From The Desk Of

HEAD COACH STEVE FARLEY Welcome To Butler baseball! What an honor it has been for me to be a part of this program for the past 18 seasons. Eleven Bulldog baseball coaches have gone before me, including Butler legend Tony Hinkle. Our current coaching staff and players will continue to work hard to uphold Butler’s winning tradition and to keep the program strong for those future players and coaches who will wear the Blue & White! During my tenure at Butler, I’ve seen Bulldog players travel to Australia to play in international competition. I’ve witnessed major facility upgrades, including a new press box, scoreboard, irrigation system and newest upgrade… an indoor hitting and pitching building. I’ve seen Butler players participate in community service projects, including serving meals to the homeless at Wheeler Mission and volunteering as mentors for local elementary school children. In my 18 years, I’ve coached well over 200 players. These student-athletes have led Butler to five regular season or conference tournament championships and two NCAA regionals. Former Bulldogs Pat Neshek (Twins) and Dan Johnson (Rays) are playing in the Major Leagues. Just as importantly, I’ve seen countless players graduate with a quality degree and move on to become successful doctors, lawyers, teachers and businessmen. While we will continue to set our sights on winning the Horizon League Championship and qualifying for the NCAA Tournament, our greater commitment will be to develop and prepare our student-athletes for a successful life after graduation. We anticipate that The Butler Way will follow them throughout their career, both on and off the field. I hope you enjoy this media guide. May it serve as a tool to familiarize you with our program and our proud heritage. When you review it, I think you will see why we are excited about Bulldog Baseball! Go Dawgs!
