2010 Missouri State Season Outlook

New Look Bears Strive to Repeat as MVC Champs Solid mix of veterans and newcomers make up talented roster

The 2010 Missouri State Baseball Bears look much different than the squad that claimed a Missouri Valley Conference championship a year ago. While losing four All-Americans off the roster might spell trouble for some clubs, 28th-year head coach Keith Guttin reloaded with young talent and plans to field another contender in 2010.

As for the team’s predicted second-place MVC finish in the league’s preseason poll, Guttin said, “People in the league feel like we have talented players, and we feel that way as well.”

That talent is centered around defense up the middle, with Aaron Conway (Jr., Edwardsville, Ill.) patrolling center field, Kevin Medrano (So., Lee’s Summit, Mo.) at second base and Travis McComack (So., De Soto, Mo.) at shortstop.

Starting pitchers Aaron Meade (Jr., Kansas City, Mo.), a preseason all-conference pick, and Pat Doyle (Sr., St. Louis, Mo.), have a combined five years in the program under their belts and will anchor a talented staff with a number of new faces with solid credentials.

at Missouri State.

A preseason All-America selection according to Ping!Baseball, Meade went 9-2 with a 3.39 ERA as a first-team all-MVC pick in 2009. He parlayed that success into an allstar selection in the Cape Cod League over the summer, where he went 3-1 with a 1.91 ERA and 47 strikeouts, ranking fourth in the league in Ks. Pat Doyle joined the weekend rotation with two weeks to go in the 2009 regular season, earning wins against Creighton and Indiana State to help the Bears secure a league title.

The righty logged 48 innings and posted a 4.12 ERA, a 4-2 record and a pair of saves.

Several hurlers will vie for the third spot in the weekend rotation as the Bears possess many options as Sunday and midweek starters.

Blake Barber (Jr., Kenner, La.), a transfer from Northeast Texas Community College, totalled 127 strikeouts in 120 innings over two seasons in junior college and has the make-up to start or relieve at the Division I level.

Mike Kickham (So., Springfield, Mo.) returns home after a season at Crowder College in Neosho, Mo. The lefty has a good arm and fanned 47 hitters in 41 innings as a freshman Solid Mix on the Mound A number of veteran arms welcome an in 2009. intriguing nucleus of newcomers to a pitching A pair of rookies in Grant Gordon (Fr., staff which shows plenty of promise in 2010.

The righty went 12-0 with a 0.38 ERA and 152 strikeouts as a senior, and fanned 34 against one hit in two appearances during an injury-shortened junior season.

Johnson was a 15th-round pick of Tampa Bay in the 2009 draft despite missing half of his senior season at Faith Christian Academy due to injury. Johnson struck out 45 batters in 25 innings last year, posted a 0.54 ERA as a junior and went 10-0 with a four-hitter in the state title game as a sophomore.

Clay Murphy (Fr., Wolf Lake, Ill.) is projected as the team’s closer. He has a strikeout breaking ball that helped him fan 355 hitters over the his final three Aaron Meade went 9-2 with a 3.39 ERA as a first-team all-MVC pick prep seasons, as well as the last season.

competitive nature and bounce-back ability required of a stopper.

Five veterans and a freshman round out the pitching staff and provide much-needed depth and experience.

J.C. Casey (Jr., Springfield, Mo.) made marked improvement between his first and second seasons at Missouri State and looks forward to another jump this season. He split time between bullpen and starting roles last year, throwing 26.1 innings. Over the summer, Casey led the Coastal Plain League with 80.2 innings pitched, 11 starts and five pickoffs while putting up a 2.79 ERA, 60 strikeouts and a .223 opponent average.

In addition to his mound prowess, Casey worked out in the field during fall practice to add another dimension to his game and depth to the defense.

Sean Toler (Sr., DesPeres, Mo.) has 56.1 innings to his credit in three seasons as a Bear with a career average of nearly a strikeout per frame. The hard-throwing righty has come out of the bullpen for all but two of his 36 career appearances.

Another veteran is Cody Aycock (Jr., Batesville, Ark.), whose 3.79 ERA in 2009 was the best among Missouri State relievers. Aycock logged 81 innings over 29 appearances and seven starts over his first two seasons, combining for a 4-1 record and 4.22 ERA.

at shortstop, and the Bears went 26-11 with him at the position.

Like McComack, Tyler Ryun (Jr., Platte City, Mo.) provided a spark to the Bears last season when he became the starting first baseman in early March. The junior hit .268 with eight homers and 28 RBIs and batted a solid .345 against MVC pitching.

Stepping in for Drake at the hot corner is another middle-of-theorder hitter in Beau Stoker (Fr., Kansas City, Kan.). Stoker opted for college ball after Minnesota selected him in the 18th round of the 2009 draft.

He can hit for power and average, and comes from a Bishop Ward High program that won three state titles in his four seasons. Stoker Aaron Conway is a preseason all-MVC choice in the outfield. hit .460 as a senior and .500 as a junior, earning all-state recognition Adam Maddox (So., Concordia, Mo.) in Kansas both seasons. worked himself into a valuable member of the

Curt Courtwright (Sr., Lincoln, Ill.) rounds MSU bullpen as a redshirt freshman last season, out the infield group and can play both positions culminating with a win over Illinois State in on the left side.

Courtwright saw action in 107 the MVC Tournament when he pitched the games over his first three seasons and possesses final 4.1 innings, and should assume a similar exceptional defensive skills.

He set the school role this season.

Tyler Bean (Jr., Topeka, Kan.) made one record with 10 assists in a game at Creighton appearance in 2009 before an injury sidelined in May of last season, and concluded his junior him for the season. Coming off successful campaign with 59 consecutive errorless surgery, Bean looked good during fall chances. practice.

Ryan Modglin (So., Scott City, Mo.) and Barrett Noirfalise (Fr., Joplin, Mo.) are both two-way players who could provide a spark on the mound and contribute in the outfield and offensively.

with 29 RBIs, 22 extra-base hits and 18 steals in 20 tries.

Known for his speed, Conway slugged .464 last season and drew 40 walks to rank second in the MVC and seventh in school history. He continued to hone his base-stealing skills in the summer, going 44-for-47 for Green Bay of the Northwoods League to finish one shy of the league record.

Keenen Maddox (Fr., Ballwin, Mo.) should fill in nicely in left field. Another speedy outfielder with some power, Maddox was a four-year starter in high school at Parkway West outside St. Louis. He showed glimpses of his bright future after hitting .482 as a freshman in high school and earning the Missouri High School Coaches Newcomer of the Year award.

Likely sharing time at the other corner outfield spot are veterans Christian Overstreet (Sr., Nixa, Mo.) and Trevor Rogers (So., Magnolia, Ark.), who can each provide some power from the left side of the plate.

Experience on the Infield

Three-fourths of the infield returns with only the large shoes of 2009 MVC Player of the Year Brayden Drake to fill at third base. Valley Freshman of the Year Kevin Medrano returns to man second base after hitting .329 with three homers and 40 RBIs as a rookie.

In addition to his bat, Medrano’s fielding prowess was on display as he fielded .980 at second for the season, bettering that number at .990 in MVC games. He also stroked 76 base hits, fourth in school history among freshmen, and ranked fourth in the conference with 53 runs scored while logging 24 multihit games.

Joining Medrano up the middle is fellow sophomore Travis McComack, who hit .276 with 24 RBIs with a 7-for-7 stolen base ledger as a freshman.

McComack made 37 of his 44 starts

Tyler Ryun started 41 games at first base as a sophomore and belted eight home runs.

Overstreet has seen nearly half of his hits go for extra bases in 76 career games while swiping 11 bases in 14 tries.

Rogers saw significant time as the Bears’ designated hitter as a freshman, playing in 41 games and finishing the season with a .247 batting average, two home runs and 15 RBIs. Zak Swyhart (So., St. Joseph, Mo.) is a switch hitter with speed who batted .247 with 12 RBIs in 34 games last season and will provide depth at any outfield spot, while Modglin is a powerful left-handed bat who could also see time.

Pat Doyle posted a 4.12 ERA and 4-2 record last season after joining the Bears’ weekend rotation late in the year.

Catching Duties Shared

Brett Marshall (So., Springfield, Mo.) and Luke Voit (Fr., Wildwood, Mo.) will likely split time behind the plate.

A Springfield native, Marshall saw limited action as a freshman but was thrust into the starting role during the conference tournament last season when Dallas Hord went down with an injury.

Marshall is a solid defender who played error-free in 50 chances last season and hit .238 with two RBIs and six runs scored in 21 at bats.

At 6-foot-3, 220 pounds, the powerful Voit was a first-team all-state backstop as a senior, hitting .486 with a .892 slugging percentage and .582 on-base figure to help Lafayette High to a 22-4 record. He was a 32nd round selection of Kansas City in the June draft.

Options at DH

The Bears’ will use the designated hitter position to gain favorable match-ups against opposing pitchers, with Voit, Modglin, and transfer Tyler Paxson (Jr., Toulon, Ill.) among the leading contenders.

A right-handed hitter and catcher by trade, Paxson spent two seasons at Black Hawk College in Moline, Ill., before joining the Bears.

He ranks in the top 40 in Illinois high school history in career RBIs (18th), doubles (33rd) and hits (39th).

The 2010 Schedule

The 2010 schedule features 25 home dates and 30 games away from Springfield, 22 contests against teams that qualified for the 2009 NCAA Tournament and four versus 2009 C o l l e g e Wo r l d S e r i e s participants.

“The schedule allows us to play strong opponents and highRPI teams,” Guttin stated. “You look at Georgia Tech, Southern Miss, renewing the home-andhome series with Kansas as well as the rest of the non-conference schedule, it’s going to be a good test.”

The MVC schedule is 21 Travis McComack started 44 games on the infield as a rookie, hitting .276 with 24 RBIs and seven steals in as many tries. games this season with UNI’s departure from the league, leaving 34 nonconference contests. NCAA teams from 2009 on the MSU schedule include Georgia Tech, Southern Miss, Wright State, Oklahoma State, Kansas, Oral Roberts, Missouri, Arkansas and Wichita State.

The Missouri Valley Conference Baseball Championship will be held May 25-29 in Wichita, Kan. All eight league schools will participate in two four-team, double-elimination pools. The winners of each will advance to a one game championship.

NCAA Baseball Championship in 64th Year The 64th annual NCAA Division I Baseball Championship will conclude with the NCAA College World Series. The event is held in Omaha, Neb., for the 61st time in its history.

For the 12th year, the tournament will continue with a highly-successful new format which was implemented in 1999. Another significant change to the format in 2003 occurred in the World Series’ final round. The championship round is now a best-of-three showdown involving the winners of each bracket in the CWS field.

The 64-team tournament field will again include 30 conferences whose champions (determined either by a league tournament or regular season play) automatically qualify for NCAA play, with the other 34 slots to be filled on an at-large basis. There are a total of 293 schools sponsoring Division I baseball in the NCAA. Following the conclusion of conference tournament play the last weekend in May, the NCAA Division I Baseball Committee will select and announce its 64-team field for the tourney.

The teams will go into 16 double-elimination regionals of four teams each, with the regionals to be held June 4-7 either at campus or neutral sites. The NCAA will announce the 64-team field May 31.

The 16 regional winners will advance to best-of-three Super Regionals at eight campus sites the weekend of June 11-14, with those

sites to be announced June 8. The Super Regional winners will advance to the 64th College World Series, held at Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, June 19-30. Missouri Valley Conference member Creighton University is the College World Series host.The eight teams in the CWS are divided into two doubleelimination pools of four schools each. Pool winners meet in the new best-of-three championship June 28-30. All CWS games are nationally televised on ESPN. Once the field of 64 teams is determined, the committee will select 16 teams each to receive regional seeds one, two, three and four. From the 16 No. 1 seeds, the committee will select the top eight national seeds and rank them, one through eight. The eight national seeds will be placed in separate regionals so they cannot meet before the first round of the College World Series, and the eight remaining No.1 regional seeds will be placed geographically in the 64-team bracket for potential Super Regional meetings with the eight national seeds. Teams from the same conference will not go into the same regional and teams from the same conference who are number one regional seeds cannot meet in the Super Regionals. The 64-team field will not be reseeded once the initial bracket is announced May 31.

Thirteen schools have represented the MVC in the NCAA Division I championship, including

Missouri State University

all nine current MVC baseball schools. Wichita State is the leader, having made 27 NCAA appearances since 1980, with six trips to the College World Series and an overall tourney record of 77-54. The Shockers won the NCAA championship in 1989 and were College World Series runners-up in 1991 and 1993.

Missouri State was the only Valley team until WSU in 2007 to advance to the Super Regionals and the only league school to advance to the CWS under the current 64-team format.

Southern Illinois is 39-30 in 14 NCAA visits, Indiana State is 8-14 in seven, Bradley is 3-12 in six, Creighton is 12-16 in eight, Missouri State is 13-15 in seven, Evansville is 5-6 in three, and Illinois State is 1-4 in two. Some NCAA appearances by current MVC members were made prior to their joining the conference.

Previous league members representing the MVC in NCAA play were UNI, Tulsa, Saint Louis, Oklahoma State, Houston and Cincinnati.

The MVC representative to the NCAA tournament will be the champion of the Valley tournament, May 25-29, in Wichita, Kan. All eight members of the league will participate in the postseason tournament this season. A pair of four-team, double-elimination pools will be formed, with the winners of each pool to meet in the winner-take-all championship game.

Keith Guttin, Head Baseball Coach

Beginning his 28th year of guiding the Missouri State baseball program, head coach Keith Guttin continues to build the Bears into one of the top programs, not just in the Missouri Valley Conference or Midwest, but in NCAA Division I. Under Guttin, the Bears are 938-573 (an average of 35 wins and 21 losses per season) and have won 62 percent of their games. Guttin has had eight 40-win seasons.

Missouri State returned to the top of The Valley in 2009, finishing the league schedule with a 17-5 record after sweeping Creighton and Indiana State in the final two weeks of the season. Both CU and ISU entered its series with MSU atop the MVC standings.

In 2003, MSU advanced to its first-ever NCAA Division I College World Series to cap a season in which the Bears won the MVC regular season title for the second time in three seasons. The Bears’ NCAA Tournament trip was the second straight NCAA trip and the sixth appearance in the past nine years. That year, Guttin garnered the American Baseball Coaches Association Midwest Region Coach of the Year award and his second MVC Coach of the Year honor in three seasons. It was his third conference honor since the Bears joined the Valley and it was Guttin’s ninth conference

24

Coach of the Year recognition in 23 years as a head coach.

In 2002, the Bears posted their first 40-win season since 1991 and won the secondmost games in school history and the most since winning a school record 47 games in 1987. Missouri State advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the fifth time in eight years but the first time since 1999.

In 2001, Guttin led the Bears to their firstever MVC regular season championship and, in the process, dethroned perennial league powerhouse Wichita State. The Shockers had previously won outright or shared the Valley regular season crown in the previous 14 years, but the Bears posted a 22-10 record in 2001 and beat WSU by one game in the final league standings.

While the accomplishments of Guttin’s teams on the field speak volumes about the success of his program, another dream came true in April 2004 when the Bears opened a sparkling 8,000-seat stadium just four blocks north of the Missouri State campus. The Bears finished the year ninth among NCAA Division I teams in attendance and that was playing only a portion of their home schedule at Hammons Field.

It’s just a coincidence that the crown jewel of the Missouri State baseball program came one year after the Bears exploded onto the national college baseball radar in the College World

Series. But both events show the growth of college baseball in the Ozarks and the amount of community and administrative support the program had received in the last several years.

Throughout those years, Guttin has been the face of Missouri State baseball.

A part of the MSU baseball program as a player, assistant coach and head coach for 32 of the program’s 46 years, Guttin took the helm of Bears baseball at the start of the 1983 season, coinciding with the move of Missouri State athletics to Division I status. He inherited the reins of the program from its only previous head baseball coach, former Missouri State Director of Athletics Bill Rowe.

Guttin stretched the str ing of MSU consecutive winning seasons to 32 in a row; easily the longest of any Missouri State athletics team. The Bears have finished in the top half of the conference race every year but three in the last 35 seasons.

Missouri State slipped to 10-11 in 1992, 1517 in 2000, 10-14 in 2005 and 7-17 in 2007 in the Bears’ only years in the past 35 seasons without a winning league record. The Bears have finished lower than third in the league standings just five times since Guttin took over.

Guttin directed Missouri State to six straight league titles in Mid-Continent play from 1984 through 1989. He gave MSU its first two Valley postseason tournament championships in

Bears Baseball

perfect in regular season league play. Missouri State capped the year with Guttin’s 300th win and left the Mid-Continent with the best overall, conference and league tourney marks.

In 1991, Missouri State joined the Valley, reaching the 40-win plateau and finishing fourth in its first Valley campaign. In 1993, the Bears finished second as Guttin was named MVC Coach of the Year.

The 1995 Bruins were second in the MVC Tournament and added an NCAA visit, playing in the West Regional in Fresno, Calif.

In 1996, Missouri State won its first MVC tourney, capped by Guttin’s 500th career win, an 8-7 victory over top-ranked Wichita State in the winner’s bracket final. Missouri State won its first NCAA Division I tourney games, beating Long Beach State and UCLA to finish third in the Central I Regional in Austin, Texas.

The 1997 Bears repeated the MVC crown and knocked off Texas Tech and Nevada on the way to a runner-up finish in the NCAA Central Regional in Lubbock, Texas. Missouri

Guttin returned to Missouri State in 1982 after a year at Rend Lake College where he served as assistant coach to Kirk Champion as RLC claimed an Illinois juco sectional crown.

Guttin was a Missouri State assistant under Rowe from 1979 to 1981, as Missouri State won its last MIAA title and made two NCAA appearances.

Guttin had two notable seasons as the Missouri State second baseman, coming from Mineral Area College. He earned MIAA all-conference honorable mention in 1977 as the Bears made their first NCAA Division II tournament appearance in seven years.

Missouri Valley Conference The Missouri Valley Conference enters its 103rd year at the start of the 2009-10 academic year, and the nation’s second-oldest NCAA Division I conference continues to be a leader in college athletics.

The Valley continues to lead by example as one of college athletics’ most progressive conferences. The Valley emphasizes the importance of the student-athlete and is aggressive in its approach to provide opportunities for its member institutions.

While the success of men’s basketball has received the greatest attention, the overall performance of league teams in virtually every sport continues to raise the national profile of the conference.

There were plenty of other milestones for The Valley in the athletic arena in 2008-09. For the second-straight year, the conference staged a neutral site women’s basketball tournament at the St. Charles Family Arena before good crowds, with Evansville earning the title and representing the league in the NCAA Tournament. Regular-season champ Illinois State reached the semifinals of the WNIT. In baseball, Wichita State again represented the league in the NCAA Tournament, and reached the regional final, falling to Washington State. Over the past three decades, the Shockers have made 26 NCAA Tournament trips, with seven CWS berths and a 1989 NCAA Championship to their credit.

In one of the closest results in league history, Wichita State earned the 2008-09 All-Sports crown, edging secondplace Illinois State by 0.06 points. The Shockers won a league-best four titles (women’s cross country, volleyball, men’s golf and women’s tennis), while placing in the top four in 12 of 15 sports in which they sponsor.

Based in St. Louis since 1985, the league is assertive in its approach to hosting NCAA basketball championship events, operating a revenue-producing in-house television network, bidding out the right to host sport championships and landing title sponsorships for those events.

The success of The Valley television package is one of the great stories in the league, in terms of the clearance of the men’s basketball tournament title game on national broadcast television, the excellent national and regional coverage for basketball and other sports, and the effective sale of advertising content to more than 25 companies.

The MVC Television Network has blossomed into a revenuegenerating vehicle and The Valley’s most visible marketing tool.

During the tenure of Doug Elgin, The Valley’s ninth and longest-tenured commissioner, The Valley has been aggressive in hosting NCAA events in St. Louis. This continuing involvement of the MVC in hosting NCAA events represents one of the most concentrated stretches of host opportunities for any university or conference in the 70-plus year history of the national championship tournament. In 2010, the Missouri Valley will host an NCAA men’s basketball regional, while The Valley has hosted three Final Fours this decade (women’s events in 2001 and 2009, and the Men’s Final Four in 2005). The league had previously hosted men’s regionals in 1998, 1999, 2004 and 2007; and a men’s first/second round event in 2002.

Additionally, Creighton and The Valley co-hosted a men’s basketball first and second round in 2008 in Omaha.

And while the Missouri Valley Conference has been progressive in pursuing NCAA events, it has continued to be a national leader in the athletic arena. And starting in 1995-96, the conference broke new ground by allowing league members to bid for hosting rights for select team sport championships. By establishing uniform host criteria, the conference is able to assist a host institution in a season-long promotional campaign and provide an avenue where hosts can acquire sponsors and achieve a profit for the event.

Meanwhile, the league has been progressive in other

areas, as it has taken its merchandise program in-house, while offering e-commerce solutions for league apparel, championship photography and a conference-wide videostreaming package.

The seeds for this vision were planted by eight administrators representing five institutions, who met at the Midland Hotel in Kansas City, Mo., on Jan. 12, 1907.

The five schools which formed the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association were Washington University of St. Louis, and the state universities of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. Two months after the initial meeting, two more schools -- Drake University and Iowa State College -- were admitted.

In the fall of 1907, basketball became the first competitive sport. Today, the Missouri Valley Conference sponsors the following sports: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country and track & field (indoor and outdoor), men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, women’s swimming and diving, men’s and women’s tennis, and women’s volleyball.

This season, the league will conduct its 99th outdoor track and field championship, its 92nd tennis championship, its 56th baseball tournament, and its 72nd golf championship for the men. Those programs, plus other current sponsored sports of cross country (51 years), indoor track (43), soccer (19) and swimming and diving (16), have helped solidify the Missouri Valley Conference as one of the most respected conferences nationally. Athletic accomplishments on the men’s athletics side include 10 national basketball championships, 16 trips to the NCAA Final Four, a 1989 national baseball championship and 19 College World Series qualifiers. In 2001, Missouri State added to The Valley women’s accomplishments, as the Lady Bears advanced to the Women’s Basketball Final Four in St. Louis. Creighton (2004) and Missouri State (2005) have claimed national championships (WNIT) in women’s basketball, while MSU also has a 1992 NCAA Women’s Final Four appearance, and Creighton (2003), Drake (1999) and Illinois State (2009) have made semifinal trips to the WNIT postseason tournament.

Indeed, the inclusion of women’s programs under The Valley banner has provided a boost. The Gateway Collegiate Athletic Conference -- which began in 1982 -- merged with the Missouri Valley Conference and was unveiled as part of the new conference on July 1, 1992.

And while the inclusion of women’s sports under a comprehensive athletic umbrella is a recent development in the league’s storied history, over the years, Valley student-athletes and coaches have become household names during the league’s illustrious history, both during their collegiate careers and, for some, professional careers.

In fact, The Valley began honoring that tradition in the summer of 1997, when the conference began its athletics Hall of Fame. Hersey Hawkins of Bradley, Larry Bird of Indiana State, Wes Unseld of Louisville, Coach Henry Iba of Oklahoma State, Dave Stallworth of Wichita State, Ed Macauley of Saint Louis, and Oscar Robertson of Cincinnati were members of the initial induction class. Currently, nearly 40 former players, coaches and alums dot the league’s Hall of Fame.

From its early beginning to its current standing on the map of college athletics, The Valley will always continue to be proactive in its approach.

League members include Bradley, Creighton, Drake, Evansville, Illinois State, Indiana State, Missouri State, Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois, and Wichita State. Eastern Illinois is an affiliate member in men’s soccer, while Central Arkansas and Southern Illinois-Edwardsville begin affiliate men’s soccer membership in 2010.

The University’s identity is distinguished by its statewide mission in public affairs, requiring a campus-wide commitment to foster competence and responsibility in the common vocation of citizenship.

The academic experience is grounded in a general education curriculum which draws heavily from the liberal arts and sciences.

This foundation provides the basis for mastery of disciplinary and professional studies. It also provides essential forums in which students develop the capacity to make well-informed, independent critical judgments about the cultures, values, and institutions in society.

The task of developing educated persons obligates the University to expand the store of human understanding through research, scholarship and creative endeavor, and drawing from that store of understanding, to provide service to the communities that support it. In all of its programs, the University uses the most effective methods of discovering and imparting knowledge and the appropriate use of technology in support of these activities.

The University functions through a multicampus system that is integrated to address the needs of its constituents.

Kyle

Moats Director of Athletics First Year at Missouri State

Missouri State University’s search for its new director of athletics concluded May 28, 2009, with the introduction of Kyle Moats as the University’s 10th A.D. Moats came to the University after serving as associate athletics director for national marketing at the University of Louisville since 2005.

Moats began his duties at Missouri State on July 1, replacing Bill Rowe, who retired after spending 27 years as Missouri State’s top athletics administrator and more than a half century at the university as a student, coach and administrator.

“I am very pleased to have Kyle Moats as our new director of athletics,” said Missouri State President Michael T. Nietzel. “Kyle impressed all of us with his broad knowledge, wide range of experience, and vision for the future. He certainly has the studentathlete at the top of his priority list, and he understands how athletics should fit into the culture of a university. Following Bill Rowe, Kyle has big shoes to fill and he knows it. But I am confident Kyle will do an outstanding job for many years to come. All of us are excited to get started.”

Moats spent four years as associate athletics director for national marketing at Louisville. In that capacity, he coordinated the Cardinals’ efforts in national awareness, marketing, branding and group ticket sales. He also worked closely with Nelligan Sports Marketing, which manages the exclusive marketing rights for Cardinal Athletics. Moats oversaw the Louisville band and spirit squads as the liaison with student government and student spirit groups.

Prior to joining the Louisville staff, Moats served as senior associate athletic director for two years (2004-05) at Marquette University, where oversaw the Golden Eagles’ Blue and Gold Fund, media relations, ticket operations, special events, licensing, radio, television, marketing and promotions and sponsorships with NSM, which holds the marketing rights for several BIG EAST Conference schools.

He also worked 14 years in the University of Kentucky athletics department, including his last three there as associate athletics director for marketing (2000-02).

Moats joined the UK staff as a graduate assistant in the athletics office in 1989, and in 1991 was promoted to coordinator of promotions and special events. He became the Wildcats’ director of marketing, promotions and licensing in 1993 before being named assistant athletics director for marketing in 1996. He served as tournament manager for the 1993 NCAA Golf Championships and the 1996 and 1998 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament events in Lexington.

A native of Dixon, Ill., Moats is a 1988 graduate of Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville with a bachelor’s degree in physical education. While at SIUE, Moats was a three-year letterwinner in golf and was a student assistant basketball coach for the Cougars from 1985-1988. He earned a master’s degree in sports management from the University of Kentucky in 2001.

Moats and his wife Leeann have two children, Kirk (19) and Lauren (15).

The Bears Fund The Bears Fund is the annual fund-raising program for Missouri State intercollegiate athletics that was established in 1981 in conjunction with the move of MSU athletics to NCAA Division I status.

The fund’s name stands for “Building Excellence in Athletics through Recruiting and Scholarships,” and the fund has grown substantially throughout the 26 years of its existence.

The 2008-09 drive netted over $2.98 million, marking the 21st year in a row in which total contributions to The Bears Fund have gone beyond $1 million.

The fund is administered by the Missouri State University Foundation with additional input from coaching and administrative staff members in intercollegiate athletics.

Contributors of $50 or more during each year are recognized as members at various giving levels in The Bears Fund, and, as such, receive benefits within the athletic program, including game program recognition, online athletics newsletter, and parking and postseason ticket considerations.

Bears Fund gifts may be earmarked for specific sports or general use and the money is used to enhance MSU athletics, particularly in the areas of scholarships and recruiting.

Contributions may be cash, gifts in kind of goods or services, matching gifts from employers, bequests or life income trusts and honorary or memorial gifts.

An additional fund-raising event that’s a popular late-summer social event for MSU fans is the Missouri State Auction Benefiting Athletics. Held in late August for each of the past 21 years, the auction has generated additional income for athletic uses with an evening of food, fun and entertainment.

Individuals and businesses donate goods or services for sale at the auction, and the income derived from that sale goes to intercollegiate athletics. Items available for purchase at the auction since it began in 1987 have included automobiles, a thoroughbred racehorse, country club memberships, advertising packages, travel opportunities including road trips with MSU athletic teams, furs, jewelry, sports memorabilia, and unique items such as the chance to join MSU coaches on the sidelines during varsity contests. Fourteen of the last 15 auctions have netted more than $100,000 for MSU athletics, and the 2006 auction set a record by raising more than $150,000.

2009 Bears Season Review

Bears Win MVC Title, But Left on Wrong Side of NCAA Bubble With a roster loaded with talent, the goals entering the 2009 Missouri State baseball season were simple enough: win the Missouri Valley Conference and go to the NCAA Tournament. After a 4-10 start, the Bears rebounded to go 30-10 over the season’s final 40 games, winning a league title and putting themselves in position for that coveted NCAA berth.

While the team had the credentials, the NCAA selection committee felt otherwise and left the Bears on the outside looking in for a second year in a row.

The Bears finished 34-20 overall and had two AllAmericans, seven all-conference players and six draft picks in a season that will be remembered for a great 10-week stretch and numerous individuals adding to Bears’ baseball history.

SLOW START DOOMS THE BEARS High expectations entering the year didn’t transfer into results the first weekend as the Bears traveled to Middle Tennessee and were swept in three games by the high-powered Blue Raiders. Missouri State committed nine errors in the series, a theme that plagued the team for three weeks on the way to a disappointing 4-10 start that saw the Bears commit 36 errors and allow 39 unearned runs over 14 contests.

In fact, the winless drought continued into the second week with a 14-12 loss to Nebraska before the Bears put things together in pounding St. Mary’s 17-3 behind Ben Carlson’s seven RBIs for the first win of the year. A six-error game later that same day led to a 15-11 loss to Sam Houston State, and a short night followed as the Bears had a 10 a.m. game against Nebraska the next morning.

Buddy Baumann made his first start of the year against the Huskers, surrendering a single over five scoreless innings to set the tone in a 3-2 win.

Back-to-back home losses to Central Arkansas in 10 innings and North Dakota, allowing six runs (one earned) in the ninth, sent the team reeling to a 2-7 record. The Bears easily handled UND the next two games, but South Dakota State came into town and swept a midweek series with some help from the Bears’ defense. The next day, the Bears boarded a plane to Portland, Ore., for a tough series with 23rd-ranked Oregon State. MSU’s fortunes would change at PGE Park, but not before an 8-7 loss to the Beavers in which the Bears allowed only two earned runs.

THE WINS START COMING The Bears faced an uphill battle against a sound Oregon State team, but turned to Baumann to get out of the slump. The southpaw delivered with six scoreless innings before rain delayed what had the makings of a season-changing win to the next day.

Aaron Meade, already scheduled to start Sunday’s contest against OSU, took the hill for the final three innings of Saturday’s resumption and saved a 5-3 win before throwing the first six innings of the Bears’ 4-2 win in the series’ final game. Jon Barnes struck out the Beavers’ cleanup hitter with the bases loaded in the ninth for the save.

Missouri State brought the momentum gained in Oregon back to Hammons Field and stretched its winning streak to seven games with two wins over Southeast Missouri State (13-2 and 16-3) and an MVC sweep of Bradley by scores of 8-3, 15-3 and 9-2. The final win over BU put the Bears above the

The MCC champ did not get an automatic NCAA berth. +MSU results in MCC Championships: 1984: MSU lost to Eastern Illinois, beat Cleveland State, Illinois-Chicago, Western Illinois, Eastern Illinois and Northern Iowa twice; MSU champion 1985: MSU beat Valparaiso, beat Eastern Illinois twice; MSU champion 1986: MSU beat Illinois-Chicago, beat Western Illinois University twice; MSU champion 1987: MSU beat Valparaiso, beat Eastern Illinois twice; MSU champion 1988: MSU beat Illinois-Chicago, beat Eastern Illinois, lost to Eastern Illinois, beat Eastern Illinois; MSU champion 1989: MSU beat Illinois-Chicago, beat Cleveland State, lost to Eastern Illinois, beat Eastern Illinois; MSU champion 1990: MSU beat Akron, lost to Illinois-Chicago, beat Eastern Illinois, lost to Illinois-Chicago; finished second; Illinois-Chicago champion MSU joined the Missouri Valley Conference in 1990 and first played in the MVC tournament in 1991. The MVC tourney is a double elimination event which has, in some years, involved all of the league’s baseball schools. Beginning in 1992, only the top six teams in the final regular season standings have advanced to the league meet. The tourney champ receives the MVC’s automatic berth to the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship. Since the Bears joined the league, the tournament has been held in Wichita, Kan. (1991-1994 and 1996-1997, 1999-2003, 2005-06, 2008-09), Springfield, Mo. (2004, 2007), Springfield, Ill. (1995) and Evansville, Ind. (1998).

Missouri State NCAA Tournament Results After 19 years in the NCAA Division II ranks which included seven appearances in the Division II tournament and four trips to the Division II World Series, MSU moved to Division I in 1983.

MSU hosted the first four D-II World Series at Meador Park. The Bears played in two of those events, finishing as the national runner-up in 1969 and third in 1970. MSU won regional tournament titles and went to the Division II World Series in 1978 in Springfield, Ill., and in 1982 at Riverside, Calif.

In 1987, the Bears made their first appearance in the NCAA Division I tournament at Tempe, Ariz., and in 2003 advanced to the Division I College World Series for the first time in school history.

MSU had three straight NCAA visits in 1995, 1996 and 1997, competing in regionals at Fresno, Calif., Austin, Texas and Lubbock, Texas. After a one-year absence from postseason play, MSU returned to NCAA play in the 1999 Fayetteville (Ark.) Regional.

In 2002, MSU made the regional tournament with a trip to Lincoln, Neb. The Bears returned to Lincoln in 2003 and won the regional before sweeping the Columbus Super Regional over Ohio State.

The Bears were winless in their 1987 and 1995 NCAA outings but claimed two wins and played on the final day in each of the four subsequent regionals, finishing third in regional play in 1996 and second in the 1997, 1999 and 2002 regional fields. In 2003, MSU was 3-1 at the Lincoln Regional, 2-0 at the Columbus Super Regional and 0-2 in the CWS in Omaha, Neb.

#22 Bill Rowe On Saturday, May 8, 2004, former head baseball coach and director of athletics Bill Rowe became the first person in the 46-year history of the MSU baseball program to have his number retired.

Rowe guided the baseball Bears as head coach for 19 years from the start of the program in 1964 through its final season in NCAA Division II in 1982. He led the Bears to a 394230-1 record and four Division II College World Series appearances.

Under Rowe, the Bears finished as national runners-up in 1969 and finished third nationally in 1970 (just the sixth and seventh years of the program).

As Athletic Director, Rowe guided the Bears from Division II to Division I and saw the Bears change leagues from the MIAA and Mid-Continent Conferences to a current membership in the Missouri Valley Conference.

The retirement ceremony for Rowe’s jersey was held prior to the Bears’ doubleheader against Illinois State.

The indoor practice facility at Hammons Field also bears Rowe’s name as of January 30, 2010.
