As South Dakota State University baseball coach Dave Schrage enters his fifth season leading the Jackrabbits, the 2016 campaign figures to be a good measuring stick for how far his program has come. “We’ve put together a real consistent program the last three years in finishing at or near the top of The Summit League,” Schrage said. “I’m proud of the work ethic and the depth we’ve built in our program. We have a lot of talent and the guys returning have motivation after not getting to the championship last year.” SDSU tallied a 33-23 overall record during the 2015 season, finishing second in the Summit League standings with an 18-11 mark. However, the Jackrabbits were knocked out of the Summit League Baseball Championship one win away from reaching the title series for the second year in a row. Awaiting the Jackrabbits in 2016 is another challenging non-conference schedule in which SDSU will play in all four continental U.S. time zones, and what could shape up to be another closely contested Summit League race. The non-conference schedule begins with four games Feb. 19-21 in Starkville, Mississippi — two each against perennial Southeastern Conference contender Mississippi State and Florida Atlantic. The following weekend, the Jackrabbits will be in Wilmington, North Carolina, for four games in the Hughes Brothers Challenge. SDSU will face returning NCAA Tournament qualifiers UNC-Wilmington and Virginia Commonwealth in one game each, while meeting Eastern Kentucky twice. The remainder of the pre-conference slate will consist of a western swing in early March that includes four games at Sacramento State (Calif.), single games at UC Davis and Pacific (Calif.) and a three-game series at Northern Colorado. The series at Sacramento State will pit the Jackrabbits against former head coach Reggie Christiansen, who led SDSU through its transition to Division I status from 2005-08. “This year will be our biggest challenge and will be a great way to evaluate where we are in our program,” Schrage said of the non-conference schedule. “It will make us better in the long run, but my concern is that some of our young guys may lose confidence.” Several newcomers will be counted to contribute right away as the Jackrabbits seek to replace their top two pitchers and several of their top position players from a season ago.
On the pitching front, a group of newcomers figure to play key roles while replacing eightgame winners Adam Bray and Chris Anderson, along with a number of other key contributors on the mound. Junior Landon Busch, who sat out last season after transferring from Kansas State, is expected to give the Jackrabbits a left-handed presence in the starting rotation. A Brookings native, Busch made 31 appearances over two seasons with the Wildcats. Two pitchers from the Pacific Northwest, junior college transfer Greg Casper and freshman Will McAffer, will be counted on to log quality innings in setup roles out of the bullpen. Casper pitched at Tacoma Community College in Washington for one season, while McAffer earned a spot on the Canadian Junior National Team and was later drafted in the 32nd round of the 2015 Major League Baseball Draft by the Cincinnati Reds. A second junior college transfer, Chris Halbur, is another candidate to contribute out of the bullpen. Halbur pitched on a national championship team at Iowa Western Community College in 2014 and averaged better than a strikeout per inning pitched in each of his two seasons. Junior Ethan Kenkel, who served as a midweek starter down the stretch in 2015, will transition into the closer’s role, replacing SDSU and Summit League career saves record holder J.D. Moore. Seniors Derringer Huff and Joe Erickson, along with sophomore Derek Feige, will provide additional leadership and experience to the staff. “I really think we have a lot of depth in our bullpen,” Schrage said. “We’ve got enough depth throughout our pitching staff to compete.” Ryan Froom, who filled the role of No. 3 starter for much of last season, is expected to ascend into the top spot in the rotation in 2016. A junior from Crystal, Minnesota, Froom compiled a 5-3 record with a 3.22 earned run average in 13 games, including 11 starts. Senior Andrew Clemen, who pitched in 50 games out of the bullpen his first three seasons, is being groomed for the No. 3 starting role in 2016. The Des Moines, Iowa, native, does have one collegiate start to his credit and consistently pitched multiple innings in his relief appearances. Clemen has averaged more than a strikeout per inning pitched during his Jackrabbit career, including 47 punchouts in 39 1/3 innings last season.
2016 JACKRABBIT BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE
SEASON PREVIEW Schrage said the battle for determining the mid-week starting pitchers will be competitive, as well. Senior Eldon Evans, junior Austin Kost and freshman left-hander Henry DeCaster are among the early candidates to fill in as spot starters. Offensively, Schrage said the 2016 edition of the Jackrabbits will feature perhaps the most talented lineup top to bottom in his tenure. However, one area of concern to Schrage is having to replace the bulk of the defense up the middle. The Jackrabbits have consistently ranked at or near the top of The Summit League in fielding during Schrage’s tenure, but will have to find full-time replacements at catcher, second base and center field. After seeing the bulk of his time during his freshman season at designated hitter, Luke Ringhofer is expected to handle the bulk of the catching duties in 2016. A Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American in 2015, Ringhofer led the team with 41 runs batted in last season, while batting .321 with three home runs. The Cottage Grove, Minnesota, native also recorded a .441 on-base percentage, drawing 34 walks against only 12 strikeouts. Ringhofer will be backed up by Kolton Michalski, who redshirted last season, and incoming freshman Ian Cote. At second base, sophomore Anthony Schneider is the preseason favorite to take over for the graduated Al Robbins. Schneider played in a utility role during his freshman season in 2015 and was one of the team’s top pinch-
hitters, finishing the year with a .292 average, five RBI and a pair of stolen bases. The remainder of the regular starting infield returns with senior Cody Sharrow at shortstop and the Johnsons — Matt and Newt — at the corners. Sharrow provided the Jackrabbits with solid defense and added two home runs and 21 runs batted in during the 2015 campaign. Transfer Skyler Wenninger, who played one season at Minnesota-Duluth, and freshman Nick Smith could also see action at the middle infield spots. In his first season as the Jackrabbits’ starting first baseman, Matt Johnson led the 2015 squad with five home runs, while sharing the team lead with 13 doubles and contributing 35 RBI. The left-handed hitting Johnson will be backed up by junior Patrick Korman and sophmore Thomas McMacken. Newt Johnson shared third base duties with Tony Kjolsing for much of the 2015 season before securing the starting spot down the stretch. Newt Johnson batted .246 with a pair of home runs and 15 RBI in 33 starts. Kjolsing, also a sophomore, is the leading candidate to replace all-Summit League center fielder Zach Coppola, who decided to forego his senior season after being selected in the 13th round of the Major League Baseball Draft by Philadelphia. Kjolsing got off to a hot start to his freshman season, ending the year with two home runs, 25 runs batted in and eight stolen bases.

SEASON PREVIEW The corner outfield positions are expected be patrolled by seniors Paul Jacobson and Zach Holt. Jacobson, who is moving from left field to right field, batted leadoff for the Jackrabbits last season, posting a .267 batting average with 29 runs batted in and 10 steals. Holt has filled primarily a utility role during his career with the Jackrabbits. He was limited by injuries to 24 games last season, but batted .264 as a sophomore. Newcomers Josh Kunzmann, Marcus Hahn and Phil Velez also provide quality depth in the outfield along with sophomore Philip Jacobson
and junior Jared Shatto. Kunzmann and Velez each played in the junior college ranks last season, while Hahn was a three-sport standout at Hutchinson High School in Minnesota. Senior Jesse Munsterman is penciled in as the Opening Day designated hitter and cleanup hitter. Munsterman finished the 2015 season with a .333 batting average and drove in 14 runs on only 17 hits as he saw his playing time increase late in the year. Fellow Sam Krick could see at-bats from the left side either in the designated hitter role or off the bench.
Summit League play begins with a threegame series March 18-20 at defending Summit League regular season and tournament champion Oral Roberts. The Jackrabbits will attempt to repeat the success they had against the Golden Eagles last season, splitting the regular season series, 3-3, which included becoming the first team to win a Summit League series on the Golden Eagles’ home field. For the second year in a row, the Summit League schedule will consist of two home-andhome, three-game series, making for a 30game conference slate.

2016 JACKRABBIT BASEBALL
Baseball returned to the South Dakota State University campus in the spring of 2008 with the opening of the new Erv Huether Field.
ERV HUETHER FIELD
Located in the northeast corner of the South Dakota State University athletic complex, Erv Huether Field opened on April 21, 2008, when the Jackrabbits defeated Presentation (S.D.), 22-3. In seven seasons at Erv Huether Field, SDSU has recorded an 83-38 overall record, including a 56-35 mark in Summit League play. Sitework began on the new field in the spring of 2006. Walls were completed in the fall of 2007, with batting cages installed and dugouts constructed in spring 2008. While the field itself has been completed, the amenities remain a work in progress. Construction of permanent seating to accommodate nearly 600 fans and a new press box were completed prior to the 2012 home opener. The project was made possible through a gift from former Jackrabbit baseball player Dave Lane, with additional support from other baseball alumni and friends of the program. More improvements have been completed in the past year with the addition of the Abdnor Archway as the field’s main entrance (pictured lower right), as well as the installation of a new outfield fence and revamped batter’s eye in center field. Installation of the new fence has resulted in dimensions being reduced to 330 feet down the left field line, 325 feet to the right field foul pole, 370 feet to the power alleys and 395 to straightaway center field. SDSU’s previous on-campus facility, which also bore the name of Erv Huether Field starting in 1974, was the home of Jackrabbit baseball from 1958 through 2001. As part of the campus master plan, the original Erv Huether Field was razed following the 2001 season. Home games were played from 2002-07 at the municipally run Bob Shelden Field, which also hosts Brookings High School and American Legion games. Erv Huether served as head coach of the Jackrabbit baseball program from 195083. In 34 seasons, he amassed an overall record of 352-376-2 and led SDSU to six North Central Conference titles and a berth in the 1973 NCAA Division II postseason. Huether, who passed away on Feb. 1, 2012, at the age of 93, was inducted into the American Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame in Louisville, Kentucky, in 1984.
Huether also served as an assistant football coach at SDSU for 22 years. Twice Huether was named district coach of the year, in 1966 and 1969, and in 1975 he earned South Dakota College Coach of the Year honors. He coached four AllAmericans and three other players who were drafted.

SANFORD-JACKRABBIT ATHLETIC COMPLEX The South Dakota State University baseball team has received a further boost in its facilities with the recent completion of the Sanford-Jackrabbit Athletic Complex. “It will be exciting to see what a difference the indoor facility will make for us,” said Jackrabbit baseball coach Dave Schrage. “We are definitely going to be more well-prepared.” The multi-purpose facility allows infielders to take ground balls on a state-of-the art FieldTurf infield and feature enough space for outfielders to conduct longthrowing drills, with multiple teams practicing at the same time. Located across the street to the west of Erv Huether Field, the facility is designed to serve all varsity sports, but in particular the outdoor-based sports. Other key components of the facility include a 300-meter track with a 100-meter straightaway, an observation area to accommodate spectators and a state-of-the-art human performance space to include sports medicine, athletic training, physical therapy and strength and conditioning programs to meet the needs of nearly 500 student-athletes. The project cost about $32 million, with SDSU receiving $18 million in leadership investments in August 2012 — $10 million from Sanford Health and $8 million from anonymous donors. Further fundraising efforts were enhanced by a $5 million challenge match from another anonymous donor. The Sanford-Jackrabbit Athletic Complex is one of many projects to come to fruition out of It Starts with STATE: A Campaign for South Dakota State University. The SDSU Foundation led the six-year campaign, which raised more than $255 million, far exceeding its $200 million goal. Construction on the Sanford-Jackrabbit Athletic Complex began in the fall of 2013 and was dedicated on Oct. 11, 2014.

OTHER FACILITIES
Within the past decade, several Jackrabbit athletic facilities have been added or enhanced, including: • Building of new on-campus baseball and softball competition fields; • Construction of a new equestrian center; • Completion of a practice soccer field; • Construction of the Sanford-Jackrabbit Athletic Complex; • Completion of the first phase of the new Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium. Student-athlete facilities were further enhanced in the in the spring of 2010 with the completion of the Dykhouse Student-Athlete Center. Located in the north end zone of Coughlin-Alumni Stadium, the Dykhouse Student-Athlete Center houses an academic center for use by all Jackrabbit student-athletes, as well as new locker room and training facilities for the SDSU football team. Expansion of the academic center is nearing completion. Construction on the Dykhouse Student-Athlete Center marked the first stage of a master plan to dramatically modernize athletic facilities at SDSU. The $6 million donated by Sioux Falls bankers Dana Dykhouse and T. Denny Sanford in the fall of 2007 set in motion the construction of the first major athletic building on campus since Frost Arena in 1973. Other key parts of a comprehensive athletic facilities master plan, include the recently completed Sanford-Jackrabbit Athletic Complex and Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium. The second and final phase of the Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium project is scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2016, with the Jackrabbit football team slated to play its home opener in the new stadium on Sept. 10. Additional projects outlined in the athletics facilities master plan include upgrades to Frost Arena and continued enhancements to Erv Huether Field.

JACKRABBITS
EVOLUTION OF A NICKNAME
There are two theories as to how and why the Jackrabbit nickname evolved. The most common belief is that the name “Jackrabbits” came from a story and cartoon sketch that appeared in a Minneapolis newspaper following a 1905 football game between the University of Minnesota and South Dakota State College, as the university was then known. A reporter for the newspaper, knowing of the preponderance of jackrabbits in the Brookings area, was believed to have written that the SDSC team was as quick as jackrabbits. Many people believe that the school adopted the Jackrabbits as its official nickname from that beginning. The other theory about the origin of the nickname is given in The Jackrabbit, SDSU’s yearbook. There is a poem in the 1907 yearbook that puts forth the idea that the yearbook is called The Jackrabbit because a group of juniors wished to immortalize themselves by changing the name of the yearbook. Athletic teams followed suit, adopting the nickname. Prior to the adoption of the Jackrabbit nickname, school athletic teams were known as the Barn Yard Cadets as SDSU was known as South Dakota State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts in 1907. 2016 JACKRABBIT BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE

Veteran baseball coach Dave Schrage (pronounced Schrag) enters his 28th season as a collegiate head coach — and fifth at South Dakota State University — during the 2016 season. Schrage was hired to take over the reins of the Jackrabbit baseball program on Aug. 8, 2011. After posting an 18-33-1 record in his first season at South Dakota State, including a 7-14 mark in The Summit League, Schrage directed a big turnaround in 2013, leading SDSU its first-ever appearance in the NCAA Tournament at the Division I level. The Jackrabbits, who ended the season with a 35-24 overall record, won four consecutive games to claim their inaugural Summit League postseason tournament title and advance to the Eugene Regional of the NCAA Tournament, where they were edged in a pair of one-run games. SDSU again earned the top seed for the Summit League Baseball Championship during the 2014 season, finishing with an 11-11 mark in a tightly contested league race. Overall, the Jackrabbits finished with a 28-29 overall record. Six Jackrabbit players earned all-Summit League accolades. The Jackrabbits again contended for a Summit League title during the 2015 season, posting an overall record of 33-23 and a second-place mark of 18-11 in league play. SDSU put together win streaks of six and eight games midway through the season to move into the upper division of The Summit League. Under Schrage’s leadership, the Jackrabbits have compiled a 114-109-1 record and qualified for the Summit League postseason tournament each of the last three seasons. Schrage enters the 2016 campaign with a 710-771-2 career mark. He recorded his 600th career victory in his first season at SDSU, and tallied career win No. 700, when the Jackrabbits defeated Omaha, 5-1, on April 17, 2015, at Erv Huether Field. Schrage’s 100th win at the helm of the SDSU program came on April 11, 2015, in a 5-4 home win over North Dakota State. In 27 seasons as a collegiate head coach, he has averaged more than 25 victories per season, including seven campaigns with 32 or more wins. He has coached players who have earned all-conference honors 75 times and 42 of his former student-athletes have gone on to play professionally, including 2015 draft picks Zach Coppola (Philadelphia Phllies) and Adam Bray (Los Angeles Dodgers). Prior to South Dakota State, Schrage was head coach at Notre Dame for four seasons, leading the Fighting Irish to a 119-104-1 record from 2007-10. After posting a .500 record (28-28) his first season in South Bend, Schrage put Notre Dame back in contention for postseason play with a 33-21-1 record in 2008 and a 36-23 mark in 2009. The Fighting Irish led the BIG EAST Conference in fielding in both 2008 and 2009, while consistently ranking at or near the top in batting, on-base percentage and earned run average. Schrage has previously found success in building programs at the mid-major level, including a four-year stint at Evansville (Ind.) from 2003-06, during which he guided the Purple Aces to a 130-108 record. Evansville improved its win total each of his four seasons, from 24 in 2003 to 43 in 2006. Schrage earned Missouri Valley Conference Coach of the Year honors for the third time in 2006 as Evansville won both the regular season and tournament conference titles, earning a berth in the NCAA Tournament. The Purple Aces advanced all the way to the finals of the Charlottesville Regional, knocking off host Virginia before falling to South Carolina in the championship. A Chicago native, Schrage directed a dramatic turnaround in his home state during a three-year run at Northern Illinois from 2000-02. After inheriting a team that was 4-51 the year before he arrived, Schrage’s squad turned in a 20game improvement with a 24-33 record in his first season and then led the Huskies to a winning season in 2001 with a 28-27 overall mark. He was named runner-up for National Coach of the Year by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper in 2000. Schrage began his collegiate coaching career as a graduate assistant under his predecessor at Notre Dame, Paul Mainieri, at St. Thomas University (Fla.) in 1984. He later returned to his alma mater, Creighton University (Neb.), as an assistant coach for two seasons. From 1986-87, Schrage coached the Queensland Rams club team in Brisbane, Australia, before returning stateside as he gained his first head coaching job at Waldorf College in Forest City, Iowa. From 1988-90 he led the junior college program to a 61-66 mark. Schrage then spent nine seasons as head coach at the University of Northern Iowa, where he was named Missouri Valley Conference Coach of the Year in 1995 and 1997. His teams improved from two league victories in UNI’s first season in the MVC in 1992 to 18 during the 1997 campaign. As a collegiate player, Schrage was an all-conference outfielder at Creighton, batting .400 as a junior and .433 his senior season. He also was an Academic All-America honoree during his senior campaign in 1983, and graduated that spring with a bachelor of science degree in finance. Schrage was honored on the MVC’s Centennial Celebration baseball team and is the only person in league history to earn all-conference honors and be named MVC Coach of the Year in baseball. 2016 JACKRABBIT BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE

He is one of the finest recruiters in the Midwest and a great teacher of the game.” During Grunzke’s time at SDSU, the Jackrabbits have won at least 28 games each of the past three seasons, including a 35-win campaign in 2013, during which SDSU won the Summit League Baseball Championship for the first time in program history and advanced to the NCAA Touranment for the first time at the Division I level. The Jackrabbits were the top seed for the Summit League postseason tournament in both 2013 and 2014.

In 1990, Grunzke succeeded Schrage as head coach at Waldorf College in Forest City, Iowa. Over 16 seasons, Grunzke compiled a 388-344-1 record in leading the Warriors to eight appearances in the NJCAA Region 11 finals. His 1994 squad posted 23 consecutive victories en route to a 40-win season and a berth in the regional championship. Late in his tenure he guided the program from junior college status to a four-year institution. He was inducted into the Waldorf Athletics Hall of Fame in the fall of 2015. Overall, Grunzke has coached nine All-Americans, 24 all-region selections and 11 players who have pursued professional playing careers. Following the 2006 campaign, Grunzke moved to the NCAA Division I level for the first time, serving as an assistant coach at the University of Arkansas-Little Rock for two seasons. He moved on to the University of Northern Iowa as assistant coach for the 2009 season, after which the Panther program was discontinued. A native of Minnesota Lake, Minnesota, Grunzke earned an associate of arts degree from Waldorf and later completed his bachelor’s degree at UALR.

DR. DAVID L. CHICOINE • President avid L. Chicoine, Ph.D., has served as the 19th president of South Dakota State University since Jan. 1, 2007, when he became the third alumnus to lead the state’s largest institution of higher education. President Chicoine, who graduated in 1969 with a bachelor of science degree in agribusiness, plans to return to his post as professor in the Department of Economics after announcing his intention to step down from the presidency at the conclusion of the 2015-16 academic year.
D
Alma Mater: • South Dakota State, 1969
President Chicoine has had a long association with intercollegiate athletics, including serving on the NCAA Presidential Advisory Group. Chicoine also chaired the President’s Council for The Summit League — SDSU’s conference home for 18 of its 21 varsity sports — during the 2011-12 academic year. Previously, he served as the faculty representative to the Big Ten Conference and the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) for the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He served as chair of the Budget and Finance Committee for the Big Ten Conference for nine years of his 11-year term. In the spring of 2013, Chicoine and his executive team rolled out IMPACT 2018: A Strategic Vision for South Dakota State University. The five-year plan features four main goals: academic excellence, research and innovation, outreach and becoming a high-performing University. During his tenure, enrollment has reached record levels of undergraduate students and Ph.D. candidates. Correspondingly, the amount of research grants and contract awards has jumped nearly 90 percent during that time. To support the strategic plan, the SDSU Foundation in 2008 launched an aggressive comprehensive fund-raising effort — “It Starts with State: A Campaign for South Dakota State University.” The capital campaign began with a goal of $200 million, but far exceeded that to a total of more than $255 million with contributions from more than 23,000 donors. The most visible support for the campaign can be seen in several construction and renovation projects funded primarily by generous donors, all part of the largest campus building boom since the 1960s. The majority of the facilities enhance the university’s research capabilities and allow for new discoveries that drive technology-based economic development in South Dakota. In January 2014, Chicoine was presented with the 2013-14 Chief Executive Leadership Award by the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) District VI. The award recognizes the leadership of a higher education chief executive officer who demonstrates the ability to create a vision and inspire others. Building a better academic model has also been part of President Chicoine’s agenda. In the fall of 2010, SDSU launched the state’s first architecture program through its College of Arts and Sciences. The Chicoine administration also developed the new College of Education and Human Sciences in 2009, a merger of the former College of Education and Counseling, College of Family and Consumer Sciences and the Department of Health and Physical Education. It represented the first significant academic restructuring in more than 40 years. Dr. Chicoine brought more than 30 years of experience in higher education with the University of Illinois to his role as president of SDSU. A nationally recognized economist, specializing in public finance, taxation, and rural economics, Chicoine served as an advisor to the Illinois General Assembly. His higher education administrative experience includes service as Head of the Department of Agricultural Economics and Dean of the College of Agriculture, Consumer and Environmental Sciences, at the University of Illinois. The co-author of four books and author of more than 100 invited and/or peer reviewed academic journal articles, Chicoine also served as a member of the Illinois Governor’s Council of Economic Advisors, and was a member of the board of the Illinois State Treasurer’s Technology Development Fund. Chicoine received an M.S. in agricultural econcomics from the University of Delaware in 1971, and completed an M.A. in economics at Western Illinois University. In 1979, he completed his Ph.D. in agricultural economics at Illinois. The president and his wife, Marcia, live in Woodbine Cottage on the SDSU campus. Their family includes son, Joshua, a Chicago-based musician; daughter-in-law Laura Ellsworth; granddaughter Sylvie; grandson Watson, and their late son, Jason. 2016 JACKRABBIT BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE

JUSTIN SELL • Athletics Director ustin Sell, who was honored as a recipient of the 2014-15 Under Armour Athletics Director of the Year Award, has moved Jackrabbit Athletics forward in a number of areas of its Division I pursuits since being introduced as the 12th director of athletics at South Dakota State University on May 7, 2009. At South Dakota State, Sell oversees the Jackrabbits’ 21-sport Division I varsity athletics program. Under his leadership, Jackrabbit Athletics has continually made strides in athletic competition, in the classroom, in fundraising and in reconnecting with alumni. Athletically, the Jackrabbits have claimed 23 regular and postseason league championships in six different sports since 2009-10. That broad-based success has led SDSU to claim The Summit League Commissioner’s Cup all-sports trophy four times (2010-11, 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15), along with winning both the Summit League’s Dr. William Steinbrecher Men’s All-Sports Award and Dr. Helen Smiley Women’s All-Sports Award during both the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons. SDSU also claimed the Steinbrecher award during the 2012-13 season and was the recipient of the league’s Sportsmanship Award, an award voted upon by its peers, during the 2010-11 season. In the classroom, SDSU student-athletes continually post a grade-point average of 3.2 or higher in more than 70 different majors, which led SDSU to winning The Summit League’s Institutional Academic Achievement Award for the 2009-10 and 2012-13 academic years, and the Missouri Valley Football Conference Academic Award in all six years in the league (2008-13). In January of 2011, Sell announced a partnership with Learfield Sports, signing a 10-year deal worth $13 million for SDSU Athletics. Learfield Sports directs all aspects of the partnership, including managing and selling multimedia and sponsorship rights. Additionally, Sell directed the implementation of the Letterwinners Club, which provides opportunities for Jackrabbit Athletics to reconnect and stay connected with former student-athletes, while supporting current student-athletes at SDSU. Sell also has implemented other aggressive marketing and fundraising initiatives which have resulted in record average attendance for football during the 2009 season, as well as the highest number of donors and dollars donated to the Jackrabbit Club. Ticket sales totaled more than $1 million for the first time during the 2011-12 academic year, and was surpassed again during the 2012-13 and 2013-14 seasons. In addition, the Jackrabbit Athletic Scholarship Auction raised a record $510,000 in April 2014. On the facilities front, Sell has overseen dramatic upgrades and expansion of competition and practice venues through development and implementation of the 2025 SDSU Athletic Facilities Master Plan. The Dykhouse Student-Athlete Center was completed in 2010, and Sell spearheaded efforts to add permanent seating and a press box at Erv Huether Field, as well as other recent improvements to the home of Jackrabbit baseball. More recently, construction of the $32 million Sanford-Jackrabbit Athletic Complex was completed in the fall of 2014. The facility, which serves as a competition venue for indoor track and field and as a practice facility for football and a number of other outdoor sports, contains one of only a handful of 300-meter indoor tracks in the country, as well as expanded facilities for sports medicine and strength and conditioning. In addition, work is under way for the construction of the $65 million Dana J. Dykhouse Stadium, which will serve as the new home of Jackrabbit football. The 19,000-seat stadium is scheduled to open in the fall of 2016. In the fall of 2014, Sell was appointed by the NCAA Board of Directors to represent The Summit League and Missouri Valley Football Conference on the newly formed Division I Council. Born in Salem, Oregon, and raised in Columbus, Ohio, Sell came to South Dakota State from the University of Northern Iowa, where he worked in various roles, both at the university and in the community for 10 years. He also worked at Villanova University, Syracuse University, Ohio State University and Bowling Green State University. Sell gained further experience working in the private sector for various sports teams and events. In the Brookings community, where Sell lives with his wife, Jennie, and their four children: Abbie, Zach, Josh and Eric, he serves as vice president of the Brookings Chamber of Commerce, vice president for the Brookings Friends of Baseball and is a member of the Brookings Health System Board of Trustees. Sell earned his bachelor’s degree in sport management from Bowling Green State University (Ohio) in 1991 and completed a master’s degree in physical education/sport administration at The Ohio State University in 1992.

2015 IN REVIEW
2015 SEASON REVIEW The South Dakota State University baseball team returned to its winning ways during the 2015 season, finishing the year 10 games above the .500 mark. Despite scheduling games over the first few weekends in the South, the Jackrabbits couldn’t escape wintry weather as they opened the season with three games in frigid conditions in Tennessee, losing all three. The next weekend, the Jackrabbits were slated to play four games in a tournament in North Carolina, only to have unseasonable snow force cancellation. The Jackrabits gained a bit of momentum during their Spring Break trip through Louisiana and Mississippi in early March, winning five of six games. SDSU won the first three games of a fourgame series at Southern (La.) and added wins over Tougaloo (Miss.) and Mississippi Valley State. Summit League play opened on the back end of the Spring Break trip, but the Jackrabbits found themselves in an early hole in the league standings after being swept in a three-game series at Omaha. Things turned around quickly, however, over the last two weekends in March as the Jackrabbits recorded five wins in their next six league games. SDSU won two of three games at Western Illinois, followed by a three-game road sweep over Fort Wayne. The lone loss in that span was a 2-1, 14inning game at Western Illinois. The Jackrabbit momentum continued with a strong start to the home season to coincide with the beginning of April. SDSU played 15 straight home games and compiled a 12-3 record on the homestand, which included a three-game sweep of Summit League rival North Dakota State. Buoyed by the sweep of the Bison, which included Dave Schrage’s 100th win at the helm of the SDSU program, the Jackrabbit winning streak eventually reached eight before an April 18 loss to Omaha. SDSU’s final league series of the month, April 24-26, was a historical one as the Jackrabbits became the first Summit League team to win a road series on perennial conference champion Oral Roberts’ home field. Behind seven strong innings from Adam Bray and four runs batted in, including a three-run home run in the second inning by shortstop Cody Sharrow, the Jackrabbits won the opener, 7-2. The following day, on April 25, senior left-hander Chris Anderson held the Golden Eagles in check over six-plus innings and J.D. Moore tied the Summit League career saves record as the Jackrabbits secured the series win with a 2-1 win. Bray led a senior-laden pitching staff, setting SDSU career records for strikeouts (264), innings pitched (326.2) and games started (51). Bray and Anderson each posted eight wins in earning allSummit League recognition.

Moore would go on to take over sole possession of the Summit League career saves mark with 32 as he finished his senior season with a team-high six saves. As a team, the Jackrabbit pitching staff led The Summit League with 430 strikeouts, led by Bray’s 80. SDSU also issued the second fewest walks and ranked second behind Oral Roberts in earned run average (3.95) and opponent batting average (.274). The Jackrabbit offense was prolific at times, as well, as SDSU scored double figures in runs 14 times, including a season-high 21 in an April 14 home win over North Dakota. The Jackrabbits ended four Summit League games early via the 10-run rule, highlighted by back-to-back wins of 19-9 and 12-2 over Western Illinois on May 2-3. SDSU’s final offensive onslaught came in a 15-0 drubbing of Fort Wayne on May 15 in what would be the teams’ last regular season game. Junior center fielder Zach Coppola served as the top table-setter for the Jackrabbit offense. The speedy Coppola led the team with a .373 batting average, 78 hits, 53 runs scored and a schoolrecord 39 stolen bases — in as many attempts — to rank in a tie for third among Division I players for steals. Coppola also provided a number of highlight-reel defensive plays as he recorded 127 putouts and ranked among the national leaders with 11 outfield assists. Freshman All-American Luke Ringhofer added a potent bat in the middle of the Jackrabbit lineup as he tallied a team-high 41 runs batted in and strung together the program’s second-longest hitting streak in the Division I era at 17 games while sharing duties at designated hitter and catcher. For the second year in a row and third time in five seasons, the Jackrabbits hosted the Summit League Baseball Championship in Sioux Falls. SDSU entered the four-team, double-elimination tournament as the No. 2 seed after compiling an 18-11 record in league play. After struggling in a home loss to Fort Wayne in his final start of the regular season, Bray returned to form in the Jackrabbits’ opening game of the Summit League Baseball Championship on May 20 as struck out seven over 7 1/3 innings as SDSU prevailed, 7-3. The Jackrabbits scored in each of the first four innings to build a 7-0 lead. The next night, SDSU was poised to advance to the championship series as it took an early lead over top-seeded Oral Roberts on a two-run home run by Reid Clary and maintained a 3-2 lead head-
ERIC DANFORTH ranked second on the team with a .360 batting average during his senior season in 2015. The Watertown native put together a streak of 36 games in which he reached base safely.

ing into the late innings. However, the Golden Eagles were the ones to advance to the title tilt, breaking the game open with a six-run home half of the seventh. SDSU’s season would come to an end in an elimination game against Fort Wayne on May 22. Once again, one big inning proved to be the difference as Fort Wayne scored four times in the fifth inning held off a late Jackrabbit rally for a 6-5 win. After the season, both Bray and Coppola were selected in the Major League Baseball Draft, marking the first time since 1985 that two Jackrabbit players were taken in the same draft. Coppola opted to forego his final season of eligibily to sign with the Philadelphia Philles after being selected in the 13th round. Bray was taken by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 33rd round.

South Dakota State scored in each of the first four innings and starting pitcher Adam Bray worked into the eighth inning as the Jackrabbits opened the Summit League Baseball Championship with a 7-3 victory over Fort Wayne on May 20 at Sioux Falls Stadium. The second-seeded Jackrabbits improved to 33-21 overall and moved on to face top-seeded Oral Roberts. Fort Wayne dropped to 26-25 overall and faced North Dakota State in an elimination game. SDSU wasted little time to break into the scoring column. Paul Jacobson led off with a single and scored on Reid Clary’s two-out single to left field. The Jackrabbits added a run in the second inning when Al Robbins scored on a wild pitch, then tacked on two more runs in the third on a Robbins double down the left-field line to score both Clary and Luke Ringhofer. SDSU pushed the lead to 7-0 with a three-run fourth inning. Jacobson 62

plated the first run of the frame with a base hit and Ringhofer delivered a sacrifice fly before the Jackrabbits executed a double steal with Zach Coppola scoring on the play. Fort Wayne, which left the bases loaded in the third inning, broke through against Bray in the sixth inning. Brandon Soat led off with a double and later scored on a groundout. Soat and the Mastodons further cut into the deficit in the eighth as Soat hit an opposite-field two-run homer to left field on what would be Bray’s final pitch of the night. Fort Wayne put two more runners on base later in the inning, but reliever Marcus Heemstra prevented further damage. Bray struck out seven, walked two and gave up four hits in 7 1/3 innings. Andrew Clemen worked a scoreless ninth inning. Eric Danforth led the Jackrabbits’ 10-hit attack with three hits. Jacobson and Clary each tallied two hits. Fort Wayne starter Evan Miller struck out five, walked four and allowed seven runs on eight hits in four innings. Left-handed reliever Brandon Pease struck out two in four scoreless innings.

2015 LINESCORES the wall in left field off Summit League Pitcher of the Year Xavier Altamirano. SDSU starter Chris Anderson faced the minimum through the first three innings before running into trouble in the fourth. Anthony Sequeira knotted the game at 2-all with a two-run double down the third-base line that scored Matt Whatley and Derrian James. The Jackrabbits turned the second of three double plays on the evening to prevent further damage. ORU gained the lead with an unearned run in the fifth. Chase Stafford plated the go-ahead run with a single that scored Logan Domenico, who led off the frame with an infield single. Once again, the Jackrabbits prevented a run with an inning-ending double play as center fielder Zach Coppola caught a fly ball and threw home to cut down an ORU runner at the plate. After Altamirano left the game with an apparent injury with two outs in the third, reliever Sean Leary kept the Jackrabbits in check until the seventh. Clary led off with a triple past the diving center fielder and scored the tying run on Matt Johnson’s single. SDSU appeared on the verge of regaining the lead, but the Golden Eagles returned the favor defensively as James caught Cody Sharrow’s fly ball and threw Johnson out at home trying to score on the play. The Golden Eagles sent 11 men to the plate against three different Jackrabbit pitchers in the fateful seventh inning. Dean Wilson dumped a double down the right-field line to drive in the go-ahead run off Anderson, and Matt Brandy and Audie Afenir each added two-run hits off SDSU reliever Andrew Clemen. Noah Cummings capped the scoring with an RBI double. Hayden Holley pitched three scoreless innings to earn the victory in relief. Anderson took the loss, allowing seven runs on 10 hits with four strikeouts and two walks in 6 1/3 innings. Clary tallied two of SDSU’s five hits, while Oral Roberts recorded 13 hits.

South Dakota State couldn’t capitalize on numerous scoring opportunities before having its ninth-inning comeback bid come up just short to Fort Wayne in a season-ending 6-5 loss Friday at the Summit League Baseball Championship at Sioux Falls Stadium. The victorious Mastodons improved to 28-25 and advanced to the title game against top-seeded Oral Roberts. Second-seeded SDSU ended its season with a 33-23 overall record. SDSU stranded two runners four times in the first six innings, including failing to capitalize on back-to-back walks to open the fourth inning. Fort Wayne pitchers issued nine free passes in the game, but only one would eventually come around to score. The game remained scoreless until the top of the fifth, when Fort Wayne put together a four-run inning against Jackrabbit starter Ryan Froom. Greg Kaiser opened the frame with the Mastodons’ first hit of the game, a single to left field, and scored on a double to left field by Brock

Kaiser homered with one out in the sixth inning before the Jackrabbits finally cracked the scoring column in the bottom of the seventh on a single by Reid Clary that scored Paul Jacobson. Fort Wayne upped the margin back to five with a run in the top of the eighth on a run-scoring single by Baker. The Jackrabbit comeback bid gained some traction in the home half of the eighth as Anthony Schneider singled with one out, advanced to third on a double by pinch-hitter Jesse Munsterman and scored on a sacrifice fly by Jacobson. SDSU put together a furious rally in the ninth – all after the first two batters of the inning were retired on groundouts. Seniors Eric Danforth and Al Robbins each singled before Schneider was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Freshman Newt Johnson then cleared the bases with a double to right-center off Cody O’Neal to put the tying run in scoring position. Fort Wayne brought in Wednesday’s starting pitcher, Evan Miller, to pitch to Jacobson and got the strikeout to end the game. Danforth, Robbins and Zach Coppola each tallied two of the Jackrabbits’ 10 hits – seven of which came in the final three innings. Four different players notched two hits for Fort Wayne, which ended the game with nine hits. Froom surrendered five runs on five hits, striking out four and walking one in six innings. Mastodon starter Dane Davis pitched 3 1/3 innings of scoreless baseball before giving way to Jake Weber, who earned the win after pitching four solid innings of relief.

1984 JACKRABBITS: COLLEGE WORLD SERIES QUALIFIERS When Mark Ekeland became the fourth coach in SDSU baseball history, no one expected a whole lot. After all, the team was 14-16 in 1983, and hadn’t made the NCAA Tournament in seven years. That 1984 season turned into one of the most memorable in school history, as SDSU finished 27-13 and advanced to the NCAA Division II College World Series. The Jacks won the NCC Tournament, twice defeating host Minnesota State, Mankato. SDSU earned the right to host the Midwest Regional, and defeated Missouri-St. Louis in the championship, earning a trip to Riverside, Calif., and the CWS. Though the Jacks would lose both games in California, it could not diminish the accomplishments of the squad. During the season, the 1984 team accounted for 19 records. While 18 of those have since been broken, Dave Lane, as a sophomore, set a new benchmark for career stolen bases. He still holds that mark, with 76. In addition, Ekeland was named Midwest Regional Coach of the Year.

When the topic of greatest SDSU pitchers comes up, Bob Ehrke’s name is often forgotten. It shouldn’t be, as from 1952-1954, he compiled a 2.09 earned run average, striking out 130 batters in 120.2 innings. During his senior season, Ehrke set a record that’s likely to never be broken — a 0.49 ERA in 37 innings, going a perfect 5-0. 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990 1989 1988 1987 1986 1985 1984 1983 1982

ALL-AMERICANS ED MARAS
WINDOM, MINN.
1966 • COLLEGE BASEBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION • 1ST-TEAM
The 6-foot-2, 225 pound righty was described in his All-American candidacy as “strong as the proverbial bull.” The proof? Before he graduated from SDSU, the Windom, Minn., native was drafted by the NFL’s Green Bay Packers and the American League’s Baltimore Orioles Maras earned his baseball recognition with a tremendous senior season, which led to becoming the first All-America selection for the Jackrabbit baseball program. Before 1966, no SDSU pitcher had ever won more than five games. Maras topped that, going 7-2 with a 2.61 earned run average. He led the Jacks to their second straight North Central Conference title, striking out a team-best 58 batters in 69 innings of work. Of his two losses, one came at the hands of Minnesota, runners-up in the Big Ten that season, and the Gophers only managed six hits and one earned run off him. He was more than just a pitcher, however, as Maras also stood out as an all-conference first baseman that season. Maras hit .357 with 12 extra-base hits (four doubles, four triples and four home runs), ending the year with a .602 slugging percentage. The Jackrabbits, led by Maras, finished that year 15-12, but 10-2 inside the NCC. Maras was responsible for nearly half of the squad’s wins on the mound, and led the team in nearly every offensive category.
JIM LANGER
ROYALTON, MINN.
1969 • COLLEGE BASEBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION • 2ND-TEAM
Everyone recognizes Jim Langer as a Pro Football Hall of Famer and the starting center on the 1972 World Champion and undefeated Miami Dolphins. Jackrabbit historians, however, remember him just as much for his prowess on the diamond as the gridiron. Langer’s impressive junior season earned him second-team All-America honors in the college division, which would later be known as Division II. Selected as an outfielder, Langer won SDSU’s proverbial “triple crown,” as he led the Jackrabbits in hitting, pitching and fielding. Listed at 6-foot-2 and 240 pounds, Langer hit .399 while setting then-single season records with 37 hits and 25 runs batted in. He hit five doubles, two triples and three homers, slugging .505 As a starting pitcher, he compiled a 5-3 mark with a 3.19 earned run average. As you can imagine, Langer was much more power than finesse, striking out 50 batters in 53.1 innings. On top of it all, Langer did not commit an error while patrolling the outfield, leading the Jacks to a share of the North Central Conference crown — SDSU’s third in five seasons.
DEAN KROGMAN
LISMORE, MINN.
1971 • COLLEGE BASEBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION • 2ND-TEAM
The 1971 South Dakota State University baseball squad finished one game shy of a North Central Conference championship — but don’t blame Dean Krogman. All that the Minnesotan did was set a record for slugging percentage that still stands today, set four more records that have since been broken, and led the NCC in six different offensive categories. Krogman hit for the highest average, at that time, in SDSU history, ending the season with a .417 average (42-for101). He hit 10 homers, drove in 34 runs, and tallied 42 hits, all of which were also records that have since been eclipsed. The most amazing stat about Krogman’s season was his ability to hit for power. Of his 42 hits, 24 went for extra bases, leading to a school-record .881 slugging percentage. That mark still stands, more than 40 years later. He hit 11 doubles and three triples, striking out only 14 times in 30 starts. As previously mentioned, he was an even bigger factor against conference foes. He hit at a .418 clip in the NCC, tops in the conference. He also held top honors in the league for hits (28), home runs (9), total bases (66), triples (3) and runs scored (23). South Dakota State started the year with a seven-game losing streak, but with the help of Krogman the Jacks won 14 of their last 23 games, posting a 13-7 mark in the NCC.

ALL-AMERICANS DAVE MANKE
MARSHALL, MINN.
1976 • COLLEGE BASEBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION • 3RD-TEAM
When asked to describe Manke, legendary Jackrabbit baseball coach Erv Huether said “he’s one of the best I’ve ever coached.” Talk about high praise. Manke, who did just about everything during his time in blue and yellow, was a three-time all-District V selection, earning All-America status following his senior season. During his final year, Manke helped SDSU to an 18-16 mark, including a 13-7 record and a runner-up finish in the North Central Conference. Manke, a native of Marshall, Minnesota, led SDSU with a .386 batting average, scoring 27 runs while tallying seven doubles, a triple and two long balls. He drew 24 walks compared to only five strikeouts in 131 plate appearances. That’s a ratio of one strikeout every 26 times up.
BILLY MCMACKEN
BROOKINGS, S.D.
1988 • COLLEGE BASEBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION • 3RD-TEAM
The beginning of something special was McMacken’s 1988 campaign, the first of three consecuive All-America seasons for the Brookings product. The designated hitter lived up to the position’s name, hitting at a .409 clip, and set a then-school record with 35 runs batted in. When he towed the rubber, the southpaw was just as impressive. He was a perfect 5-0, and while his earned run average was above five, opponents hit only .302 against him. In addition to his pitching and DH duties, he saw plenty of action at first base, where he was perfect defensively, not making an error the entire season. McMacken’s numbers would have been even more impressive, but SDSU had to forfeit its first 10 games of the season. While all the other statistics stand from those games, McMacken’s three pitching victories do not, and therefore he’s only credited for a 5-0 season. The Jackrabbits went 27-15, winning the NCC’s Southern Division. In fact, SDSU played its way to the NCC Tournament’s title tilt, falling to host Minnesota State, Mankato. 1989 • COLLEGE BASEBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION • 3RD-TEAM
As a junior, McMacken became the first Jackrabbit to ever earn multiple All-American honors. In leading SDSU to a 30-16-1 record, McMacken topped the Jackrabbits in batting average (.416), home runs (10), runs batted in (52), total bases (109), hits (62) and runs scored (48). He also hit 13 doubles, which tied for tops on the squad. For the second consecutive season, McMacken was errorless in the field in 36 total chances. He also pitched in 11 games, going 5-6 with a 6.55 ERA. Even though McMacken still had a year to play, he’d already set the career record for runs batted in, which at that point was 142. SDSU rattled off a 30-win season in 1989, going 11-1 to win the Southern Division title. Despite hosting the NCC Tournament, SDSU was eliminated prior to the championship game. 1990 • COLLEGE BASEBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION • 3RD-TEAM
South Dakota State won its sixth consecutive NCC Southern Division crown, claimed a runner-up finish at the NCC Tournament, and earned a postseason berth to the Central Regional. The year 1990 also marked an unprecedented third-consecutive All-America season Billy McMacken. School records the lefty set during his senior season included 16 homers, 60 runs batted in and 127 total bases. The total bases mark remained a school mark until 2010, while his 60 RBIs and 16 home runs each ranked second on the list until the Division I era. He also smacked 18 doubles, which stood as a single-season record for 18 years. On the mound, he went 5-5 with a 5.12 ERA, holding opponents to a .276 batting average.

ALL-AMERICANS TREVOR SCHULTE
MONTEVIDEO, MINN.
1993 • COLLEGE BASEBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION • 1ST-TEAM
One could argue that Trevor Schulte is the greatest pitcher in Jackrabbit baseball history – and it would be hard to refute. The left-hander from Montevideo, Minnesota, got off to a rocky start as a junior, losing each of the first two games he pitched. He would not lose a game for another 14 months. Schulte started 11 more games, winning 10 of them, and finished the season with an earned run average of 2.88. He also made two appearances out of the bullpen, notching one save in his 81 innings of work. He recorded 72 strikeouts while only walking 38. In fact, he allowed just 57 hits all season for an opponents’ batting average of .197. Schulte was named Most Valuable Pitcher of both the North Central Conference and the North Central Region, setting a single-season record for wins that he would break again the next year. Following his 10-win streak to end the 1993 season, Schulte won his first 11 outings of his senior season, which tied an NCAA record that still stands today – 21 consecutive wins.
TERRY VAN ENGELENHOVEN
LUVERNE, MINN.
1993 • COLLEGE BASEBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION • 2ND-TEAM
In his first two years as a Jackrabbit, Terry Van Engelenhoven had a total of 12 at-bats. While his one hit was a home run, there was no reason to think this pitcher was going to be anything special with the bat. And then came 1993. Van Engelenhoven started 54 games as a first baseman/designated hitter and turned in single-season records with 67 hits and 17 home runs, finishing the year with a .416 batting average. He also turned in some big innings on the mound, throwing one complete game – the championship game of the NCC Tournament, as he shut down North Dakota. He went 3-4 in 63 innings of work this year. To add even more irony to it all, Van Engelenhoven wasn’t even a first-team all-North Central Conference selection. The Luverne, Minn., native was merely selected honorable mention. While Van Engelenhoven’s outing against North Dakota gave the Jacks a conference crown, it was UND who got the last laugh. SDSU won a school-record 39 games and hosted the Central Regional, where it won its first two games, but UND beat the Jacks in back-to-back games to go to the College World Series.
COLE IRISH
PLAINVIEW, MINN.
1996 • COLLEGE BASEBALL COACHES ASSOCIATION • 2ND-TEAM
The last Jackrabbit to earn All-America status at the Division II level, Irish shattered the SDSU record books in 1996, and some of those marks still stand. Irish hit at a .449 clip, 75-for-167, the highest average ever put up by a Jackrabbit with at least 100 at bats. In addition, he put up several numbers which, at the time were school records: 75 hits, 63 runs and 63 RBIs. He also added 14 doubles and three triples, earning NCC Southern Division Most Valuable Player and first-team all-NCC honors. The .449 average, 63 runs scored and 63 runs batted in remain single-season school records. His 28 runs scored and 19 walks in conference play set NCC records, both of which have since been surpassed. He hit safely in 41 of the 47 games he played, tallying 22 multiple-hit games. Irish’s numbers weren’t just against fluff competition. In the NCC Tournament, he had four hits, including a double and two home runs, against league champion Minnesota State, Mankato. The Jacks, led by Irish, finished the year at 34-13, winning their 11th NCC Southern Division crown in 12 seasons.

ALL-AMERICANS TREVER VERMEULEN
MITCHELL, S.D.
2010 • PRO-LINE ATHLETIC NCBWA • 3RD-TEAM
While the Jackrabbit offense grabbed most of the headlines during a record-breaking 2010 season, Mitchell native Trever Vermeulen made his mark on the mound in becoming the first SDSU player to earn All-America recognition at the Division I level.. A third-team selection to the All-America team selected by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association, Vermeulen posted a 9-1 record with a school-record 10 saves during the 2010 season. He led all Division I pitchers in earned run average for part of the season, finishing the campaign in fourth place with a 1.45 ERA in 35 appearances. The junior right-hander also struck out 62 batters and walked only 19 in 68.1 innings pitched. Vermeulen was the lone Summit League player honored on the All-America squad.
HALL-OF-FAMERS Two former Jackrabbit baseball standouts have joined the prestigious list of members of the Jackrabbit Sports Hall of Fame in recent years. A 2011 inductee, Dave Lane put together a record-setting career on the baseball diamond, starting all four years at shortstop for the Jackrabbits from 1983-86. Lane was named Most Valuable Player of the 1984 NCAA Midwest Regional, which SDSU won to secure its lone appearance in the NCAA Division II College World Series. A two-time allNorth Central Conference selection (1985-86), Lane was a .339 career hitter in league play and was named NCC Southern Division MVP during his senior season in 1986, when he led the league in runs scored (21) and triples (3). During his four-year career, the Shakopee, Minn., native set career records for hits (132), runs scored (135), bases on balls (123) and tied the school record with 11 triples — all of which have since been broken. His 75 career stolen bases remain a Jackrabbit standard. Lane has continued to make an impact on the Jackrabbit baseball program, donating a large gift to spearhead efforts for a stadium seating and press box construction project at Erv Huether Field that was completed in the spring of 2012.
DAVE LANE
In the fall of 2013, Tim Johnson was inducted into the Jackrabbit Sports Hall of Fame. Johnson earned all-North Central Conference honors three consecutive seasons from 1985-87. He was named NCC Southern Division Most Valuable Player and was an all-district selection in 1987 after setting a then-Jackrabbit single-season record with 13 home runs. He also led the league with five home runs in 1985 and hits in 1986 with 26 in league play. A native of Hastings, Minn., Johnson was named to the all-tournament team at the 1984 NCAA Division II Midwest Regional as the Jackrabbits advanced to the NCAA Division II World Series. By the time his collegiate career ended in 1987, he had set 12 school records, including games played (151), runs scored (137), hits (179), runs batted in (130) and home runs (31). An infielder, Johnson batted .367 for his career, including posting a .431 mark in 1986. His 31 home runs still rank seventh in school history, while his .631 career slugging percentage ranks 10th. Other former South Dakota State baseball players enshrined in the Jackrabbit Sports Hall of Fame include: Bob Ehrke, Dal Eisenbraun, Wayne Rasmussen, Doug Peterson, Ed Maras, Jim Langer, Dean Krogman, Dave Manke and Steve Brown.
