What it means to
be a bison “... the pursuit of athletics in college need not interfere with a fellow’s studies, and if you give a boy a well developed body his brain will get the benefit of it.” — Christy Mathewson in his book Won in the Ninth, written in 1910
The term “student-athlete” signifies something extraordinary on the campus of Bucknell University. Being a Bison means that you have the rare blend of physical skills along with the drive and passion needed to succeed at the highest level of collegiate athletics. Being a Bison also means that you are a scholar first and foremost. You believe that values associated with Division I athletics, such as time management, leadership, teamwork and grace under pressure, are but a part of a well-rounded college experience. At Bucknell, our students, faculty and staff pride themselves as national leaders in upholding the scholar-athlete ideal that balances a challenging academic program with the demands of successful Division I athletics. Being a Bison means that you have pledged to be a studentathlete in the purest sense. In doing so, you will be rewarded for a lifetime.

Bucknell Bison Athletics
A nAtionAl Model in ProMoting the scholAr-Athlete ideAl Bucknell Athletics is first and foremost a student-centered organization, one that strives to be a national leader when it comes to operating by a true scholar-athlete model. At Bucknell, student-athletes’ academic programs are their first priority, and providing a competitive Division I athletics program only advances the mission, values and residential learning goals of the university. To that end, the Department of Athletics and Recreation proactively seeks ways to assist student-athletes in their daily academic pursuits. Below are just some of the student-athlete support programs currently in place. FACULTY ATHLETICS REPRESENTATIVE: The faculty athletics representative (FAR) is a member of the faculty or administrative staff who is designated to represent Bucknell in its relationships with the NCAA and the Patriot League. Bucknell’s FAR is Mitch Chernin, Professor of Biology. The FAR can enhance the student-athlete experience by promoting a balance between academics, athletics and the social lives of student-athletes, which affords them opportunities to enjoy the full range of collegiate experiences available to students generally. SIDELINE COACH PROGRAM: This program is a truly unique initiative in Division I college athletics, and it involves the invitation of a member of the faculty, administration, staff or community by one of Bucknell’s 27 varsity teams. The participant has the opportunity to discuss the overall program with the respective coaching staff, including practice preparation and strategy for the upcoming contest. The sideline coach attends a practice session and an actual intercollegiate competition, where he/she is introduced to the team and gains rarely seen insight into the relationships that exist between player-coach and player-player. The purpose of the Sideline Coaches Program is to foster a better understanding by the faculty and administration of the roles played by coaches and athletes in the university’s competitive intercollegiate athletic arena. ACADEMIC ENHANCEMENT CENTER: In the Fall of 2005, the Department of Athletics opened a study/computer lab for student-athletes on the concourse level of Sojka Pavilion. The center is outfitted with computers, a laser printer, four television monitors and a projection unit with computer, VCR and DVD player. Additionally, the study lab can be used as a meeting place for group projects, tutorial area or just a secluded and quiet study space before or after practice. LAPTOP PROGRAM: The Department of Athletics owns a number of laptop computers that may be signed out by student-athletes for use on away trips. STUDENT-ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAAC): Representatives from each varsity team comprise the SAAC, which is designed to enhance the total student-athlete experience by promoting opportunity, protecting student-athlete welfare, and fostering a positive student-athlete image. The Committee is an invaluable resource for promoting communication between athletics administration and student-athletes; promoting communication between athletics and campus-wide administration; providing feedback and insight, as well as soliciting responses into department issues and proposed NCAA legislation; building a sense of community within the athletics program involving all athletics teams; organizing community service projects and efforts; creating a vehicle for student-athlete representation on campus-wide committees; serving as a collective voice of campus student-athletes; and disseminating information to the student-athlete body. BUCKNELL BISON LEADERSHIP ACADEMY: In 2011-12, the Department of Athletics launched the Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy. As part of a Patriot League-wide leadership initiative, this program is designed to help student-athletes learn how to be effective leaders on and off the playing fields. The Leadership Academy features programming and instruction that bridge theory, development and real experiences in an interactive learning environment. Through this endeavor, team leaders can enhance their impact on their teammates’ and their program’s performance immediately and for years to come.

Season Outlook Bucknell posted a 16-33 record and advanced to the Patriot League Tournament for a fifth time in six years in 2013, but the season could have been much more successful with just one more run here or another out there. Thirteen of the Bison’s losses were by one run and 21 were by three or fewer runs. Six of their 10 Patriot League losses were decided by one run. Those numbers bode well for the upcoming season as Bucknell must make just a slight improvement to see a drastic difference in its win total. “One of the things I was most proud of last year was how we stayed with it and kept competing,” mentioned second-year head coach Scott Heather. “Our offensive numbers weren’t as strong as we would like them and we lost a lot of close games. The things we need to be better at — scoring runs and finishing up games from a bullpen standpoint — led to all the close losses. “We learned we have to have an even tougher mentality in terms of competing. We are a year older in a lot of areas this season and have good young talent. Getting the hits with guys in scoring position is key for us in taking that next step.” Heather, a 2003 graduate of Arkansas and a former professional pitcher, last year had the benefit of a familiarity with the program, having been Depew’s top assistant for eight years. Despite that, there was still an adjustment as he took over the program. “The second year in everything leads to a better comfort level for both me and the players,” said Heather, who was an assistant on two Bison NCAA Tournament teams. “We saw benefits of that this fall. We weren’t trying to implement new things. It was just about being better at the things we want to improve upon.” After playing just 13 home games last spring, Heather has lined up a challenginghome slate that features 20 games at Depew Field, including three Patriot League weekend series and a doubleheader against Penn State. The Bison will also host Niagara in a four-game series in March, St. Bonaventure in a late-April doubleheader and make their annual Spring Break trip to Florida. The campaign will open

At least 20 wins in five of last six years with a three-game series at recent two-time NCAA champion South Carolina. Bucknell is poised to have a strong 2014 season as three-fourths of its starting rotation returns for a second straight year and a veteran outfield group will provide punch at the plate. The Bison, who are expected to be strong both on the mound and on defense once again, will have three new starters in the infield, though, with the graduation of stalwarts Travis Clark (2B), Robb Scott (SS) and Carter Bumgardner (3B). PITCHING STAFF: Heather, who spent eight years as Bucknell’s pitching coach, and current pitching coach Jason Neitz have plenty of talented arms at their disposal in 2014, including returning starting pitchers Dan Weigel, Bryson Hough and Andrew Andreychik. Weigel, a senior, and Hough, a junior, enter their third years as members of the weekend rotation, while sophomore Andreychik moved into the No. 4 starter role midway through last season and excelled. The durable trio combined for nine wins and 130 strikeouts in 205.1 innings in 2013. “Our frontline starting pitching is as good as anyone’s in the league,” remarked Heather. “Our pitching will carry us once again and each of our starters give us the chance to win every time out.” Weigel, a tall lefty who averages just two walks per nine innings to rank among the program’s all-time leaders, led the Bison in wins (6) and ERA (3.01) as a sophomore and was still solid last year as he allowed opponents to hit just .277. He ranked in the top 10 in the Patriot League in innings, starts, strikeouts and ERA. “Dan had a productive summer in the Northwoods League and has continued to get stronger,” said Heather. “He worked hard in the offseason and is in good position to again be a workhorse for us.” The right-handed Hough put together a second consecutive strong campaign last spring as he allowed three or fewer earned runs in nine of his 11 starts and struck out 39 in 73.2 innings. “Bryson has improved in a number of areas, including his velocity and upgrading his secondary pitches,” praised Heather. “I am excited to see him take the next step. He has been a productive pitcher for us the last two years, but I think there is room for even more out of him this season.” The 2013 Patriot League Rookie of the Year, Andreychik was tied for the team lead with four wins a year ago and was the only Bison hurler to finish above .500. He moved into the starting rotation prior to the start of Patriot League play and finished eighth in the conference with a 3.73 ERA. “Andrew has continued to be solid,” mentioned Heather about the right-hander that recorded Bucknell’s first shutout by a freshman since at least 1979. “In addition to helping us on the mound, he is also looking to contribute in the field this year, perhaps at second base or designated hitter. He swings the bat well and is a good athlete and competitor at the plate.” With the graduation of Dan Goldstein, there is an opening in the weekend rotation and there are plenty of options. Among the
Xavier Hammond frontrunners is junior lefty Xavier Hammond, who has logged 56.2 innings in 28 appearances his first two seasons, mostly out of the bullpen. “Xavier is going to have a huge role on our staff and he’s a guy that has probably improved the most, both physically and mentally,” said Heather. “He had a great summer for the Allentown Railers in a relief role and he is a candidate to start or relieve for us.” Sophomore Max Kra, who admirably filled the closer role a year ago, and second-year junior Jonathan Lucas, who logged a 1.93 ERA in four appearances in his first season, are the other main candidates for the final starting spot. “The starting rotation will be dictated by results and what we think is best for the team moving forward,” noted Heather. Junior right-hander Tucker Rekucki, who has lowered his arm slot, and senior Tom Hrabchak, a former Bison catcher now in his second year as a full-time pitcher, will look to increase their roles in the bullpen. Heather sees Rekucki as a potential closer candidate, while Hrabchak will fill a setup role in key situations. Junior Jordan Holtz and sophomores Austin Zimmerman and Dan Keller will also battle for innings out of the bullpen. Five freshman pitchers will also try to secure roles on the talented staff. Heather noted that right-hander Austin Marcus probably has the most upside among the rookies due to his velocity touching 90 miles per hour, while fellow right-hander Tommy Gambon has a good arm and quality breaking pitch. Lefty Mike Castellani is expected to be a good option to get out left-handers and fellow southpaw Danny Rafferty is a two-way player who can consistently throw his breaking ball for strikes. He will also have the chance to see some time in the outfield. Walk-on Jack Schoenberger gives another option from the left side out of the bullpen. CATCHER: Team co-captain Justin Meier is expected to hold down the starting catcher position for a second consecutive year. The senior started 21 of 22 games against Patriot League foes and was fifth on the squad with

More than 50 majors and 65 minors
Joe Ogren seven multi-hit outings. More importantly, he had no errors over his final 21 games played. “Justin looks as comfortable playing the game as he ever has,” praised Heather. “He will be one of our main contributors offensively and he does a nice job behind the plate.” Sophomore Jon Mayer was solid in 12 starts a year ago, but missed the final month with an injury. He returns healthy this spring and will provide some power at the plate both at the catcher and designated hitter positions. Binghamton transfer Jake Archey, who sat out last year due to NCAA rules, is eligible this year and will add depth at catcher. FIRST BASE: Rob Krentzman has been Bucknell’s primary starter at first base the last two seasons, but he is expected to move across the diamond to his more natural third base spot. Battling for the starting position will be senior Luke Lombardi and freshman Carter Austin. Lombardi has appeared in 41 games over his first three years, while Austin comes to Bucknell after being picked in the 28th round of the 2013 Major League Baseball Draft by the Cincinnati Reds. "Luke has plenty of experience and works hard and I expect him to contribute to our success this season," noted Heather. “I like Carter’s potential to drive in runs and hit the ball with authority,” remarked Heather. “He swings from the left side and does a good job of driving the ball to all fields and is an accomplished hitter at a young age.” SECOND BASE: Second base is one of the most unsettled positions for the Bison. Heather mentioned Andreychik, sophomore Joe Ogren, who spent much of 2013 in the outfield, and freshmen Alex O’Neill and Mark Powell are the ones being evaluated to replace three-year starter Travis Clark. “Our approach is to get our best nine on the field,” explained Heather. “We have a lot of guys with some versatility that can play different positions. All those guys are very competitive and brings something to the table. I can see us doing a variety of things at second base.” SHORTSTOP: After serving as the primary backup to the graduated Robb Scott the last two years, junior Greg Wasikowski is poised to move into the regular starting lineup at shortstop. “Greg had a quality fall, especially defensively, and makes all the plays for us,” praised Heather. “He is ready to step into that role and provide some leadership.”
www.BucknellBison.com
Season Outlook In addition to battling for playing time at second base, Andreychik, Ogren, O’Neill and Powell will be in the mix to provide depth at shortstop behind Wasikowski. THIRD BASE: Krentzman hasn’t played at third base during his Bison career, but is expected to move back to the position he manned during his high school days. The twoyear starter at first base has 54 hits and 33 RBIs over his first two seasons. “Rob is recovering from a hip injury, but he’s going to get a look at third,” commented Heather. “We expect him to make the transition.” Senior Will Mooney is an excellent athlete who played third base during the fall season and he will receive a chance to win the starting spot. Left-handed hitting freshman Sam Clark will also be in the mix. OUTFIELD: The Bison outfield features a number of familiar names, including the team’s lone returning All-Patriot League selection in senior Corey Furman. Furman became a regular member of the lineup for the first time last year and led the squad in hitting (.291). He is a team co-captain along with Meier. “Corey is a guy who swings the bat really well,” praised Heather. “He played center field and designated hitter for us last year, but I can see him playing any of the outfield positions this season.” Fellow senior Brett Ashley will have a chance to break into the lineup after mostly serving as a powerful pinch hitter his first three campaigns. Junior Anthony Gingerelli joined the team for the first time in 2013 and had a breakout year, finishing second on the club with a .284 average. He split time between DH and left field and Heather expects his left-handed bat to be in the lineup. Heather calls Ogren one of the team’s best hitters and expects him in the lineup somewhere, whether it is at second base or the outfield. Sophomore Ryan Otis was in the mix for the starting center field job last year, but suffered a season-ending injury on the second weekend of the campaign. “Ryan did a good job this fall as a catalyst for us,, fighting to get on base and then creating pressure with his speed and aggressiveness” remarked Heather about the speedy center fielder. “He, (freshman) Brett Smith and (sophomore) Tommy Pennington give us the most speed in the outfield.” A three-sport star in high school, Smith was the team’s Fall World Series MVP, while Pennington does a solid job of running the bases and putting pressure on opponents with his speed. “These guys are all competing for playing time. It’s fairly open for competition,” said Heather. “We’re hoping to give guys some opportunities to develop and grow into roles by the end of spring break and then have our main lineup at that point. Our guys know that is the case and they are all competing for playing time, which has made each day productive for us because they all feel like that have a chance to play and it is up to them how well they do.”

Scott Heather #34 Head Coach | 16-33 Second Season Arkansas ’03 Scott Heather was named the head coach of the Bucknell baseball program on June 18, 2012, succeeding the retiring Gene Depew. Heather spent the previous eight years as an assistant coach at Bucknell, helping the Bison to a pair of Patriot League Tournament titles and NCAA appearances. A former pitcher at the University of Arkansas, Heather served as the pitching coach during the first eight years of his tenure at Bucknell. Under his direction, the Bison pitching staff posted an ERA of under 4.50 on three occasions. The staff had a 4.30 ERA in 2006, marking the team’s lowest since 1983 (4.10), and it ranked fourth in the Patriot League with a solid 4.65 ERA last spring. During his tenure as pitching coach, Heather tutored a number of outstanding hurlers, including 2011 Patriot League Pitcher of the Year Ryan Ebner. Additionally, Heather oversaw the development of 2008 graduates Jason Buursma and Mathew Wilson. Those two former Bison claimed back-to-back Patriot League ERA titles, while Buursma earned a pair of First Team All-Patriot League selections as a relief pitcher. Wilson, who was the 2007 Patriot League ERA champion, broke the school record for career shutouts and pitched a complete-game shutout against nationally ranked Florida State in the 2008 NCAA Tournament. Heather has had the opportunity to see Bison pitchers selected in three Major League Baseball Drafts since his arrival in Lewisburg in August 2004. Buursma was drafted in 2007 (42nd round by Seattle Mariners) and 2008 (25th round by St. Louis Cardinals), while Kyle Walter was selected in the 18th round of the 2006 draft by the Toronto Blue Jays. In addition to his duties with the Bucknell pitching staff, Heather served as the program’s recruiting coordinator and assisted with all fundraising projects during his time with the Bison. Prior to his stint as an assistant at Bucknell, Heather served as an assistant coach at Arkansas-Fort Smith from 1999 to 2004. Heather began his playing career at Arizona Western College in

About Bucknell
Bucknell Athletics Mission statement The Department of Athletics and Recreation strives to set the standard of excellence for intercollegiate and intramural programs in higher education, thereby advancing and drawing attention to the mission, core values, and educational goals of Bucknell University. The Department believes that student-athletes’ academic programs must be their first priority. It is therefore committed to maintaining Bucknell’s high national ranking for student-athletes’ graduation rates and for producing Academic All-Americans, and to continued leadership of the Patriot League in Academic Honor Roll nominations, based on grade-point averages. The coaches’ and staff’s paramount responsibility is maintaining academic priorities and supporting student-athletes’ education, even while providing the rigorous and serious NCAA Division I athletic opportunities Bucknell studentathletes seek. Further, the Department promotes the personal growth of student-athletes and the general student body by encouraging personal health, development, and balance among intellectual, social, civic, and physical pursuits; by celebrating challenge and competition; and by preparing participants for service and leadership in the world. Coaches and staff direct a rich array of athletic programs and recreational opportunities aimed at increasing student engagement, as well as strengthening character, healthy living, teamwork, sportsmanship, and spirit. In creating shared experiences for students, faculty, and staff, as well as alumni, family, and friends, the Department’s programs add substantially to Bucknell’s sense of community and foster life-long relationships with Bucknell. The Department embraces the University’s decision to compete at the highest extramural level, in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Division I membership is valuable not only because this level of competition maximally challenges student-athletes, but also because it signals clearly Bucknell’s high standards and seriousness of purpose in all extracurricular endeavors and it helps position Bucknell apart from other National Liberal Arts Colleges. Likewise, the competitive success the Department seeks, measured in part by consistent contention for the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup, reflects positively upon Bucknell’s student-athletes and the University alike, and it brings distinction and national recognition to Bucknell. A student-centered operation, the Department is committed to providing equitable opportunities to women and men, as well as members of minority and majority groups of all kinds. The Department subscribes to, and complies with, all principles and regulations of the Patriot League, the Eastern College Athletic Conference, and the NCAA. The department is proud that so many of today’s exemplary Bison scholar-athletes will be tomorrow’s outstanding leaders.
