building on last season's clutch hitting (.417 with runners is scoring position) while improving on his defense with an arm that will dictate base running. "Matt has come a long way," Jarvis said. "He has tremendous bat speed to give him the ability to make adjustments at the plate and read pitchers well. The thing that I've been most encouraged with Matt is that, defensively, his arm strength has taken a major jump which gives him a better tool behind the plate." Casha provides intangibles which make him an asset in working with and getting the most out of pitchers while behind the plate. Freshman Adam Cellini will add depth to the position after a successful high school career at Trinity Prep in the Orlando, Fla., area with teammate Ross Beach. SCHEDULE The Bruins' 2010 schedule features 21 of the first 25 games played at home, and five NCAA Tournament teams from 2009. Belmont will put a seven game home-opener winning streak on the line when Missouri Valley Conference member Evansville comes to town on Feb. 19 in Shelby Park. The majority of Belmont's non-conference slate will feature traded home games with six area teams - Western Kentucky, Murray State, MTSU, Tennessee Tech, UT Martin, and Austin Peay. Included in the regional matchups is the top-half of the Ohio Valley Conference from 2009. Of Belmont's five OVC opponents, four won over 30 games last season including regular season champs Eastern Illinois and tournament champs Tennessee Tech. The Bruins face Southeastern Conference powerhouse programs Vanderbilt and Tennessee in April. Both games will be away from home, staring with a trip down the road to Vanderbilt on April 6, and concluding with an April 27 date with the Vols in Knoxville. Belmont will face three new opponents in 2010 - Cleveland State, Eastern Michigan and Evansville - all of which will be played at Shelby Park. The Bruins open the conference season on the road against reigning Atlantic Sun Tournament Champion Jacksonville on March 12. The Dolphins eliminated Belmont en route

to their fourth A-Sun title and sixth berth in the NCAA Tournament. Belmont plays 27 conference games, three less than last season's A-Sun slate which the Bruins finished with an even 15-15 record. ETSU is the lone conference member that the Bruins will not play in the regular season. The home conference schedule concludes with a three-game series against Campbell, when Belmont’s four seniors - Elkins, Heath, Frazier, and Noth - will be recognized during Senior Day festivities. Instead of preparing for another long-haul to central Florida for the Atlantic Sun Tournament, the Bruins road to a championship will be less than three miles down Belmont Boulevard at Lipscomb's Dugan Field from May 25-29. "Playing at Lipscomb offers a number of advantages for us," Jarvis said. "It is another great baseball environment to play in and we can also sleep in our own beds without worrying about traveling or hosting. It gives us the best of both worlds." The tournament's change of venue in 2010 ends an eight-year run of Stetson hosting the event in DeLand, Fla. ATLANTIC SUN Baseball has long been one of the strongest sports that the Atlantic Sun has to offer, regularly fielding ranked teams and players in the MLB Draft. Last season, the conference boasted three teams in the top-100 RPI with 18 players selected in the draft. The 2009 MLB Draft proved that the talent pool for A-Sun baseball is at its best and getting better. The draft featured a first-round pick Chad Jenkins of Kennesaw State, plus two more top-50 selections, marking the first time in conference history that three A-Sun players have been taken in first 50 spots. The A-Sun’s 18 selections (including Bruins Daniel Wagner and Derek Wiley) were the most since 2006. This season, Florida Gulf Coast pitcher Chris Sale has received preseason attention from a number of national media outlets as one of the best prospects in the nation. Reigning A-Sun Freshman of the Year Dylan Craig was picked on the Preseason AllConference team in the outfield. Belmont was picked to finish eighth in the Atlantic Sun Preseason Coaches Poll, close behind a tie for sixth between Mercer and Lipscomb. FGCU was picked to win the regular season and tournament crowns while garnering ESPN/USA Today Top-25 votes. All things considered, 2010 is shaping up to be one of the most competitive seasons in league history.

Head Coach David Jarvis is entering his 13th season at Belmont, where he has led Bruin baseball to consistently excel in the classroom while competing at the top of the Atlantic Sun Conference. Jarvis, a life-time teacher and coach, is in his 28th season of coaching college baseball after successful stints as an assistant at Murray State and head coach Three Rivers Community College. Jarvis led the Bruins to a program-record of 34 victories in 2007 and has seen seven players drafted in the last five years. Off the field, the Bruins are coming off their best year in terms of the Academic Progress Rate (APR) while listing 15 players on the Academic All-Atlantic Sun list. In the most-recent APR release, Belmont baseball reported a score of 983 - nearly 40 points above the national baseball average. The scored ranked in the highest 10 percent of all baseball programs competing in NCAA Division I earning the prestigious Public Recognition Award for the second time in the APR's four-year history. The award was only given out to 31 programs in 2009, out of nearly 300 Division I programs throughout the nation. Since Belmont has been a member of the Atlantic Sun, Jarvis has coached 26 All-Atlantic Sun Conference selections, 144 Atlantic Sun Academic All-Conference selections and 16 Atlantic Sun Player of the Week honorees. On the field in 2009, the Bruins returned to the Atlantic Sun Tournament Semifinals for the third consecutive season behind the potent pair of record-setting veteran infielder Derek Wiley and up-and-coming outfielder Dylan Craig. Wiley graduated owning six Belmont career batting records and the Atlantic Sun record for career homeruns (58). Craig was the first Bruin since Wiley to earn A-Sun Freshman of the Year honors after setting a Belmont single-season record of 92 hits. The Chattanooga southpaw maintained the second-longest hitting streak in Belmont history at 26-games and capped off his impressive debut season in blue and red being named to the Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American Team by Collegiate Baseball. Under Jarvis' tutelage Belmont's presence in MLB Draft continued in the 2009 offseason as junior second baseman Daniel Wagner and Wiley were selected - the fourth time in five years two Bruins have been drafted. Wagner was the second-earliest Bruin all-time taken in the draft after the Chicago White Sox grabbed him in the 16th round, while the Atlanta Braves picked Wiley in the 31st round. In Belmont's 56-year baseball history, nine of the Bruins' 26 total MLB Draft selections have been taken since Jarvis arrived in Nashville in 1998. In 2008, the Bruins posted 25 wins and made the Atlantic Sun Tournament for the third time in school history. Belmont posted wins over Tennessee, as well as 2008 NCAA Tournament participants Lipscomb and Western Kentucky.

Reynolds was signed by the Evansville Otters of the Frontier League. 2006 saw two players earn first team All-Conference, while Wiley was named the Atlantic Sun Freshman of the Year as well as a member of Collegiate Baseball's Freshmen All-American squad. Several other players earned weekly honors from the Atlantic Sun Conference throughout the season as well. Relief pitcher Blake Owen set a single-season Belmont record of 13 saves while posting an ERA of 0.81 under the direction of Jarvis in 2005. Owen, a Vanderbilt transfer, earned First Team All-Conference in his lone season at Belmont and went on to be the highest Bruin selected in the MLB Draft during the NCAA era. After his junior year as a Bruin Owen was picked by the Baltimore Orioles in the sixth round (183rd overall). Former Belmont pitcher Justin Jordan reached the AAA level after being drafted out of Belmont in 2005. Later, Owen had a successful professional season in 2006 after posting a 7-4 record with a 3.81 ERA at Class A Delmarva. Cody Blackard played a key role for the Evansville Otters, as they won the Frontier League Championship. In 2005, Jarvis led the Bruins to their third consecutive winning season, and their seventh in his eight years at Belmont. The team finished 28-26, including a 13-11 road record. The Bruins defeated in-state rival Tennessee for the second straight season. In 2004, the Bruins posted 31 wins - which was then the most wins in school history - but fell short of the conference tournament with a 13-17 league record. For the second consecutive season the Bruins tied a program record as 21 players were named Academic All-Conference. Jarvis garnered Atlantic Sun Coach of the Year honors in 2003 after leading the Bruins to a 10-win improvement in conference play while earning the program's first Atlantic Sun Tournament bid.

Matt Barnett is entering his ninth season with the Belmont baseball program as the pitching coach, and was recently named recruiting coordinator after the 2008 season. Barnett also oversees the operation of Belmont's three instructional camps as the camp director. Under Barnett's direction, five Belmont pitchers have been selected First or Second Team All-Atlantic Sun in the last eight seasons. In 2008, Carlo Testa was named First Team All-Conference as a starting pitcher, later being selected in the 18th round of the MLB Draft by the Kansas City Royals. The 2008 campaign also yielded 14 team saves - second-most in the A-Sun. Barnett has coached two closers who have finished in the top-four on Belmont's career saves list; most recently, Jimmy Stanley recorded 15 saves in three seasons as a Bruin (2007-09). Chris Manning tied the school record with 25 saves in three seasons at Belmont (2006-08). With an 8-2 record in 2007, starting pitcher Charles Lee came within one win of tying Belmont's single-season win record on his way to a First Team All-Conference selection. Lee finished his career with 16 career wins on the mound, third-most during Belmont's NCAA era. Relief pitcher Blake Owen set a single-season Belmont record of 13 saves while posting an ERA of 0.81 under the direction of Barnett in 2005. Owen, a Vanderbilt transfer, earned First Team All-Conference in his lone season at Belmont and went on to be the highest Bruin selected in the MLB Draft during the NCAA era. After his junior year as a Bruin Owen was picked by the Baltimore Orioles in the sixth round (183rd overall). With a style that emphasizes the ability to keep pitch count down by eliminating the batter in three pitches or less, the Bruin pitching staff was one of the best in the conference in 2004. The Bruins were at the top of the league in hits allowed, runs allowed and earned run average. Barnett also led a stand-out year for the Bruins in 2005, as five pitchers posted winning records while the staff struck out 307 batters and walked just 129. Also under Barnett's direction, Will Tucker broke the single season mark for saves with 12; Shane Haas tied the school record for wins with nine, and a handful of pitchers earning Atlantic Sun Pitchers of the Week honors. Prior to joining the Belmont staff in the fall of 2001, Barnett was the pitching coach for the 2001 Ohio Valley Conference champions, Tennessee Tech. In NCAA Regional play, Barnett helped orchestrate an upset against the top-seed in the Golden Eagles' pool, Wake Forest. Barnett first started his collegiate coaching career as a pitching coach at Morehead State. He also served as an assistant coach on the 2000 Coastal Plain League Champions in Petersburg, Va., a summer collegiate wooden bat league. Barnett has staffed camps across the southeast including the University of Tennessee's summer camp while assisting with Belmont's Fall Instructional League for area high school players. As a player, he pitched for both Northeast Mississippi Junior College and Shelby State Community College before landing at Tennessee Martin to finish his playing career while obtaining his degree in 1997. Barnett and his wife, Natalie, reside in Lavergne, Tenn., with their son, Easton.

“Four years ago, I was enduring the college selection process with no idea where I would end up. After weighing several options, I chose Belmont for a number of reasons. Not only would it allow me the opportunity to achieve my childhood goal of playing college baseball, but Belmont also offers a big city feel in the heart of Nashville as well as a highly respected Business school. Now, four years later, I am completely satisfied with my decision to attend Belmont. Over the course of my Belmont career, I have been able to make major strides in my physical, spiritual, and intellectual development. Not to mention, I was also able to build some of the most meaningful relationships of my life. My experience at Belmont has undoubtedly equipped me for wherever the future may take me.”

"After attending junior college, it was my goal to find a university that offered a high quality of academic and baseball success, and I feel that I have found that with Belmont. With the experiences I am able to take away from Belmont, I feel that I am now ready to begin the next phase of my life, and I do not believe that every university can offer that for a student-athlete. It has been a privelege and an honor to represent Belmont as a student-athlete."

B e lm ont Unive r sit y
BELMONT UNIVERSITY | this is bu In the mid-1800s, Belmont University’s campus was known as Adelicia Acklen’s Belle Monte estate. The antebellum mansion remains today, flanked by university buildings separated in age by more than a century. The first educational institution on the estate was the original Belmont College (1890-1913), offering elementary school through junior college education to young ladies. The school merged with Ward Seminary to become the prestigious Ward-Belmont School for Women (1913-1951) and in 1951, became the coed Belmont College. In 1991, the college became Belmont University, and this year, began the 120th year of higher education on this site. Belmont continually reflects its rich heritage as it excels in academics. For 2010, U.S. News & World Report placed Belmont University for the first time in the top 10 of the best colleges and universities in the South in the magazine’s Master’s category. Perhaps even more notable than the recent No. 7 ranking, Belmont has stood out for two consecutive years as a U.S. News & World Report most cited “School to Watch,” one of the two most cited schools nationwide in this category. Belmont’s vision is to be a premier teaching university bringing together the best of liberal arts and professional education in a Christian community of learning and service. Belmont strives to empower men and women from diverse backgrounds to engage and transform the world with disciplined intelligence, compassion, courage and faith. Believing that every student is created for a purpose in life, Belmont encourages students to explore their passions and develop their talents to meet the world’s needs. Belmont’s boundaries continue to extend beyond the Nashville campus through its Cool Springs campus south of Nashville and organized programs such as the Washington Center program and music business’ Belmont West in Los Angeles and Belmont East in New York City. Study-abroad programs place students in China, Costa Rica, Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, South Africa and Spain. Belmont also serves as a regional site of the East-West Center for the Development of Asian Studies. Vital to the Belmont student experience are service learning, volunteerism and mission projects that invest in surrounding communities. Through the efforts of students and faculty, Belmont has touched lives in Nashville’s charitable organizations, its growing Hispanic community, area tutoring programs, neighboring businesses and mentoring programs, as well as inner-city and overseas mission projects, including trips to the Appalachian Mountains and the Ukraine.

Now entering his 14th year as Director of Athletics, Mike Strickland has led Belmont's Department of Athletics through its infancy stages as a new NCAA Division I program to become one that sees annual success on the field and in the classroom. During his tenure at Belmont, the program has expanded the number of teams it fields, joined the Atlantic Sun Conference, enhanced its facilities, and established a reputation producing winning teams and distinguished student-athletes. Since arriving in Nashville in 1996, Strickland has overseen the inception of six new sports at Belmont: women's soccer, women's golf and men's and women's indoor and outdoor track and field. In addition, the University has built the Frances Bond Davis Tennis Courts and the Whitten Soccer Complex, as well the most recent partnership with Metro Parks for athletic fields at Rose Park. This exciting new venture will house Belmont baseball, softball, soccer, and track & field. Two of the most important achievements of his tenure at Belmont are the acceptance of Belmont into the Atlantic Sun Conference and the opening of the Curb Event Center. During his tenure, Strickland has overseen a program expansion from 11 to 17 teams of competition, spearheaded membership into the Atlantic Sun Conference, spurred athletic facility enhancement and forged a reputation of producing winning teams and distinguished student-athletes. In 2008, Belmont became the first school in Atlantic Sun Conference history to represent the league in three consecutive NCAA Men's Basketball Championships. Adding conference championships in women's cross country, women's soccer and volleyball during the past academic year, Belmont Athletics has won a staggering 26 Atlantic Sun Conference Championships since becoming a member institution in 2001-02 - far and away the league standard. In addition, the school has hosted nine conference championships over the past five years, most recently the 2006 A-Sun Volleyball Championship. Strickland has taken a leadership role in the A-Sun serving as chairman of the tournament committee and presently serves as a member of the conference's membership committee. In addition to the program's success on the field, his tenure has seen the building of the exquisite Curb Event Center. The $52 million facility, which opened in the fall of 2003, has become the centerpiece of the athletics program. The complex houses a new 5,000-seat arena for basketball and
70 | 2010 Belmont Baseball Media Guide
volleyball, locker rooms for all sports, a training facility and weight room, as well as administrative offices for the Athletic Department. Off the field, the athletic department has made academic achievement the cornerstone of its definition of success. Belmont has won the Atlantic Sun Academic Trophy seven of the past eight years. The Bruins boasted over two-thirds of their student athletes with a grade-point average of 3.0 or better on a 4.0 scale during the past academic year. Belmont is the only school to win the trophy five straight times (2002-2006). Also of significance, Belmont has earned distinction from the NCAA in each of their Academic Progress Rate (APR) reports. Strickland brings varied years of experience to the program, including nine years as athletics director at Murray State University prior to coming to Belmont. While at Murray State, Strickland served on numerous Ohio Valley Conference committees as well as serving on the NCAA I-AA football advisory committee and the NCAA rifle committee. Prior to serving at Murray State, Strickland was an Associate Athletics Director at Wichita State University from 1983-87, where he was responsible for all business operations for the department. Strickland earned his bachelor's degree in political science from Georgia Southern University and a master's degree in public administration from the University of Georgia. In June of 2009, Strickland received the Under Armour National Assocation of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) Division I Southeast Region A.D. of the Year Award. Strickland was honored at the annual NACDA convention in Orlando, Fla. Strickland is married to the former Martha Thomas, an English instructor at Nashville State Community College. The couple has two children: Leanna Elizabeth, an undergraduate student at the University of Tennessee, and Sara Grace, a Belmont University graduate who is married to Jared Vaughn. In 2008, Mike and Martha celebrated two milestone events: their 35th wedding anniversary and the arrival of their first grandson, Jacob. In his leisure time, Mike enjoys travel, history, and spending time with his family.
senior woman administrator | BELMONT UNIVERSITY
Betty Wiseman Assistant AD/Senior Woman Administrator 43rd Year Belmont For five decades, Betty Wiseman has been an active figure at Belmont University. As a student, coach, and professor, Wiseman has been a great ambassador for the University and the Department of Athletics. As Assistant Athletic Director/Senior Woman Administrator, Wiseman advises the athletic department on the status of women's sports and conducts administrative tasks in relation to all sports. She serves as liaison between Athletics and Student Affairs, coordinates counseling, discipline, and all random drug-testing for athletes, and serves as advisor to Belmont’s Student-Athletes Advisory Committee. In addition, she works with teams as they participate in service opportunities throughout the year, including organizing and leading a yearly foreign mission trip with athletes to do Sports Evangelism overseas. Countries served through these trips include Poland, Portugal, Costa Rica, Brazil, Venezuela, and Ukraine. In May 2009 she will lead a team to Cape Town, South Africa. Wiseman also serves on many committees and boards. In 2008 she completed a four-year term as one of the Atlantic Sun Conference’s representatives on the NCAA Management Council. The Management Council serves as the main legislative body for Division I sports. She has been a member of many Atlantic Sun Conference committees. After graduating from Belmont in 1965, the Portland, Tennessee native was named as Associate Professor of Health and Physical Education in 1966 and began a teaching career of 40 years. She was named Professor Emeritus in the Department of Health and Human Performance in 2006 where she served as Chair for six years. In 1968 the former high school basketball standout began a new career as a women’s sports trailblazer when she founded the women’s basketball program at Belmont, one of the first programs, not only in the state, but in the southeast. Wiseman was the head women's basketball coach at Belmont for 16 seasons, compiling a 248-152 record. She led Belmont to four consecutive berths in the National Women's Invitational Tournament from 1973-1977. In those tournaments, her teams knocked off such programs as Alabama, Nebraska, and North Carolina. She was inducted into the Belmont Athletics Hall of Fame in 1981. Wiseman has been honored by several organizations for her contributions to collegiate athletics. In 1999 she was given the Josten-Berenson Service Award by the Women's Basketball Coaches Association during the NCAA Women’s Final Four in San Jose, California to recognize her lifelong
commitment to women's basketball. In 2003 Belmont honored her by naming part of the university’s new athletic facility the Striplin-Wiseman Athletic Office Complex. Finally, in 2004, Wiseman was inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame for her contributions to promoting women’s basketball in the state. She is the first Belmont coach or athlete to be so honored. In July 2007 she was featured in an article on the front page of The Tennessean, as a Tennessee Sports Legend. She is a member of Brentwood Baptist Church where she serves as Trustee, is a member of the adult choir, serves as a substitute teacher in Sunday School, and is an active missions volunteer.

BELMONT UNIVERSITY | facilities ATHLETIC TRAINING
INDOOR BASEBALL FACILITY
The Belmont Athletic Training staff is primarily responsible for the delivery of quality healthcare to all student athletes participating in intercollegiate athletic programs at Belmont University. This care will be provided by the guidelines of the NATA through prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries and illnesses sustained during any practice or game.
On April 29, 2003, the Bruins officially christened the new indoor facility during a ceremony in between games of the Tennessee-Martin doubleheader. The 100-by-60 foot indoor facility, which includes a state-of-the-art netting system in a climate controlled environment, allows for the Bruins to hold workouts through the cold winter months. Located on the Greer Stadium property, the project got off the ground with a major gift from local businessman and Belmont baseball supporter Jeff Powell. Belmont parents and alumni donated time and resources to finish off the facility which includes turf, heating, and screens.
The Belmont Athletic Training department is housed in an 1860 square foot space within the Curb Event Center. The facility, which opened in 2003, is fully-equipped with a hyrdoroom, taping area, treatment and rehabilitation area, as well as physician’s office. Belmont’s 17 varsity sports are staffed by eight National Athletic Training Association certified athletic trainers through Vanderbilt Sports Medicine.
STRENGTH & CONDITIONING Included in the Curb Event Center is a state-of-the-art weight room with a knowledgable and experienced strength and conditiong staff led by Josh McMillan. The 1600 square foot area offers several amenities for Belmont student-athletes including three power stations with customized platforms, customized dumbbells, a variety of free-weight and machines for speed, agility and plyometric exercises. By means of teamwork, experience, current research and education, the strength and conditioning staff challenges each athlete to prepare them for the highest level of competition. In order to promote a positive atmosphere, the strength and conditioning staff provide the athlete with a safe, clean and professional environment. Each program is individualized with the student-athlete’s sport in mind, focusing on weaknesses in order to prevent injuries to stay as competitive for as long as possible.
LOCKER ROOMS With the help of several donors, the baseball locker room has become a glorified living room, equipped with a big screen television, DVD player, VCR, and entertainment center. Every player has their own locker and the comfort of two leather couches to relax during rain delays.
Old Timers Baseball Facility at Shelby Park
74 | 2010 Belmont Baseball Media Guide
The facility itself features a netting system that allows for approximately four hitting tunnels and pitching areas. The facility was designed with versatility in mind as the entire complex could be disassembled and relocated should the Bruins move with the Sounds to a long anticipated downtown location.
SHELBY PARK Old Timers Baseball Facility at Shelby Park was originally built in 1914 and has been apart of Belmont baseball for decades as a practice facility and home field for select games. This season Shelby Park will host all of Belmont’s home games, ending an era at the Nashville Sounds’ Greer Stadium. Shelby Park is located off the Shelby Ave. exit on I-24 (Exit 49). Going East on Shelby Ave., take a right onto 5th Street and when 5th Street comes to a T, take a left onto Davidson Street. Follow Davidson Street into Shelby Park, past the golf course; Old Timers Baseball Facility at Shelby Park will be on your left.
atlantic sun conference | BELMONT UNIVERSITY For 30 years the Atlantic Sun Conference has stood for achievement with integrity in both the academic and athletic arenas, with a focus on the balance between the two for its studentathletes. The A-Sun consists of a blend of the Southeast’s most dynamic and prestigious private universities and public institutions in the region; the conference commits itself to Building Winners for Life. The experience for a student-athlete in the ASun is supported by the entire university community, from coaches to faculty, and from the CEOs to the athletic and academic support staff. With All-America selections, National All-Academic honorees, teams and individuals qualifying for and advancing in NCAA Championship play, Atlantic Sun student-athletes achieve at the highest levels of collegiate athletics. ACADEMIC SUCCESS Continuing a tradition of academic achievement, more than 57 percent of all student-athletes earned All-Academic status during the 2008-09 academic year. Fifteen student-athletes earned places on the 2008-09 CoSIDA/ESPN the Magazine Academic AllDistrict Teams. Belmont led the impressive institutional totals in the race for the AllAcademic Trophy for the seventh time in eight years with 66.5 percent of its the student-athletes achieving All-Academic status with grade point averages of a 3.00, or better. Belmont senior Andy Wicke, Jacksonville senior Jeremy Gillan, Lipscomb junior Kellie Sirus and Campbell senior Karlie Love earned spots on CoSIDA/ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America teams. Lipscomb’s men and women track and field teams and the women’s cross country team ranked among the top 10 GPAs in NCAA Division I, in being recognized as All-Academic Scholar Teams from the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association. The Belmont men’s cross country team posted the fifth-highest GPA, according to the USTFCCCA. Wicke, one of the Bruins’ most celebrated student-athletes, shared the conference’s male Scholar Athlete of the Year award and earned the conference’s Postgraduate Scholarship. Mercer’s Chereese Rowe earned the conference’s second Postgraduate Scholarship. Wicke earned national acclaim as he became one of just two men’s basketball players to receive an educational grant through the NCAA postgrad-
uate scholarship program. For his dedicated academic success and community service, Wicke landed on the Lowe’s All-Senior AllAmerica Second Team and was one of 10 finalists for the Lowe’s Senior Class Award. ATHLETIC SUCCESS For the second straight season, the A-Sun made early headlines on the hardwood as Mercer, under new head coach Bob Hoffman, went on the road and defeated Alabama and Auburn within a four-day span, shooting the Bears up to the top spot in the RPI. At the General Shale Brick Atlantic Sun Championship, ETSU ended Belmont’s three-year reign, winning its first A-Sun Tournament title and making the NCAA field for the eighth time. During the Championship, Courtney Pigram became just the second player in league history to reach the 2000-point plateau. Two players could reach that mark this season in Mercer’s James Florence and Campbell’s Jonathan Rodriguez. Florence and Campbell begin the season as the second- and third-highest active scorers in the nation. During the baseball season, three A-Sun hurlers, Lipscomb’s Rex Brothers and Kennesaw State’s duo of Chad Jenkins and Kyle Heckathorn moved up the draft boards of Major League teams with every dominating performance. Brothers turned in one of the league’s top single-season strikeout performances; Jenkins posted a 41-inning scoreless streak and Heckathorn capped his season with a dominating 15-strikeout performance against UNF, earning National Player of the Week honors. On draft night, Jenkins became just the seventh A-Sun player to be a first-round selection, going to the Blue Jays. In the supplemental phase of the first round, the Rockies picked Rex Brothers and the Brewers tabbed Heckathorn. In softball, the conference turned in one of its finest seasons in history, especially during the non-conference season. Against out-of-conference opposition, A-Sun schools posted a .602 win percentage, the fifth-highest in the nation, trailing only the SEC, Pac-10, ACC and Big 12. Five schools finished with win percentages better than .600 and FGCU and Mercer reached the 40-win mark. The Eagles established a league record for win percentage at .839 in posting a 47-9 record. For the second-consecutive May, Campbell emerged victorious at the A-Sun Championship, led by the dominating performance of MVP Brittany Stanley. She pitched all 31 innings, recorded two shutouts
and struck out 26 against only two walks. One of the most dominating athletes in Atlantic Sun history closed out her career in Jacksonville’s Natasha Harvey. She led the Dolphins team titles in both Indoor and Outdoor Track & Field for a fourth-straight year and won the inaugural MVP honors at both meets as well as the Most Outstanding Field Performer award. During her four years, she won a combined 18 individual events, five Most Outstanding Performer awards, both Most Outstanding Freshman performers in addition to the two MVP honors. Off the track, she won the A-Sun’s Female Student-Athlete of the Year Award, was the A-Sun’s nominee for the NCAA Woman of the Year Award and appeared on the U.S. Track & Field and cross Country Coaches Association All-Academic team for a fourth-straight year. The 2009-10 athletic year promises to be an exciting one for the Atlantic Sun as UNF and Kennesaw State earned full Division-I status and will be eligible for all postseason tournaments. FGCU’s champion volleyball and baseball programs and USC Upstate’s soccer and softball programs have also gained access to ASun and NCAA postseason play. For the first time in league history, Mercer and it’s University Center will play host to the General Shale Brick Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships. The Baseball Championship leaves Florida for the first time in 16 years for Nashville, Tenn. and Lipscomb’s Dugan Field. FGCU landed its first championship, and will host volleyball in November. These new additions and venues make the upcoming year a hotly anticipated season for the Atlantic Sun.
