Northwestern State Demon Baseball 2022
BOBBY BARBIER
Head Coach 11th Season at Northwestern State (Sixth as head coach) Northwestern State, 2006 Five seasons into his tenure as the head baseball coach at his alma mater, Bobby Barbier has left his imprint on Northwestern State baseball. From leading the Demons to the first Southland Conference Tournament championship in 2018 to coaching the first single-season trio of All-Americans in Demon baseball history, Barbier has added his own layer of shine to the decorated NSU program. Under Barbier’s tutelage, right-hander Levi David was drafted in the ninth round of the Major League Basebal First-Year Player Draft, marking the third straight season an NSU hurler has been picked in the first nine rounds of the draft. In 2020, right-handed pitchers Logan Hofmann (second-team Collegiate Baseball), Johnathan Harmon (Collegiate Baseball Freshman) and Kyle Swanson (third-team CoSIDA Academic) earned All-American honors . Depsite the COVID-19 shortened season, Hofmann led the nation in ERA (0.00) and struck out 38 batters in 28 innings, becoming a fifth-round draft pick of the Pittsburgh Pirates, giving NSU consecutive seasons with the highest drafted Southland Conference player. Behind that trio, the Demons ranked fifth nationally in team ERA (2.05), 10th in hits allowed per nine innings (5.97) and 12th in shutouts (3). All three totals led the Southland Conference. One year after engineering the largest single-season turnaround in program history – a jump of 18 wins – the Demons returned to the Southland Conference Tournament and produced a pair of Major League Baseball draftees for the second straight season. Right-handed pitcher Nathan Jones became the first top-five-round draft pick from Northwestern State since Mason Melotakis went in the second round in 2012. Junior shortstop Caleb Ricca then was tabbed by Seattle in the 23rd round, giving the Demons four draftees in the past two seasons. Jones (second team), Ricca (third team) and outfielder Tyler Smith (third team) were named All-Southland Conference in 2019, giving NSU nine all-league players in the first three years of the Barbier era. In 2018, en route to the Demons’ first NCAA Regional appearance since Barbier’s junior season of 2005, the Demons won 18 more games than they had the previous season and captured the first Southland Conference Tournament championship in program history. Northwestern State’s 38 victories were its most since 2005 when it won 41 games. Barbier’s even-keeled leadership style helped mold a roster that had 17 newcomers into a cohesive unit that scored the first NCAA Regional shutout in school history, a 9-0 whitewashing of San Diego State. The 2018 Demons enjoyed both team and individual success. Three Demons earned individual acclaim from both the Southland Conference and the Louisiana Sports Writers Association. Barbier was both organization’s Coach of the Year and earned the Central Region Coach of the Year award from the American Baseball Coaches Association. Catcher/first baseman David Fry was the Southland Conference’s Player of the Year and the LSWA’s Hitter of the Year while right-handed pitcher Jerry Maddox was both the Southland and LSWA Newcomer of the Year. Fry was named a third-team All-American by Collegiate Baseball Magazine, giving Northwestern State its second All-American in three seasons, joining Adam Oller, who earned the honor during Barbier’s term as the Demons’ pitching coach. That role was one Barbier resumed in 2018, and his impact was immediately meansudemons.com // @NSUDemonsBsB

surable. In addition to Maddox’ first-team All-Louisiana and second-team All-Southland Conference selections, fellow junior Ridge Heisler was a third-team all-conference selection. Overall, the Demons shaved more than two and a half runs from their ERA, pitching to a 3.41 mark in 2018. That number ranked 18th nationally and was 2.65 lower than the previous season. Following the Demons’ run to the NCAA Corvallis Regional, half of the NSU senior class heard its name called in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. Fry was a seventh-round selection by the Milwaukee Brewers while center fielder Kwan Adkins, a third-team All-SLC pick, was nabbed by the San Francisco Giants in the 30th round. Three-quarters of the NSU senior class reached professional baseball as pitcher Danny Hlad joined the Windy City Thunderbolts of the Frontier League following the season. During Barbier’s first season, Fry produced the first 20-double, 10-home run season in school history, earning first-team American Baseball Coaches Association/Rawlings All-South Central Region honors. Before becoming the 12th coach in the more than 100 years of Demon baseball history, Barbier spent two stints as an assistant coach with the Demons. He spent the 2015 and 2016 seasons helping the Demons craft two of the lowest ERAs in recent Northwetern State baseball history. The son of former Nicholls football coach Darren Barbier was an easy choice to succeed Lane Burroughs. In addition to helping guide ace Adam Oller to a pair of All-American selections, Barbier’s tutelage led the Demons staff to a 3.01 ERA that ranked ninth nationally.

#ForkEm Barbier vs. All Opponents
The Barbier family: Kody, Landry (center) and Bobby Barbier directed Oller to a season in which he went 8-1, posted a 1.23 ERA (third-lowest nationally) and earned Southland Conference Pitcher of the Year honors, along with All-American nods from Louisville Slugger/Collegiate Baseball magazine and the American Baseball Coaches Association. In his first season, Barbier helped the NSU staff post a 3.55 ERA while Josh Oller became the program’s first 10-game winner in 11 years and Brandon Smith tied the program record for single-season saves (10). The overall ERA marked an improvement of more than one run from 2014 and was the lowest mark since 2002 (3.54). Forming successful pitchers stood in opposition to what Barbier did while wearing a Demon uniform. Barbier, the 2006 Southland Conference Scholar Athlete of the Year, played four seasons for the Demons, finishing his career ranked in the top 10 in eight offensive categories. He remains second in NSU history in hit by pitches. Upon his arrival in Natchitoches that summer, Barbier began implementing and imparting his pitching system that debuted at Brown-Stroud Field that spring. After spending the 2007 season as a student assistant and the following two seasons as an assistant coach, Barbier joined former NSU head coach Mitch Gaspard’s staff at the University of Alabama, where he spent five seasons as the Crimson Tide’s third base coach. While at Alabama, Barbier coached five All-Southeastern Conference selections, including Academic All-American Taylor Dugas. Twelve Alabama players were selected in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft during Barbier’s Crimson Tide tenure. Barbier was part of a Crimson Tide coaching staff that led Alabama to four regional appearances from 2010-14, including the Atlanta Regional championship and a berth in the 2010 Clemson Super Regional. NCAA Regionals: 1991 • 1994 • 2005 • 2018 SLC Tournament Championships: 2018
Barbier’s responsibilities at Alabama included coaching outfielders, assisting with catchers and infielders, directing camps and scouting and being heavily involved in recruiting. Barbier also was the staff’s academic coordinator. Barbier was a key contributor on the field as Alabama’s defense set a school record for fielding percentage in 2011. During his first stint as a Demons assistant, Barbier coached NSU infielders and hitters as well as acting as the team’s base running coordinator. Under his tutelage, NSU led the Southland Conference in stolen bases with 99. Barbier also coordinated travel, field maintenance and team academics as an NSU assistant. In his Demons playing career, Barbier epitomized the term student-athlete. In addition to being awarded the Southland’s top individual academic honor, Barbier was a 2004 Academic All-American and a part of the 2005 Southland Conference All-Academic Team. On the field, Barbier saw the majority of his playing time at first base, earning honorable mention all-conference accolades in 2004 and first-team All-Southland honors in 2005, while helping lead NSU to the 2005 Southland Conference title and a berth in the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional. Even though his playing career ended more than a decade ago, the left-handed-hitting Barbier still ranks in the career top 10 in hit by pitches (2nd, 44), RBIs (4th, 130), games played (7th, 209), doubles (T-10th, 33), hits (10th, 181) and total bases (10th, 267). During his college career, Barbier laid the foundation for his future career, coaching American Legion ball for three years (2005-07) in Natchitoches and in Lafayette, directing each of his teams to regional tournament berths. Barbier earned his bachelor’s degree in health and human performance from Northwestern State in December 2006 and his master’s degree in 2008. He is married to the former Kody Sprout and the couple has one daughter, Landry.

CHRIS BERTRAND
Associate Head Coach Sixth Season at Northwestern State Louisiana College, 2005 There is little Chris Bertrand has not done in his first five years on the Northwestern State baseball coaching staff. Pitching coach? “Coach Bert” has done that. Coaching infielders? Check. Recruiting coordinator? Place another checkmark there. As he begins his sixth season with the Demons, Bertrand has another title — associate head coach — having added that notation in the summer of 2021. Bertrand’s steady hand has impacted various facets of the Demon program, including his Swiss army knife-like coaching ability. After two seasons coaching the Demon infielders, Bertrand shifted gears and took over tutoring the NSU catchers in 2020. In his second season on staff, Bertrand worked alongside head coach Bobby Barbier as his bench coach while tightening up the Northwestern State infield defense. Working with the NSU infielders for the first time, Bertrand helped craft a group that turned the second-most double plays in school history (70) and finished the season ranked second nationally in double plays per game (1.13) and third in total double plays. Bertrand did so while shuffling two key members of the Demons infield between second and third base. He also helped junior pitcher Ridge Heisler earn the pitcher’s spot on the Southland Conference All-Defensive Team as Heisler handled all 30 of his chances flawlessly while starting six double plays. In his first season on staff, Bertrand was the Demons’ pitching coach. Under Bertrand’s tutelage, senior right-hander Evan Tidwell worked a career-high 82 2-3 innings, allowing him to finish his career ninth in school history in innings pitched (241 2-3). Additionally, sophomore Cullen McDonald tossed two complete games, ranking 58th nationally. Prior to joining the Demons staff, Bertrand spent four seasons as the head coach at Texas-Tyler. In those four seasons, Bertrand guided the Patriots to a 119-69 record, three American Southwest Conference championships and three NCAA Division III Tournament appearances. “Chris has been a part of championship programs at every stop and will help us develop that championship culture here at Northwestern State,” head coach Bobby Barbier said. As the Patriots head coach, Bertrand mentored six all-region players in his final two seasons, including four in 2015, led by American Southwest Conference Newcomer of the Year Jaime Paxton. He also coached and recruited a number of players on the Patriots’ squad that captured the 2018 NCAA Division III College World Series championship. For their efforts, which included a 34-12 record and ASC regular-season and tournament championships, Bertrand and his staff were named the 2015 ASC Coaching Staff of the Year. Bertrand’s Patriots teams were familiar with success on and off the diamond. In his first season, Bertrand had 13 players named Academic All-ASC while 12 of his players earned All-ASC East Division honors, including East Division Player of the Year Kevan House. House was a firstteam All-Region selection that year while teammates Chance Cotton (second team) and Isaac Tijerina (third team) also earned all-region honors. In all, Bertrand coached 41 all-conference and eight all-region selections at UT Tyler. In addition to coaching at UT Tyler, Bertrand was the athletic department’s director of external marketing where he enhanced the game day experience for all Patriots athletics and enhanced the exposure and aesthetics of the UT Tyler athletic facilities. Prior to his tenure at UT Tyler, Bertrand spent seven seasons as the pitching coach and associate head coach at LSU-Shreveport, helping the Pilots reach the NAIA World Series in backto-back seasons (2011, 2012). His 2012 staff held the school records for shutouts (13) and ERA (3.10) until 2015. It still owns the school mark for strikeouts (476). Bertrand helped coach right-hander Jared Mortensen, a former Houston Astros farmhand, to first-team All-America honors in 2012 and tutored 10 first-team all-conference pitchers in his LSUS tenure. Bertrand also spent the summer of 2010 as the pitching coach for the Alexandria Aces of the Texas Collegiate League and three years as an associate scout for the Kansas City Royals. nsudemons.com // @NSUDemonsBsB

NSU: A COACHES’ PIPELINE TO SEC Northwestern State baseball has enjoyed a tremendous run of success in the past three decades, molded by head coaches and assistants who have climbed the ladder to the highest levels of college baseball. Entering the 2021 season, two of the 14 current head coaches in the Southeastern Conference, widely regarded as the toughest conference in college baseball, spent part of their careers on the Demons staff. Additionally, former Demons skipper Jim Wells helped build Alabama into a national power, leading the Crimson Tide to the 1996 College World Series championship game and was succeeded by Mitch Gaspard, who spent time at both Alabama and Georgia. The three current SEC coaches with Northwestern State ties have combined for a trio of College World Series appearances at their current schools. Van Horn led Nebraska to back-to-back CWS appearances in 2001 and 2002 before taking the Arkansas job between the 2002 and 2003 seasons. Additionally, former Demons skipper John Cohen is in his fourth year as the Mississippi State director of athletics, overseeing the department after eight years as the Bulldogs baseball coach, while current Demon head coach Bobby Barbier spent five seasons on Gaspard’s Alabama staffs.

Great Tradition • Brighter Future
Northwestern State Demon Baseball 2022
NORTHWESTERN STATE BASEBALL:
All-Americans. Conference championships. NCAA Regional appearances. All of the above have been part of the tradition that is Northwestern State baseball, a program that has made its share of headlines and memories in the last eight decades. NSU’s baseball tradition dates to 1912, when the first incarnation of the Louisiana Normal nine won 7 of its 11 games. With the exception of a 18-year gap from 19301948, the diamond Demons have written a legacy of success for the better part of a century. Individual accomplishments have blended into team success, creating a program that has enjoyed a run as one of the best in the Southland Conference in the last three decades. Numerous All-Americans have donned the Purple and White, beginning with Danny Turner in 1967 when the Demons competed at the NAIA level. Darryl Woods bridged the gap between the NCAA and NAIA eras, earning All-American honors after belting a school-record 19 home runs. Outfielder Terry Joseph was a two-time Academic All-American (1993, 1995) and ranks 9th in career batting average. Pitcher Reggie Gatewood was named a second-team All-American by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association in 1994 after posting an 11-3 record and a 2.14 ERA. Shortstop Ryan Anholt earned third-team All-American honors from the American Baseball Coaches Association in 1998 when he batted .417 with 15 home runs and 71 RBIs in his junior season. In recent years, pitcher Adam Oller (2016 ABCA, Collegiate Baseball), first baseman/catcher David Fry (2018 Collegiate Baseball) and pitcher Logan Hofmann (Collegiate Baseball) have added to the Demons’ All-American legacy. Four Demons pitchers have earned Freshman All-American honors – Kyle Broughton and Dereck Cloeren in 2005, Oller in 2014 and Johnathan Harmon in 2020. One of the most decorated runs in NSU baseball history began with its entrance into the Southland Conference, a league the Demons have called home for the past 32 seasons. In that time, the Demons have accumulated 53 first-team All-Southland Conference selections, eight Coach of the Year awards, five Pitcher of the Year honors, five Player of the Year nods, two Hitter of the Year awardees, nine Newcomer or Freshman of the Year winners and one Relief Pitcher of the Year. As a team, the Demons have captured 10 conference championships. Included in that grouping is a run of three straight SLC titles (1993-95) that has been accomplished by just two other Southland schoold. In 1991, coach Jim Wells’ Demons earned the first NCAA Regional berth in school history and were placed in the NCAA South II Regional in Baton Rouge. The Demons fell to eventual national champion LSU, 11-2, and were edged by UL Lafayette, 11-7. Three years later, Wells’ Demons earned another at-large bid and were placed in the Midwest I Regional in Stillwater, Okla. After dropping the opener to perennial national power Cal State Fullerton, 11-3, NSU earned its first NCAA Regional victory, as Gatewood overpowered Illinois State, 8-2. NSU fell to Memphis, 14-9, ending its season with a school-record 45 victories. Wells’ success led him to become the head coach at Alabama, ushering in a flood of NSU coaches who took control of Southeastern Conference programs. Currently, former NSU coaches are head coaches at Arkansas (Dave Van Horn), Mississippi State (John Cohen), Ole Miss (Mike Bianco) and Texas A&M (Rob Childress). The Demons’ decade of dominance continued in 1996 with two wins at eventual national champion LSU. Two years later, NSU notched its sixth Southland title and fourth 40-win season of the 1990s. NSU closed the decade with a 38-21 campaign in 1999. Included in that season were wins against LSU and UCLA. The Demons closed the decade with a .658 winning percentage, which ranked 23rd in the nation. The 2000s brought continued success with a seventh Southland title in 2001. That season, NSU defeated LSU, 10-8, in front of a record crowd of 4,214 screaming Demons fans at Brown-Stroud Field. NSU repeated as Southland champions in 2002, winning 43 games in Gaspard’s first season. The Demons cracked the national top 25 for the first nsudemons.com // @NSUDemonsBsB
Head coach Jim Wells was a pivotal figure in Demon baseball history, helping turn the team into a perennial Southland Conference title contender in the early 1990s. time in school history, reaching No. 23 in the Collegiate Baseball poll. NSU’s 2005 season was simply overpowering, as the Demons racked up 22 Southland wins and won the conference by five games, the largest margin in Southland history. NSU earned the third NCAA Regional trip in school history, traveling to Baton Rouge where it fell to nationally ranked Rice, 7-3, in its opening game before recovering to beat Marist, 4-3. NSU fell to state rival LSU, 12-4, in its next regional game. In 2010, NSU tied its school record for conference wins with 22 and added victories against nationally ranked Southern Mississippi and Texas A&M. Four Demons earned first-team All-Southland Conference honors and the conference named Chad Sheppard its Relief Pitcher of the Year. The next three seasons were uncharacteristically trying for the Demons, who nevertheless had three players drafted in 2012, including second-round pick Mason Melotakis (Minnesota). The hiring of Lane Burroughs, a Mississippi State assistant under Cohen, signaled a return to form for the Demons program. After going 16-40 in his first season, Burroughs

engineered a remarkable turnaround, winning 17 more games in his second season. NSU also authored the largest single-season turnaround in Southland Conference history, increasing its conference win total from 5 to 19. The follow-up season included another improvement as NSU bumped its winning percentage from .559 to .574 and saw outfielder Cort Brinson earn Southland Conference Hitter and Student-Athlete of the Year honors. In 2016, Oller was one of three Demons drafted (Nick Heath, Daniel Garner) from an NSU team that won its final 10 Southland Conference games of the year, setting a school record for consecutive conference victories, one that remains active entering the 2017 season. Former NSU Academic All-American Bobby Barbier took the reins of his alma mater’s program prior to 2017 and began putting his stamp on the program. A tough 2017 season as a team had its highlights, including Fry’s ABCA First-Team All-South Central Region selection. A year later, Barbier’s charges did what no other Demons team ever accomplished — winning the Southland Conference Tournament championship. NSU swept the event in four straight games behind an MVP performance from Fry and advanced to the Corvallis Regional where it went 1-2, notching the program’s first NCAA Regional shutout, a 9-0 blanking of San Diego State. Fry was named the Southland Conference Player of the Year and All-Louisiana Hitter of the Year while pitcher Jerry Maddox earned Southland and All-Louisiana Newcomer of the Year honors. Barbier picked up Southland and All-Louisiana Coach of the Year acclaim as well as the ABCA Central Region Coach of the Year award. In June, Fry (7th round, Milwaukee) and outfielder Kwan Adkins (30th round, San Francisco) became Major League Baseball draftees. The 2018 Demons won 18 more games than the 2017 team, marking the largest single-season jump in program history. Barbier continued to burnish Northwestern State’s player development reputation, producing two more draft picks — right-handed pitcher Nathan Jones (5th round, New York Mets) and shortstop Caleb Ricca (23rd round, Seattle) — in 2019. Even in a pandemic-shortened 2020 season, Barbier’s Demons made school history. Hofmann went 4-0 with a 0.00 ERA in 28 innings, earning second-team All-American honors before being drafted in the fifth round by the Pittsburgh Pirates. Hofmann was part of a trio of Demon pitchers who earned All-America honors, marking a first for the program. Right-hander Johnathan Harmon was a Freshman All-American selection by Collegiate Baseball magazine while closer Kyle Swanson earned Third-Team CoSIDA Academic All-American honors, giving the Demons their first single-season All-American trifecta in program history. In 2021, the Demons continued their draft success as right-hander Levi David was selected by the New York Mets in the ninth round. Second baseman Daunte Stuart extended the Demons’ Freshman All-American streak to two, earning honors from Collegiate Baseball magazine.

Jerry Pierce
Vice President • External Affairs Only a couple of people have served Northwestern State as long as alumnus Jerry Pierce has, and nobody has done so in a more understated manner. In his 56th year on the university’s staff, Pierce’s impact on NSU and the city of Natchitoches is indelible. He’s never wanted or gotten top billing, but consistently, he gets results to benefit the university. He is in his 30th year as vice president of external affairs at Northwestern. A significant aspect of his job is oversight of intercollegiate athletics. Pierce works closely with athletic director Greg Burke and all NSU coaches and staff members to keep NSU Athletic Council Northwestern athletics competing at a chamJody Biscoe (Chair) pionship level week after week, month after Dr. Landon Amberg month and year after year. Tamara Baxter During NSU’s 2018 Homecoming celebraKatrice Below Maggie Black (Student-Athlete) tion, Pierce was honored at the N-Club Hall of Scott Burrell Fame ceremony, becoming only the second Ruth Chatman person to receive the “Leadership Award” Ricky LaCour Dr. Begona Perez-Mira from the organization of former NorthwestDr. Terrie Poehl ern athletic letterwinners. Randi Washington Pierce, an avid tennis player, has been a Peyton Weeks Brian White (Student-Athlete) member of USTA teams that have won more Ex-Officio Members than a dozen state championships, five reKevin Bostian gional titles and one national championship. Dustin Eubanks Well before moving into the executive Dr. Marcus Jones Lisa Methvin position, Pierce had already served his alma Kaitlyn McCanna mater, adopted hometown and state with Dr. Patrice Moulton distinction. In his role as vice president, he Dr. Vicki Parrish Jerry Pierce oversees university operations in athletics, alumni and development, public and media relations and assists President Dr. Chris Maggio in governmental affairs activities. Many of those duties were his since the 1970s as he worked under six previous presidents as Northwestern advanced from NAIA to NCAA College Division to NCAA Division I athletic status in 1977. A 1961 graduate of Northwestern, Pierce served as trainer/manager for the Demon football team during his college years, working closely with legendary coach Jack Clayton. After earning his journalism degree, Pierce went to work for the New Orleans Times Picayune, serving as a reporter and editor. He was named executive sports editor at the age of 24. In 1965, he chose to raise his two sons in Natchitoches and returned to NSU as sports information director. He was promoted to news bureau director two years later and assumed additional responsibilities in athletics, alumni affairs and other areas through the years. NCAA Regionals: 1991 • 1994 • 2005 • 2018 SLC Tournament Championships: 2018
He created, in 1972, the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame facility in Prather Coliseum on the NSU campus, providing a home for an entity founded by the Louisiana Sports Writers Association in 1958. He established annual induction activities that remain in place nearly five decades later, serving as director of the Hall for 19 years until his promotion to vice president in April 1990 forced him to step aside from the volunteer post. He helped guide Northwestern into three athletic conferences (Trans America, 1979; Gulf Star, 1983; Southland, 1987) and NCAA Division I status in 1977. He is a past president of the Southland and has served the conference through other offices and committee positions. In 1994, he was named one of Louisiana’s 20 most influential sports figures by the Times-Picayune. Also on the list were New Orleans Saints owner Tom Benson, LSU athletic director Joe Dean and basketball coach Dale Brown, and Grambling football coaching legend Eddie Robinson. His salesmanship and managerial skills were instrumental in convincing Tri-Star Productions to film the 1989 smash hit movie “Steel Magnolias,” with an all-star cast including Julia Roberts, Sally Field and Dylan McDermott in Natchitoches and on the NSU campus. The movie’s impact on tourism in Natchitoches continues to resonate nearly three decades later. Pierce is regarded as one of the most effective legislative liaisons for Louisiana’s higher education system. He has been also a master of ceremonies and speaker who has enlivened hundreds of events since 1965. In addition to his administrative responsibilities, Pierce is a tenured member of the Journalism Department faculty. He is the author of one book and editor of two others and has written thousands of editorials, columns, features and other articles for newspapers and magazines. Pierce and his wife Regina, a retired teacher and also a tennis buff, live on Cane River Lake in Natchitoches. He has two sons, Randy and Rick, both NSU graduates; three grandchildren, twins Evan and Amanda, and Miranda; and two great-grandchildren. He has two adult stepchildren, Nicholas and Natalie. He’s a doting “Poppy” to Natalie’s preschool daughters.
