Head Coach Mark Johnson 113-75 at Sam Houston
989 career wins Mark Johnson ranks No. 15 among active NCAA Division I baseball head coaches in career victories with a 24-year record of 989 wins, 504 losses and three ties.

Johnson became the sixth head coach in Sam Houston State University’s modern baseball history on July 16, 2006. His first three seasons at the helm of the Bearkat program can best be described as “record breaking.” Three years in a row, Sam Houston has earned NCAA Division I tournament berths by sweeping undefeated through the Southland Conference post-season tournament. Three consecutive SLC tournament crowns and Division I regional appearances are a league first. In his first season in 2007, Sam Houston had one of the three best turn-around seasons in NCAA Division I baseball with a 40-24 record, an improvement of 17 victories over SHSU’s 23-31 record in 2006. The Southland tournament title sent the Kats to the NCAA Regional for the first time since 1996. With thrilling come-from-behind victories over Troy and Southern Mississippi, Sam Houston reached the NCAA Division I Regional finals for the first time in history. Two years ago, the Kats went 37-25 to produce the most wins by Sam Houston teams in consecutive seasons since SHSU won 45 and 44 games in 1986 and 1987. In the NCAA

Back-to-back-to-back SLC tournament titles, NCAA appearances For the third year in a row and the sixth time in school history, Sam Houston State earned an NCAA Division I baseball national tournament berth in 2009. The Bearkats extended their Southland Conference tournament winning streak to 12 games, again sweeping through the post-season event unbeaten. The 12 consecutive tournament victories is a league first. Sam Houston is the first Southland team to punch its ticket for the NCAA event by winning three straight SLC post-season tournaments. In 2009, the Kats defeated No. 2 seed Southeastern Louisiana 9-2 in the opening round and 7-2 in the semifinals, No. 3 seed UTSA 8-6 in 11 innings in the quarterfinals and No. 1 seed Texas State 7-1 in the finals. Sam Houston, the No. 7 seed in after an 18-14 league record in 2009, was the lowest seeded team ever to win the SLC postseason title. At the NCAA regionals in Houston, Sam Houston lost to Rice 5-2 and Xavier 9-6. The NCAA Regional appearance capped another outstanding season for coach Mark Johnson’s baseball team. In his three years, Johnson has directed Sam Houston to 40 victories in 2007, 37 in 2008 and 36 in 2007. Those 113 wins represent the most wins in consecutive seasons by a Bearkat team since SHSU won 45, 44 and 32 games in 1986 through 1988. Prior to Johnson’s arrival as head coach in 2007, Sam Houston had gone eight seasons without a winning record and five years without qualifying for the Southland tournament. The 2009 Bearkats produced a .328 team batting average, the third year in a row for the Kats to hit more than .300. In 2008, the Kats set a school record with its .335 team average.
Record crowds watched the Bearkats at Don Sanders Stadium during the 2009 season as Sam Houston rolled up another winning record.

They were 8-1 in extra inning contests and won five games with walk-off hits. Nearly a third of the Kats’ 452 runs were scored with two outs. Only 10 lettermen return in 2010 including four pitchers, four infielders, a catcher and a designated hitter. Second baseman Braeden Riley, who led NCAA Division I baseball and set Southland Conference and Sam Houston school records with 111 total hits in 2009, heads the list of returning players.

Don Sanders Stadium Sam Houston State’s four-year-old Don Sanders Baseball Stadium is located east of the Bowers Stadium football facility. The $5.5 million Sanders Stadium includes spacious dressing areas, indoor hitting cages, and coaches’ offices. Sanders is a former owner of the Houston Sports Association and the Houston Astros Baseball Club and currently, along with Nolan Ryan, is co-owner of Ryan-Sanders Baseball. Ryan-Sanders Baseball owns the Astros’ Class AAA Round Rock Express and Class AA Corpus Christi Hooks. The Houston entrepreneur and philanthropist has donated $1 million to establish an endowment fund to enhance the baseball program at Sam Houston State, Sanders’s alma mater. Sanders, founder and chairman of the investment firm Sanders Morris Harris, is a leading figure in Houston in a variety of civic, corporate and financial enterprises. He was the founder and chairman of the Houston Police Foundation and a member of the University of Houston System Board of Regents and Houston Police Pension System. In 2001, he was named Houston Interfaith Charities’ “Sportsman of the Year.” His current board affiliations include the Nolan Ryan Foundation,
the DePelchin Children’s Center, and the Houston Museum of Fine Arts. “Don Sanders Stadium is an outstanding recruiting tool,” SHSU head baseball coach Mark Johnson said. “The new stadium was one of the first things that attracted me to this job. When we were looking into naming the baseball field, we had several criteria in mind. We wanted the person to be an alumnus of Sam Houston, we wanted someone who was interested and involved in baseball, and we wanted someone with integrity, credibility and strong character to reflect what we want to do here for our baseball program. Mr. Sanders was a perfect fit.” The stadium opened on Feb. 11, 2006. Sam Houston State has attracted record crowds to the 1,164 seat facility including a capacity audiences for a 9-8 victory over the Rice Owls in 2006 and last year with Texas A&M. More than 50 UIL high school baseball playoff games have been held in the new stadium. Further enhancing the facility, dedication ceremonies for the Bud and Joan Haney Diamond Room took place April 27, 2007, as part of the formal naming ceremony for Sanders Stadium. Joseph L. “Bud” Haney (pictured right) is the only athlete in Sam Houston sports history to earn All-America honors four consecutive years. The Haneys were honored for their generous donation to the baseball program. The Bud and Joan Haney
Diamond Room is a multi-purpose meeting area in the baseball/softball facility. Haney, class of 1963, earned his Bachelor of Business Administration degree in accounting. He earned NAIA All-America honors in 1960, 1961, 1962, and 1963 while playing at Sam Houston State and in his senior year, the Bearkats won the NAIA World Series national championship. The founder, president and Chief Financial Officer of Profiles International, a Waco-based occupational assessment company, which now contributes upwards of $15 to $20 million to the local economy, Haney is also the co-author of “40 Strategies for Winning in Business.”
Don Sanders throws the ceremonial first pitch at the stadium dedication in April, 2007.

Winning in the Classroom While winning the Southland Conference Commissioner’s Cup three years in a row on the playing field, Sam Houston State athletics has also led the league in performance in the classroom. Each of the last three seasons, Sam Houston State has placed more student-athletes on the Southland Conference Commissioner’s Academic Honor roll than any of the other 11 universities in the league. To earn a spot on the honor roll, a student-athlete must maintain a 3.00 grade point average. For the past seven semesters, Sam Houston State athletes have produced a grade point average higher than 2.75. That’s a mark better than the university’s general student population. During the both the fall and spring semesters in 2006-07, Bearkat athletes posted a 2.90 GPA, highest of any athletic department in the Southland Conference. Sam Houston State’s NCAA student-athlete graduation success rate has climbed to 60 percent, an athletic department record. More than 90 percent of the student-athletes who complete their eligibility at Sam Houston earned their degree. The performance in the classroom this spring marked the 30th consecutive academic semester that the overall department GPA has been 2.30 or higher (on the 4.0 scale). For the past 23 semesters, that average has been 2.5 or higher. “We are extremely proud of our athletes’ achievements in the classroom and commend our
coaching staff for the tremendous job they do in recruiting quality student-athletes,” Williams said. “The No. 1 goal for each of our sports teams is to have our athletes earn their Sam Houston State degrees. We are proud that 90 percent of student athletes who complete their eligibility at Sam Houston earn their degree.” Associate athletic director for student services Chris Thompson and her staff work with each athlete to construct and monitor the student’s academic path. From freshman orientation to selecting a major to guiding class schedules to monitoring academic progress, the academic staff works toward ensuring that each student receives the help he or she needs to be successful in Sam Houston State’s challenging environment. Among the many resources Sam Houston State offers its athletes are tutoring sessions, supervised study halls, assistance in selecting majors and courses, and use of the Sam Houston State Athletics Learning Enhancement Center located in the Bowers Stadium Field House. The facility features study and work areas and computers and houses the tutorial program. The Academic Enrichment Center in the Newton Gresham Library provides students with the learning skills, tools, strategies and tutorial support required for success in college. The NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills Program offers student-athletes resources that assist them in
improving their academic pursuits. Each freshman student-athlete is required to participate. Guest speakers and various topics are discussed to enhance the college experience.
