2010 VMI BASEBALL
With the opening of Gray-Minor Stadium in February 2007, VMI Baseball enjoys one of the best collegiate baseball facilities in the region. With seating for over 1,400 fans, covered batting cages, a state-ofthe-art scoreboard with video board and a first-class press box, Gray-Minor Stadium lives up to the legacies of two of the most successful VMI Baseball alums to ever wear the Red, Yellow and White. Gray-Minor Stadium, named after Senator Elmon T. Gray '46 and Gil Minor '63, became the home of the VMI Baseball program in 2007, and the Keydets did their best to celebrate the new era, going 23-7 at home with several historic wins, including a 5-2 win over #3 Virginia. In addition to features like 700 chair-back seats, rebuilt dugouts, professional scout and handicapped seating behind home plate, a concessions stand and large restrooms, Gray-Minor Stadium also gives the Keydets an opportunity to host the program’s first night games. Once again, VMI made the most of this new feature, going 7-2 in 2007 under the Lexington lights. The construction of the stadium came just five years after a complete renovation of the playing surface itself, as both the infield and outfield surfaces were revamped. Also as a part of the Gray-Minor construction, the field received yet another upgrade, as new fencing was installed, raising the fence height to 15 feet around the entire outfield. Gray-Minor Stadium completes an upgrade of the program’s facilities that began in August of 2003, when construction on Paulette Hall, formerly the Patchin Field Locker Room Complex commenced. The project entailed the expansion of the existing locker rooms along with the addition of one locker room for visiting teams and a trainers room. Along with the improvements and additional square footage, the locker rooms were fitted with audio and visual equipment. The funding for the project, estimated at $1.1 million, was donated by Bill Paulette ‘69, Minor ‘63, Senator Gray ‘46, and the Keydet Club. Paulette Hall was constructed by Paulette’s general contracting company, KBS, A trio of former VMI catchers, as Senator Elmon Gray '46 and was dedicated along with Gray(left) and Gil Minor '63 (right) pose with VMI head coach Minor Stadium on Mar. 27, 2007.

Head Coach Marlin Ikenberry
Head Coach Marlin Ikenberry VMI ‘95 Seventh Season 161-167 Career Record Winningest Coach In Program History
O
ver the past six seasons, the VMI baseball program has enjoyed unprecedented success. Winning games against top-10 teams, receiving national rankings and being regarded as one of the top programs in the state and in the region are now attributes of a program built under head coach Marlin Ikenberry. Ikenberry enters his seventh season at the helm of the program as the winningest coach in the history of VMI Baseball. In recent years, the Keydets posted three consecutive winning seasons for the first time in 52 years, defeated a ranked team for four straight years, and have had multiple players drafted in each of the past five seasons. Marlin Ikenberry was named head coach on July 22, 2003, being promoted to the top spot in the program after former head coach Tom Slater departed VMI in the summer of 2003 to accept a coaching position at the University of Florida. As Slater's top assistant and recruiting coordinator for three years, Ikenberry played a key role in the resurgence of the VMI baseball program that set a school record for victories in 2003 at 24-28.That same year, the Keydets posted a 16-14 mark in the Southern Conference, securing their first winning conference mark since 1969. Since taking over the program, Ikenberry has continued that success, breaking the school record for wins three times over the past five seasons. After winning 23 games in his first year and 27 contests in his second season, historic ground was broken in 2006, when the Keydets won 30 games for the first time in program history, while also marking the first time in 41 years that the program posted a winning record. That success continued in 2007, as Ikenberry guided his squad to a 34-21 record, knocking off a pair teams ranked in the top 10 nationally for the first time in program history. As a result,VMI Baseball earned its firstever national ranking, being tabbed 30th in the country by Collegiate Baseball in back-to-back weeks while also receiving votes in the Writers’ Poll. Hailed as one of the state's top recruiters, Ikenberry has signed several players that have enjoyed great success in Lexington. He is responsible for the signing of two Louisville Slugger Freshman All-Americans, a Southern Conference Freshman of the Year, five Big South First-Team All-Conference selections and a 2003 All-SoCon Tournament player. Ikenberry, 36, served as VMI's recruiting coordinator and pitching and catching coach in 2003 and was vital in the staff's remarkable improvement that season.Working closely with the Keydet pitchers and catchers, Ikenberry helped guide the pitching staff to an improvement of nearly two runs in team earned run average from the previous season. "We're very excited to have Marlin Ikenberry as our head baseball coach," VMI athletic director and former Keydets head baseball coach Donny White said upon Ikenberry's hiring. "He has all the ingredients to be a great head coach. His recruiting work has made a difference in the program and has certainly been instrumental to our success. He has the leadership and abilities to build on the program's recent performance and reach the goal of a conference championship." A 1995 graduate of VMI, Ikenberry played for the Keydets and was recruited by VMI Hall of Famer Chris Finwood, now head coach at Western Kentucky. Ikenberry returned to his alma mater in the summer of 2000 after spending three years at the College of William and Mary as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator.

Assistant Coaches
Assoc. Head Coach Ryan Mau Fifth Season College of Charleston ‘00
R
yan Mau begins his fifth season at VMI, having recently been elevated to the position of Associate Head Coach. During his tenure in Lexington, Mau has helped the Keydets to their first-ever national ranking, developed four pitchers that have been selected in the MLB Draft and served as recruiting coordinator for classes that have received national recognition each of the past two years. On the field, the Keydets have enjoyed great success on the mound during Mau’s tenure. The 2008 staff ranked among the top five in the nation in fewest walks allowed, while three of the past four seasons have resulted in the best ERA stats the program has posted in over 30 years. Mau has been instrumental in the success of several Keydet hurlers that have received numerous accolades. The 2007 season alone saw Trey Barham, Michael Bowman and Kevin Crum named to the Roger Clemens Award Watch List, given annually to the nation’s top pitcher, while Crum was also included on the Watch Lists for both the NCBWA Stopper of the Year Award Dick Howser Award, the first times that Keydets were named to any such lists. He has also mentored four All-Conference pitchers and a Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American. The Lake Mary, Fla. native has a proven track record of developing hurlers into pro prospects. Last season,Travis Smink became the fourth Keydet pitcher under Mau to be drafted, as he was selected in the 31st round by Houston. In 2008, a pair of Keydet pitchers were selected when Michael Bowman was taken in the ninth round by Milwaukee and Trey Barham was drafted in the 25th round by Oakland. A year previous, Corey Bachman was drafted by the Chicago Cubs. In addition, Mau had a pair of players that he coached at Charleston Southern University break into the major leagues in 2008, as R.J. Swindle and Bobby Parnell made their major league debuts for the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Mets, respectively. Before coming to the Institute, Mau spent two seasons at Marist College, helping the Red Foxes to the 2005 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Regular Season and Tournament Championships. Marist then participated in the Baton Rouge Regional, where they fell to LSU and Northwestern State, despite holding leads late in each contest. While at Marist, Mau coached both the MAAC Pitcher of the Year and Relief Pitcher of the Year. Prior to his stint in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., Mau spent one season at Big South foe Charleston Southern, where he lowered the staff ERA by two runs from the previous year and had a pitcher named Big South Player of the Year. Mau also coached the South Carolina Diamond Devils AAU team for two seasons, compiling a 34-17-2 mark and 370 strikeouts while working with 19 future collegiate pitchers, 15 of whom went on to play in Division I. A standout pitcher for the College of Charleston from 1998-2001, Mau still ranks among the Cougars’ best in career victories, games started, ERA, strikeouts and innings pitched. He also established the Cougars’ single-season mark for winning percentage (1.000) while posting a 1.79 ERA, the second-lowest single-season total in school history. Following his collegiate career, he signed as a free agent with the Florida Marlins and pitched for two seasons in the Marlins organization. He also split another season with the Kenosha Mammoths and the Southeastern Cloverleafs. Mau is a 2001 graduate of the College of Charleston with a degree in communication, as well as an alum of Lake Mary High School. He married the former Leslie Burnett in October 2003, while their daughter, Grace, was born in April 2005 and their son, Gabriel, was born in February 2009. Ikenberry on Mau- “Ryan has been with me for five years now, and he understands the expectation level of this program. He continues to do a standout job with our pitchers in developing them to not only succeed at VMI, but in also helping many of them transition to professional baseball.”

Upon his graduation, Hadra coached with VMI in 2005 before working three years at Western Kentucky under VMI graduate Chris Finwood, where he helped the Hilltoppers to a berth in the 2008 NCAA Regionals after capturing the Sun Belt Conference Tournament. Last season at Bradley, Hadra worked to bring in a freshman class of 16 that was named one of the top recruiting classes in the nation by Collegiate Baseball. Included in the haul were a pair of Junior College All-Americans, a High School All-American and three players that were drafted by MLB clubs. Under Hadra’s tutelage, Bradley center fielder Nick Mitidiero earned All-Conference accolades. Prior to his stint in Peoria, Hadra worked for three seasons at WKU. During that time, he oversaw outfield instruction, base running and bunting while coaching first base. In 2008, the Hilltoppers were picked seventh in the league’s preseason poll, yet made just the third NCAA Tournament appearance in program history after capturing the conference tournament championship. Also that season, the WKU defense ranked third in the nation with a .976 team fielding percentage. In Hadra’s second season in Bowling Green, the Hilltoppers went 15-15 in Sun Belt play, recording a conference-record 10-game improvement from their league mark in 2006. Before joining Finwood’s staff in 2005, Hadra spent one season as an assistant coach at VMI. That season, the Keydets broke the school record for wins and knocked off a ranked opponent for the second straight year (#21 Coastal Carolina, 3-2), as Hadra worked with outfielders and assisted instruction in base running, bunting and positional defense. As a cadet, Hadra was a four-year letterman who graduated with a degree in Economics and Business. Hadra served as team captain his senior year and helped the Keydets break the school record for wins during his junior season. His sophomore season, meanwhile, saw VMI finish with a 16-14 mark in the Southern Conference, breaking the program standard for most conference wins. Hadra is married to the former Allison Toth, and the couple recently had their first child, Colton, in January 2010. Ikenberry on Hadra- “I’m very excited to have the opportunity to bring Jonathan back to VMI. His passion for VMI and VMI Baseball shows up on the field daily when interacting with our players. He brings a great defensive mind to our infielders, and understands the kind of offense that we need to play to be successful.”

Diamond Club Keydet Baseball Fans: The long, hard practices of the fall and winter are finally winding down, and the beginning of the 2010 baseball season is upon us! But before we talk about the upcoming season, let's take a look at some of the recent achievements and developments for your VMI Keydet baseball team. Although injuries to the pitching staff made 2009 a tough year for wins and losses, two players were chosen in the major league draft - senior Travis Smink, who signed with the Houston Astros and had an excellent summer, and junior Tanner Biagini, who chose to return for his senior season. Adding to the excitement around Post, after three seasons with Chris Finwood '88 at Western Kentucky and one season at Bradley, Jonathan Hadra '04 has rejoined the staff as an assistant coach. Finally, this fall our very own former catcher Andy Beasley '90 was inducted into the VMI Sports Hall of Fame! There is a growing amount of excitement for this season's team, especially by having 35 home games scheduled this spring. The pitching staff is healthy and some young arms among the Rats will add depth and quality. Finally, did you know that the 2008 and 2009 recruiting classes got votes for being one of the top 40 classes in the country by Collegiate Baseball? It probably won't surprise you that a letter like this will also address finances. As you may know the VMI Keydet Club does an outstanding job of supporting VMI athletics through scholarship and operating funds. Nonetheless, as we strive to make our program one of the best in Virginia and the Big South Conference, it is critical we provide adequate, but separate funding for various projects and equipment.That is why we created the VMI Baseball Diamond Club! Last year, the inaugural year for the Diamond Club, was a resounding success with 125 charter members. Now it's time to crank up our membership drive again. This season (as we hope to do every season), we've added new ideas and want to continue putting on post-game cook-outs with the team and their families. The team cook-outs after games are a great way to gather around the team and see old faces of the baseball program. Membership in the Diamond Club this year includes pre-game and post-game notes and coach's comments, and one game ticket and free admission to one of the three games and post-game cookouts. Lastly, what better way to preserve your Keydet memories than by purchasing a game jersey from the actual uniforms worn between 1995 and 2007? Each jersey will sell for $25.00 each. Email Robert Crumpler at rcrumpler@vmiaa.org or Coach Ikenberry at ikenberrymm@vmi.edu and be sure to get your favorite number while you can! The money raised will enhance the baseball program and renovate the old "pipe shop" across from the locker room, giving your baseball program a first-class foyer honoring previous players and teams, and also allow your VMI coaches to have their offices next to the locker room and Gray-Minor Stadium! Thank you again for all of your generosity, and I hope to see you at Gray-Minor Stadium! Let's Go Keydets! Paul B. Maini '66 President

THE 2010 KEYDETS
VMI KEYDETS BASEBALL 2010 MEDIA GUIDE
Season Preview
T
he VMI baseball program approaches what figures to be an interesting campaign in 2010. With seven of their nine position starters returning from a lineup that was one of the highest-scoring in school history, the Keydets would figure to score runs with some of the top clubs in the Big South. On the mound,VMI lost three of its top pitchers from a season ago, however, return nine pitchers that gained valuable experience last season. In addition, the Keydet pitching staff also welcomes back three talented hurlers that missed ‘09 due to injury. Optimism abounds around the program that the Keydets could be set for a bounce-back season in 2010 following a disappointing 2009 campaign. "We're excited for this year to begin," says VMI head coach Marlin Ikenberry. "Last season left a bad taste in our mouths, and we're ready to get back out there and start proving where this program is headed. We return a lot of talent, and this freshman class really gives us a lot of potential all over the field. We feel like if we go out there every day and do the things that we need to do, that we should be right where we want to be at the end of the season."
Catcher The Keydets return junior Alex Haitsuka in 2010, who made 48 starts behind the dish last season. As a sophomore, Haitsuka developed into one of VMI's top power threats, ranking second on the team with a .517 slugging percentage and nine home runs. He will once again be counted on to shoulder the load behind the plate while hitting in the middle of the VMI Junior Alex Haitsuka started 48 games behind the lineup. plate and hit nine home runs last season. Junior Justin Topping has emerged from the fall season as the team’s top backup behind the plate. Topping, who has been the Keydets' primary designated hitter the past two seasons, could once again return to that role when not catching. Freshman Andrew Montague and sophomore Collin Flaherty are expected to provide depth at this key position. "We have Alex coming back after being our everyday catcher last year," said Ikenberry. "We have asked him to step up into a leadership role on this team, and he has done that for us. He's going to be pushed by Justin Topping, who has shown great improvements after being a little banged up last year. He's come in and has developed into a solid competitor for that catching job. We've also got a couple of guys in Andrew Montague and Collin Flaherty who give us a deep bench at that position."
Infield The VMI infield should once again be a strength of the team in 2010, as the team's top three returning hitters are slated to start around the diamond. Seniors Jordan Ballard and Tanner Biagini will once again anchor the corner positions and hit in the middle of the lineup, while junior Sam Roberts is expected to start at shortstop while hitting atop the order. Add in a promising freshman in Cory Spangenberg, and the Keydet infield should be one of the most potent in the Big South this season. "We feel like we're very strong all around the infield, both offensively and defensively," said Ikenberry. "It's great to have four-year guys like Jordan and Tanner giving us veteran knowledge at the corners, and Sammy is a natural baseball player who excelled last season at shortstop. Cory Spangenberg is an outstanding athlete that hits from the left-side, and I think our fans are really going to like seeing him out there. Along with those guys, we really feel good about the depth that we're developing at each of those positions as well." Ballard is coming off a standout season at first base, leading the team in several offensive categories, including batting average (.366), doubles (17), home runs (11), RBIs (48) and slugging percentage (.614), while committing just six errors in 498 total chances. The Troy,Va. native enters the year among the top 10 in VMI's

career batting average, slugging percentage and fielding percentage lists, and will be looking to put a fitting cap on his fouryear career. He is expected to be backed up by Michael Olivo, a freshman whose offensive potential could also lead to time at designated hitter this season. Spangenberg laid claim to a starting role with his fall campaign, where he showed outstanding skills both at the plate and in the field. That starting spot figures to come at second base, where the Keydets have had back-to- Senior first baseman Jordan Ballard led the team with a .366 batting average, 17 doubles, back First Team All11 home runs and 48 RBIs last season. Conference selections each of the past two seasons in Shane Geisslinger (2008) and A.J.Yoder (2009). Spangenberg will also give the Keydets another left-handed bat in the lineup, possibly in the top-half of the order. Providing a backup at second base is sophomore George Piccirilli, who has shown promise after shifting to the position over the fall. Piccirilli could also see time at designated hitter, depending on matchups. The versatile Roberts is expected to start at shortstop, that is, when he's not starting games on the mound. Roberts moved from right field to shortstop in the middle of last season and showed no drop off at the plate, hitting .335 while leading the team with a .440 on-base percentage and 53 runs scored. The Prince George,Va. native saw a majority of his time in either the leadoff or cleanup spots last season, and will once again hit in the top-half of the lineup as a junior. When Roberts heads to the mound, sophomore Steele Myers figures to man shortJunior Sam Roberts returns to shortstop and will stop after playing 27 games be moved to the starting rotation in 2010. there as a freshman. Biagini returns for his fourth season at the hot corner following another strong offensive campaign. Biagini ranked second on the squad with 16 doubles, nine home runs and 114 total bases as a junior, and will once again be expected to provide offense while hitting in the middle of the order. In addition, the twotime MLB draftee has made major strides defensively over the fall, solidifying what should be a strong fielding infield. Adding to that mix is sophomore Chase Worthington, who as a strong defender is slated to see time backing up Biagini at third base, but could also see time at several of the infield positions.
Outfield The Keydets return a pair of starters in the outfield in junior Graham Sullivan and sophomore Jacob Morley. Several freshmen figure to see roles as well, giving the coaching staff several different options to consider, based on match-ups. "Jacob Morley is by far our most valuable outfielder, as he has the versatility to
www.VMIKeydets.com
Season Preview play each of the three outfield positions," said Ikenberry. "He showed what he could do in center field last year, but will likely see time at all three positions in different scenarios this season. Graham Sullivan has proven that he can play left field at this level, and it looks like Erickson Keeton has an early leg up on the everyday right field position. Freshmen Rob Dickinson and Ombri Rivers should see time in center field based on match-ups, and guys like Brooks Martin and Austin Benda could see time out there as well." Sophomore Jacob Morley played in 51 of VMI’s 53 games last season and led the team with 12 stolen bases.
Sullivan shifted to left field at mid-season last year and blossomed offensively, hitting nearly .400 over the final 16 games after making the switch. The junior is expected to once again start in left, while Morley, who played in all but two games as a freshman, also figures to play a large role in the outfield. Morley led the team with 12 stolen bases a season ago and proved a valuable piece in the Keydet offense, and will be expected to do the same as a sophomore. Keeton will begin the season as the everyday starter in right field. A talented player with a plus arm, Keeton will be joined in the outfield rotation by Dickinson and Rivers. Dickinson and Rivers will most likely see their time in center, with the former providing a left-handed bat while the latter hits from the right side. Other outfield options include Martin and Benda, who adds depth as a utility player that could see time in either the outfield or infield.
Starting Pitching While the Keydets lost stalwart starters in Travis Smink and Chris Henderson last season, the staff does return several different pitchers who have started games over the past two seasons. Sam Roberts saw a majority of his time on the mound last season as a reliever, but will shift to the starting rotation as a junior. Sophomore Adam Lopez could make major strides in his sophomore campaign, and will likely open the year in the weekend rotation. Freshman Coby Cowgill came on during the fall campaign to nab a starting spot as well, and will be looked to for major innings in his first year on Post. "Sam Roberts has shown what he can do on the mound over the past two seasons, and we'll move him into the starting rotation this season," said Ikenberry. "He's by far our best three-pitch guy, and he's been outstanding in preseason bullpens. Adam Lopez had a good offseason and a great fall. He's increased the velocity on his fastball, he has better command of the zone and he's improved his breaking ball, so we think he's ready to make that next step. Coby Cowgill is very competitive, has a fastball in the upper 80's, a plus slider and a feel for the changeup. He will compete and throw strikes, and we're excited to see him take the mound as a freshman.”
return of three hurlers that missed the 2009 season. Chris Duty, Ryan Barefoot and Jason Farley each made starts two years ago, and as the season progresses, could move into the starting rotation. Duty earned All-Conference accolades as a sophomore, when he went 5-0 with two saves and a 1.95 ERA in 17 appearances, allowing conference opponents to hit just .100 in seven relief appearances. Barefoot saw action as a two-way player as a freshman, but will focus on the mound in the upcoming season. Farley showed great potential in his freshman season back in '08, going 3-2 with two saves in 36 innings. "We're really excited for the return of three talented guys on the mound," said Ikenberry. "Chris Duty looks good and is close to where he was two years ago, when he was voted All-Conference. Ryan Barefoot has shown signs of throwing the ball as well as he did before and has done a nice job of preparing himself to come back as a starting pitcher. He'll probably begin the year in short relief and we'll stretch him out as the season progresses. Jason Farley gives us a left-handed look as a starter and will be competing for one of the top four starting jobs. He's looked good in the offseason and has made some mechanical adjustments to improve his pitchability."
Relief Pitching VMI returns several relievers from last year's bullpen, anchored by Michael Devine and Alan Watts, who figure to shore up the back end of ballgames. The sophomores, each of whom deliver from a sidearm slot from the right side, gained valuable experience last season and saw great success during their summer campaigns, each being named to their league's All-Star teams. The expectation is that that success can translate onto the mound for the Keydets in 2010.
Sophomore Michael Devine enters the 2010 season as VMI’s top option at closer.
"We feel really good about our situation at the back end of the bullpen," said Ikenberry. "Mike Devine has solidified the closer role and has shown a definite improvement in velocity. Alan Watts will also see time late in ballgames, and not only has his velocity increased, but he has also shown better command of the strike zone." The Keydets also enjoy several other options from the right side out of the 'pen, led by junior Adam Kruithof and sophomores Andrew Deal and Jeremy Brown. Kruithof made 17 appearances last season, one shy of Deal's 18. Brown showed great promise early in the season while pitching in the weekend rotation before injuries cost him the second-half of his freshman campaign. The coaching staff is also excited about the development of freshmen Travis Thomas, John Garrett and Miles McQuaig. "We have a lot of depth in our bullpen among the right-handers," said Ikenberry. "Adam Kruithof had a great preseason, and Andrew Deal has the ability to be a wedge guy for us late in ballgames by coming in and spinning breaking balls. Jeremy Brown started for us last year, and he's going to start out the year in relief for us, where we think he can be valuable. We're really impressed with several young relievers, as Travis Thomas, John Garrett and Miles McQuaig have each shown the ability to come in and get hitters out." From the left side, sophomore Karter Rivera and freshman Joey Zarella have each shown great promise over the fall season and could see substantial roles in the bullpen in 2010.
Sophomore Adam Lopez is expected to play a The starting rotation also figures to be bolstered by the key role in the starting rotation this year.

Since its founding in 1983, the Big South Conference has matured into a competitive leader in college athletics, actively pursuing excellence on the field of play and in the classroom. The League's growing presence as an NCAA Division I athletic conference is evident by athletic accomplishments on the national stage, innovative marketing and media partnerships, increased television packages, and quality athletic competition while intentionally fostering the academic, personal, social, athletic and leadership development of each student-athlete. This has evolved into the Conference's mission of "Developing Leaders Through Athletics." The Big South Conference was formed on August 21, 1983, when Charleston Southern (then Baptist College) Athletic Director Howard Bagwell and Augusta President George Christenberry began recruiting members into the Big South, receiving initial commitments from Augusta, Charleston Southern, Campbell, Coastal Carolina and Winthrop. One month later, Dr. Edward M. Singleton was selected as the League's first Commissioner and continued to solicit new members. His efforts led to the additions of Armstrong State, Radford and UNC Asheville, giving the Big South more than the required six members to constitute an official conference. The Big South's first year of competition was in the Fall of 1984, and in September 1986, the Big South Conference was granted full-fledged NCAA Division I status. During its infancy and prior to securing automatic bids to NCAA Championships, the Big South made early strides in earning at-large berths in several national postseason events, including volleyball, women's basketball and women's golf. In 1989, George F. "Buddy" Sasser replaced the retiring Dr. Singleton as Commissioner, and in 1990, the League received its first automatic bid - receiving an automatic qualifier to the NCAA Baseball Championship. Under Sasser's seven years of leadership, the Conference implemented its public relations and compliance programs, and introduced its first-ever men's basketball television package, featuring the Big South competing among some of the finest teams in the nation. In August 1996, Kyle B. Kallander replaced Sasser as the League's third Commissioner, and in his 13 years at the helm of the Big South, Kallander has been instrumental in aggressively promoting the Conference to new levels. The Conference has enjoyed record levels in marketing revenue during

the past several years, he has brought television coverage to Big South women's basketball, baseball and softball for the first time in Conference history, as well as increased national television exposure to the League as a whole through aggressive and unique television packages. Under Kallander's leadership, the Big South developed and initiated its first long-range strategic plan, re-affirming the League's vision as a distinctive athletic Conference committed to the quality of institutional life through athletic competition. He also spearheaded the efforts to add football as a championship sport, which came to fruition in 2002, and has solidified Conference membership with the additions of High Point, Gardner-Webb and Presbyterian, and in 2011-12, the return of charter member Campbell University. Kallander's long range vision has also
included technological advancements, as the Conference introduced its first live event video streaming in 2005 and has since expanded its video offerings to more than 600 events annually through a partnership with the member institutions, as well as the creation of several online and social media platforms. In the last 15 years alone, the Big South Conference has experienced monumental growth and success in nearly every sport. During this time, the Conference has had two individual National Champions, more than 200 All-Americans, has reached the "Sweet 16" in men's soccer, women's basketball and baseball, has received national Top 25 rankings in men's soccer, men's basketball, women's basketball, baseball, men's outdoor track & field, and men's golf, had an individual selected to play in the NCAA Singles Championship four times in addition to the first men's tennis doubles at-large selection, had the No. 1 ranked men's golfer in the country, has had the nation's top scoring men's basketball team three consecutive years as well as the national men's basketball scoring leader twice, received an at-large playoff berth in the Football Championship Subdivision in 2006, and had an institution finish fifth in the NCAA Men's Golf Championships - the Conference's highest-ever team finish in an NCAA event.
In 2006-07 alone, the Big South was the only Conference nationwide to have an at-large participant in the football playoffs (Coastal Carolina), a team in the Second Round of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament (Winthrop) and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Baseball Regionals (Coastal Carolina). In fact, Coastal Carolina's baseball program has been a No. 1 seed three out of the last five years, while its FCS playoff berth in 2006 came in just the fifth-year of the Big South's football existence. The Conference's tagline, "Developing Leaders Through Athletics" was unveiled in 2008-09 in conjunction with the Conference's 25th Anniversary. The League also honored its heritage with the Top 25 "Best of the Best" moments in League history from 1983-2008, with Liberty University's 10-year women's basketball championship run from 19962007 being crowned the No. 1 moment in the Big South's first 25 years. The Conference's on-field accomplishments have been duplicated in the classroom. Annually, more than 40 percent of Conference student-athletes are named to the Big South's Presidential Honor Roll for maintaining a cumulative 3.0 grade-point average, and the League has had more than 95 Academic All-Americans in its quarter-century of existence.

2009 SEASON IN REVIEW
VMI KEYDETS BASEBALL 2010 MEDIA GUIDE
Noting The Keydets Keydets Break Postseason Slide: For the first time since joining the Big South Conference for the 2004 season, VMI scored a postseason victory, defeating GardnerWebb, 13-4, in the opening round of the 2009 Big South Baseball Championship. The eighth-seeded Keydets pounded out 13 runs on 21 hits to claim the win, knocking out #5 Gardner-Webb. The top four hitters in the Keydet lineup combined to go 14-for-21 with 10 runs scored, led by a 5-for-6 outing from Jordan Ballard, who also scored four runs for VMI. Tanner Biagini was 4-for-5, while A.J. Yoder's three hits gave him the VMI single-season hits record. Sam Roberts completed the run, going 2-for-4 with three runs scored and a pair of walks. Keydet starting pitcher Travis Smink (8-4) worked seven innings, allowing just two runs, one earned, on six hits. The left-hander punched out seven in scoring his 17th career victory, moving him into second place by himself on VMI's career wins list.
Notable Conference Numbers: Despite just a 10-15 mark in conference, several Keydets enjoyed impressive seasons against league opponents. Among the notables were: Tanner Biagini opened Big South play with an 18-game hitting streak. He reached base safely in 24 of VMI’s 25 games against conference opponents and led the team with 30 runs and 24 RBI in League play. A.J. Yoder collected 12 of his 13 doubles against Big South opponents. He led VMI with a .409 batting average, 45 hits, 12 doubles (tied) in League play. Travis Smink improved to 6-1 in nine conference starts with his win against High Point on the regular season’s final weekend. His lone
Big South loss came at Coastal Carolina, as he paced the team with 40 strikeouts in 55.2 conference innings. Sam Roberts hit .392 with seven doubles and a team-best .474 on-base percentage in conference play, but those aren’t even his most impressive League numbers. On the mound, Roberts made nine relief appearances, working 9.1 innings without surrendering an earned run. He collected three saves and struck out 11 while walking just three. Jacob Morley, VMI’s lone everyday freshman starter in ‘09, made quite an impression in his first trip around the League, hitting .274 with a team-best eight stolen bases in nine attempts.
Keydet Power: With 55 home runs, the 2009 Keydets hit the second-most home runs in a single-season in school history. Led by Jordan Ballard’s 11 round-trippers, 10 different Keydets hit home runs last season. Six of those players hit at least five home runs, including Tanner Biagini (9), Alex Haitsuka (9), Brian Sandridge (7), Sam Roberts (6) and Graham Sullivan (5). The Keydets came up just shy of the 1985 VMI squad that hit 56 dingers. Last year’s offense also set a school record with 838 total bases, while the team ranked second in hits (556), fifth in RBI (302), runs scored (331) and doubles (103) and eighth in slugging percentage (.444).
Brotherly Love:
When A.J. Yoder was named Big South Conference Player of the Week on April 27, it figured to be an exciting day for the Belleville, Pa. native. The elation doubled in the Yoder household later that afternoon, when A.J.’s brother Ben, a junior at Bucknell, was similarly named the Patriot League’s Player of the Week. It marked the first time that either Yoder brother had received a conference Player of the Week award. A.J. batted .500 (9-18) in helping VMI to a 3-2 mark on the week, including its first series A.J. Yoder earned First Team All-Conference honors win over
after hitting .349 as a senior.

2010 VMI BASEBALL
Winthrop in Rock Hill. In the Keydets’ 10-inning loss at Old Dominion, Yoder hit a two-run homer to account for all of VMI’s scoring against the Monarchs. He then went 2-for-3 with two RBI in VMI’s 6-5 win over Norfolk State, which snapped the Keydets’ eight-game losing streak. Yoder recorded an RBI in VMI’s one-run loss to Winthrop in the series opener, then went 5-for-5 with two runs and a double in a 6-5 win in game two. He followed that with a pair of runs, including the game-winner, in Sunday’s series clinching victory over the Eagles. Yoder struck out just once in 20 plate appearances and added two walks, two stolen bases, two sacrifice bunts and was hit by three pitches in recording a .609 on-base percentage in addition to a .722 slugging percentage. Yoder ended his career third on the VMI career hits chart with 221 in his four years at VMI. He also ranked among the school’s top five in career triples, at bats and hit by pitch, and played in the fourth-most games in school history. Yoder now serves as an assistant coach at Bucknell, where his brother is a senior.
VMI Victorious at Winthrop for First Time: In a series that saw each of its three games decided by a single run, VMI won its first-ever games at the Winthrop Ballpark, winning the weekend series for just the second time over the Eagles in six such tries. With 6-5 wins on both Saturday and Sunday, VMI snapped an 0-9 all-time mark at the Winthrop Ballpark, which included seven losses to the host Eagles and an 0-2 run at the 2007 Big South Championship. Each of the two wins unfolded in similar fashion, with VMI overcoming early deficits. Matt Edwards and Sam Roberts worked in relief in each of the wins, as the two combined to pitch four innings while surrendering just one hit, collecting a win and two saves.
Keydets Snap Skid With Win Over Spartans: An eight-game losing streak came to an end when Tanner Biagini delivered a bases-loaded single to deep left field, giving VMI a 6-5 victory over Norfolk State on April 22. The Keydets, who had lost no more than three consecutive games all season prior to the mid-April slide, improved to 14-0 all-time against Norfolk State with the win. And while the overall series record may be one-sided, a majority of the games have not been. VMI has now won five games, including both meetings last season, against NSU by just one run, while taking four more by either two or three runs. Chris Henderson notched his 16th career victory, tying him for the second-most in VMI history, by no-hitting the Spartans for 3.1 innings. www.VMIKeydets.com
Noting The Keydets In fact, the right-hander allowed just one base runner in his time on the mound, with that coming on a wild pitch following a strikeout.
Seven Home Runs Pace Keydets Past GWU: The Keydets slugged a school-record seven home runs in game one against Gardner-Webb, leading to a 21-3 win over the Bulldogs. The display set a new school record for VMI, who got two home runs each from Alex Haitsuka and Tanner Biagini, while Graham Sullivan, A.J. Yoder and Michael Devine each contributed single round-trippers. The seven dingers broke the school record of five which had been accomplished twice, coming against UNC Asheville (3/18/05) and Savannah State (4/1/07).
Haitsuka Plays Long Ball: Over a five-game stretch in early April, sophomore Alex Haitsuka blasted six home runs, upping his season total to eight. In game one against Liberty, Haitsuka hit an RBI triple in the second inning, a three-run homer in the fourth and then, following a Brian Sandridge dinger to start the eighth, hit his second round-tripper of the day. He drove in a career-best five in the game, a 13-6 VMI win. The next day, Haitsuka’s lone hit came in the form of a three-run home run in the fifth, while his two-run shot in the second inning put VMI on the board against VCU. Against Gardner-Webb, he collected his second two-home run game in eight days, going 3for-4 with six RBI against the Bulldogs in game one.
Coming Through In A Pinch: In that seven-home run game, two of the blasts came on pinch-hit appearances. Graham Sullivan and Michael Devine each delivered pinch-hit home runs, and made history in doing so. The Keydets had not had a pinch-hit home run in over four years before the Gardner-Webb game, dating back to March 18, 2005 against UNC Asheville. Overall, VMI played 230 games between pinch-hit home runs, then notched two in backto-back innings.
Six The Magic Number for VMI: In 2009, six runs was the magic number for VMI’s success on the diamond. When the Keydet bats scored at least six runs, the team was 16-8, while falling to 2-27 when failing to do so. On the flip side, the Keydets were 14-6 when holding opponents to less than six runs, and sat 4-29 when allowing at least that many.
Roberts Streak Comes to an End: Sam Roberts’ career-best 14-game hitting streak came to an end in game two against Liberty. He was still able to up his on-base percentage, however, reaching base three times in the contest by being walked, hit by a pitch, and reaching on an error. During his 14-game hitting streak, Roberts hit .403 (21-for-52) with nine RBI, 17 runs scored and 11 walks. He also had multiple hits in six of those games. Roberts, who saw action in 20 games on the mound last season, led VMI with 38 walks, a .440 on-base percentage and 53 runs scored as a sophomore.
Henderson Named Big South Pitcher of the Week: After allowing one earned run in 10 innings, senior right-hander Chris Henderson was named Big South Conference New Balance Pitcher of the Week for the week ending March 22.
Ballard Named Big South Co-Player of the Week: VMI first baseman Jordan Ballard was named the Big South Conference Choice Hotels Co-Player of the Week for games played March 30-April 5. Ballard (Troy, Va./Monticello) hit .647 (11-17) in four games for the Keydets with seven runs scored, seven driven in, six doubles and one home run. He had multiple hits in each game, including three-hit games in three-straight outings, in addition to a 1.176 slugging percentage and .684 on-base average. In VMI’s game one win over Liberty, the junior was 3-for-5 with three doubles and four RBI. The next day, he was 3-for-3 with a home run, two walks, two RBI and two runs scored. www.VMIKeydets.com

Henderson (Fredericksburg, Va./Colonial Forge) hurled the fourth complete game of his career in game two against UNC Asheville, allowing one earned run on five hits in a 13-2 win. The right-hander scored his first win of the season by striking out six without walking a batter, and allowing only three base runners through the first 6.2 innings. In addition, he also worked an inning of scoreless relief at Virginia Tech. His line on the week read: 2 GP, 1-0, 0.90 ERA, 10 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 7 SO, .162 opponents’ batting average. Both of Henderson’s career complete games against Big South opponents came at home when facing UNC Asheville. It marked the third time that Henderson was named Big South Pitcher of the Week in his career.
Smink & Henderson Go The Distance: Against UNC Asheville, starters Travis Smink and Chris Henderson hurled back-to-back complete games for VMI, as the Keydets won the weekend series against the Bulldogs. Smink pitched the second complete game of his career by allowing one run on seven hits against UNCA. The Keydets scored a 6-1 win behind the left-hander, who retired 10 of the final 11 batters that he faced, throwing 119 pitches. Henderson needed 120 pitches to throw the fourth complete game of his career. In his start, he allowed only five hits and two runs, one earned in a 13-2 win. Henderson allowed only three base runners in the opening 6.2 innings, and had multiple base runners in only one frame, the ninth. It marked the first time since Jimmy Thoms and J.J. Hollenbeck did so that VMI had back-toback complete games. Thoms and Hollenbeck turned the trick on April 8 & 9, 2005 against
Longwood.
Henderson Tops Charts: Senior right-hander Chris Henderson enjoyed an impressive career at VMI, as his name can now be found in several places in the VMI record book. A three-year weekend starter for the Keydets, Henderson ranks tops in VMI’s history in fewest walks per nine innings (1.70), while coming in among the top five in wins (16), strikeouts (212) and opponents batting average (.272). He also ranks in the top 10 in career innings pitched (258.2), ERA (4.04) and strikeouts per nine innings (7.38).
Keydets Sweep Again In Big South Opener: For the third consecutive season, VMI opened its Big South campaign with a road sweep, though the 2009 version was not much like anything the Keydets had seen before. Taking on Presbyterian College in the Blue Hose’ first year as a member of the Big South, the Keydets saw Friday’s contest postponed and eventually cancelled due to inclement weather. On Saturday, the Keydets pounded out a 14-4 win with a season-best 21 hits, before rallying late for a 12-10 win in eight innings on Sunday. In all, the Keydets scored 26 runs on 32 hits in the two games. The two-game series marked the first conference series that VMI was unable to complete since joining the Big South seven seasons ago. VMI last played a two-game series back in 2002, managing only two games each against UNC Greensboro and Appalachian State in the program’s Southern Conference days. With the series win, the Keydets have now won each of its past five conference-opening series, with the last four of those coming on the road.

In 2009, the Keydets won their first Big South Championship game. www.VMIKeydets.com
Noting The Keydets Included in those are road sweeps of Charleston Southern in 2007 and High Point in 2008.
ACC opponents on the year, as in six games he hit .368 (7-for-19) with four home runs, five runs scored, seven RBI and a 1.000 SLG.
Ike’s Milestones:
Smink Earns Stopper Nod:
With VMI’s wins at PC, VMI head coach Marlin Ikenberry hit a pair of milestones. VMI’s game one victory over the Blue Hose marked Ikenberry’s 150th win at the Institute. Ikenberry then scored his 50th Big South win with the team’s 12-10 victory over PC on Sunday. The school’s leader in coaching victories now stands 161-167 overall as he enters his seventh season as the Keydets’ skipper.
As a sophomore, Travis Smink did a standout job in a relief role for the Keydets, converting seven saves while going 2-1 in a team-high 19 appearances. Despite shifting to the weekend rotation last season, Smink was honored for his work out of the pen by earning a nod on the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) Stopper of the Year Award Watch List in the preseason. Smink, a 2006 Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American, was also listed as one of Baseball America’s Top Prospects in the Big South Conference last preseason. The Stopper of the Year listing marked the second time that a VMI player has been named to the list, joining Kevin Crum who was so honored in 2007.
Roberts Finds Power Stroke: Sam Roberts has done a little bit of everything since joining the Keydet program. One thing he had not done, however, was hit a home run, at least until early last season. Against Rider, Roberts went deep in three consecutive games, twice to the opposite field, as the Prince George, Va. native collected nine RBI in the four-game series. Most impressively, Roberts made a winner of himself on the mound with Sunday’s two-run blast in the eighth inning, giving VMI a 12-11 win after he had allowed the go-ahead run to score for the Broncs in the top of the eighth.
Morley Leads Keydets Past ODU In 11: Freshman Jacob Morley’s bases-loaded single up the middle scored Justin Topping to give VMI an 11-inning, 4-3 win over Old Dominion last Feb. 24 at Gray-Minor Stadium. Morley went 3-for-4 with a triple and two RBIs in the game, hitting out of the ninth spot in the order. Topping went 2-for-4, while Alex Haitsuka collected VMI’s other RBI. Travis Smink (1-1) picked up the win by working the final 3.2 innings, allowing only one hit while striking out six. VMI moved to 3-0 in home openers since opening Gray-Minor Stadium in 2007.
2009 Freshmen In Elite Company: Last fall, the 2009 VMI baseball signing class was included in Collegiate Baseball’s annual rankings. In their 26th annual recruiting rankings, Collegiate Baseball included VMI in their listing of Other Top Recruiting Classes, following their rankings of the nation’s top 40 classes. The Keydets were one of two Big South programs honored on the list, as Liberty was also included among the Others list. The ranking was the second such listing for the class. The previous spring, PGCrosschecker.com listed VMI’s class as #88 on its rankings of the nation’s top classes.

Ballard Bashes: On opening weekend against one of the top pitching staffs in the country, first baseman Jordan Ballard made his presence felt, going deep off of two of the top hurlers in the country. On opening day against #1 North Carolina, Ballard hit a solo shot in the fourth inning off of All-American Alex White to put the Keydets on the scoreboard, part of a 2-for-5 effort on Friday. Two days later, Ballard went 2-for-3 with a threerun shot in the first inning off of freshman AllAmerican Matt Harvey. In the series, Ballard was 4-of-11 (.364) with four RBI, slugging .909 while posting a .462 on-base percentage. Ballard kept the hot hitting rolling against www.VMIKeydets.com

VMI HISTORY & RECORDS
VMI KEYDETS BASEBALL 2010 MEDIA GUIDE
The VMI Baseball Story As the the VMI Baseball program reaches milestones never before achieved in its history, it becomes an appropriate time to survey the rich history of baseball at the Institute, a story dating back to its early days, over 140 years ago.
to be among the greatest in VMI history.
As the Institute continued its rebuilding efforts following its burning in the The 1885 VMI Baseball Team. Summer of 1864, cadets turned to a new sport in the Fall of 1866. An account by Hugh Walker Fry in the 1914 Bomb details the beginnings of the first documented team sport at VMI, introduced by Samuel Taylor: I remember that fall that Sam had returned to the Institute from Richmond, where he had been spending his vacation. The day after his arrival he asked me to accompany him to the Parade Ground. Once there he instructed me to stand off from him about fifty feet. I did so. Sam twirled his arm around two or three times and let fly an object at me. Instinctively I was in the act of dodging, but Sam cried, “Catch it, you clodhopper!” So I caught it. Not knowing what the missile was, I asked Sam, “What in tarnation is this thing?” Sam replied, “You stupe, it’s a baseball.” By that time a crowd of cadets gathered around, and we formed a circle. For some time we were carried away with the sport of passing the ball from one to the other. Sam Taylor had gotten a book of Spalding’s Rules, and he had been playing ball in Richmond that summer. Garland Longstreet, another cadet from New Orleans, had played ball that summer too. It was not long before we organized the first baseball team at the Virginia Military Institute. That year we played twenty-three match games: won twenty, lost one, and tied two. (p. 149)
1938 would become a season long remembered in VMI baseball lore. The team posted seven wins, a five-win improvement from the year before, and was regarded as one of the program’s finest sides with some outstanding individual talent. Charles “Billy” Robertson ‘38 was a noteworthy hurler who averaged over ten strikeouts per contest, while his catcher was the incomparable Paul Shu. Shu earned All-State and All-Conference recognition in football, led the basketball team in scoring, won the state javelin title in addition to his exploits on the diamond. But it was an event away from the field that brought the program a great deal of attention, though perhaps indirectly. In 1938, the movie Brother Rat was released, with future President Ronald Reagan playing Dan Crawford and Eddie Albert portraying Bing Edwards, a pair of VMI baseball players who bend the rules just weeks before graduation and must scramble to stay in school and secure their degree. It is this picture that many casual acquaintances of VMI have when referencing the Keydet baseball program.
At the turn of the decade, two more future VMI Hall of Famers donned the Red,White and Yellow in the persons of Gilly Laughorn ‘31 and Lefty Williams ‘31. Laughorn was a slugger who led the team in home runs and earned honorable mention All-American status as a first classman, while Williams was regarded as a standout pitcher who posted two-hitters of both Cornell and VPI as a third classman. Both players were offered contracts from major league clubs, as Laughorn went on to play for three seasons in the Chicago White Sox organization. Laughorn and Williams led the teams to solid campaigns of 10-6 (1929), 11-4 (1930), and 12-6 (1931).
Crosstown rival Washington College (now Washington & Lee University) provided the opponent for several of those first contests, though the team did travel to Lynchburg in 1867 to play the Hill City Club, where they fell by one run. The team’s first game against the University of Virginia came in 1889, a rivalry that still continues as the teams are scheduled to play each other twice during the upcoming season. The schedule became broader as the years went by, as annual games against in-state opponents Randolph-Macon, Hampden-Sydney, Richmond College and VPI became the standard. The rivalry with Washington & Lee was also kept up until the spring of 1904, when an “overenthusiastic response of spectators” caused the two schools to cease athletic relations. In the early 1900’s, three players stood out on the diamond so much so that they were inducted into the VMI Sports Hall of Fame some 60-plus years later. William Couper ‘04 holds the distinction as being both the earliest Baseball Hall of Famer, as he was also the first recipient of a VMI monogram. A first baseman and captain of the ‘04 team, Couper was inducted as part of the inaugural class of 1972, along with four other baseball players. Robert Y. Conrad ‘05 earned induction in 1974, as his play in right field and as a right tackle on the football team, earned him the honor, though it was awarded posthumously, as he was killed in combat during the Battle of the Marne in World War I. John L. Pitts ‘16 was an outstanding pitcher who received the Williamson Graham Cup for overall athletic excellence and was inducted into the VMI Sports HOF in 1975. Until the 1921-22 season, the squad played home games on the Parade Ground, just as the football team did. In that season, both teams relocated to Alumni Field, a site which the football team still uses today, while the baseball team shifted operations to Patchin Field in the early 1960’s. In that historic first game at Alumni Field in April of 1922, the Keydets hosted the University of South Carolina. VMI Hall of Fame inductee Frank M. Page, Jr. ‘23 had a day to remember, as he hurled the first of his two no-hitters that year. In the game, shortstop Joseph M. Hatchett hit a majestic home run to center field on the first pitch thrown to a VMI batter at the field. Later in the inning, Edward Ryder hit another long round-tripper to the same spot, helping Page earn the 8-0 victory, the first of six consecutive wins for Page as he wound up the season with an 8-2 mark. Included in that total were a pair of twohitters, a one-hitter, and another no-hitter, this time against VPI in the final home game of the season. Those outings accompanied a 16-strikeout performance in a 4-2 win against Roanoke College, which still didn’t match an 18-strikeout game he posted in 1920.
Frank M. Page, Jr. ‘23 hurled two nohitters in 1922, including one against South Carolina in the first baseball game ever played at Alumni Field.

The team went 11-2 in that season, and followed that up by going 13-4 in 1923, including two shutouts of Virginia by Page. Those teams have been regarded by some
As the Institute resumed its normal operations following World War II, a pair of players stood out for their performances on the field in Claude “Red” Patton ‘50 and Oliver “Red” Williford ‘51. Patton, who was inducted into the HOF in 1975, was a unanimous All-State selection in 1950, while Williford was named All-State in four consecutive seasons, while he also won the Cincinnati Medal and the Silver Star for gallantry in action during his distinguished military career. In the mid 1950’s, the team turned in three consecutive 12-win seasons, marking the program’s best run until Charlie McGinnis’ days at the helm of the program in the early 1960’s. After going just 15-14 in his first two seasons on post, McGinnis’ nine accrued 40 wins over the next three seasons (1963-65), including a 15-9 mark in 1965 that stood as the program’s last winning season until the 2006 campaign, when Marlin Ikenberry’s troops posted a 30-25 record. When putting together any list of the top pitchers in the program’s history, certainly near the top along with Page,Williams, & Robertson would have to be the name of Percy Sensabaugh ‘66. As a third classman, Sensabaugh ranked second in the country Ronald Reagan in his role as a cadet with 106 strikeouts, a record that still stands in the 1938 movie Brother Rat. as the program’s top mark. That, along with (Courtesy Warner Brothers) his 0.67 ERA, may represent the finest statistical season on record, though his second class year (1.04 ERA, 71 K, 69 IP, 5 CG) certainly ranks a close second. Twice during the 1964 campaign, Sensabaugh struck out at least 20 batters, doing so against West Virginia on April 11 before sitting down 21 in an 11-inning contest against The Citadel later that year. However, his playing career was cut tragically short due to an arm injury sustained while throwing the shot put, dashing any hopes of a professional career. However, Sensabaugh was not the only star player of those mid-1960’s teams. The 1963 team saw a pair of newcomers that went on to earn All-American status, as Joe Bush and Donnie White each helped the team to new batting average and stolen-base records. Bush, who later earned induction into the HOF on his football credentials, was a center fielder with a stick for that team, while White, a sure-handed shortstop with wheels, earned induction in 1975. White, also an accomplished football halfback, led the team in hitting for three consecutive seasons, including a high of .391 as a third classman, while his 26 stolen bases in 1963 was the secondhighest mark in the nation that season. White’s relationship with the baseball program has now spanned into its fifth decade, as he has served as player, assistant coach, head coach, and now as the Institute’s athletic director. Just four years later, the team would go on an unlikely run under the direction of Chuck Roys. After finishing the regular season with a 7-7 mark, the 1969 Keydets, under the direction of Chuck Roys, forced a one-game playoff against William & Mary to determine the Southern Conference’s Northern Division Champions. Despite falling in three of their previous four meetings with the Tribe that year, the Keydets claimed a thrilling 13-inning decision that lasted deep into the Colonial Heights night to defeat W&M 5-3 and earn a spot in the SoCon Championship Series against Furman the next day. But there was no magic left in the Keydet bats, as the team fell 7-2 and 5-4 to the Paladins, leaving their first SoCon Championship appearance empty-handed. That team was led by a standout fourth classman pitcher by the name of Vern Beitzel, who later went on to serve as head coach for four seasons. He was joined by J.C. Hanks and Timothy White, each of whom helped shoulder the offensive load. In fact,White hit over .330 for three consecutive years, while helping to almost single-handedly end VPI’s 19-year winning streak over the Keydets in VMI’s come-from-behind, 8-6 victory.

The VMI Baseball Story The coming seasons would be a struggle for the program, as they failed to win more than six games in a season until the 1982 team, when first-year head man Donnie White claimed Southern Conference Coach of the Year honors for engineering a dramatic turnaround. Under his direction, the team steadily improved its win totals in the SoCon over the next six seasons while players like Phil Hubbard ‘83, Greg Weddle ‘86 and Chris Finwood ‘88 each became standouts who would later earn induction into the HOF. Hubbard, who batted.424 as a junior, still ranks as one of the top sluggers in VMI history, as his .350 career batting average is the thirdhighest total of all time. Meanwhile,Weddle’s exploits at the plate still have him as the career leader in slugging percentage (.633) and home runs (37), while his .328 batting average and 146 RBI also rank in the top five. During those seasons, the team posted back-to-back .500 seasons for the first time since the 1962 & 1963 campaigns. In 1987,White led the Keydets to a 16-16-1 record, and more importantly, an 8-4 SoCon mark. The team finished second in the North Division that season, earning a berth into the Conference Tournament. There, after dropping their opening game to Western Carolina, the Keydets slugged their way to back-to-back wins against Davidson and Appalachian State, though they needed extra innings to dispatch the Mountaineers. The Keydets then faced off against Western Carolina in the Championship Finals, where they fell 9-4. That run saw the end of White’s VMI coaching career, as Paul Maini took over the reins and saw great success his first year, leading the team to a 20-20 mark, while Maini earned SoCon Coach of the Year honors that season. Finwood, as so many of the program’s fine players have done, would return to Lexington to head up the program just a few short years after his playing days had wrapped up. During those playing days, Finwood had helped lead VMI to a pair of Northern Division Championships (1987, 1988), while he was voted All-Southern Conference three times in his career. Just three years after his graduation, Finwood took over the program after a disastrous 2-35-1 campaign, and immediately began to right the ship. In his three years, Finwood won 52 games, the fifthmost in school history, while his eighth-seeded 1993 team went on one of the most magical rides in VMI athletic history, defeating three consecutive favored opponents to advance to the SoCon Tournament Finals, where they eventually fell to second-seeded Western Carolina. That ‘93 team also featured several individuals that would continue the VMI baseball legacy over the following years. Along with Finwood, the team also included assistant coach Tom Slater ‘90, who would serve for three seasons as VMI’s head coach, engineering a 16-14 record in the Southern Conference in 2003, before eventually moving on to take over as the head coach at Auburn prior to the 2005 season. Playing on that team were a pair of catchers that would go on to serve as assistant coaches for the Keydets in Chris Chernisky ‘94 and Marlin Ikenberry ‘95. Chernisky took over the Niagara program prior to the 2005 season, while Ikenberry is in his fourth season at the helm of the Keydet program. A freshman pitcher/outfielder on the 1993 team was Portsmouth,Va. native Ryan Glynn ‘96. A power source at the plate and a strikeout artist on the mound, Glynn’s 8.78 strikeouts per nine innings still ranks as the highest in VMI history, while his 31 home runs and 126 RBI place him among the top ten in each category as well. Impressive numbers, considering the fact that Glynn only played three seasons for the Keydets. That was because Glynn was drafted in the 4th round (94th overall) of the The 1993 VMI baseball team marched through the 1995 MLB First-Year Player Southern Conference Tournament all the way to the Draft by the Texas Rangers, the highest selecFinals before falling to Western Carolina. tion of any Keydet in the program’s history. And after four-plus seasons playing in the Rangers’ minor league system, Glynn made his major league debut on May 16, 1999 against the Baltimore Orioles. Just over a week later, Glynn started his first major league contest, doing so in Tampa Bay on May 25, 1999. In that game, Glynn pitched 4.1 innings in a Rangers’ 7-2 victory. In all, Glynn pitched in the majors in five different seasons, winning nine contests and striking out 116 batters, while he earned VMI Sports HOF induction in 2005, the most recent baseball inductee. Glynn’s final season playing for the Keydets marked the first campaign for one of VMI’s most successful coaches, Scott Gines ‘83. Gines owns the second-longest tenure of any VMI head baseball coach, as he collected 104 wins over six seasons. He still remains the program’s alltime leader in coaching victories, as he twice saw his team qualify for the SoCon Tournament. Gines’ final season came in 1999, when the team posted a new school-record win total with a 22-27 campaign during which they also went 13-16 in the League. However, an 0-2 finish in the SoCon tournament dashed the dreams of yet another miracle tournament run. The 2000 season would see one of the greatest offensive statistical seasons in the program’s history, as Chris Catanzaro ‘01 hit .392, doing so with 76 hits, 25 of which were doubles, along with 56 runs and 46 RBI. Those numbers helped him to claim the career records which still stand today of a .356 batting average, 72 doubles, 411 total bases and 155 RBI, while his second-place total of 258 hits was only eclipsed in 2006 by the culmination of the stellar career of Kelly Sweppenhiser ‘06.
six seasons as an assistant coach at Auburn. While serving under legendary AU baseball coach Hal Baird, Slater recruited several future major leagues, including Tim Hudson, Chris Bootcheck and Gabe Gross. Despite only winning 25 games in his first two seasons at the helm, Slater laid the groundwork for some of the finest seasons in VMI baseball history in the coming years. It got started in 2003, when Slater’s bunch went 25-27, setting yet another new record for wins in a season, while his 16-14 Ryan Glynn ‘96 is the only Keydet to play in the SoCon mark earned him Coach major leagues, doing so for the Texas Rangers, of the Year honors from the Toronto Blue Jays and Oakland Athletics. League. It didn’t hurt that the seventh-seeded team also won a pair of games in the SoCon tournament, defeating both thirdseeded Citadel and fifth-seeded Furman by 2-1 scores before being ousted by fourth-seeded UNC Greensboro. The loss was a bittersweet ending to the 75-year relationship between VMI and the Southern Conference, as the Institute joined the Big South Conference in the Fall of 2003. And with the new Conference affiliation came a new coach. Ikenberry took the reins after serving for three seasons as an assistant under Slater. After a disappointing 2004 season that saw the team go 23-32 in its inaugural Big South campaign, Ikenberry’s boys made sure the rest of the league knew the Keydets were a force to be reckoned with in 2005, posting 27 wins and an 11-13 conference record, earning their first berth into the Big South Championship. For the fourth time in five seasons, the 2006 squad again surpassed the school record for wins in a season. But the team’s 30 wins was only half the story, as the team lost only 25 contests, marking the program’s first winning season since McGinnis’ 1965 team. The team also scored a pair of historic firsts, including a series win at Auburn to open up the season, the first time the Keydets had ever claimed a series victory against an SEC team. Then on the season’s final weekend,VMI took two of three against #16 Winthrop, marking the first series win against a ranked team in program history. That spring, the team bid farewell to undoubtedly one of the top bats to ever don red, white and yellow, as Kelly Sweppenhiser was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays, and, later that summer, became only the second Keydet to reach AAA, doing so with the Syracuse SkyChiefs in September 2006. Sweppenhiser graduated with numerous records and honors, as his 263 hits, 172 runs, 411 total bases, .457 on-base percentage helped him to become the VMI’s first Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American and first Dick Howser Award Watch Listee. The 2007 season will long stand as a watershed moment in the history of the program. GrayMinor Stadium, named after a pair of former VMI catchers in Sen. Elmon Gray ’46 and Gil Minor ‘63, was christened on Feb. 16, when the Keydets claimed a 10-2 decision over Bucknell. That would be a telling sign of things to come for VMI at Gray-Minor Stadium in ‘07, as the Keydets went 23-7 in their new home, including wins over #3 Virginia,VCU and Richmond. In addition to its new digs, the program also achieved several firsts, including their first-ever national ranking (holding the 30th spot for consecutive weeks in Collegiate Baseball’s poll), a pair of wins over top-ten teams (with a win at #10 Auburn joining the home win over #3 Virginia) and back-to-back 30-win seasons. Sophomore Michael Bowman took down a pair of school records by striking out 110 batters in 99.0 innings, on his way to Second Team AllConference accolades. Meanwhile, junior Trey Barham became the school’s career wins leader, helping pace a pitching staff that posted its lowest ERA in 33 seasons. The upward trend continued in 2008, as the Keydets not only posted their third straight winning season (29-26), but posted the team’s best conference finish since joining the Big South. At 14-7, the Keydets tied for second place in the league standings, tying the school record for conference winning percentage from the 1987 squad. The 2008 team also knocked off a ranked opponent for the fourth straight year and saw three players drafted, including Michael Bowman, who was selected in the ninth round by the Milwaukee Brewers. It marked the third-highest a VMI player had ever been taken in the Major League Baseball draft. In 2009, the program took some impressive steps forward despite battling through a difficult campaign. For the fifth-straight year, the Keydets had multiple players named All-Conference, while also claiming the program’s first Big South Championship win, upsetting fifth-seeded Gardner-Webb. The season also saw senior A.J.Yoder pound out a school-record 80 hits while moving into third place on the school’s career hits list. In addition, the Keydets opened the season at #1 North Carolina, marking the first time in program history that VMI had faced the nation’s top team. As the program embarks on its next era, the VMI baseball story continues what has already been a dynamic journey. -Adapted by Christian Hoffman from Col.Tom Davis’ outstanding work in The Corps Roots the Loudest.

The upcoming season promises to be an exciting one and we will do everything we can to keep you up to date on the latest with Keydet baseball. If you have a special request or if we can be of further service to you, please contact us. INTERVIEWS: Head coach Marlin Ikenberry will be available for interviews following all home games. Players will also be available for interviews at that time. Both coach and player interviews outside of postgame situations must be coordinated through the VMI Sports Information office. Since cadets do not have phones in their rooms, it is virtually impossible to contact a player directly. However, we will be happy to arrange interviews with any player, usually in the afternoons before practice. PHOTOGRAPHERS: All photographers are asked to shoot from behind the fences behind home plate and down the first and third base lines. Under no circumstances will photographers be allowed into the dugouts or onto the field during a game. We ask for your cooperation in this matter. CREDENTIALS: Press and photography passes will be supplied to those media outlets covering VMI Baseball. To request credentials, contact Christian Hoffman (contact info at left). The passes can be mailed out if time allows, or they can be picked up at the ticket stand down the right-field line. PRESS FACILITIES: For many years, members of the media and visiting SIDs at Patchin Field have understood and adapted to the lack of facilities available to those working a game at “The Patch”. With the opening of Gray-Minor Stadium, the VMI Sports Information office can finally begin paying back those hard-working individuals by offering the best seat in the house at each VMI home game. As many as eight spaces are available at each game for working members of the media in the press box, located directly behind home plate. As always, statistics and notes will be available prior to each game and a complete box score and playby-play will be available approximately 10 minutes after the conclusion of each game. We look forward to seeing you out at Gray-Minor Stadium this season to take in an exciting time in VMI Baseball. RADIO BROADCAST LINES: Visiting teams wishing to broadcast games from Patchin Field are asked to contact VMI Associate A.D./Athletic Communications Wade Branner (540-464-7515) at least two weeks prior to the game. KEYDETS ON THE WEB: Fans and media are encouraged to follow the team on the VMI athletic home page. Timely information on the diamond Keydets will be available to both media and fans alike. Included are schedules, rosters, stats and the latest notes on the team as well as access to live radio broadcasts. Fans and media can also view a live stats broadcast of most, if not all, of the team’s contests. The VMI Keydets can be accessed on the world wide web at www.vmikeydets.com. BIG SOUTH CONFERENCE: Baseball statistics for the eight Big South Conference schools are compiled throughout the season at the conference office in Charlotte, N.C. For up-to-date information, call Mark Simpson at 704-341-7990 or visit the League’s website at www.BigSouthSports.com.

ITS VMI, PLEASE: When referring to our athletic teams, it is requested that members of the media refer to this institution as "VMI", or "Virginia Military Institute", not "Virginia Military" or the cryptic "Va. Military". Any help in using the correct moniker would be greatly appreciated.
