MEDLAR FIELD AT LUBRANO PARK A new era of Penn State baseball began in 2007 with the completion of the state-of-the-art Medlar Field at Lubrano Park, the new home of Robbie Wine's Nittany Lions. e brand new facility - completed in June of 2006 is one of the best collegiate stadiums in the nation. Situated in the shadow of Beaver Stadium, Medlar Field is the latest addition to Penn State's “athletic campus” being developed on the Northeast edge of the university. Along with the gigantic home of Penn State football, “the Med” joins the Bryce Jordan Center, the Multi-Sport Indoor Track Facility, the Penn State Field Hockey Complex and the newly renovated Jeffrey Field to form a collection of athletic facilities that rival any in the nation. Located within the walls of Lubrano Park is anything and everything that a Division I baseball team needs to be successful. A spacious clubhouse welcomes the Nittany Lions with roomy wooden lockers, an expanded training room, weight room and team lounge. Just a few steps from the locker room door is the entrance to what may be the most important room in the stadium when practice starts in early spring: the indoor batting cage. Standing two stories high and nearly half a football field in length, the cage also includes two dirt mounds for pitchers to work off of in inclement weather and opens directly into the Penn State bullpen on the right field line. e ballpark's signature is the breathtaking view of legendary Mount Nittany, a local landmark that is near and dear to the heart of every Penn Stater. With the stadium opening to the east, spectators can peer unencumbered down the Nittany Valley for miles. On a clear day, Tussey Mountain Ski Resort can be seen from 10 miles away. Perhaps the best view in the stadium is from head coach Robbie Wine's

office located high above the first base line. Along with offices for his three assistants and a reception area, Coach Wine's office allows him to conduct recruiting and everyday business from a location that is sure to impress any visitor. Seating capacity for Medlar Field at Lubrano Park is 5,406 and 20 luxury suites allow area companies to treat clients and friends to an unmatched baseball experience. A party deck along the right field line provides a good place for friends to gather and the picnic pavilion beyond the left field fence is perfect for birthday parties and group outings. Much like the rest of the park, the dimensions of the playing field are unique as well. A relatively short 325 feet to the left field pole stretches out to the deepest part of the park, the 410 foot nook in left-center field. Straightaway center is 399 feet away and the 320 foot right field fence is made more daunting with an 18.55 feet high wall, which commemorates the year Penn State was founded. A 2,500 square foot press box can accommodate traveling and local media and has private broadcast booths for up to three radio or television teams. A large video scoreboard towers above the left field wall capable of providing up to the minute stats and video replays. e stadium is named for 1982 Penn State graduate Anthony P. Lubrano and former Nittany Lion Head Coach Charles "Chuck" Medlar. Lubrano, a Nittany Lion baseball letterman, chose to honor his college coach with a generous financial gift toward the realization of the long-discussed project. Coach Medlar served at the helm of the Penn State program for 19 years and guided the Lions to two College World Series appearances.

A key aspect of the development of Medlar Field at Lubrano Park was the unique relationship formed between Penn State Athletics and the Single-A aﬃliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates, the State College Spikes. e Double-A Altoona Curve bought the New Jersey Cardinals in 2005, deciding to move that franchise to State College where they would share Medlar Field at Lubrano Park with the Penn State baseball team.

More than three years in, the relationship has served both teams well. e seasons coincide perfectly with the Nittany Lions playing throughout the spring and the short-season Spikes beginning in June and ﬁnishing in early September. e facility is always in use; whatever month of the year, either the Spikes or Lions will be taking full advantage of one of the nation’s premier facilities: Medlar Field at Lubrano Park.

A UNIQUE RELATIONSHIP

Charles “Chuck” Medlar Head Baseball Coach 1963-1981

Charles “Chuck” Medlar was a fixture at Penn State for more than 40 years. He served as the head athletic trainer for over 35 years, working primarily with the football team while also helping establish the foundation for the athletic training system at Penn State. He was later the head baseball coach and also served and an assistant professor of physical education. Medlar first came to Happy Valley in 1938 as a three sport student-athlete (football, basketball, and baseball). He left in 1941 to play professional baseball and also served in the Navy during World War II. After the war and his professional career, Medlar returned to Penn State and earned his bachelor's and master's degrees. Upon his graduation in 1946, Medlar was hired onto the football athletic training staff and was later promoted to head athletic trainer. During his tenure, he served under four head football coaches: Bob Higgins, Joe Bedenk, Rip Engle, and current head coach Joe Paterno. While in this role as an athletic trainer, he also served as an assistant coach with the baseball team. He would go on to compile a 312-141-6 record in 19 years as head baseball coach from 1963-1981. He coached four All-Americans, 16 AllRegion honorees, 14 Major League draft picks, all while leading the Nittany Lions to two College World Series appearances, one in his first year in 1963 and the other in 1973, the last time Penn State appeared in Omaha. Since 1985, the Penn State baseball team has honored Medlar with an annual award. e Charles Medlar Award is given annually to the team's outstanding pitcher. Medlar was a 2000 inductee into the Pennsylvania Athletic Training Hall of Fame. He was on the U.S. athletic training staff for three Olympic Games - in 1952, 1964 and 1968 Mexico City games in which he was the head athletic trainer. Also a member of the American Baseball Coaches' Association Hall of Fame, Medlar was recognized as a Founding Father of Athletic Training in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania by the Pennsylvania Athletic Trainers' Society.

“A coach, trainer, leader and friend, Chuck Medlar was larger than life to the many young people who he touched.” -Anthony P. Lubrano

Anthony P. Lubrano Former Penn State Player 1979-82

Anthony P. Lubrano, a 1982 graduate of Penn State and former baseball letterwinner under head coach Charles Medlar, gave the major financial gift that got the baseball stadium project underway. Medlar Field at Lubrano Park was named by Lubrano in honor of Chuck Medlar’s outstanding career as a leader of student-athletes. It was Lubrano who initially brought up the subject of a new baseball facility in a conversation with Athletic Director Tim Curley back in 1995. Lubrano’s gift along with private donations, state and university funds and the Altoona Curve ownership group purchasing a minor league team for State College got the project off the ground. It culminated in the completion of Medlar Field at Lubrano Park on June 1, 2006. Lubrano was a magna cum laude graduate of the Smeal College of Business with a B.S. in Accounting. After receiving his CPA while working his first job following graduation, Lubrano spent eight years with the investment banking firms of Goldman Sachs and First Boston. He was relocated to Tokyo, Japan while with First Boston, where he helped coordinate First Boston Asia Limited’s successful application to become a member of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. In 1989, Lubrano returned to the United States and started his firm, A.P. Lubrano & Company, Inc., which he serves as president. e company has nearly 6,000 clients in 46 states and manages over $300 million in assets. e firm focuses in the areas of wealth management, estate planning and group benefits. Lubrano also currently serves on the Athletic Committee at Penn State. He resides on his farm in Glenmoore, Pa. with his wife and three daughters. His nephew, Drew Irsfeld, is a redshirt sophomore pitcher on this year’s squad.

A FANTASTIC FACILITY Medlar Field at Lubrano Park is one of the top and most comprehensive facilities in all of college baseball. It contains three clubhouses: the Penn State clubhouse (right), the Spikes clubhouse and a visitors’ clubhouse, which is used for both collegiate and professional visiting teams. Penn State’s clubhouse is located just down the hall from the team lounge, which can also serve as a media room. e clubhouse contains lockers for each member of the team, couches, tables, televisions and oﬃces along with lockers for both the head coach and assistant coaches. It is also adjacent to the showers, which are located in between the Penn State and Spikes clubhouses.

Penn State sports one of the top clubhouses in college baseball.

e team lounge (above) can be transformed into a media room (below).

e Penn State Lionettes Dance Team has performed at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park.

e press box can comfortably seat up to 25 media members and contains three broadcast booths along with a closed-oﬀ area for the sound, videoboard and scoreboard operators as well as the public address announcer. Located behind the open area of the press box for print media is the Penn State Sports Journalism Center, another closed-oﬀ area that can be utilized for instruction and classes.

DRAWING TOP CROWDS

Penn State has been a big draw, with 36 crowds of 1,000 or more fans in just three years of Medlar Field at Lubrano Park’s existence. Date Opponent Total 4/21/07 Northwestern 3,946 4/19/08 Indiana 3,739 4/24/09 Illinois 3,279 4/25/09 Illinois 2,749 4/18/08 Indiana 2,596 4/20/07 Northwestern 2,232 4/5/08 Michigan 2,026 4/15/08 Akron 2,012 5/5/07 Purdue 1,839 5/19/07 Ohio State 1,828 3/31/07 Minnesota 1,782 4/26/09 Illinois 1,721 3/30/07 Minnesota 1,704 5/20/07 Ohio State 1,534 4/11/09 Purdue 1,516 5/6/07 Purdue 1,431 4/22/07 Northwestern 1,402 5/15/09 Minnesota 1,387 5/18/07 Ohio State 1,380 4/3/07 Bucknell 1,324 3/27/09 Ohio State 1,313 5/3/08 Michigan State 1,239 3/25/07 Central Connecticut State 1,184 5/10/08 Iowa 1,165 3/28/09 Ohio State 1,153 5/2/08 Michigan State 1,144 4/6/08 Michigan 1,132 4/20/08 Indiana 1,098 5/4/08 Michigan State 1,071 4/12/09 Purdue 1,053 3/24/07 Central Connecticut State 1,043 4/22/08 La Salle 1,036 3/21/08 Lehigh 1,026 3/29/09 Ohio State 1,009 4/2/08 Bucknell 1,005 5/16/09 Minnesota 1,001

Perhaps the most important part of the stadium, in terms of practicing, is the indoor cage area (above and below). is large room contains two batting cages, which includes tain pitcher’s mounds in each cage. ere is also room for exercise and conditioning equipment while the room contains two pitching machines as well. e indoor cages are located directly inside the door from the home bullpen down the right ﬁeld line and just down the hallway from all three clubhouses.

e home bullpen (above) is located directly below the right ﬁeld fun deck, which contains a separate concession stand and tables for fans to eat and drink while watching the game.

STADIUM FIRSTS FIRST STADIUM WORKOUT MAY 17, 2006

Prior to the end of Penn State’s final practice of 2006 at the old Beaver Field, head coach Robbie Wine gathered the team and revealed that they would be finishing their practice over at the new stadium, which had been a secret to all but a few individuals. e team proceeded to conduct the first workout in the new stadium over a month before the first-ever game was played on June 20.

FIRST GAME JUNE 20, 2006

e ﬁrst organized game at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park took place on June 20, 2006 between the State College Spikes and Williamsport Crosscutters in a New York-Penn League game. St. Louis Cardinals and 2006 World Series Champion General Manager Walt Jocketty and Director of Player Development Bruce Manno were both on hand for the special occasion.

FIRST PENN STATE GAME MARCH 23, 2007 Brian Ernst (above) and Matt Cavagnaro (far left) were two of many heroes in Penn State’s opening game win over Central Connecticut State.

e first Penn State game took place on March 23, 2007, an 8-1 Penn State win over Central Connecticut State. Pictured is Craig Clark throwing the first pitch of the game. He went onto toss eight one-hit innings, only allowing one unearned run for the win. Brian Ernst led the way offensively with a 3for-4 effort, including an RBI and two runs scored. Matt Cavagnaro, Joe Blackburn and Rob Yodice also finished the game with two hits apiece.

IN THE COMMUNITY

e Nittany Lions are consistently involed in a number of community activities, ranging from the United Way Day of Caring to raising money for the Kevin Dare Memorial Scholarship, assisting at the U.S. Paralympic Academy and much more. e squad is also involved in THON, a student-run philanthropy at Penn State whose proceeds beneﬁt pediatric cancer treatment and research. Below is just a small sampling of what baseball has been up to.

UNITED WAY DAY OF CARING

e Penn State baseball team volunteered at the Centre Furnace Mansion this past September as part of the PNC Bank - United Way Day of Caring. Nittany Lion players and coaches performed a variety of tasks including digging, sanding, moving mulch and more.

KEVIN DARE FUNDRAISER

U.S. PARALYMPIC ACADEMY

Six players from the baseball team volunteered at the Kevin Dare Fundraiser in September prior to the Penn State vs. Iowa primetime football game. ey sold raﬄe tickets with other student-athletes to sell raﬄe tickets on behalf of the Kevin Dare Memorial Scholarship Fund. Dare was a sophomore pole-vaulter at Penn State who tragically passed away on Feb. 23, 2002 while competing in the Big Ten Men’s Indoor Track and Field Championships. Ever since, SAAB, the Student Athlete Advisory Board, has been instrumental in getting student-athletes involved in the worthy cause.

Members of the baseball team volunteered time at the U.S. Paralympic Academy hosted by Penn State Ability Athletics this November. ey were on hand to assist in the day that featured an introduction to Paralympic sports.

PENN STATE IN THE PROS Drew O’Neil ﬁnished 2009 with an impressive 2.54 ERA for the Kannapolis Intimidators. Major League Veteran David Aardsma has pitched for ﬁve teams in his career, including the Boston Red Sox (left).

Clark was given his San Jose Giants Pitcher of the Year award prior to a game last summer..

On The Top-Flight Coaching Staff “I love it up there. I always listen to Coach [Jason] Bell about his prior minor league experience. He’s an awesome guy, not only as my baseball coach, but also as person. He helped me mentally on the mound [in terms of] handling my emotions. Little things. I always remember everything he told me and I’m still using it now.”

Top Facilities “I threw three years at the old field and was at the new one my last year. Having a minor league baseball field as your college field meant a lot to all of us. Moving into the new one with the locker room like we did and having the indoor baseball cages and mounds, the weight room and the lounge, I think it brought all of us closer. We all used to hang out over there.”

A Well-Rounded University “It’s a well-known university, both athletically and academically. Potential employers read that you graduated from Penn State and like you right away. They’re known for their academics and athletics.”

What Penn State Has To Offer “The great facilities at Penn State allow you to work year-round on a sport that would otherwise only be possible to play a couple months a year. There is also an outstanding athletic training staff whose main focus is to help you in any way possible to be a better athlete.”

Top Competition “The competition at Penn State was a huge factor in my success playing professionally. Three out of my four years, we played the No. 1 team in the country, and with our great preparation, we always expected to come away with a win. The Big Ten conference consistently produces teams ranked in the Top 25.” A World-Renowned Academic Institution “Penn State is not only a great athletic program, but a great place to grow, both socially and academically. Meeting and living with new people was an invaluable experience I had over other players in pro ball, as was a great education from a first-class institution. I would not be where I am today without my time at Penn State. It helped me grow as an athlete and as a person.”

SEASON PREVIEW Last season concluded with a come-from-behind victory over #21 Minnesota to spoil the Golden Gophers’ chances of winning the Big Ten Regular Season Title. A strong start included winning 21 of their first 35 games with two wins over perennial power Michigan and another over eventual regular season champion Ohio State. ough the year didn’t finish as the Nittany Lions would have liked, there were a number of positives which makes 2010 a highly-anticipated campaign. Led by All-Conference performers Ryan Ignas and Jordan Steranka, a young squad has its goals set high. Should they finish in the top six in the conference, the Nittany Lions would make the Big Ten Tournament for the third time in four years. e last time it happened was from 2000-2004 when they qualified four times in a five-year span. Make the Big Ten Tournament and anything can happen - just ask the 2000 team that reached the conference championship. Despite succumbing in the finals, it was awarded an at-large berth into the NCAA Tournament and advanced all the way to the Super Regionals. As we look back at the first decade of the 21st century, the Nittany Lions hope they can ring in the next 10 years as they did the first.

Ben Heath

Louie Picconi

CATCHER

One of the most experienced positions of a young squad is catcher, where juniors Ben Heath and Bobby Jacobs lead a talented quartet. e classmates split time last season, starting all but one game behind the plate. Jacobs finished the year hitting .298 with two home runs and 18 RBI, while Heath batted .289 with three long balls and 20 driven in. Head coach and former Major League catcher Robbie Wine knows that Heath has the intangibles that can make a catcher special. “We’re expecting a good year out of Ben,” said Wine. “e experience he got last year was beneficial. He had a great fall and his leadership really seems to be coming to the forefront.” Arguably more important than a catcher’s hitting is his work with the pitchers, which pitching coach Jason Bell is well aware of. “Ben brings that stability because he’s been back there and he knows everyone pretty well,” he said. “Bobby is a little bit behind right now just for the fact that he missed the fall. When he gets back catching everybody on a regular basis, guys will feel comfortable with him as well.” Behind Heath and Jacobs are junior transfer Mario Eramo and sophomore Ryan Clark. Both have the versatility to play multiple positions, allowing them to see additional time when not catching. Eramo comes to Penn State from Blinn Junior College with a power bat from the left side. He is expected to have multiple roles ranging from DH to even a late-game pinch hitter. On the other end of the spectrum is Clark, who has continued to improve after seeing limited action as a freshman. He moved to the outfield in the fall, but still has the ability to get behind the plate if needed. Depth at the catcher position is something that the Sophomore Jordan Steranka coaching staff hopes to use to its advantage. Each player brings his own skill to the table, combining to form a hybrid of speed, power, average and most importantly, the intangibles that can turn a good catcher into a great catcher. 24

PENN STATE 2010

BASEBALL

FIRST BASE Despite losing Cory Wine, the program’s all-time leader in a number of statistical categories, the Nittany Lions think they have a more than adequate replacement who is ready to step in. Sophomore Joey DeBernardis looks to be the frontrunner and is someone who, as Robbie Wine said, “has a chance to be a special player.” DeBernardis’ talent is well-known, as the Florida Marlins selected him in the 2008 Major League Baseball Entry Draft. He played in 13 games as a freshman, starting four, while posting a .280 average with a home run and two RBI. Robbie is very excited about his upside. “He will hit and play really good defense,” said Wine. “I’m excited about him. We threw him in some games last year, but he didn’t get to play [consistently].” In the mix for key playing time at ﬁrst is redshirt junior Jack Greenberg, who is back and ready to go after redshirting last season. e native of Upper St. Clair hit .300 in limited action in his inaugural Penn State season in 2008. Other ﬁrst base options are senior Gordon Atkisson and freshman Jose Texidor. Atkisson joined the squad after serving as team manager the past two years, while Texidor is one of three current players who attended State College High School.

SECOND BASE

With Landon Nakata’s career coming to an end, senior Louie Picconi is able to slide to his natural position of second base. Along with a sensational glove and solid bat, Picconi is the sparkplug and leader of the infield. “He’s at his position now,” said Wine. “I think he’s an All-Conference candidate if he hits. He will be solid with the glove and make the plays.” Signs are certainly pointing toward a breakout offensive season. Not only has he consistently been steady with the glove (career .954 fielding percentage), but his average has continued to climb as well. After hitting .238 as a freshman, he posted a .248 average as a sophomore and .257 as a junior. Another player who has progressed nicely is redshirt freshman Elliot Searer, who had a good fall season. He could see time in the infield with continued improvement.

SHORTSTOP

Shortstop features a number of intriguing possibilities, led by junior Michael Glantz, who is competing with freshman Luis Montesinos for the starting job. Following an up-and-down first year as a Nittany Lion, Wine is confident that he will bounce back in his second season of Division I action. Glantz did have numerous bright spots in 2009, finishing with one home run and 11 RBI, including six multiple-hit games. “He’s back, he’s working hard and he looks good,” said Wine. Alongside Glantz is Montesinos, a viable option who is expected to be eased into the college game. “We’ll be able to throw him in some midweek and weekend games to get him some experience,” said Wine. “In the event we need him somewhere down the line, he’ll be there for us. We really like where he is and what he’s doing.” Glantz and Montesinos are versatile as well, which could allow them to shift to second or third base if needed.

THIRD BASE

ird will undoubtedly be one of Penn State’s biggest positions of strength for years to come as Steranka returns following a sensational freshman campaign. He made his mark on the college baseball scene in 2009, winning Penn State’s “triple crown” by leading the squad in average (.365), home runs (6) and RBI (42). His performance didn’t go unnoticed; he was recognized by the Big Ten as a ird Team All-Conference performer. e All-America candidate was also strong in the ﬁeld, making only six errors at the “hot

SEASON PREVIEW corner.” Opposing pitchers will be ready to face Steranka this year, which will mark the biggest difference between his freshman and sophomore seasons. He hit in the middle of the lineup last year and is expected to continue in a similar batting position this season. “How Jordan handles being one of ‘the guys’ now is the key and we have 100 percent confidence he will,” said Wine. “He will be the target people look out for. It will be up to the other guys in the lineup to pick up the slack if they decide to pitch around him.” Another possibility at third includes Greenberg, who is also one of the Lions’ top backups at first base.

SCHEDULE

e 2010 schedule includes five games against ‘09 NCAA Tournament teams, highlighted by a showdown at perennial power Texas A&M. Wine, who enters his sixth season as head coach, leads his squad against 12 different conferences and two independents. e Lions will play 22 home games at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park including clashes against conference foes Northwestern, Michigan State, Iowa and Michigan. Along with their usual Big Ten games, the Nittany Lions are set to face teams from the BIG EAST, Big 12, MEAC, Southland Conference, MidAmerican Conference, Ivy League, Big South, CAA, Patriot League, Atlantic 10 and NEC. An impressive 13 opponents finished 2009 with a winning record, including eight with at least 35 wins and four that surpassed 40. "I am very pleased with the balance of our schedule," said Wine. "Our strong nonconference opponents should help us prepare for an always challenging Big Ten slate." Highlighting the schedule are games against NCAA squads Texas A&M, Texas State, Kent State, Minnesota and Ohio State, among many strong foes. e Big Ten Tournament is set for May 26-29 in Columbus, Ohio. After failing to qualify last season, Penn State looks to make it back to the conference tournament for the third time in the last four seasons in search of its first Big Ten Tournament Title in program history.

David Lutz

Despite losing three key starters to graduation (Scott Kelley, Mike Lorentson, T.J. Macy), the Nittany Lions return a strong mix of veterans and youngsters to give the rotation great upside. Spearheading the group is redshirt senior Mike Wanamaker, who missed the entire 2009 season due to injury. e coaching staﬀ loves his makeup. “Mike has that bulldog mentality [and is] a guy you want on the mound,” said Bell. “[He is] the type of guy you have to go out and pry the ball from. He wants the ball in every game.” “Wanamaker is a horse and a competitor, which is what we’re all about,” said Wine. Someone who looks to take the next step is junior left-hander Calvin Grumley. He showed spurts of brilliance as a sophomore which included three quality starts, against Rutgers (7.0 IP, 8 H, 3 ER), New York Tech (6.0 IP, 2 H, 0 ER) and Michigan (6.0 IP, 8 H, 3 ER). With added consistency, he could develop into one of the team’s top and most relied upon starters. “Look for Calvin to come out, have improved command and take a little bit of a leadership role with the starters,” said Bell. “At times, he’s his own worst enemy. When he’s on, he has a chance to be pretty good.” Returning All-Conference performer Ignas could contribute as a starter or out of the bullpen. He was impressive as a freshman in leading the Nittany

BULLPEN

Enter the bullpen and you find a good mix of freshmen phenoms and senior stars. Leading the group is co-captain David Lutz, who led the Lions in ERA last season (3.38). e redshirt senior finished with a 4-2 record and three saves, filling every role from lefty specialist to closer. “Lutz anchors the bullpen for us,” said Bell. “He’s shown the ability to come in and get out left-handers and right-handers and have success in many roles. You know what you’re getting every time he’s out there. He brings that intensity every time.” While Lutz comes from the left side, junior Jesse Alfreno brings a similar game, but from the right. “Jesse is probably the right-handed version of Dave,” he said. “He can go out there and give you quality innings. He’s intense; he gets after it. Both he and Lutz are pretty good athletes, which means a lot.” e closer position is up in the air - a number of pitchers could emerge. One option is Lutz, while Ignas and Walter could also fill the role. Additional pitchers who could see time are: sophomore Drew Irsfeld, senior Drew Palen and junior Mike Pierce. Franklin, Herring and Rumberger could also pitch out of the bullpen if they’re not starting.

Ryan Ignas

e outfield features intriguing possibilities with a number of interchangeable pieces. Lynd, who was second on the Lions with a .356 average last season, will redshirt in 2010 due to injury. at sets the stage for junior transfer Heath Johnson, sophomores Clark and Sean Deegan and freshman Steve Snyder, who appear to have the leg up for playing time. Left and center field will likely feature a young combination of Clark, Deegan and Deegan to fill those two slots. In addition, the third could DH when not playing the field. Clark moved to outfield from catcher, while Deegan saw limited action as a freshman, backing up talented seniors Ryan Boonie, Mike Deese and Rick Marlin. With Lynd’s injury, Snyder is also deep into the outfield mix. e native of West Chester, Pa. impressed during the fall and has a similiar skillset to Lynd, highlighted by his speed. Johnson, a junior college All-American should receive considerable time in right field, but Clark or Deegan could aslo slide over if needed. Johnson comes to Happy Valley from Frank Phillips College in Texas. He is a prototypical two-hole type hitter with strong gap-to-gap power. Another outfielder is State College native and redshirt sophomore Drew Yukelson, who sports a 1.000 career batting average. He redshirted last season after getting a hit in both at-bats in 2008. e one common denominator from the outfield is speed, a great asset in covering the large confines of Medlar Field at Lubrano Park. Along with speed come stolen bases, a department which Snyder could impress. He has big shoes to fill to make up for the loss of Lynd, who finished last season with 22 thefts, which was third in the Big Ten and fourth in Penn State single-season history.

Lions in both wins (5) and saves (5), one of only 10 pitchers in the nation to accomplish that feat. Along with starting two games, he also served as the closer and a middle reliever. “It will be nice to finally get Ryan into a role and let him stay there,” said Bell. “He’s someone who could be a conference starter or a key member of the bullpen. He gives us a lot of flexibility.” A couple of other starting options are freshmen Neal Herring and John Walter. ey both have live arms and will be in the mix for innings. Whether as a starter or reliever, they will get their share of work by the end of the year. “Walter and Herring are both talented freshmen,” said Bell. “Both of them have good arms and have a chance to be impact guys. We want to put them in situations to have a lot of success, then throw them into the fire a little more as the season goes along.” Sophomore Mike Franklin and freshman Erik Rumberger could also start at some point. Franklin started twice last season, including one gem against La Salle when he tossed five hitless innings for his first career win.

HEAD COACH ROBBIE WINE

Robbie

WINE

Sixth Year Oklahoma State, 2002

In just five years at the helm of the Penn State baseball program, head coach Robbie Wine has anchored the Nittany Lions into being one of the most consistent teams in the Big Ten. Wine, the school's 13th coach of all-time, has turned the school's first intercollegiate athletic squad into one that continues to reach new heights. e Lions have been deemed as one of the most progressive teams in the nation by various college baseball media. In 2008, Wine became the first coach in school history to produce back-to-back top three finishes in the Big Ten. After a slow start to the season, the squad staged a dramatic rally to shut out Indiana and Iowa en route to 17 conference wins and the third seed in the proceeding tournament. From 2007-08, the Nittany Lions maintained a .600 winning percentage against Big Ten opposition. Penn State followed those efforts with 25 more wins last year. It was the third straight season of at least 25 victories, one of only four Big Ten squads to do so. After a hot start, the Nittany Lions struggled down the stretch, but a number of bright spots included a win against 21stranked Minnesota in the season finale which prevented the Golden Gophers from winning the Big Ten Regular Season Championship. Penn State also defeated eventual NCAA Tournament participants Indiana and Ohio State and took two-of-three from perennial power Michigan. Wine has helped make Medlar Field at Lubrano Park one of

the best atmospheres in college baseball. e squad drew over 1,000 fans for almost half of its games (10) while drawing over 2,000 two times and 3,000 on one occasion. e Lions have impressed on the field as well, highlighted by a 15-9 home mark in 2008. e Nittany Lions drew four crowds of over 2,000 that year to place 42nd nationally (for the second straight season) in average attendance, beating the ranks of some of college baseball's top programs such as Vanderbilt and Arizona. In only three seasons, Penn State baseball has made Medlar Field at Lubrano Park "one of college baseball's best stadiums." Known and respected throughout both professional and collegiate baseball circles, Wine has used his connections to expand Penn State's recruiting reach. Traditionally known as a regional program, Wine has gradually made Penn State baseball into a nationally-known name. Penn State will enter this season with players from 12 different states: Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Texas. Last year’s squad also had players from Hawai’I, Idaho, Oklahoma and South Carolina. Next year’s incoming class includes two from the state of Massachusetts. Wine has recruited some of the best national talent while signing the top in-state talent as well. e 2010 roster includes an incredible 16 players from the Keystone State, three from State College. Not only are some of the best prep and junior college talents signing with Penn State, but they are also performing once here. Two of Wine’s players (pitcher Scott Kelley and first baseman Cory Wine) were selected in last June’s Major League Baseball Draft. Penn State has seen nine players selected from 2007-09, third most in the Big Ten in that span. In 2008, pitcher Drew O'Neil was selected in the fourth round by the Chicago White Sox, becoming the highest Penn State draftee since Nate Bump went in the first round in 1998. He also marked just the second Penn Stater to be drafted in the top 10 rounds in the past 31 years. Before O'Neil's selection, five players were selected in the 2007 draft, three coming in the first 14 rounds. Wine has 26 years of playing and coaching experience at the college and professional levels. Prior to his first head coaching position, he was an assistant coach in charge of hitting and defense at his alma mater, Oklahoma State. During his tenure, the Cowboys won a Big 12 Tourna-

Wine brings a unique perspective as a former Major League Baseball player; he is currently one of just 13 NCAA Division I coaches out of nearly 300 programs that has played in the big leagues. Born July 13, 1962 in Philadelphia, Robbie is the son of former Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Bobby Wine, who has spent over 40 years in professional baseball and is currently an advanced scout for the Atlanta Braves. Robbie graduated from Methacton High School in Fairview Village, Pa. and went back to school while coaching at Oklahoma State to earn his Bachelor’s Degree in 2002. Wine resides in Boalsburg with his wife Shealynn and son Cory (23) and daughter Mackenzie (19). Cory graduated from Penn State last year following a stellar four-year baseball career. He was selected by the Philadelphia Phillies in the 38th round of last June’s Major League Draft and later played for the Gulf Coast League Phillies.

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING...

Wine was on numerous trading cards in his playing days.

“e first thing I would say about Robbie is that he grew up in the baseball world. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience. His dad was a player and scout for many, many years, so Robbie’s got a pedigree. Something needs to be said for that type of experience and background, which helps out.” “Interestingly enough, he was always sort of quiet, always one of the quietest in the room. You would have never known that his dad was a former player. He was always kind of reserved and had a lot of respect for the game.” -Phil Garner, 31 years of Major League experience (16 as a player & 15 as a manager), Played and coached with Wine “Robbie Wine comes from a tremendous baseball background first and foremost, following his father who was an outstanding player and baseball mind. He learned at home, then having the opportunity to play at Oklahoma State under Gary Ward only maximized his potential in this game.” “I’ve witnessed first hand his ability to recruit, develop and compete with student-athletes at the highest level through our bedlam series (Oklahoma State vs. Oklahoma rivalry). Unfortunately for me, Robbie was standing on the other side of the field; we had tremendous battles. I know Penn State will thrive under his leadership.” -Sunny Golloway, Oklahoma Head Baseball Coach, Played and coached against Wine “I have no problem saying that Coach Wine is the best baseball coach that I had during my playing career. Coach Wine has a unique ability that enables him to relate extremely well with players of all different personalities. Simply put, he’s a player’s coach. Coach Wine puts the interest of his players and the university in front of anything else. I have no doubt that he will continue to take our program to the next level. Coach Wine will continue to attract top student-athletes that have a love and passion for Penn State and I’m confident that he will be able to maximize their potential during their time at University Park.” -Michael Milliron, Penn State ‘05, Played under Wine at Penn State “I have a ton of respect for Coach Wine. ere’s no one else in the game from my view that has brought more energy and passion and makes playing baseball fun. He made playing so enjoyable. He is very knowledgable and has great insight from his playing career. I attribute a lot of my success to his tutelage.” -Billy Gasparino, Current Toronto Blue Jays scout, Played for Wine at Oklahoma State “I have known Robbie Wine for the better part of 30 years. He was a great player at Oklahoma State when we had many competitive battles on the field against the Cowboys. We followed his professional career with great interest and had the wonderful experience of playing against him since he’s been the head coach at Penn State. He is a fine example for young men everywhere and a great coach as well. We look forward to many more opportunities to compete against the Nittany Lions in the future.” -Gene Stephenson, Wichita State Head Baseball Coach “Robbie Wine is one of the top coaches in our game. He runs his program in a first-class manner and his players are successful in the classroom and on the baseball field. I have no doubts that he will continue to build a quality program at Penn State and compete for Big Ten Championships!” -Ritch Price, Kansas Head Baseball Coach

BELL

Sixth Year Oklahoma State, 2003

roughout his successful collegiate coaching career, Robbie Wine has relied on assistant coach Jason Bell to oversee his teams' pitching, both at Oklahoma State and now at Penn State. Wine and Bell, in their ninth season together, have produced a talented core of pitchers that are expected to shine in 2010. Bell, who enters his sixth season in Happy Valley, has served as the team’s pitching coach while also heavily involved in recruiting with fellow assistant coach Eric Folmar. Possessing an impressive list of credentials, the former second-round Major League Draft pick came to Penn State with Wine in the fall of 2004. In his first five years with the Nittany Lions, Bell has overseen a dramatic improvement in the pitching staff. Last season saw a pair of relievers come into their own, led by David Lutz’s team-leading 3.38 ERA. Two-sport athlete Jesse Alfreno also impressed in his first year on the squad, posting a 4.44 ERA with a stellar .226 opponent batting average. In addition, converted outfielder Scott Kelley was selected by the Kansas City Royals in the 23rd round of the Major League Baseball Amateur Draft. e previous June, one of Bell's protégés became the program's top draft pick as Drew O'Neil was selected in the fourth round by the Chicago White Sox. O'Neil, a First Team All-Big Ten selection, tied his own Penn State single-season saves record with 11 while boasting a 1.88 ERA and allowing just four earned runs through the regular season. Mike Wanamaker, who is set to return to the mound this year, made excellent gains throughout 2008, throwing four complete games - including one against Indiana in the Big Ten Tournament and compiling a 3.41 ERA. Penn State allowed the fewest home runs (26) in the Big Ten that season. In 2007, Penn State led the conference in ERA (4.05), fewest runs, fewest earned runs and fewest hits allowed to spearhead Penn State’s 10.5 game improvement from ‘06. Penn State led Big Ten pitching by wide margins in conference play. e Nittany Lions' 3.41 overall team ERA was tops by a full 1.39 runs. e 112 runs and 89 earned runs allowed were also the fewest. In fact, Penn State was the only team to give up less than 100 earned runs in conference play (fewer than three earned runs per game). e Nittany Lion hurlers also allowed the second-fewest hits in the league and picked up 20 wins,

also second-best. Four of Bell's TOP PITCHING pitchers were drafted come June: STATISTICS UNDER BELL Gary Amato, Craig Clark, Scott Wins 31 (2007) Gaffney and Drew O'Neil. Complete Games 9 (2006) Amato, Clark and Gaffney all Shutouts 5 (2005) 4.05 (2007) signed professional contracts ERA 377 (2005) while O'Neil, who set the school Strikeouts Opp. Batting Average .278 (2007) record for saves in a season and Saves 14 (2007) had a scoreless inning streak Walks per game 2.8 (2006) reach 20.1 innings, elected to WHIP 1.45 (2007) return to school despite being an eighth round pick. Penn State led the Big Ten in fewest walks with just 157 in 435 innings of work in 2006. Clark was tied for third in the Big Ten in fewest walks with just 14 in 91.2 innings, including a streak of 26.2 straight innings without a free pass. Overall, the pitching staff had a 2.22:1 strikeout to walk ratio and was second in the Big Ten in strikeouts through the end of the regular season before eventually finishing in a fifth-place tie with 349. Additionally, Alan Stidfole, signed a free agent contract with the Toronto Blue Jays. In his first year as pitching coach in 2005, Bell guided the staff to five shutouts and better than a 2:1 strikeout to walk ratio. Two pitchers, Sean Stidfole and Josh Palm, were also drafted. A co-worker of Wine's at Oklahoma State, Bell served as volunteer assistant coach in charge of pitching for three seasons. During his time with the Cowboys, he aided in the development of seven pitchers who were taken in the Major League Baseball Amateur Draft, including a second and fourth-rounder. e Cowboys also won the 2004 Big 12 Conference Championship. Some notable pitchers he coached at Oklahoma State include current big leaguers Scott Baker (Minnesota) and Scott Richmond (Toronto). Like Wine, Bell has a wide variety of playing and coaching experience, both at the collegiate and professional ranks, that totals 18 years. Prior to his threeyear stint as an assistant coach, he pitched in the minor leagues from 1995-2001. He was selected in the second round of the 1995 draft by the Minnesota Twins and played with the Low-A Fort Wayne Wizards, the High-A Fort Myers Miracle, the Double-A New Britain Rock Cats and the Triple-A Salt Lake City Buzz. He also played in the Toronto Blue Jays' system for both their Double-A (Tennessee) and Triple-A (Syracuse) teams. Bell holds the New Britain Rock Cats' franchise record for career strikeouts and is second in wins. Prior to playing professionally, Bell pitched at Oklahoma State from 199395. While there, he participated in the 1993 College World Series and was an All-Big Eight selection in 1994 and 1995, when he led the Cowboys in ERA (3.30 and 3.10), innings pitched (128 and 145) and strikeouts (140 and 120). He was also a two-time All-American in 1994 and 1995, helping the team to three Big Eight Championships. He pitched 325.1 career innings, secondmost in school history while his 31 victories are third. Bell’s 145 innings pitched and 19 games started in 1995 are both school records. He also holds the school record for consecutive victories with 19, spanning from 1993-95. A native of Orlando, Fla. Bell graduated from William R. Boone High School in Orlando in 1992. He earned his bachelor's degree from Oklahoma State in Sociology in 2003 after returning to school following his professional career. Bell resides with his wife Tracy and newborn, Reagan Elizabeth. e Bell Family: Reagan, Tracy and Jason

He serves as the program's recruiting coordinator and is responsible for coaching the infielders, outfielders and base running, as well as assisting with day-to-day operations. He also serves as the team's third base coach. Prior to Penn State, he spent four years as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Old Dominion. Folmar has teamed with pitching coach Jason Bell to bring top talent to Happy Valley. He has brought in players like former pitcher Drew O’Neil, who went on to twice be selected in the top 10 rounds of the Major League Baseball Draft. After getting drafted in the eighth round by the Cincinnati Reds in 2007, he chose to remain in school and was then picked in the fourth round by the Chicago White Sox in ‘08. Folmar has also recruited some of the top in-state talent as 16 members of the current team are from the Keystone State. Penn State has consistently been near the top of the Big Ten in double plays since Folmar’s arrival. Last season, the Nittany Lions turned the most double plays in the conference (66), four ahead of Indiana in second. ey also finished with a .964 team fielding percentage, better than the Big Ten average and their best showing since 2006.

Will

HOOVER Second Year Phoenix, 2007

Will Hoover, a former scout, coach and minor league baseball player, enters his second season as assistant coach with the Penn State baseball program. Hoover contributes to much of the day-to-day coaching of the Nittany Lions. His main focus is the hitters, working with them in outlining the offensive approach, running drills and performing video analysis. Other duties involve working with the catchers while also serving as the first base coach on game day. Under his tutealage, Penn State put forth a solid offensive season in 2009. Led by freshman Jordan Steranka, the Lions finished the season with a .294 team batting average, their highest since the 2005 season when they hit at a .302 clip. On an individual basis, Steranka netted Penn State’s “triple crown,” leading the squad in batting average (.365), home runs (6) and RBI (42). He was later named to the All-Big Ten ird Team and to the All-Rookie Team. In total, four players finished with a .300 or better average with three others within .05 of that mark. Along with Steranka, two others drove in 40 or more runs. e native of Cumberland, Pa. previously managed the Cedar Cliff (Camp Hill, Pa.) High School varsity baseball team. During his very successful tenure, the Colts amassed 149 victories and were consistently at or near the top of the Mid-Penn conference as a perennial playoff team. He was honored with the Mid-Penn Conference Baseball Coach of the Year accolades in 2005 when he led the squad to a conference championship. Hoover graduated 45 All-Conference players with 96 percent of them going on to college. Many of his players went on to play at various Division I, II, and III programs throughout the country.

"Coach Hoover has been a great resource to our team ever since his addition to the coaching staff. He has spent many hours working with the hitters in the cage and watching video. His coaching has made a positive impact on our offensive production as a team and in our approach to hitting. As a player that has worked with Coach Hoover frequently, I have benefited from his teaching and he has helped me improve my game, both offensively and defensively." Junior Catcher Ben Heath "Coach Hoover has helped me greatly with my personal development as a hitter. The intelligence he has for the subject of hitting is extraordinary. In the short two years I've been here, the knowledge about hitting that I have learned from him has helped me grow tremendously as a hitter. Coach has been a great addition to the staff and his expertise significantly benefits our team." Sophomore Third Baseman Jordan Steranka “Coach Hoover is a tremendous asset to our team. His knowledge and love for the game is unlike anyone I have ever been around. He has helped me in every aspect of my game, and I learn something new every time I am around him. The commitment and time he has given to this program has earned the respect of all the players.” Senior Second Baseman Louie Picconi

REVIEW NOTEBOOK NITTANY LIONS RIDE ROLLER COASTER IN 2009 • e Penn State baseball team entered the ‘09 season with high hopes. After starting the year on fire, the Lions fell short of reaching their third-consecutive Big Ten Tournament. Despite the disappointment, the squad did finish with a 25-26 record, one of only four Big Ten teams (along with Illinois, Michigan and Ohio State) to post 25 or more victories in each of the last three seasons. • e Nittany Lions won 13 of their first 21 games and 21 of their first 35. Included in that stretch was taking two of three at the inaugural Big Ten/BIG EAST Challenge. ey were one of six Big Ten squads to finish the weekend with a winning record. • ey then went on to battle at #4 Texas, but were swept by the powerhouse Longhorns. Included was a nail-biting 1-0 defeat in which senior T.J. Macy sparkled on the mound. • Penn State subsequently won six of its next nine, but the best was yet to come as the Lions followed with six straight wins in the latter stages of March. After the streak was snapped, they rebounded with a thrilling 15-11 victory over #16 Ohio State on Mar. 29. • Success continued into the beginning of April, with notable wins coming against perennial conference power Michigan, eventual NCAA qualifier Indiana and Big Ten Tournament participant Purdue. e Nittany Lions would finish the year having beaten four of the six tournament participants at least once. • Following their huge win over Indiana on Apr. 17, the Nittany Lions would struggle down the stretch. • Penn State was still alive for a postseason berth heading into the final weekend of the regular season at home. Despite dropping the first two games against #21 Minnesota to eliminate any postseason aspirations, the Lions would ultimately have a say in the Big Ten race. ey then went on to a thrilling 10-8 win on May 16 amidst two rain delays to prevent the Golden Gophers from winning the Big Ten Regular Season Championship, while also concluding the season on a positive note. FRESHMEN IGNAS & STERANKA HIGHLIGHT BIG TEN POSTSEASON HONORS • Penn State freshmen Ryan Ignas and Jordan Steranka were both named to the All-Big Ten ird Team, marking the first time since 1995 that the Nittany Lions netted multiple freshmen on the All-Conference squad. • Ignas enjoyed an impressive rookie season, leading the team in both wins and saves. He was one of just 10 players in all of Division I to accomplish that feat. He appeared in 22 games (two starts) with a 5-1 record, 5.31 ERA and 1.25 WHIP (walks and hits per innings pitched). He posted five saves while holding opponents to a .270 average. • Steranka made his mark on Penn State baseball history, becoming the program’s all-time single-season hits leader for a freshman. e third baseman tallied 70 and also earned the team’s “triple crown,” leading in average (.365), home runs (6) and RBI (42). He was atop triples (3) and runs scored (39) as well. • In addition to All-Conference accolades, Steranka was a unanimous choice as the All-Freshman Team third baseman. • Ryan Boonie was awarded the Sportsmanship Award, which is presented to one player from each of the Big Ten baseball programs. 72

PENN STATE 2010

BASEBALL

HITTING STREAKS APLENTY • e 2009 season saw a number of lengthy hitting streaks from Penn State players. • e top came from freshman Jordan Steranka (18 games), which was tied for fourth in program history. • In addition, senior Blake Lynd and sophomore Grant Youngblood saw streaks reach 14 games, tied for 15th all-time. • In fact, Youngblood’s streak was actually 15 games dating back to the final game of 2008. at mark is the fourth-longest to bridge two seasons. • Louie Picconi also posted a career-best 11-game hitting streak. • All the impressive marks are still far from the Penn State all-time leader, Michael Campo, whose streak reached 41 games in 2000. • For the complete list of hitting streaks, please see page 104. MILESTONE GAME FOR PENN STATE BASEBALL • Penn State played in its 3,000th all-time game on Mar. 1 of last season. Fittingly, it came against the winningest program in NCAA history, Texas. • e Nittany Lions stand in the top 50 in all-time winning percentage among schools with a minimum of 25 years in Division I. eir all-time record is 1,835-1,188-21 (.606). • Baseball is the oldest intercollegiate sport at Penn State, dating back to its debut in 1875. is season marks the Nittany Lions’ 122nd in program history due to not fielding a team for several years in the late 1880s. Penn State is one of only a select few schools in the nation to boast a team for at least 120 years. LUTZ, ALFRENO EMERGE IN PEN • Lefty David Lutz and righty Jesse Alfreno impressed in the bullpen last season, finishing atop the team in ERA (3.38 and 4.44, respectively). Both took very different paths to where they are today as arguably the top pitchers in the Lions’ pen. • Lutz, a former walk-on was Penn State’s most consistent pitcher in 2009, finishing with a 4-2 record and three saves to go with his stout ERA. Batters only hit .247 again him. • Alfreno, also a member of the Penn State football team, impressed in his first collegiate baseball season. He made his mark from the beginning, going nine innings spanning his first five appearances before allowing a run. Opponents only hit .226 against him for the year. • e duo allowed fewer hits than innings pitched. e only other Nittany Lion with at least 10 innings of work to accomplish that was T.J. Macy, who gave up 76 base knocks in a team-leading 76.1 innings. CORY WINE FINISHES PENN STATE CAREER AMONG PROGRAM’S BEST • Cory Wine concluded his collegiate career in 2009 among Penn State’s career statistical leaders in a number of categories. • One of the top hitters last year and throughout his entire career, he finished his senior season with a .307 average, five home runs and 41 RBI. • He leaves as the Penn State all-time leader in three categories: at-bats (799), putouts (1,903) and sacrifice flies (13, tie). • Wine is also third in career hits (228), triples (9) and total bases (338), fifth in RBI (128), sixth in doubles (44) and eighth in walks (85). • His 458 putouts last season were third in single-season history. Wine owns the top four all-time slots.

Pitcher Scott Kelley was selected in the 23rd round, ﬁrst baseman Cory Wine in the 38th and Nittany Lion football player Anthony Scirrotto in the 50th. • Kelley was the ﬁrst selectee, going to the Kansas City Royals with the 692nd overall pick. • e following day, Wine was selected in the 38th round (1,157th overall) by his grandfather’s old team, the Philadelphia Phillies. Bobby played eight seasons for the Phillies in the 1960s. • en, a surprise selection came as Penn State football safety Scirrotto was picked in the 50th round, also by the Royals. Scirroto last played baseball in high school, but was highly-touted and considered by many as a potential second-round Major League Draft selection coming out of high school. He chose to play football at Penn State rather than pursuing a baseball career.

Mike Deese

FORMER PENN STATERS IMPRESS IN THE PROFESSIONAL RANKS • Former Nittany Lions continued to represent Penn State well in the pros in 2009, highlighted by Craig Clark’s emergence as a dominant pitcher in the California League (High-A). • e San Jose Giants pitcher finished the year with a 16-2 record and 2.86 ERA to win the league’s pitcher of the year honors. He was promoted to Double-A Connecticut to finish the season and pitched against both New Britain and Akron in the Eastern League Playoffs. • Clark also made news on June 1 by striking out 10 consecutive Stockton Port batters to tie a California League record. He finished the season among the league leaders in K’s with 135 in 147.2 innings of work. • Also emerging was David Aardsma of the Seattle Mariners, who had a breakout season in his first experience as a Major League closer. Aardsma, who pitched in Happy Valley in 2001, finished the season tied for fourth in the American League in saves with 38. He also struck out 80 batters in 71.1 innings, only allowing 49 hits for a miniscule .190 batting average against. He posted a career-best 2.52 ERA for the year. • Another feel-good story came from pitcher and former first round pick Nate Bump. After winning a World Series with the Marlins in 2003, he bounced around and eventually found himself with the Independent League’s Camden Riversharks last season. He was signed by the Detroit

PROGRAM TIMELINE 1952

The Performance: e Lions posted a 17-6 record en route to their first College World Series appearance in school history. The Story: Anchored by freshman Keith Vesling (7-3, 2.40 ERA, 82.1 IP), Penn State’s three-man rotation dominated opposing hitters. Bill Everson and Jack Krumrine each posted 5-1 marks to round out a rotation that combined for all 17 of the Lions’ wins. The Result: After a fine season and back-to-back wins in the District II Regionals, the Nittany Lions bowed out of their first CWS appearance. ey fell to eventual champion, Holy Cross, and took home a tie for third.

1956

Joe Bedenk

The Performance: e “Technology Bandwagon” made its way through Happy Valley as coach Joe Bedenk invested in an early model of today’s pitching machine. e machine, an awkward and ineﬃcient contraption, was able to hurl one ball every eight seconds. The Story: After having his spring batting practices delayed weeks at a time due to weather conditions, Bedenk was ﬁnally able to take his men indoors to get their swings. In addition to buying his batters over two weeks of extra batting practice, the machine also kept his pitchers’ arms fresh as they threw batting practice in previous years.

Series champion Oklahoma State. e persistent Lions fought back through the losers’ bracket by shutting out Clemson 7-0, only to fall to the same Oklahoma State Cowboys, 4-3, when the Cowboys rallied for two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning. It marked the third time in the decade in which Penn State lost to the eventual College World Series Champion. e Nittany Lions ﬁnished fourth.

1963

The Performance: In Chuck Medlar’s first season at the Penn State coaching helm, his Lions posted a 14-6 record in making their first and last College World Series appearance of the decade.

He became just the third of eight Nittany Lions to toss no-hitters and the first to accomplish the feat twice. The Result: Medlar debuted in fine fashion, leading his squad to the College World Series after a three-year absence. e Lions, after finishing the regular season 11-4, won three of their five postseason matchups to close the season with a 14-6 record and a fifth-place CWS finish.

1973

The Result: It didn’t take long to see a return on the technological investment. e 1957 squad made a run to the College World Series Finals.

The Performance: Penn State, again led by a dominant pitching staﬀ, posted a 19-7 record and made the last of its ﬁve College World Series appearances.

The Performance: After reeling oﬀ a school-record 21 consecutive wins to start the year, the 1957 Nittany Lions became arguably the best team in school history and in doing so, became the benchmark for success in Happy Valley. Finishing with a 22-2 record and a school-best second place ﬁnish in the College World Series.

The Story: Mitch Lukevics, a freshman, turned in one of the most dominating pitching performances in school history to lead a rock-solid Nittany Lion squad. Lukevics, from nearby Bellefonte, posted a 7-2 record with a 1.23 ERA in the ﬁrst of his three seasons at Penn State. To go along with his impressive stats, he ﬁnished the season with 86 strikeouts in just 65.2 innings of work, a ratio of 11.7 K per nine innings (seventh in the nation).

1957

The Story: Legendary hurler Ed Drapcho (12-0, 1.52 ERA; single-season school record wins) and two-sport star Cal Emery (10-1, captain of basketball team) posted all 22 of the Lions’ wins. e tandem also tallied an astounding 15 complete games and gave up a combined 29 earned runs. Drapcho became the school’s ﬁrst-ever First Team All-American and Emery, despite the Penn State loss to California in the CWS Finals, became the only NCAA Tournament MVP in school history. The Result: After a 17-0 regular season and four consecutive postseason victories, the squad ran into a juggernaut in the University of California. Penn State fell defeat in both the second round and ﬁnals to take runnerup honors while making its mark in the record books.

Lukevics in the Penn State Record Book Career Record: 24-5 (3rd in wins) ERA: 1.24 (1st) Strikeouts: 266 (3rd) Shutouts: 9 (1st) Single-Season Shutouts: 3 (2nd) Wins: 11 (1975, 2nd) The Result: Despite going 0-2 in the College World Series, the Lions ﬁnished the postseason with a 3-2 mark and an overall record of 19-7.

1959

The Performance: Reminiscent to the 1952 season in which Penn State made its ﬁrst College World Series, the 1959 squad posted an identical 176 record while making the school’s third CWS appearance.

Scott Russo

The Story: As per the theme of the 1950s, dominant pitching led the Lions into the postseason. e staﬀ as a whole posted a skimpy 2.66 ERA for a Nittany Lion squad that outscored its opponents by a 172-89 margin. The Result: Penn State defeated Connecticut, 5-3, in the ﬁrst round before falling into the losers’ bracket after an 8-6 loss to eventual College World 102

Vogel was rewarded again after the season by becoming the firstever Penn Stater to be selected in the first round of the Major League Baseball Draft.

1978

The Performance: David Simononis turned in arguably the best oﬀensive season in Penn State history. The Storyline: Simononis hit a school-record 17 home runs, all with signiﬁcant meaning. Penn State went 11-2 in games when Simononis homered and just 6-4-2 when he didn’t.

The Result: Simononis not only led the Lions to a solid 17-6-2 record, but he also propelled himself into the Penn State record books with his dominant oﬀensive performance.

1990

The Performance: O.J McDuffie, of PSU Football and NFL fame, played his first and last season for the Nittany Lion baseball squad. The Storyline: McDuffie stole 20 bases (t-3rd, single season-school history) on 21 attempts (96 percent clip), hit .336 and had a .969 fielding percentage.

Pct. .570 .705 .627 .444 .536 .643 .532 .473 .409 .255

The Performance: After a 24-year NCAA absence, the 2000 Lions posted a 45-19 record and advanced to the postseason for the first time since 1976. The Storyline: Led by the banner year of First Team All-American Michael Campo, Penn State tallied a 41-16 regular season record. Campo established single-season school records in at-bats (261), hits (111), doubles (24) and runs (83) on his way to Big Ten Player of the Year and Academic All-Big Ten accolades. In postseason action, freshman Kevin Damiano stepped into the limelight. In the Upper Montclair Regional, Damiano’s nine innings with just six hits allowed against North Carolina earned Penn State the Regional Title and himself the Most Outstanding Player Award. e Lions cruised through the regional with a 4-1 record, including two victories over the Tar Heels. The Result: Despite dropping back-to-back games to Texas in Super Regional action, the 2000 Lions finished a school-record 45 wins. e program also saw five players - Shawn Fagan, Matt Harter, Eric Spadt, Chris Netwall and Scott Russo - drafted by Major League clubs.

2007

The Performance: Penn State set a school record for most Big Ten wins and tied its second-best finish in the Big Ten. Numerous individuals also break school records. The Storyline: After starting out the season 2-12 against one of the toughest schedules in the country, the Nittany Lions finished the year with a 29-14 record to finish 31-26, just the fifth time with at least 30 wins in school history. Penn State also tied for second in the Big Ten behind a 2010 conference record. at mark is tied with the 2000 team for the second-best Big Ten finish in school history while surpassing the 19 Big Ten games won by the 1996 squad for the most in school history. e team also won three Big Ten Tournament games (tied for most in school history) while its five Big Ten series wins were tied for the second most. Individually, Drew O’Neil broke the school record for most saves in a season with 11. Matt Ogrodnik broke his own school record by appearing in 29 games while Scott Gaffney’s 17 sacrifices were a new record as well. In addition, Cory Wine broke his own mark for putouts with 521. The Result: Despite its hot streak at the end of the year that featured wins in five of its last six Big Ten series and three straight in the conference tournament, Penn State fell just short of an NCAA Tournament berth. However, the Nittany Lions ended their first season at Medlar Field at Lubrano Park with some new records, many memories and with upward momentum for the program.

DID YOU KNOW?

• Over the last three years, Penn State has had the third most draft selections out of all the Big Ten schools. • Two current Nittany Lions were drafted out of high school: Mike Wanamaker (Pittsburgh Pirates in 2005) and Joey DeBernardis (Florida Marlins in 2008). • Nate Bump recently won a World Series with the 2003 Florida Marlins. He saw action in two games in the National League Championship Series against the Chicago Cubs. • A number of draftees have come from the Penn State football program, most recently Anthony Scirrotto this past June. Among the other two-sport athletes were Kerry Collins, currently of the NFL’s Tennesse Titans, who was drafted on three seperate occasions, but opted to pursue football. • O.J. McDuffie (below), who played for the Nittany Lion baseball team in 1990, actually reached the highest level of his other sport, football. The wide receiver starred for the NFL’s Miami Dolphins, finishing his career with 415 receptions, fourth in franchise history. His best season came in 1998 when he made a league-leading 90 catches.

LEGEND OF MONTE WARD “In the spring of 1875, Old Main on the Penn State campus looked down on a strange sight. On the front lawn, a small crowd was gathering in a semi-circle. In the center were three stakes driven in a straight line. And there was a stocky, light-haired youth with a baseball in his hand. “The youth stationed himself at one end of the row of stakes and placed a companion at the other. He poised himself a moment, then threw the baseball. It started on the right side of the first stake, passed to the left of the second and curved back to the right of the third before the companion caught it. “The crowd pressed closer. Professor William A. Buckhout leaned forward. The youth repeated the feat. History does not record whether the crowd was convinced, but it does say that John Montgomery Ward was one of the first curve-ball pitchers in baseball history.”

Those words were taken out of a 1954 story in the Centre Democrat about Ward. Nittany Lion fans have heard of Greg Vogel, Nate Bump and Michael Campo. Those three are arguably three of the best players to ever compete in Happy Valley. But the most heralded player to wear the blue and white (black and pink at the time) was John Montgomery Ward, who went by the name “Monte”. The story of Ward has been visited and revisited many times, but it never gets old and it’s always enjoyable to hear. The gifted student and athlete was a native of nearby Bellefonte, Pa. He was born on March 3, 1860, and enrolled at Penn State College at the ripe age of 13. He attended Penn State for several years and is generally given credit for helping found the very first Nittany Lion baseball team in 1875. However, the young pioneer never graduated from Penn State because he was kicked out of school for stealing chickens after numerous warnings from the administration. He received his Bachelor’s and Law degrees from Columbia University in 1887. Ward’s one year on the Penn State squad presented opportunities that led him into the 1964 class of the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame. During his illustrious major league career, Ward posted a .371 batting average twice, won 40-plus games as a pitcher twice, pitched the second perfect game in the history of baseball and served as captain and manager of the original New York Giants. Ward set a major league record for most assists (12) by a second baseman in a nine inning game on June 10, 1892 (the first game of a doubleheader). That record still stands today and is held with seven other players - Ryne Sandberg, Harold Reynolds, Juan Samuel, Glenn Hubbard, Jim Gilliam, Tony Phillips and Don Money.

He accrued 2,151 hits while maintaining a career .283 batting average playing shortstop. As a pitcher, he won 158 games and recorded 25 shutouts with his curveball. In addition, he just missed another perfect game in 1882, allowing a home run in the 18th inning of a 1-0 defeat. The New York HeraldTribune once said, “Mr. Ward was one of the few men in baseball who started at the bottom and later became captain, manager and president of major league baseball clubs.” Ward posted a 412320 (.563) record as a manager for four different teams. His statistics are impressive for a late-19th Century ballplayer. But his contributions to the game go much further than what the record books say. Ward has been credited with three major additions that have changed the game forever. In 1876, while attending Penn State and playing in a game for Lock Haven, Ward suffered a humiliating 40-0 loss against the Harrisburg “High Boys,” which were the amateur baseball champions of Pennsylvania. Billy Hutter struck out 18 consecutive Lock Haven batters in the game. Little did he know at the time, but Ward received the big break he needed after that game. Hutter kept the Lock Haven offense off balance with his curveball. The “curve pitch,” as it was called, was only in its infancy at the time and had yet to be perfected. Ward approached Hutter following the game, introduced himself, and learned the fundamentals of the curve behind the Harrisburg team hotel. Ward perfected the pitch - and the rest is history. The New York Mutuals’ Art Cummings pitched a curveball earlier than Hutter, which he learned from Bobby Matthews, but none reached the heights that Ward did. While the curveball was a major addition to the game, Ward added a few other dimensions to the game that players from middle school to the major leagues use as tactics to this very day. Ward is credited as one of the creative minds in developing schemes for defending the double steal. He is also believed to be the first pitcher to intentionally walk a batter in order to set up a double play.

NITTANY LION TRADITIONS

NITTANY LION LEGEND Penn State’s athletic symbol, chosen by the student body in 1906, is the mountain lion which once roamed central Pennsylvania. H.D. “Joe" Mason, a member of the Class of 1907, conducted a one-man campaign to choose a school mascot after seeing the Princeton tiger on a trip with the Penn State baseball team to that New Jersey campus. A student publication sponsored the campaign to select a mascot and Penn State is believed to be the ﬁrst college to adopt the lion as a mascot. Since Penn State is located in the Nittany Valley at the foot of Mount Nittany, the lion was designated as a Nittany Lion. In regional folklore, Nittany (or Nita-Nee) was a valorous Indian princess in whose honor the Great Spirit caused Mount Nittany to be formed. A later namesake, daughter of chief O-Ko-Cho, who lived near the mouth of Penn’s Creek, fell in love with Malachi Boyer, a trader. e tearful maiden and her lost lover became legend and her name was given to the stately mountain. THE NITTANY LION SHRINE Penn State’s Nittany Lion shrine was dedicated on October 24, 1942, during Homecoming Weekend. Animal sculptor Heinz Warneke and stonecutter Joseph Garatti molded a 13-ton block of Indiana limestone into the most recognizable symbol of Penn State. e shrine was chosen from six models submitted by Warneke. e shrine is a gift of the Class of 1940 and rests in a natural setting of trees near Recreation Building. e site was chosen because of its accessibility, the surrounding trees and the fact that the sculpture would not be dwarfed by nearby buildings. BLUE & WHITE Penn State’s student-athletes are instantly identiﬁed by their blue and white uniforms — but those weren’t the original school colors. 120

A three-member committee representing the sophomore, junior and senior classes was appointed in October of 1887 to develop color options from which the student body would select the school’s oﬃcial colors. Dark pink and black was the unanimous choice of the student body after considering the color combinations presented by the committee. Soon many students and the baseball team were sporting pink and black striped blazers and caps. However, problems arose when the pink faded to white after several weeks of exposure to the sun. e students then opted for blue, rather than black, and white. e oﬃcial announcement of the new choice was made on March 18, 1890.

STATE COLLEGE AREA Located among mountains and valleys in the exact geographic center of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Centre County thrives on its ability to blend education with industry, technology, historic shopping districts and farming communities. e heart of the Centre Region is State College, a community featuring the best that life has to oﬀer, in education, commerce, culture and recreation. is mixture of the cosmopolitan and pastoral works so well that to many the Centre Region is known as “Happy Valley." e region is frequently ranked near the top of the charts by Money magazine’s “Best Places To Live" and Rand McNally’s “Retirement Places Rated Guide." In the late 1980’s, Psychology Today called State College the least stressful place in the United States.

Centre County is home to e Pennsylvania State University, one of the ﬁnest teaching and research institutions in the land. Penn State’s impact is great, from the touring Broadway shows that visit campus to two recent additions: the Penn State Research Park and the 15,261-seat Bryce Jordan Center. e ebb-and-ﬂow of students and activity in State College creates a vital downtown that always is bustling, but this is especially so during home football weekends in the fall and the nationallyacclaimed Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts every July. Escape isn’t far away. Less than 20 minutes from campus are quiet towns and villages with charms of their very own, as well as mountains, lakes and roaring streams and brooks.

ATHLETIC DIRECTOR TIM CURLEY

Tim

CURLEY

16th Year DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

Well into his second decade as the architect of the Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics program, Tim Curley’s dynamic and passionate leadership has been the driving force behind the Nittany Lions’ tremendous level of athletic and academic achievement. Named Director of Athletics on December 30, 1993, Curley’s leadership has lifted Penn State among the nation’s premier athletic departments. During the Nittany Lions’ 16 full years as members of the Big Ten Conference, Penn State has captured 17 NCAA Championships, almost double the next closest Big Ten school. Curley has seen Nittany Lion squads win 56 Big Ten titles and numerous individual national and conference crowns during his 15-plus years directing Penn State’s comprehensive and nationally-respected athletic program. The Lions have won six NCAA Championships since March 2007. In the 2008 fall semester, the women’s volleyball team won an unprecedented sixth consecutive outright Big Ten Championship and captured its second consecutive NCAA title, earning a 38-0 record. The football team won its second conference title in the past four years and played in the 2009 Rose Bowl. The women’s soccer team won its 10th consecutive Big Ten Championship, the second-longest string of Big Ten women’s titles in any sport. The field hockey team also won the Big Ten title. In the spring of 2009, the fencing team won its ninth NCAA Championship under Curley’s watch and the women’s track and field team captured its second consecutive Big Ten Outdoor title. The Nittany Lion basketball team won its first National Invitation Tournament championship, posting a program-record 27 victories. Seventeen squads were represented in their respective NCAA Championships in 2008-09. An impressive eight teams finished in the Top 5 in 2007-08. Include the 56 All-Americans and 41 first-team All-Big Ten selections (48 total first-team all-conference honorees), a record student-athlete Graduation Success Rate of 89 percent and a record 11 Academic All-Americans and 2008-09 was another tremendous year of Success With Honor for the Nittany Lions. In June 2009, Curley again was recognized for his efforts in helping Penn State maintain its stature as one of the nation’s premier athletic programs with his selection as the Northeast Athletic Director-of-the-Year by NACDA. He was one of just four regional Division I-A honorees and previously earned the award in 2003. As he surveys the athletic program he has been instrumental in assembling over the past 33 years, Tim Curley can’t help but be proud of the athletic and academic accomplishments of Penn State’s 750 student-athletes in 29 varsity sports: During a visit to the University Park campus, NCAA President Myles Brand stated, “Penn State is the poster child for doing it right in college sports.” In the initial 16 years of the NACDA Directors’ Cup all-sports survey, Penn State has finished in the Top 25 every year, earning seven Top 10 finishes and four Top five placings. The Nittany Lions finished No. 9 in 2007-08 and No. 19 this past year. In the most recent comprehensive look at the 117 colleges and universities participating in Division I football and men’s basketball, U.S. News and World Report selected Penn State as one of 10 Division I-A institutions for its College Sports Honor Roll. Penn State has captured 17 NCAA Championships in men’s and women’s volleyball; men’s and women’s fencing and men’s gymnastics during Curley’s tenure. Nittany and Lady Lion teams have made 29 NCAA “Final Four” appearances during his tenure. Penn State also has established itself as a force in the highly competitive Big Ten — winning 60 regular-season or tournament titles in football, baseball, women’s

basketball, field hockey, men’s gymnastics, men’s soccer, women’s soccer, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, women’s indoor and outdoor track and field and women’s volleyball. The Lions have won 30 Big Ten titles over the past seven years, including a school-record six in 2005-06 and 2008-09. In October 2008, the NCAA reported that Penn State student-athletes earned a school-record 89 percent Graduation Success Rate, 11 points higher than the national Division I-A average. Twenty-two of Penn State’s 25 teams compiled a GSR at or above the national average of 78 percent or higher (track and field and cross country count as one sport). During the 2008-09 academic year, 253 Penn State student-athletes received Academic All-Big Ten honors, tied for the second-highest in program history. Over the past 15 years, Penn State leads all Big Ten institutions with 3,312 academic allconference honorees. There were a school-record 261 honorees in 2007-08. To continue to give the coaching staff and student-athletes the resources to succeed academically and athletically, Curley is guiding the most ambitious fund-raising and athletics facilities campaigns in the department’s history. More than $120 million was raised for Intercollegiate Athletics by June 2008 to surpass the Success With Honor Campaign goal of $100 million. The most recently completed capital project was a new baseball stadium — Medlar Field at Lubrano Park. The Penn State baseball team shares the state-of-the-art facility with a short-season minor league team — the State College Spikes. Curley played a significant role in developing the unique partnership for the construction of the 5,406-seat stadium. The 12,500-seat expansion and renovation of Beaver Stadium was completed in 2001, raising the capacity to 107,282. The project included private suite and club level seating previously unavailable and the construction of the magnificent Penn State All-Sports Museum to house Penn State’s impressive collection of sports memorabilia. Other facility projects completed in the past decade include the Lasch Football Building, Ashenfelter Indoor Multi-Sport Facility and Sarni Tennis Center and renovations to the White Building, East Area Locker Room, Jeffrey Field and a new field hockey facility. Curley also oversees the expansive intramural/club sport programs — which included a fourth consecutive national championship in men’s ice hockey in 2003 and women’s rugby national titles in 2004 and 2009 — on the University Park campus, as well as general recreational activities. Curley served as president of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) in 2005-06. He was the first Penn State Athletic Director to serve as president of NACDA, which is a professional and educational association for more than 6,100 athletic administrators at more than 1,600 institutions in the United States, Canada and Mexico. He was elected a NACDA officer in 2002. It is no exaggeration to say Tim Curley is someone who knows the Penn State athletic program from the ground up. A State College product, he grew up across the street from Old Beaver Field where some of his most memorable days as a youngster were spent there and in Rec Hall. Curley, 55, has been a full-time member of the athletic staff since he joined the department as a graduate assistant football coach. A product of State College Area High School where he played basketball and football for Jim Williams’ undefeated 1971 team, Curley walked on as a football player only to have his career cut short by injuries. After earning his bachelor’s degree in health and physical education in 1976, he served a year as a graduate assistant coach while pursuing his master’s degree in counselor education. Curley was named the Lions’ first full-time football recruiting coordinator in 1978 and was instrumental in identifying and recruiting a number of members of the 1982 national championship team. In 1981, he was named assistant to the athletic director where he was involved with the day-to-day operations of the department. Curley was active in the development of the Academic Support Center for Student-Athletes; the Penn State Sports Medicine Center; the Varsity “S” Club and the Football Letterman’s Club during his tenure as assistant to the athletic director. He also was instrumental in putting in place Penn State’s first NCAA compliance program and acted as the department’s compliance coordinator for five years before surrendering those responsibilities when he was named Associate Athletic Director in 1992. He is married to the former Melinda Harr of Washington, Pa., who earned degrees from Penn State in 1977 and 1986. The Curleys have two children — a daughter, Devon, and a son, Tanner. Curley was born on April 28, 1954.
