2012 APPALACHIAN STATE BASEBALL BEAVER FIELD AT JIM AND BETTIE SMITH STADIUM Located behind the Broyhill Inn and Conference Center on the ASU campus, Beaver Field at Jim and Bettie Smith Stadium has been the home of Appalachian State University baseball since 2007. Construction on Smith Stadium began in fall of 2006 and was completed in three phases. The Beaver Field playing surface, along with team dugouts and the indoor hitting and pitching facility, were completed in the spring of 2007, allowing the Mountaineers to host 12 games at its new home that season — including a 6-1 victory over Gardner-Webb in the first contest ever played at the facility on April 10, 2007. Prior to the 2008 campaign, the stadium’s 1,000 permanent seats were erected and the Apps played their entire home slate at the ballpark, posting a 13-11 mark at home. The squad capped their first full season at Smith Stadium with wins in eight of their final nine home contests of the season, including a three-game sweep of first-place Furman in May. Construction wrapped up at the sparkling new baseball palace prior to the 2009 season, giving Appalachian one of the nation’s finest collegiate baseball facilities for both players and fans. The new digs have proved to provide the Mountaineers with one of the nation’s top home-field advantages, as they are 79-41-1 (.657) all-time at the facility, including a a string of 19-straight wins from March 22, 2009-March 20, 2010 that was the nation’s longest home winning streak until it was snapped nearly a full year after it began. Amenities of the $5 million ballpark include: • FIELDTURF PLAYING SURFACE which allows for the field to play the same no matter the conditions and for games to be played following weather that would leave most natural surfaces unplayable. • ONE OF THE NATION’S FINEST CLUBHOUSE FACILITIES which features: • a roomy players locker area with lockers and showers for 35 players, two flat-screen televisions and state-of-the art surround sound system. • coaches offices and locker room, each of which also include flat-screen televisions. • a full-service training room, complete with hydro-therapy station and flat-screen television. • a reception lounge for guests with leather furniture and flat-screen television. • INDOOR HITTING AND PITCHING stations to allow for year-round training. • PERMANENT
FACILITY which includes two full batting cages and pitcher’s mounds and multiple individual hitting and pitching skills
SEATING FOR 1,000 and grass seating to accommodate thousands more.
•
LIGHTS which introduced NIGHT BASEBALL to ASU’s campus for the first time.
•
PRESS BOX, CONCESSIONS AND SOUVENIRS BUILDING that also doubles as a grand entrance to the stadium complex from the parking level.
• DAKTRONICS SCOREBOARD AND MESSAGE and entertained before, during and after the game.

For the 13th-straight season, Mountaineer baseball can be heard in 2012 exclusively on the Appalachian IMG Sports Network. The “Voice of the Mountaineers” David Jackson and legendary ASU coach Jim Morris will call the action for 26 regular-season games and all Mountaineer postseason action. All 26 broadcasts can be heard on WATA 1450 AM in Boone and worldwide at www.GoASU.com. Jackson is in his 13th year as the play-by-play voice for Appalachian football, men’s basketball and baseball. In 2007, Jackson’s peers in the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association voted him as the North Carolina Sportscaster of the Year. He was honored alongside broadcasting stars such as Jim Nantz and the late Harry Kalas at the NSSA’s annual awards banquet in Salisbury, N.C. in May 2008. In addition to his play-by-play duties, the 34-year-old Jackson serves as ASU’s associate athletics director for external affairs. Morris is in his fourth year as the network’s baseball analyst. He served as Appalachian’s head coach from 1974-98, compiling a 611-475-1 overall record in his 25 seasons at the helm. Morris led the Mountaineers to five Southern Conference championships and two of ASU’s three all-time NCAA postseason appearances in 1984 and ‘86. His 1984 squad led the nation in regular-season winning percentage (35-5) and the ‘86 Apps were the first team in SoCon history to earn an at-large bid to the NCAA Regionals. During his 25-year tenure, he coached six all-Americans, five SoCon Players of the Year, one SoCon Pitcher of the Year and three SoCon Freshmen of the Year and was named the 1984 SoCon Coach of the Year. ASU baseball retired his No. 41 jersey on Oct. 11, 1998. Each broadcast begins 20 minutes prior to first pitch with pregame interviews and the latest news and insight into Mountaineer baseball. Following each contest, be sure to stay tuned for a full postgame wrapup, including an interview with head coach Chris Pollard. David Jackson

2012 APPALACHIAN STATE BASEBALL SEASON PREVIEW ielding one of its most veteran-laden teams ever, Appalachian State University baseball carries perhaps its highest expectations in almost three decades into the much-anticipated 2012 campaign. Already riding a string of five-straight 30-win seasons (its longest 30-win streak since 1982-86) and back-toback Southern Conference Tournament semifinal appearances, Appalachian has its sights set on winning its first conference championship since 1987 and returning to the NCAA regional for the first time since 1986. The quests for a long-elusive conference title and postseason berth are buoyed by the return of 8-of-9 members from the starting lineup and 4-of-5 starting pitchers from last year’s 33-27 club. Highlighting the slew of returnees, ASU brings back all three members of its weekend pitching rotation from a year ago, a trio that combined for 19 victories in 2011. The staff is headlined by preseason all-Southern Conference honoree Ryan Arrowood, who went 8-3 with a 2.96 ERA, 83 strikeouts and just 31 walks in 94.1 innings pitched last year. The Mountaineers also lost just one member of its starting lineup from last season and return 81 percent of its hitting and 84 percent of its run production from a year ago. ASU’s lineup will likely feature five seniors, three juniors and a sophomore on a regular basis. The prognosticators have taken notice of ASU’s returning talent, as the Apps led all schools with five preseason all-SoCon honorees. Despite the fact that Appalachian has not reached its goals of winning a SoCon championship and advancing to NCAA postseason play in a quarter of a century, head coach Chris Pollard has not tried to temper the expectations for his veteran squad. “We feel like we are solid in terms of both our pitching staff and up and down our lineup,” Pollard said. “Like every team at Appalachian State, our goal is to win a Southern Conference championship and we feel
F
like that is an attainable goal. However, due to the fact that we play in one of the top baseball conferences in America, we feel like we can also be in contention for a regional berth by playing to our ability throughout the season, regardless of what happens at the end of May in Greenville (at the SoCon Tournament).” PITCHING STAFF Appalachian’s strength likely lies in its pitching staff, which not only returns 4-of-5 starters from a year ago but also all but two contributors from a unit that ranked in the upper echelon of the Southern Conference in most statistical categories in 2011, including ERA (4.42), opponents’ batting average (.260), strikeouts (415) and saves (15). As he did for much of last year, Arrowood will anchor the rotation on Friday nights. The 6-3, 195-pound right-handed senior is widely considered to be one of the top pitchers in the talent-rich SoCon and will likely be the focus of radar gun-wielding professional scouts each time he takes the mound in 2012. His electric stuff includes a fastball that sits in the low to mid 90s but also features great control that saw the big righty sport a nearly 3-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio last year, with 83 Ks and just 31 walks. Behind Arrowood is another big, powerful righthanded senior in Seth Grant. Although Grant struggled at times last season to a 5-9 record, he displayed ability that makes him a legitimate pro prospect as well. His .245 opponents’ batting average in 2011 was the lowest among ASU starters and his 28 walks were the fewest. He hopes to pick up where he left off at the end of the campaign, when he blanked Furman, 5-0, for the first complete-game shutout in Appalachian’s SoCon Tournament history. The other returning starter from last year will actually fill a new role this year, as junior Nathan Hyatt will move from the rotation to the closer spot vacated by
the graduated Taylor Miller. Despite winning six games a year ago, Hyatt’s hard fastball, devastating slider and aggressive demeanor makes him the logical choice to continue the recent line of dominating closers at ASU. Over the past three seasons, ASU closers have recorded 12, 13 and 11 saves and three of the last four Mountaineers in the role have been selected in the Major League Baseball Draft. The battle to replace Hyatt in the weekend rotation appears to be down to two newcomers — southpaws Robert Marcello and Jeffrey Springs. A junior who spent two years pitching in one of the most competitive junior-college districts in America at Indian River State College in Florida, Marcello could have the early edge due to experience but Springs, the North Carolina 3-A Player of the Year last spring at South Point H.S. in Belmont, has the raw talent to dominate a game from start to finish. Whoever finishes second in the battle to round out the weekend rotation will likely hold the primary midweek starter’s role. Left-handers Ryne Frankoff, Chad Farmer and Tyler Jackson will also compete for starts. While Hyatt is new to the closer’s role, he’ll be surrounded by experienced arms in the bullpen. Leading the deep group of veteran relievers are a pair of seniors in right-hander David Port and lefty Will Helms. Port, who joined Arrowood on the preseason all-SoCon team, went 2-0 with three saves in a setup role last year. He compiled a 2.33 ERA and .230 opponents’ batting average to lead all Mountaineer pitchers with at least 15 innings on the mound. Helms, whose 11-0 career record represents the most wins by an active NCAA Divison I pitcher without a loss, made a team-high 33 appearances a year ago and will once again be relied on to get left-handed hitters out late in ballgames. Pollard has stated that it is a priority to find another southpaw reliever to take some of the workload away

2012 APPALACHIAN STATE BASEBALL SEASON PREVIEW
POSITION PLAYERS As with its pitching staff, Appalachian is in the enviable position of returning all but one key contributor from a year ago. While the lineup includes three preseason all-conference honorees in designated hitter Daniel Kassouf, second baseman Hector Crespo and third baseman Zack Briggs, the unquestioned leader of the group is junior center fielder Tyler Zupcic. Zupcic led ASU and ranked among the conference leaders with a .350 batting average, 77 hits and 47 runs a year ago and also boasted 32 walks, a .434 on-base percentage, 14 doubles and 15 stolen bases. He also plays one of the best defensive center fields in the nation with the ability to cover a wide tract of real estate, the athleticism to make acrobatic catches and a huge arm that accounted for five outfield assists in 2011. As a total package, the junior is expected to be the focus of pro scouts throughout the season. Joining Zupcic in the outfield are returning left fielder Preston Troutman and right fielder Tyler Tewell, who made 25 starts a year ago while battling injuries and illness throughout the campaign. Troutman burst on the scene as a true freshman last year and made 40 starts in left field en route to SoCon all-freshman recognition. Tewell is expected to bounce back from his injury/illness-riddled sophomore campaign and start 50-plus games this season, both in right field and at his
natural position of catcher. The primary reserves in the outfield will be true freshmen Alex Leach, who Pollard would like to get 75100 at-bats this season, and redshirt frosh John Kincaid. All four starters return to the infield with each of the four — Briggs, Crespo, first baseman Trey Holmes and shortstop Will Callaway — batting at least .293 a season ago. Holmes anchors the infield at first base, not only due to his consistency at the plate but, perhaps more importantly, his all-America caliber defensive prowess. Not only did the senior hit .298 and lead Appalachian with 45 RBI last season but he led the SoCon in putouts (517) and chances (562) while committing just four errors all year, good for an exemplary .993 fielding percentage. Crespo overcame a slow start last season to finish third on the team with a .316 batting average. He used his great speed to rank among the team and conference leaders in stolen bases (18) and triples (3) while also being one of the top fielders in the SoCon with fantastic range and just five errors in 253 chances at second base (.980 fielding percentage). Callaway returns for his second year as Crespo’s double-play mate. He split time at shortstop for much of last season with incumbent Doug Jones but wrested the position away from the veteran by hitting .362 over his final 24 games of the campaign. Callaway boasts a power bat for a middle infielder and has shown the ability to make spectacular plays at shortstop as well. Briggs, who made 58 starts and played in all 60 games in 2011, returns to the hot corner in 2012. He undisputedly possesses one of the Mountaineers’ top power bats, having tied for the team lead with 16 doubles, ranked second with 32 RBI and third with five home runs last season. He will look to improve on a .897 fielding percentage that was precipitated by a team-high 16 errors. For the fourth and final year, senior Jeremy Dowdy will be Appalachian’s primary field general behind the plate. Another legitimate pro prospect that Pollard has called one of the SoCon’s top “catch-and-throw guys,” Dowdy will look to shake off last year’s season-long slump at the plate that saw the .302 career hitter coming into the campaign hit just .228 over 56 games. The Mountaineers’ lone first-team preseason all-conference honoree is Kassouf, who led ASU and ranked among the SoCon’s top 15 with eight home runs last season. A pure power hitter from the right side of the plate, Kassouf also led the Apps with a .469 slugging percentage last year, his first campaign since leading all NCAA divisions with 29 home runs at Division III Belmont Abbey in 2009. Kassouf will also serve as the top backup to Holmes at first base. Other primary reserves across the infield include true freshmen Brandon Burris and Michael
Right-handed setup man David Port led all ASU pitchers with at least 15 IP in 2011 with a 2.33 ERA.

from Helms and the logical choice for that role is junior Zach Joyce, who boasts some of the best stuff on the ASU staff. As for additional righties out of the ‘pen, Pollard and his staff have been impressed by the performances turned in by newcomers Josh Wilson and Jamie Nunn and have continued to be dazzled by the performance of Boone native Tyler Moore, who virtually came out of nowhere last season to post a minuscule 0.69 ERA and .100 opponents’ batting average in 12 relief appearances last spring. “I’m very pleased with the starting rotation going into the season, mixing two guys with a lot of experience in Arrowood and Grant with two guys that have no Division I experience but a lot of physical ability in Marcello and Springs,” Pollard said. “We obviously have a new guy on the back end of the bullpen in Nate (Hyatt) but that is a role that suits him and he has thrived in relief in the past. We obviously have the utmost confidence in Port and Helms to set Nate up but also have a lot of confidence in Wilson, Nunn and Moore to keep us from having to use Port and Helms too much. The key in the bullpen right now is finding another lefty specialist to take some of the pressure off Helms but we feel like that is a role that is suited for Zach Joyce and hope he’ll take that opportunity and run with it.”

Pierson at second base and shortstop, respectively, and sophomore Noah Holmes at third. Pollard is quite high on the group of reserves at second, short and third, however, saying that all three could make a major push for at-bats. Tewell is likely to catch at least one day a week to utilize his skills behind the plate and help keep Dowdy fresh. “Defensively, this is the best club I’ve ever coached. We have above-average defenders at every position,” Pollard said. “Like last year, the cause for concern will be our ability to drive the baseball. We’re going to have to manufacture runs again, doing the small things right — running the bases well, situational hitting — to take advantage of the opportunities that we have to score.” SCHEDULE Once again, Appalachian will face a challenging schedule of non-conference opponents and the perennially powerful SoCon slate. As always, the Southern Conference appears to be one of the nation’s top baseball conferences. Three SoCon teams — Georgia Southern, College of Charleston and Samford — are considered by many to be top-50 clubs nationally while, individually, one-third of the preseason Louisville Slugger all-America lineup is comprised by SoCon players (Georgia Southern’s Victor Roache, College of Charleston’s Daniel Aldrich and Western Carolina’s Ross Heffley). The Louisville Slugger honorees doesn’t include pitchers Chris Beck (Georgia Southern) and Lex Rutledge (Samford), who have been tabbed as preseason all-Americans by a slew of other publications and are widely regarded as likely firstround picks in June’s MLB Draft. The non-conference slate is highlighted by a threegame series at six-time national champion LSU, a home-and-home series with Atlantic Coast Conference foe Duke and a mid-week duel at two-time-defending national champ South Carolina. While ASU will certainly have its work cut out with four games against preseason top-10 clubs in LSU and South Carolina, it carries with it the confidence gained by having won three of its last five matchups versus Southeastern Conference opponents and snapping a 29-year skid versus nationally ranked clubs with a win last year at Miami (Fla.). “Once again, I feel like our schedule stacks up with just about any mid-major program in America with regards to the challenges we’ll face throughout the year,” Pollard said. “The SoCon is going to be as strong as ever from top to bottom and the non-conference schedule is daunting each and every week, highlighted of course by three games at LSU and one at South Carolina. That being said, I feel like we are up to the challenge and the look forward to the opportunities that our schedule presents.”
Hector Crespo is not only a catalyst of ASU’s offense but also one of the Southern Conference’s top defensive infielders.

CHRIS POLLARD
HEAD COACH • EIGHTH SEASON AT ASU • DAVIDSON, 1996 Chris Pollard, who has engineered the turnaround of Appalachian State University baseball from back-to-back 10-win seasons to a program that ranks among the upper echelon in the baseball-rich Southern Conference, is in his eight year as Appalachian’s head coach. Pollard took the reins at ASU on July 20, 2004 and in seven seasons he has compiled a 203-192-2 record, making him the second-winningest coach in program history. He has led the Mountaineers to no fewer than 32 victories in each of the past five seasons seasons, good for Appalachian’s first stretch of five-straight 30-win campaigns since 1982-86. The reemergence of Appalachian baseball began in earnest in 2006 — Pollard’s second season at the helm — when he led the Apps to 24 victories, four more than the previous two seasons combined. The 14-win improvement from 2005 marked the thirdbiggest turnaround in terms of total victories in school history, behind only the 1981 (+18 wins) and 1969 (+16 wins) teams. Five-consecutive 30-win seasons have followed, including a 38-18-1 campaign in 2010, which marked the second-highest win total in Appalachian’s 108-year baseball history. The 2010 Mountaineers raced out to a 10-0 record, leaving them as one of the nation’s final four unbeaten clubs (along with top-25 mainstays Arizona State, Louisville and UCLA) and raising their Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) to as high as No. 7 out of 300 NCAA Division I teams. A 16-2 April and three victories at the Southern Conference Tournament — ASU’s best postseason showing in nearly a decade — secured a top-50 final RPI ranking for a program just six years removed from finishing among the bottom 30 in the RPI. Last season, Pollard’s squad earned its first win over a nationally ranked team in 29 years (a 7-5 win at No. 20 Miami (Fla.)), its third triumph over a Southeastern Conference opponent in its last five attempts (a 6-5 win at Tennessee) and its second-straight appearance in the SoCon Tournament semifinals. After not qualifying for postseason play in five of the seven years prior to his arrival, Pollard’s teams have won SoCon Tournament games following each of the past six regular seasons, including the back-to-back semifinal appearances in 2010 and ‘11. Despite the nearly unprecedented success on the field, Pollard’s tenure at ASU has been punctuated by the top-notch talent that he has brought to the High Country. Each crop of newcomers that Pollard and his staff have recruited have ranked among the top classes in North Carolina, with all-Americans, state players of the year and highly soughtafter transfers from across the Southeast dotting his rosters. Highlighting the impressive collection of players that Pollard has recruited and coached in his short time in the High Country are nine players that have been selected in the past three Major League Baseball Drafts. After Appalachian went without an MLB draftee for a dozen years, three members of Pollard’s initial ASU recruiting class — David Rubinstein, Jason Rook and Garrett Sherrill — were selected in the first 12 rounds of the 2008 MLB Draft. In 2009, the Mountaineers had a school-record four MLB draftees (Zach Quate, Rand Smith, Isaac Harrow and Josh Dowdy) followed by two more selections in last year’s MLB Draft (Chris Patterson and Wes Hobson). Additionally, two players that signed National Letters of Intent with ASU were also selected in the 2010 MLB Draft — Austin Brice, who was picked in the ninth round and signed with the Florida Marlins and Lawrence Pardo, who spurned a 46th-round selection by the Houston Astros to attend Appalachian. Prior to his arrival at ASU, Pollard was the head coach at Pfeiffer University from 200004. In his final year at Pfeiffer, he coached the Falcons to the winningest season in school history, a 41-14 campaign that culminated with its second-straight CVAC regular-season championship and a berth in the 2004 NCAA Division II South Atlantic Regional. In addition to the school-record 41 victories, Pfeiffer reached as high as No. 2 in the South Atlantic Regional rankings and No. 10 in the nation according to Collegiate Baseball newspaper. For his efforts, Pollard was named the 2004 CVAC Coach of the Year both by the league’s coaches and the American Baseball Coaches Association. Much like at Appalachian, Pollard took over a Pfeiffer squad that had suffered losing campaigns in three of the four seasons before he arrived in Misenheimer in 2000 and immediately began a rebuilding project which led to the Falcons’ record improving in each of his five seasons as head coach. After leading the squad to its first winning season in five years with a 25-22 record in 2002, Pollard earned his first championship as a head coach by coaching the Falcons to a

Pollard also gained coaching experience in the NCAA-certified Coastal Plain Summer League as the head coach of the Durham Braves in 1998 and pitching coach with the Rocky Mount Rock Fish in 1997. As a player at Davidson from 1993-96, Pollard earned distinction as just the third pitcher in program history to win 20 games in his career. He ranks among the all-time top 10 at Davidson with 20 wins (3rd all-time at DC), 168 strikeouts (8th), 59 appearances (t-7th), 309 innings pitched (4th), 39 starts (6th), 18 complete games (t-7th) and two shutouts (t-3rd). As a sophomore, he defeated both No. 1 Georgia Tech and No. 25 Western Carolina, while he tied an NCAA record as a junior by earning victories in both ends of a doubleheader versus Georgia Southern. After graduation, Pollard played professionally in both the Western League and the highly regarded Northern League before returning to Davidson to begin his coaching career. Pollard earned a B.A. in psychology from Davidson in 1996, with a concentration in child and adolescent development and a Master’s in physical education/health education from Mississippi State in 2004. His wife, Stephanie, is a 1997 Davidson graduate and a teacher at Parkway Elementary School in Chris Pollard was a standout pitcher at Deep Gap.

ASSISTANT COACH • SECOND SEASON AT ASU • W. CAROLINA, 1999
Josh Jordan is in his sixth season as an assistant coach at Appalachian State University and his second year as the program’s top assistant and recruiting coordinator. Jordan’s responsibilities include working primarily with ASU’s catchers and outfielders and serving as the team’s first-base coach. Appalachian has won 169 games in Jordan’s first five seasons with the program and posted the school’s first string of five-straight 30-win seasons in over 20 years. Jordan came to ASU from Young Harris College on Aug. 17, 2006. In his only season at Young Harris, Jordan helped lead the Mountain Lions to a runner-up finish in the 2006 National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Region XVII Tournament. Prior to his stint at Young Harris, Jordan spent two seasons at Fort Hays State in Hays, Kan. He began his time at Fort Hays as a graduate assistant in 2004 before being elevated to the Tigers’ top assistant and recruiting coordinator in 2005. As the Tigers’ outfield coach, Jordan mentored Jeff Bieker, a 15th-round selection of the Oakland Athletics in the 2005 Major League Baseball Amateur Draft. Jordan played second base at Catawba College from 1999-2002, helping lead the Indians to the 2002 South Atlantic Conference Tournament championship. Following his graduation from Catawba in 2002, he began his coaching career as a volunteer coach at his alma mater in 2003. In addition to his collegiate coaching stops, Jordan spent three seasons with the Thomasville Hi-Toms of the Coastal Plain Collegiate Summer League, as an assistant in 2003 and ‘04 and head coach in ‘05.

CRAIG SCHEFFLER
JOSH PORTER
ASSISTANT COACH • SEVENTH SEASON AT ASU • WISC.-MILWAUKEE, 1993
ATHLETIC TRAINER • FOURTH SEASON • UNC GREENSBORO, 2006
A veteran of college and professional baseball, Craig Scheffler brings a wealth of experience to his role as Appalachian State University’s pitching coach. He is in his seventh season on the Mountaineer staff. Under Scheffler’s tutelage, Appalachian posted a 4.22 team earned run average in 2011, the lowest ERA by a Mountaineer staff since 1985. Last season’s stingy 4.22 ERA was nearly a run lower than the 5.19 and 5.21 marks that the staff compiled in 2009 and ‘10, which had been ASU’s lowest team ERAs since 1991. Steadily declining earned run averages have been a staple at Appalachian since Scheffler’s first season with the Mountaineers (2006). In Scheffler’s first season, ASU put together a team earned run average of 5.76, down nearly two-and-a-half runs from the staff’s 8.15 ERA in the year prior to his arrival. Each of his six staffs have had ERAs under 6.20, which is impressive considering that before his first season on staff, it had been a decade since Appalachian had a team ERA lower than 6.44. A former standout pitcher at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and 12thround draft pick by the Los Angeles Dodgers, Scheffler came to Appalachian after helping lead NC State’s club baseball team to a 173-49 record and three-straight National Club Baseball Association World Series appearances as the program’s pitching coach from 1997-2005. Scheffler began his collegiate career at the University of Wisconsin in 1990 and transferred to UWM following the disbandment of Wisconsin’s program in 1991. At Milwaukee, he led the Panthers with 54 strikeouts in 1992 and was drafted by the Dodgers in 1993 despite compiling a collegiate record of just 4-14. In five professional seasons, Scheffler compiled an 18-16 career record with a 4.95 ERA and 247 strikeouts in 331 innings of work. In 1994, he led the Class A Northwest League with eight wins for the Yakima Bears. In 2011, the Wausau, Wis. native was inducted into the Central Wisconsin Baseball Hall of Fame. Scheffler earned a bachelor’s degree in engineering from Wisconsin-Milwuakee in 1994 and a Master’s in civil engineering from NC State in 1999. He resides in Boone with his wife, Nicole, and their children, Brooke (7) and Brycen (2).
Josh Porter is in his fourth year as Appalachian State University baseball’s athletic trainer. In his role, Porter provides daily sports medicine coverage for ASU baseball, oversees the team’s orthopedic clinics and assists heavily with the Mountaineers’ travel plans. He also serves as an approved clinical instructor for the athletic training education program and teaches weight training in the health, leisure and exercise science department at ASU. Porter began at Appalachian in 2008 as an athletic training intern for men’s soccer and baseball before being promoted to assistant athletic trainer in 2009. Prior to his arrival at ASU, Porter spent six years at UNC Greensboro, where he received a bachelor’s degree in 2006 and a master’s in exercise and sports science with a concentration in athletic training in 2008. A native of Corinth, Miss., Porter and his wife, Alice, live in Boone with their infant daughter, Makenzie.

He led the Mountaineers to four-consecutive Southern Conference championships (1984-87) and two of ASU’s three all-time NCAA postseason appearances in 1984 and ‘86. His 1984 squad led the nation in regular-season winning percentage (35-5) and the ‘86 Apps were the first team in SoCon history to earn an at-large bid to the NCAA Regionals. During his 25-year tenure, Morris coached six allAmericans, five SoCon Players of the Year, one SoCon Pitcher of the Year and three SoCon Freshmen of the Year and was named the 1984 SoCon Coach of the Year. Morris currently serves as the color analyst for ASU baseball broadcasts on the Appalachian IMG Sports Network.
Appalachian’s all-time leader in career batting average, Randy Ingle hit .404 for the Mountaineers from 1977-79. He also ranks second in ASU history with 11 career triples and fourth in career slugging percentage (.632) and batted an ASU and SoCon-record .477 in 1979, en route to all-SoCon, SoCon Player of the Year, all-region and first-team all-America accolades. He earned all-conference honors in each of his three collegiate seasons. After being selected in the 14th round of the 1979 Major League Baseball Draft by the Atlanta Braves, he played in the Braves’ farm system from 1979-1987. He spent the last 26 seasons as a coach in the Braves’ organization, including 20 as a manager, most recently with Danville of the Appalachian League in 2011. He earned Southern League Manager of the Year honors in 1997 after leading Greenville to the league championship and also managed Pulaski to an Appalachian League title in 1991. Ingle won his 1,000th game as a ASU all-time leader with a .404 average, Randy Ingle spent the last 26 years as a manager on May 7, 2009.

2012 APPALACHIAN STATE BASEBALL SOUTHERN CONFERENCE The Southern Conference, which is in its 91st season of intercollegiate competition in 2011-12, is a national leader in emphasizing the development of the student-athlete and in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Southern Conference has been on the forefront of innovation and originality in developing creative solutions to address issues facing intercollegiate athletics. From establishing the first conference basketball tournament (1921), tackling the issue of freshmen eligibility (1922), developing women’s championships (1984), to becoming the first conference to install the three-point goal in basketball (1980), the Southern Conference has been a pioneer. The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896), the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacific 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. Hundreds of Southern Conference student-athletes have been recognized on ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America and all-district teams. A total of 19 Rhodes Scholarship winners have been selected from conference institutions. The conference currently consists of 12 members in five states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships. The Southern Conference offices are located in the historic Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 until 1999, Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the league first class meeting areas and offices as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents. On Feb. 25, 1921, representatives from 14 of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s (SIAA) 30 members met at Atlanta’s Piedmont Hotel to establish the Southern Intercollegiate Conference. On hand at the inaugural meeting were officials from Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute (Auburn), Clemson, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology (Georgia Tech), Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi A&M (Mississippi State), North Carolina, North Carolina State, Tennessee, Virginia, Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech) and Washington & Lee. Dr. S.V. Sanford of Georgia was chosen as acting chairman and N.W. Dougherty of Tennessee was named secretary. The decision to form a new athletic conference was motivated by the desire to have a workable number of conference games for each league member. With 30 schools in the SIAA by the early 1920s, it was impossible to play every school at least once during the regular season and many schools went several years between playing some conference members. In addition, in 1920, the SIAA voted down proposed rules that an athlete must be in a college a year before playing on its teams and refused to abolish a rule permitting athletes to play summer baseball for money. Play began in the fall of 1921 and a year later, six more schools joined the fledgling league including Tulane (which had attended the inaugural meeting but had elected not to join), Florida, Louisiana (LSU), Mississippi, South Carolina and Vanderbilt. VMI joined in 1925 and Duke was added in 1929. By the 1930s, membership in the Southern Conference had reached 23 schools. C.P. “Sally” Miles of Virginia Tech, president of the Southern Conference, called the annual league meeting to order on Dec. 9, 1932 at the Farragut Hotel in Knoxville, Tenn. Georgia’s Dr. Sanford announced that 13 institutions west and south of the Appalachian Mountains were reorganizing as the Southeastern Conference. Members of the new league included Alabama, Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Florida, Georgia, Georgia School of Technology, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mississippi A&M, University of the South, Tennessee, Tulane and Vanderbilt. The Southern Conference continued with membership of 10 institutions including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina, Virginia, VMI, Virginia Tech and Washington & Lee. The second major shift occurred some 20 years later. By 1952, the Southern Conference included 17 colleges and universities. Another split occurred when seven schools including Clemson, Duke, Maryland, North Carolina, North Carolina State, South Carolina and Wake Forest departed to form the Atlantic Coast Conference which began play in 1953. The revamped Southern Conference included members The Citadel, Davidson, Furman, George Washington, Richmond, VMI, Virginia Tech, Washington & Lee, West Virginia and William & Mary. Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that includes 12 institutions and a footprint that spans five states: Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Samford, Chattanooga, Western Carolina and Wofford. In baseball, Wake Forest advanced to the championship game of the NCAA College World Series in 1949. Demon Deacon second baseman Charles Teague was named the College World Series Most Valuable Player. The Citadel made history in 1990 by becoming the first military school to make an appearance at the College World Series. The Bulldogs were joined that season at the College World Series by current conference member Georgia Southern. One of the Southern Conference’s more famous baseball alums is Duke’s Dick Groat. The Blue Devil shortstop, who was also a basketball standout, was the conference’s Athlete of the Year in 1951 and 1952. He went on to a 14-year career in the major leagues. In 1960, he was named the National League MVP after he led the league in batting with a .325 average for the World Champion Pittsburgh Pirates. Other notable SoCon alums to play in the Major Leagues are Atlee Hammaker (East Tennessee State), Jeff Montgomery (Marshall) and Mike Ramsey (Appalachian State). New York Yankees starting left fielder Brett Gardner (College of Charleston), Oakland A’s pitcher Graham Godfrey (College of SoCon Commissioner Charleston) and Kansas City Royals pitcher Everett Teaford currently John Iamarino grace Major League rosters. .

2012 APPALACHIAN STATE BASEBALL DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS CHARLIE COBB
CHARLIE COBB DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS • SEVENTH YEAR
I
n his first six years at Appalachian State University, director of athletics Charlie Cobb has led the department to unparalleled success. The many achievements enjoyed by Appalachian athletics during the first 72 months of Cobb’s tenure include: • Three NCAA Division I football national championships — marking the first time that any program has ever won three-consecutive NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS — formerly Division I-AA) and the first NCAA football titles ever won by a team from the state of North Carolina at any level. • Shattering football attendance records at Kidd Brewer Stadium with crowds surpassing “The Rock’s” permanent seating capacity for each of ASU’s 34 regular-season home games since Cobb’s arrival in 2005. • A 298-percent increase in football season-ticket sales. • Six-consecutive Commissioner’s Cup championships — recognizing the top overall men’s sports program in the Southern Conference. • Three Germann Cup championships — recognizing the top overall women’s sports program in the SoCon. • Thirty-five percent of the athletics department’s students making the Academic Honor Roll (minimum GPA of 3.25). • Five teams (men’s basketball, women’s cross country, field hockey, women’s indoor and outdoor track and field) earning public recognition awards, based on being among the nation’s top 10 percent in their respective sports based on Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores. • The Yosef Club, which provides scholarship and facility support for student- athletes, raising over $2.5 million for the first time in 2009-10. Despite the state of the economy, the Yosef Club has reached the $2 million threshold for donations four years in a row and rasied nearly $2 million more in 2010-11 than it did in any year prior a string of five-straight record years since Cobb’s arrival. • Appalachian’s athletics annual budget increasing from $7.5 million in Cobb’s first year to nearly $14.5 million in 2011-12.
However, the most notable of Cobb’s many achievements has been the addition of firstclass facilities that will give Appalachian the opportunity to be successful across the athletics spectrum for years to come. Facility enhancements totaling $50 million were completed in 2009, headlined by the 120,000-square-foot Appalachian Athletics Center. The seven-story complex, located behind Kidd Brewer Stadium’s west stands, includes new football offices and locker room, a strength and conditioning center, training facilities, academic study space and computer lab for all ASU student-athletes, as well as premium seating in the form of 600 club-level seats and 18 luxury suites. The facility enhancements also included other significant renovations to The Rock. A new ticket plaza, which serves as a grand entrance to the stadium, as well as ornamental fencing that replaced the chain-link barriers that used to surround the stadium and field were completed before the 2007 season, while a 4,400-seat upper deck on the stadium’s east side and substantial upgrades to the east and south concourses were completed prior to the ‘08 campaign. In addition to the renovations to Appalachian’s most visible athletics facility, the campaign has also produced new homes for Mountaineer baseball (Jim and Bettie Smith Stadium), softball (Sywassink/Lloyd Family Stadium) and soccer (at the Ted Mackorell Soccer Complex), as well as the Apps’ first-ever indoor practice facility (Sofield Family Indoor Practice Facility) and renovations to Varsity Gym that have upgraded the facility to a premier practice and competition venue for ASU basketball, indoor track and field, volleyball and wrestling. With the $50 million in facilities enhancements, all 20 of Appalachian’s intercollegiate sports teams now practice and compete in facilities that have either been built or renovated since the turn of the millenium. While Cobb is quick to point out the “total team effort” put forth to achieve the many successes that have been enjoyed since he began his tenure as ASU’s director of athletics on July 1, 2005, it is the experience, vision and work ethic of the 43-year-old Cobb that has steered the Mountaineers to new heights. Cobb’s peers recognized him for his efforts when the National Collegiate Athletics Directors Association (NACDA) named him the NCAA Division I FCS Southeast Region Under Armour Athletics Director of the Year in 2011. Prior to his arrival in Boone, Cobb was a member of the athletics department at North Carolina State University from 1998-2005. A four-year football letterwinner at NC State from 1987-90, Cobb served as the Wolfpack’s
42
senior associate athletics director for external operations for the seven years prior to his arrival in Boone. In that role, he oversaw NC State’s marketing, ticket operations, media relations and student-athlete development operations, as well as serving on the department’s compact strategic planning initiative, gender equity and facilities committees. During his tenure, NC State increased football season-ticket sales by 87 percent and men’s basketball season-ticket sales by 121 percent. The combined ticket revenues accounted for an annual increase of over 86 percent for Wolfpack athletics, generating more than $6 million for the department. In addition, Cobb served as NC State’s administrator for baseball and women’s soccer, tournament manager for the 2004 NCAA men’s basketball first and second rounds at the RBC Center and the chair for the southeast region of the NCAA women’s soccer committee. Prior to returning to his alma mater in ‘98, Cobb spent six years in Atlanta, Ga., where he held positions with the Atlanta Sports Council, the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl and the Georgia Dome. As an assistant executive director for the Atlanta Sports Council and the Peach Bowl, he helped coordinate Atlanta’s bid for the 2002 NCAA men’s basketball Final Four and handled all game and event operations for the Peach Bowl. As sales manager for the Georgia Dome from 1994-97, Cobb helped procure events such as the Southeastern Conference football championship, the SEC and Atlantic Coast Conference men’s basketball tournaments, NCAA men’s basketball championship events, Georgia High School Association football playoffs, major concerts and other college and amateur sporting events. Cobb graduated with honors with a B.A. in business administration from NC State in 1990. A second-team all-ACC honoree at center as a senior, Cobb was an academic all-ACC selection and collected the prestigious Jim Tatum Award, presented to the ACC football senior with the highest grade point average, and the Bob Warren Memorial Award, given to the Wolfpack football player that displays the highest integrity and sportsmanship. After receiving post-graduate scholarships from both the ACC and NFL Charities, Cobb earned a master’s degree in sports administration from Ohio University in 1992. Cobb is married to the former Lindsay Brecher, who was an all-ACC goalkeeper for NCSU women’s soccer from 1988-90 and serves as an assistant coach for Appalachian’s women’s soccer program. The Cobbs have a 13-year-old son, Harrison, and a 10-year-old daughter, Branan.

BOONE
NORTH CAROLINA Boone lies in a small valley in the heart of the Southern Appalachians. It is named after the hunter and explorer Daniel Boone, who spent time in the region during the 1760s. Watauga County was formed in 1849 and the Town of Boone incorporated in 1872. Among its accolades are inclusion in National Geographic Adventure magazine’s “Best Places to Live and Play,” Norman Crampton’s “100 Best Small Towns in America,” USA Today’s “10 Great Small Towns with Huge Backyards” and U.S. News and World Report’s “10 Best Places to Retire in the U.S.” Boone is a college town, home to Appalachian State University. Originally Watauga Academy, the institution was formed to educate the mountain children and to ultimately prepare teachers for service through western North Carolina. It became Appalachian State Teachers College in 1929 and joined the University of North Carolina system in 1971. The university serves as a top economic driver followed by a combination of tourism, small business and residential home construction. The Boone area is characterized by mountain culture and casual living. Outdoor activities, cultural events, local dining and unique shops attract visitors from all over the world year-round. From breathtaking scenic views to Boone’s eclectic downtown area, known as King Street, there is something for everyone. One of the highlights of downtown Boone is the university’s Turchin Center for the Visual Arts. It features six gallery spaces and a community education and outreach program. Its exhibitions focus on a blend of recent and historically important artwork and feature nationally and internationally renowned artists as well as many of the finest artists of the region. A wide array of quality arts and cultural events enhance the Boone community. The university’s month-long celebration of performing and visual arts, known as An Appalachian Summer Festival, has brought notable performers such as Paul Taylor Dance Company, London City Opera, Charlie Daniels and the Glenn Miller Orchestra. During the academic year, Appalachian hosts the Performing Arts Series with artists such as Garrison Keillor and the National Symphony Orchestra. Boone offers an uncommon quality of life — that’s why many visitors come for a weekend and stay for a lifetime.

WHAT’S VISIBLE FROM KIDD BREWER STADIUM… State’s Largest Wind Turbine This community-scale, 100-kilowatt wind turbine stands 153 feet and feeds enough electricity directly to the grid to power 15 homes. It was paid for primarily through student funds and in partnership with the campus utility, New River Light and Power. Aside from producing clean energy, the turbine serves as an educational monument to Appalachian’s ethic of sustainability. Howard’s Knob Located just a half mile from downtown Boone, this peak has an elevation of 4,420 feet. It was named for Benjamin Howard, a Revolutionary War loyalist who fled to a cave there to escape American patriots. Rich Mountain One of 20 North Carolina mountains bearing this name, the Watauga County ridge extends northwest from Boone. It is named for its unusually fertile though rugged slopes.
