ROSTER MLB & ALL-STARS PREVIEW COACHES
In 2009, Pacific welcomes back 20 returning letterwinners as Head Coach Ed Sprague enters his sixth season with a new coaching staff. During the summer of 2008, Sprague brought aboard Don Barbara, Mike McCormick and Chris McCormack to his staff after the three worked together at Sacramento State. Barbara is especially familiar with the Big West Conference, as he spent seven years as an assistant coach at Long Beach State (1997-99, 2001-04). For the second straight season, Sprague has Wes Yourth as his director of baseball operations. Rounding out his staff, Sprague will be joined by Noah St. Urbain as an undergraduate assistant coach, after Noah spent three of his four collegiate years with the Tigers (2005, 2007, 2008). Of the 20 returners, the Tigers have eight seniors, six juniors and six sophomores. New to the roster this year are four junior transfers and seven freshmen. “I think the biggest thing for us is that we have several seniors who will see some significant playing time. The season depends on how well those guys execute,” Sprague said. “They know the style of Big West play pretty well. It really boils down to them going out, using their experience and playing good baseball.” PITCHING Expected to split the role of the staff ace this season will be seniors LHP Joey Centanni (San Diego, Calif.) and RHP Cole Akins (Seattle, Wash.). Centanni’s 4.97 ERA was the team’s second best in 2008, and he logged the fourth-most innings pitched with 41.2. Akins just topped Centanni with 49.1 innings in 2008. Sprague said that Centanni will take the hill Friday nights for Pacific, followed by Akins on Saturday and junior RHP Hunter Carnevale (Roseville, Calif.) will close out the series as the Sunday starter. Senior RHP Mark McCain (Dallas, Texas) has proven that he can withstand many innings a week and will most likely be Pacific’s mid-week starter, while coming out of the bullpen in relief during weekend series. McCain recorded 17 appearances last season, with the team’s second-most innings pitched at 84.1 Among other relievers who will see some time this season are junior RHP Andrew Mintun (Stockton, Calif.), senior RHP Larry Holscher (McArthur, Calif.), junior LHP Jamie Niley (Elk Grove, Calif.) and junior LHP David Rowse (Pleasanton, Calif.). Mintun led the team last year with a 3.60 ERA and posted a 2-0 record in relief while holding opposing batters to a .184 average.
As for the closer, Sprague can rely on sophomore RHP Thomas Berolzheimer (Stockton, Calif.), who found success dabbling in that role as a freshman last season. Berolzheimer will again have the opportunity to come into his own as a closer and will be given the ball for Pacific in save situations this year. “Thomas Berolzheimer has done very well. He’s a guy who throws a lot of strikes,” Sprague said. “He can hold runners, he fields his position very well, he’s got a good out pitch and had a good strikeout per inning ratio last year.” CATCHING Entering the new season as a 2008 All-Big West Conference Honorable Mention recipient, senior Joe Oliveira (San Diego, Calif.) will lead Pacific’s battery as the starting catcher in 2009. Oliveira recorded a .968 fielding percentage last season with 248 putouts from behind the plate. In conference, Joe finished third in the Big West for runners caught stealing at 22. Offensively on the basepaths, Oliveira led Pacific with 24 stolen bases in 28 attempts. He will be looked upon to do the job in 2009 and will also be a main component in the batter’s box, as his .271 batting average was the Tigers’ sixth-best last year. “We’re fortunate we’re returning a three-year starter in Joe Oliveira. He’s been a two-time All-Big West Player, last year he was honorable mention and two years ago he was a first-team player,” Sprague said. “Joe’s a tremendous defensive catcher. He’s a good catch and throw guy, he threw 64 percent out last year. This year, offensively he’ll be much improved from last year. He brings a good deal of speed too.” McCormick will be working all season with additional options behind the plate as senior Kurt Wideman (Fallbrook, Calif.) and freshman Derek Baum (San Diego, Calif.) will also see time in catcher’s gear. The Tigers have versatility and a range of options in whoever they put in the field. Oliveira manned the outfield last season when Wideman stepped behind the plate in 2008. Similarly, when Oliveira donned the catcher’s gear, Wideman logged time fielding the first, second and third base positions. Wideman is a natural defensive option for the Tigers as his 199 putouts last season rank second only behind Oliveira’s 248.

INFIELD Returning to lead the infield are sophomore J.B. Brown (Alvin, Texas) and junior Mike Walker (Marysville, Calif.). While Brown proved he had the range to serve as an infield utility player last year, he will have the opportunity to develop his career strictly as a second baseman this season. At second, the Tigers have a back-up option in freshman Josh Simms (La Mesa, Calif.). Walker has locked up third base for 2009, after spending some time there last season. He furthered his cause with strong offensive numbers that put him in a position to start this season. Walker posted a .293 average in 44 games for the Tigers last season.
That leaves senior Mike McKeever (San Diego, Calif.) as Pacific’s starting right fielder in 2009. McKeever’s .311 batting average was the third-highest on the team in 2008, and he led all players with a .518 slugging percentage. When he’s not in, the Tigers can go to freshman Alan Riley (Fresno, Calif.) for another arm in the outfield.
According to Boyd’s World, Pacific’s overall schedule is the 11th strongest of all Division I schools across the nation. Discounting Big West Conference matchups, the Tigers’ non-conference strength of schedule is ninth in the country.

Big West Conference play begins from the familiar confines of Klein Family Field when Pacific hosts UC Davis from Mar. 27-29, starting at 5:35 p.m. Finally, the Tigers close out regulation play against Cal State Bakersfield in its first year of baseball competition. The Roadrunners will take turns filling in the odd-man-out slot in the nine-team Big West Conference throughout conference play during the second half of season, concluding with three games at Pacific from May 22-24. In 2009 the Tigers have a great deal of experience and versatility to rely on and Sprague will look to that talent to be competitive against his topranked schedule. “My expectation is that we use the expereince that we have and maintain our confidence level no matter what happens the first couple of weekends,” Sprague said. “It’s a long year and I think we’re a more improved team than we have been in the last couple of years. We’re a closer knit crew, so hopefully we can continue to play that out as the season goes on.”

SCHEDULE As in past years, Sprague has again compiled an extremely competitive schedule for the 2009 season.
The Tigers play host to 26 games at Klein Family Field this year and compete in 55 overall contests in 2009. Pacific’s home schedule begins on Tuesday, Feb. 24 against Sacramento State under the lights at 5:35 p.m.

“We have more interchangeable parts this year than we’ve had in the past,” Sprague said. “We got some guys who can play infield and outfield, which is nice.”
“I think the conference has gotten stronger and stronger every year. I think that’s come from the middle-of-the-pack teams, not necessarily the top teams,” Sprague said. “The middle of the pack has raised the conference level up quite a bit, so it’s a challenging schedule. Anybody can beat anybody on a given day of the week, and I think everybody knows that.”
2008 IN REVIEW
Off the bench, Sprague can call on freshmen Kyle Dodge (Sonora, Calif.) and Ronnie Burton Jr. (Colorado Springs, Colo.) to take to the outfield this season. Both freshmen had impressive senior seasons at their respective high schools in 2008, and will serve as valuable replacements both in the field and on offense. Dodge hit .436 as a senior at Sonora High School, while Burton was only the third person in Air Academy High School history to surpass the .600 batting average mark in a single season. Additionally, Burton holds single season records for hits (49) and RBI (49), which he set in 2008.
The Collegiate Baseball NCAA Division I Pre-Season Baseball Poll released the top 40 Division I teams in December 2008 and lists No. 30 UC Santa Barbara and No. 39 California in addition to Baseball America’s selections.
2009 SEASON
Longmire will be joined by Centanni in center field, who is slated to start on days when he is not pitching. On Fridays, if Centanni is on the mound for Pacific, Sprague will fill in center field with either junior Matt Fuson (Lodi, Calif.) or freshman Brett Christopher (Livermore, Calif). Nick Longmire also has the range to slide over to fill in the gap at center from time-to-time.
Baseball America’s Pre-season Top 25 list includes five of Pacific’s 2009 opponents, with the highest-ranked being conference foe, No. 5 Cal State Fullerton. The Tigers will open the season on the road at No. 8 Baylor. Other ranked schools in Pacific’s 2009 schedule include No. 9 UC Irvine, No. 11 San Diego and No. 14 Stanford.
PLAYERS
OUTFIELD Headlining the outfield for Pacific in 2009 will be 2008 Louisville Slugger Freshman All-America and All-Big West Conference Honorable Mention Nick Longmire (San Diego, Calif.) in left field. Longmire led the Tigers in three categories last year: overall batting average (.323), triples (three) and RBI (31) and on defense did not have an error in 54 Big West chances.
“I think it’s got a good balance. It’s certainly very difficult,” Sprague said about the strength of schedule this year. “It’s always a challenging schedule, but hopefully with our experience we’ll be able to handle it a little better this year.”
COACHES
The Tigers’ infield will see another junior transfer as Niley will serve as the go-to first baseman when he’s not pitching out of the ‘pen. After two years at Cosumnes River College, Niley rightfully laid claim to a First Team All-Big 8 Conference award, when he hit .338, with a .613 slugging percentage, 41 runs, 54 hits, 38 RBI, 14 doubles, three triples and eight home runs.
PREVIEW
As for the rest of the infield, fans can expect to see several new faces in 2009. After a successful fall campaign, junior transfer Ben Gorang (Turlock, Calif.) has solidified his place as the infield’s anchor in the shortstop position this season. The starting shortstop at Merced College in 2008, Gorang was named first team all-league in the Central Valley Conference last season. As another middle infield option, Sprague can call on junior transfer Scott Isbell (Carlsbad, Calif.) to field the shortstop position. Prior to coming to Pacific, Isbell served as San Diego City College’s shortstop, hitting .260 with two home runs, 25 runs and 10 stolen bases. “Ben Gorang has won that job pretty much outright, and Scott Isbell will also see some time there as a back-up, but Gorang has come in as a junior college transfer from Merced and has done very well defensively.”

• Oversaw fundraising for construction of Pacific’s first oncampus facility, Klein Family Field, since 1951 • Guided Pacific to first back-to-back 30-win seasons (2005 & 2006) Head coach Ed Sprague enters his sixth season at the helm of the Pacific Baseball program in the spring of 2009. He has a combined 110-171 record in his first five seasons with the Tigers, highlighted by the first back-to-back 30-win seasons in school history as the Tigers finished 2006 at 30-25, after posting a 30-28 mark in 2005. In addition to his coaching efforts, Sprague’s biggest accomplishment at Pacific has been spearheading a campaign to build an on-campus home field. That vision became a reality on Oct. 15, 2004, as the Tigers officially broke ground on Klein Family Field, the Tigers’ new on-campus stadium. The stadium officially became the new home of the Pacific Tigers on April 18, 2006, as Pacific defeated Nevada, 8-3, in the inaugural game. Sprague’s 110 career victories have him in fourth place in Tiger history for most coaching victories. Meanwhile, his winning percentage (.391) is 10th among Pacific’s 16 head coaches. Between the lines, Sprague’s arrival brought a championship pedigree to Pacific Baseball as he was the starting third baseman on the 1987 and 1988 NCAA Championship teams at Stanford. He finished his career among the school’s all-time leaders in home runs (2nd with 41) and RBI (4th with 178). A 1988 All-American, he hit .339 with 22 home runs and 81 RBI. He was also a two-time All Pac-10 Conference selection in 1987 and 1988. For his accomplishments, Ed was a 2002 inductee into the Stanford Athletic Hall of Fame. In the summer of 1988, Sprague collected another championship as he won a Gold Medal with USA Baseball in the Summer Olympics. Following his collegiate career, Ed was selected in the first round of the 1988 draft by the Toronto Blue Jays. He made it to the Major Leagues in 1991 with

Don Barbara comes to Pacific after three seasons as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Sacramento State (2004-2007). Don served as the Hornets’ hitting coach, infield coach, third base coach and recruiting coordinator. Before his tenure at Sacramento State, Don spent seven years as an assistant coach at Long Beach State (1997-99, 2001-04). Barbara’s instruction at the plate paid immediate and long lasting dividends for the Hornets as the Sacramento State team batting average increased from .251 prior to his arrival to .289 in 2006, .280 in 2007 and .311 in 2008. Barbara’s tutelage also impacted the Hornets’ defense, helping the team fielding percentage improve from .960 in 2005 to .964 in 2006, .968 in 2007 and finally to .970 in 2008. The .970 field percentage posted in 2008 tied a Sacramento State record for the highest fielding percentage in school history.

At Long Beach State, Barbara helped lead the Dirtbags to six regional NCAA appearances in his seven seasons, including a trip to the College World Series in 1998. Serving mainly as the hitting and third base coach while at Long Beach State, Barbara also instructed first basemen and outfielders while assisting with all aspects of recruiting. Barbara’s playing days are just as decorated as his coaching resume. A member of the Long Beach State Hall of Fame, Don was one of the original Long Beach State Dirtbags on the 1989 team that played on an all dirt infield and earned a trip to the College World Series. An AllAmerican first baseman for two seasons, Barbara was selected as the Big West Conference Player of the Year and Division I Hitter of the Year in 1990 after batting .474 with 102 hits, 69 runs and 27 doubles. In January of 2007, Barbara was voted to Long Beach State’s all-time greats list, comprised of the program’s top 30 players from 1954-2006. He was the fourth leading vote getter, behind Jered Weaver, Jason Giambi and Bobby Crosby. After leaving Long Beach State via the draft, Barbara spent six seasons (1990-1996) in professional baseball. He was drafted in the 24th round by the then-California Angels. He reached as high as Triple-A for the Angels in 1992 and also played for the Triple-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers (1993), the Los Angeles Dodgers (1994) and the Boston Red Sox (1995). In 1994, Barbara batted .352 for the Pacific Coast Champion Albuquerque Dukes. Barbara completed his undergraduate degree in kinesiology from Long Beach State in 2001. Don and his wife, Corrie, have been married for nine years and have two children, Madison (9) and McKenzie (7).

PREVIEW
2007 (Sophomore): One of the Tigers’ most promising pitchers entering the 2007 season, Joey was limited by an injured labrum in his left shoulder. Centanni appeared in just six games on the mound, posting an 0-5 record and a team-leading 4.32 ERA. Although the injury prevented Centanni from pitching, Joey found other ways to contribute to the Tigers as he made his offensive debut during his sophomore campaign. Joey appeared in 26 games at the plate, posting a .303 batting average with 23 hits, 11 runs scored and 10 RBI. Centanni finished tied for the team lead with five stolen bases. Centanni played his first handful of games in the outfield, but the injured labrum forced Joey to serve only as a DH. Centanni was finally shutdown entirely on Apr. 1.
MLB & ALL-STARS
2008 (Junior): Centanni’s injured labrum from 2007 continued to sit him out during the beginning and end of his junior season, but throughout the middle part of the year he served almost entirely as a starting pitcher for the Tigers. He did not make his season debut until Mar. 24, but after a four inning performance with only three hits and one earned run allowed, Joey proved he was worthy of a starting role. Though he only played in nine games last season, Centanni finished fourth on the year with 41.2 innings pitched, and his 4.97 ERA was the second-lowest on the team. On April 20 against Cal State Fullerton, Joey nearly tossed a complete game, going eight innings deep with two earned runs and four strikeouts in the 2-1 loss. He followed that appearance up with another solid outing, pitching six innings at Long Beach State on April 27, despite the Tigers dropping a 7-6 decision.

Left to Right: Wes Yourth, Thomas Berolzheimer, Hunter Carnevale and Joey Centanni
In honor of 2008 Red Ribbon Week, Director of Baseball Operations Wes Yourth and pitchers Joey Centanni, Hunter Carnevale and Thomas Berolzheimer were invited to Great Valley Elementary School to talk about substance abuse on Oct. 17. During two assemblies of 1,000 students held at the Great Valley gymnasium, the Tigers held skills camps, gave away baseballs and signed autographs. The first assembly consisted of around 600 K-5 students, while the second assembly consisted of 400 sixth to eighth graders.
questions and really get a good perspective on something they might want to do later in life.” Gregory Berry, a fourth grade teacher at Great Valley Elementary, called Yourth and invited him to come out with a couple of players this year, as the teacher before him held the same assembly several years prior. Red Ribbon Week is an annual campaign aimed at alcohol, tobacco and other drug prevention awareness and runs from Oct. 23-31.
Yourth introduced his players to the assembly and initiated a talk about drug use and then opened up to the baseball players to interact with the children. The students had the opportunity to attend throwing, hitting and running stations and received demonstrations from the Division I athletes. “I really enjoyed it, anything with teammates helping out the community and hanging out with the kids is great,” said Centanni. After the segment on drugs and alcohol, the athletes spoke about the importance of attending college and how to play sports at the collegiate level. “I think they really enjoyed it,” Centanni said. “Everybody would raise their hands and answer our

Junior lefty David Rowse spent his 2008 summer break in the Arctic Circle in the Alaska Collegiate League with the Mat-su Miners. During a double-header against the Anchorage Bucs on Jul. 30, Rowse led the way to a 4-0 first-game victory with eight shutout innings, allowing four hits and only six runners, five of which never made it past first base. For his consistent work all summer long, he earned the nickname of the “Crafty Lefty” from his coach Conor Bird. Two Tigers saw international playing time in the Western Baseball League of Saskatchewan, Canada. Sophomore outfielder Nick Longmire and sophomore righthanded pitcher Thomas Berolzheimer put on red jerseys for the Yorkton Cardinals. Longmire played in nearly every game of the 2008 season and led all batters with a .323 batting average in 198 at-bats. Berolzheimer led the Tigers with 25 appearances last summer.

Wideman finished his summer with a .304 batting average, 24 hits, six doubles and 14 RBI. From the mound, Kohnke posted a 2.93 ERA in 10 appearances, averaging one strikeout per each of his 30 innings of work.
RECORD BOOK
From there the Yankees turned in a six-game winning streak from Aug. 6 to Aug. 12, defeating their first two opponents by 10 runs or more. However, the Yankees could not continue their late-tournament run and fell, 12-2, to the Havasu Heat for a seventh-place finish in the 44-team tournament.
2008 IN REVIEW
Senior catcher Kurt Wideman and sophomore righty Corey Kohnke spent their summer playing for the Maxim Yankees of the California Collegiate League.

The remaining six Tigers stayed relatively close to home in various leagues throughout California. Representing the Sierra Baseball League were four players from both the Lodi Grape Sox, coached by Wes Yourth, and the Humboldt Crabs rosters. Junior hurler Hunter Carnevale was the only Tiger to play in Humboldt last summer. Over 17 appearances he appeared in 38.2 innings. Junior outfielder Matt Fuson, senior pitcher Larry Holscher and senior righthander Mark McCain rounded out Pacific’s Sierra Baseball League players with the Grape Sox. Fuson went one-for-two at the plate during the All-Star game in which his team, the North, fell to the South 7-5.
COACHES
In the Pacific International League, senior pitcher Cole Akins landed a starting role early on for the Everett Merchants and did not disappoint, especially with his consistent dominance over one of the top 10 teams in the National Baseball Congress, the Seattle Studs. While the Merchants just missed out on the National Baseball Congress World Series, Akins was so talented and valued as a pitcher in the league that the Amarillo Outlaws from Texas picked up the righty to play in the post-season tournament. Akins only had three days’ rest in between starts and turned in a complete game effort with only four hits against the Wichita Sluggers for an 11-1 victory on Aug. 3. In that game, Cole pitched eight innings, allowed only one run and struck out 10 batters. He followed that up with a 7.1 inning appearance against the LA Rockies, giving up two earned runs and striking out 10 more to receive a no-decision in the Merchants’ 12-6 loss on Aug. 7.
PREVIEW
Four Tigers played for the McKinney Marshals in the Texas Collegiate League. Senior catcher Joe Oliveira, sophomore third baseman J.B. Brown, junior utility infielder Mike Walker and senior southpaw Joey Centanni spent their summer together in the Texas heat. In his last appearance of the summer during a game terminated early due to rain on Aug. 3, Brown came up in the top of the fourth with the bases loaded and singled to put the Marshals on the board over the Brazos Valley Bombers. Two back-to-back walks in that inning completed the inning, putting McKinney up 3-0 before the game was called. Cole Akins Before that appearance, Brown launched two homers and drove in three runs in the Marshals’ 6-5 loss to the Coppell Copperheads on Jul. 25. His teammate Centanni was an integral part of Marshal relief pitching. In back-to-back appearances on Jul. 20 and 26, Joey was one of three pitchers to preserve a 5-1 victory over the Bombers and then was one of four to maintain a pitching gem with a 6-0 shutout against Brazos Valley.

July 1, 1969 - The desire to form a Division I football conference sparks the formation of the Pacific Coast Athletic Association (PCAA) with seven charter members: Fresno State, Long Beach State, San Jose State, UC Santa Barbara, Pacific, Cal State Los Angeles and San Diego State. The conference sponsors 11 men’s sports: baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, gymnastics, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field, water polo and wrestling. J. Kenneth Fagans is named commissioner on a part-time basis. June 3, 1976 - The conference approves the split of the PCAA baseball league into two leagues separate from the PCAA. The Southern California Baseball Association (SCBA) and the Northern California Baseball Association (NCBA) consist mostly of members of the PCAA and the West Coast Athletic Conference. PCAA Commissioner Jesse Hill agrees to govern the SCBA. June 8, 1979 - SCBA member Cal State Fullerton wins the NCAA Baseball Championship with a 2-1 victory over Arkansas. May 17, 1984 - The conference council approves the reformation of PCAA baseball for the 1985 season, thus eliminating the SCBA and the NCBA.

2008 IN REVIEW
The Big West boasts a sizable number of alumni who have moved on to baseball’s highest level and are contributing to the successes of their respective teams. Some of the Big West’s more prominent alumni wearing major league uniforms include 2000 American League Most Valuable Player Jason Giambi (Long Beach State), 2001 National League All-Star Phil Nevin (Cal State Fullerton) and 2004 American League Rookie of the Year Bobby Crosby (LBSU). Other notable major leaguers who honed their skills in the Big West are Jered Weaver (LBSU), Mark Kotsay (CSF), Brady Anderson (UCI), Michael Young (UCSB), Barry Zito (UCSB), Troy Tulowitzki (LBSU) and Reed Johnson (CSF). The list goes on and on, and the supply does not appear to be in danger of shortage. The Big West produces an annual bumper crop of players in the MLB amateur draft that ranks the conference among the highest represented in the nation. The Big West had a league record 50 players selected in the two-day Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft with Long Beach State’s Shane Peterson being the conference’s first player taken, 59th pick in the second round by the St. Louis Cardinals. The league opened the first day with 12 players drafted and followed that up with 38 nabbed in the final day of the 2008 MLB draft. Peterson, Big West’s Co-Player of the Year, was the first of 11 49ers drafted to pace the league. Cal Poly was second among Big West schools with eight players picked during the 2008 MLB draft. UC Davis’ seven draftees were paced by 2008 Big West Co-Player of the Year Jake Jefferies. UC Santa Barbara also had seven players drafted, with catcher Chris McMurray (18th-Cincinnati) kick-starting a busy second day for the Gauchos. UC Irvine had six Anteaters selected, including 2008 Big West Tri-Pitcher of the Year Scott Gorgen. The 2008 Big West Co-Champions, Cal State Fullerton, had six selections, while UC Riverside saw four Highlanders selected and Cal State Northridge had one selection.

HEADING TO OMAHA
The Big West Conference has enjoyed a tradition of representation at college baseball’s premier event, the NCAA College World Series, a showcase of the nation’s best teams battling for the national championship in Omaha, Neb. The Big West has featured a contender for the coveted crown on an almost annual basis, as a Big West school has reached Omaha in 15 of the past 20 seasons. Cal State Fullerton brought home the Big West’s first national title in 1995 and then brought home a second as the 2004 national champ. Here is a breakdown of Big West participants in the College World Series over the years (baseball was not sponsored in the Big West from 1977-84).

ROSTER MLB & ALL-STARS PREVIEW COACHES PLAYERS 2009 SEASON 2008 IN REVIEW RECORD BOOK UNIVERSITY
.: 2008 Season Recap :. In the Tigers’ second full year at Klein Family Field, Head Coach Ed Sprague earned his 100th win with Pacific on Mar. 15, 2008, when the Tigers posted a 3-1 victory over Minnesota. However, Pacific could only record 10 more wins throughout the remainder of a very strong schedule. At the start of the season, several Tigers were given the opportunity in 2008 to fill holes left by departing seniors, as Sprague using players in a variety of options. This allowed for flexibility off the bench and in the field, but hampered the team slightly as they were trying to define their roles throughout the season. Throughout the first half of the 2008 season, individuals stepped up when needed to take charge and help lead the Tigers to victory, showing promise for a cohesive team after finding a late-season groove. Although freshman Nick Longmire (San Diego, Calif.) was not originally expected to lead the Tiger offense, he let his bat do the talking and earned a starting role in the outfield. Longmire finished with Pacific’s best batting average at .323 and led the team with 31 RBI by the close of 2008. His 18 multi-hit games and 11-game hitting streak also led the Tigers offensively. For his strength in the batters box, Longmire was named 2008 Louisville Slugger Freshman All-America as well as an All-Big West Honorable Mention.

Similarly, Mike Walker (Marysville, Calif.) earned a starting third base position. The sophomore finished the year with 37 starts in 44 games played. He went .293 at the plate, with 25 runs scored, 43 hits and 26 RBI. Those numbers landed Walker in the top five in each category for Pacific last season.
The win against Minnesota secured the Tigers’ first series victory and came right on the heels of another complete game victory by freshman Tyler Waldron (Pilot Hill, Calif.). On Mar. 14, Waldron tossed a careerhigh 11 strikeouts, then concluded his night allowing three hits and one walk in his 1-0 shutout.
On the day that turned Sprague into a 100-win club member, junior right-hander Mark McCain (Dallas, Texas) earned Collegiate Baseball / Louisville Slugger’s National Players of the Week honors after a commanding performance against Big Ten opponent Minnesota. Getting the nod as the No. 2 starter, McCain went to the hill on Saturday, Mar. 15, and dominated a complete game 3-1 victory over the Golden Gophers with 15 strikeouts. It was the most strikeouts a single Pacific hurler recorded since former major leaguer, Dan Reichert, on Feb. 14, 1997. The feat was even more spectacular since McCain had only been used out of the bullpen up until that point.
In their final home game, the Tigers said a symbolic goodbye at home to seniors John Joines (Milpitas, Calif.), Brett Manning (Boulder, Colo.), Noah St. Urbain (Stockton, Calif.), Adam Ching (Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif.), Greg Murray (El Cerrito, Calif.), Isaac Kamai (Nanakuli, Hawaii) and Jason Haar (San Diego, Calif.). Pacific then closed out conference play with an 8-4 victory over Cal State Northridge on May 18, 2008. The win against the Matadors was the second in the series, marking the first series win of the Big West Conference for the Tigers last year, ending conference play on a high note to carry into the next season.

Pacific Baseball
Led by Kurt Wideman (Fallbrook, Calif.) and Walker, who went 3-for-4 at the plate in the first game of the Cal State Northridge series, Pacific unloaded for a 17-5 domination of the Matadors. The Tigers scored their 17 runs on 15 hits, as eight of the nine starters each connected at the plate. Hunter Carnevale (Roseville, Calif.) garnered the win after pitching five scoreless innings in relief. He faced 19 batters and only allowed one hit and two walks. Offensively, Ching secured his name in several spots in Pacific’s record book after a solid four-year campaign with the Tigers. The senior’s 703 career at-bats ranked him fifth in Pacific history, and his 213 career hits are the second most recorded by any Tiger. Ching also recorded 288 total bases in his four years, good for the fourth-best all-time record at Pacific. The Tigers’ second half of the 2008 season came together on a strong note, as the players started to find their niches on the diamond instead of shuffling through utility roles. That experience, along with time against top-ranked national teams, will continue along with the squad in 2009 as the Tigers look to get back on a winning track, after Sprague led his teams to 30 wins in the 2005 and 2006 seasons.

Founded in 1851 as the first chartered university in California, University of the Pacific continues to enjoy a reputation as one of the finest academic institutions in the West. The main Stockton campus, with its expansive lawns and brick-and-ivy architecture, much like many renowned universities in the East, is highly regarded as one of the most picturesque college campuses in the West. The only private school in the Big West Conference, Pacific offers a diversity of programs that would normally be associated with a much larger university. Personal attention and small class sizes have become Pacific trademarks and help attract students from many U.S. states and foreign countries. Pacific provides its 6,235 scholars a student-to-faculty ratio of less than 13-to-1. Pacific is comprised of 11 schools and colleges on three campuses, offering students the distinctive advantage of nearby resources. Two professional schools complement the Stockton campus: the School of Dentistry in San Francisco and the McGeorge School of Law in Sacramento. The Stockton campus features the central liberal arts division, College of the Pacific and schools of music, engineering, education, pharmacy, business & public administration, international studies, the Graduate School and University College. Pacific students are represented on many policy-making committees, and the Associated Students (ASUOP) play an active role in campus life through social and cultural programs. The Stockton metropolitan area, with a population of over 280,000, is nestled conveniently in the San Joaquin Valley between San Francisco and the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Pacific offers its students a proximity to many exciting places including Monterey/Carmel, Lake Tahoe, the northern California wine country, and Yosemite National Park. It is adjacent to over 1,000 miles of waterways, making it the largest inland seaport in the state.

• Over 80 major fields from which to choose, yet an average class size of under 30, even in the freshman year. • NCAA Division I intercollegiate athletics as well as numerous club and intramural sports. • Exposure to a wide range of knowledge through the General Education program, and hundreds of opportunities for gaining “hands-on” experience in a chosen field. • A strong liberal arts tradition within key academic units including business, conservatory, education, engineering, international studies, and pharmacy. • An intercultural perspective that prepares students for working in an increasingly diverse and international society. • Students sit on many decision-making committees of the University to ensure that the voice of the students is heard. • A New England-like campus in northern California.

Academics are Number One at University of the Pacific, and Pacific is proud of its student-athletes’ performances in the classroom. In addition to having some truly outstanding individual scholar-athletes, Pacific currently boasts a graduation rate of over 96 percent for all recruited student-athletes who exhaust their athletic eligibility. During the spring semester of 2008, Pacific student-athletes posted a combined grade point average of 3.0. Pacific is annually represented on Big West Academic All-Conference teams, Academic All-America teams, and boasts NCAA Post-Graduate Scholars in several sports. For the 2007-08 academic year, Pacific honored 115 Big West Conference Scholar-Athletes. In order to qualify for the distinction, studentathletes must record a 3.0 grade point average over their two most recently completed semesters. Freshmen are required to attain a 3.2 grade point average over one semester to earn the accolade. Pacific attributes its success in the classroom to two primary factors. First, Pacific recruits only student-athletes who it believes can succeed at the University and who have a sincere commitment to a higher education. Second, it provides outstanding support services to students. An integral resource of support is a faculty committed to helping students obtain an education and to graduate, and who often tutor student-athletes one-on-one. Pacific intercollegiate athletics has a comprehensive academic achievement program for its student-athletes, including counseling, tutoring, monitoring services, leadership and life skills training, computer resources, and a set of standards and procedures outlined in the student-athlete handbook. Supervised study periods are provided, and a system of grade checks is in place to identify problem areas and ensure immediate attention. At Pacific, the “four-year” degree is no myth. Faculty and counseling resources help keep student-athletes at Pacific on track to graduate in four years. Located in the heart of the Pacific Intercollegiate Athletics Center, the Pacific Student-Athlete Resource Center, includes state-of-the-art computer facilities and is used exclusively by student-athletes. A special opportunity exists for student-athlete participation at Pacific with the Pacific Student-Athlete Council. The council is comprised of elected student-athlete representatives from each Division I team. The council sponsors a variety of activities throughout the year for Pacific student-athletes and youth in the community. To be a student-athlete at University of the Pacific is truly a unique experience. One can compete athletically at the NCAA Division I level with the best in the nation and, at the same time, have an outstanding educational experience with a dedicated faculty.

Donald V. DeRosa University President
COACHES PLAYERS 2009 SEASON 2008 IN REVIEW
Lynn King is in his ninth year as director of athletics for University of the Pacific. He began his tenure in March 2000. During his time at Pacific, King has seen the Tigers claim 15 Big West Conference team titles. Pacific has also made 28 NCAA Championship appearances under King’s guidance. In King’s first year at Pacific, the Tigers ranked first among NCAA Division I-AAA schools in the national Sears Directors Cup standings in 2000-01, surpassing all 78 other non-football Division I universities. The Tigers have also excelled in the classroom since King’s arrival, boasting six CoSida Academic All-Americans and 37 CoSida Academic All-District Team athletes since 2000-01. In 2002-03 alone, four Pacific teams were recognized with national team academic awards “Lynn King has provided our athletic department with tremendous leadership and direction. Pacific Athletics have reached new levels of success both athletically and academically,” said President Donald V. DeRosa. King is currently leading Pacific on a campaign to build two new facilities (a multipurpose gymnasium [the Janssen-Lagorio Gymnasium] for athletics and recreation and a tennis clubhouse), expand the Alex G. Spanos Center to include an athletics Hall of Fame and substantially increase the athletics endowment. This campaign is already well underway as construction of Klein Family Field and renovations to Chris Kjeldsen Pool have been completed. In addition, construction of the Janssen-Lagorio Gymnasium is scheduled to begin during the 2008-09 academic year. Before coming to Pacific, King chaired the NCAA Division I men’s and women’s track and field subcommittee from 1995 to 1999 and served as Drake’s director of intercollegiate athletics since 1990. Under the leadership of King, Drake’s Bulldog Scholarship Fund grew in both record numbers and money pledged in support of Drake athletics. Among his accomplishments at Drake, King played a major role in raising $12.5 million for design and construction of the 7,000-seat Knapp Multi Purpose Center. King also spearheaded successful efforts that enabled Drake’s athletics program to be officially certified by the NCAA Committee on Athletics Certification in the spring of 1998. The certification followed the committee’s review of Drake’s athletics program self-study and review of a report by a peer-review team that visited the campus in November of 1997. King previously served as director of intercollegiate athletics for University of Wisconsin in Oshkosh and assistant athletic director for facilities at the University of Northern Iowa, of which he is an alumnus. King began his career as head coach for men’s track and cross country, first at Rochester Community College and then at University of Northern Iowa, where he was also an instructor of health and physical education. While at Northern Iowa he coached 11 conference team champions, 25 All-Americans and two national champions. He was named regional or conference coach of the year 10 times and referee of the Drake Relays in 1984. King earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in physical education. In October of 2008, he was inducted into the Northern Iowa Athletics Hall of Fame. He was a member of the executive committee and a director of the Greater Des Moines Sports Authority, a director of the Iowa Games board, and the 1995 National Junior Olympics Organizing Committee. He and his wife, Jan, are parents of two adult children, Jason, and Kelly.

75
Director of Athletics MLB & ALL-STARS
A former psychology professor with a love of the liberal arts and a commitment to academic innovation, Donald V. DeRosa became the 23rd President of University of the Pacific in 1995. He is only the fifth President to hold office since the University moved to Stockton in 1924. During DeRosa’s presidency, Pacific faculty, students, programs and alumni have received numerous national awards and distinctions; applications to the college of arts and sciences and to Pacific’s eight professional schools have dramatically increased; and the endowment has more than tripled. The University raised more than $330 million in a recent comprehensive campaign, highlighted by a $100 million estate gift secured by DeRosa from the late Robert and Jeannette Powell, former and current regents of the University. Born in New Rochelle, N.Y., near New York City, DeRosa’s experiences as a student, professor and administrator have taken him across the country. He attended American International College in Springfield, Mass., as an undergraduate, receiving his bachelor’s degree in 1963 with a major in psychology. He earned his M.A. and Ph.D. in psychology at Kent State University in Ohio, completing his doctorate in 1967. DeRosa remained in Ohio for 16 years, as a professor and then department chair in psychology at Bowling Green State University. At Bowling Green, he was twice nominated for top teacher awards and was an active advocate for balance between faculty teaching and research. In 1984-85, DeRosa was awarded an American Council on Education Fellowship at the University of California, San Diego where he worked with then Chancellor Richard Atkinson. A year later, he went to the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, where he was dean of the Graduate School from 1985-89 and vice chancellor for academic affairs from 1989-90. He then served as provost for five years. As chief academic officer of the 12,000-student university, DeRosa was responsible for overseeing all academic programs, admissions, financial aid, advising, continuing education and international programs. DeRosa is passionate about living the Pacific mission of developing responsible leaders that make an impact within their careers and communities. “Universities must not only impart knowledge and prepare students for careers, but also educate and develop the whole student. The most successful and admired leaders are persons that have developed the capability to work effectively with others, and display social and emotional intelligence. And we have an obligation to make this educational experience accessible to all talented students, no matter his or her economic circumstances.” During the Sesquicentennial Year of the University in 2001, DeRosa convened 250 alumni and friends to form the National Commission on the Next Level of Excellence. The group advised the University on how to strengthen its role as a leading comprehensive university in the West. The recommendations from this effort have been the foundation for many initiatives at Pacific and were influential in setting the goals of the recently completed campaign. The size and talent of the student body has increased significantly since DeRosa took office. Enrollment has grown by nearly 700 since Fall 1996, with most of that growth occurring at the undergraduate level on the main Stockton campus. During that same time, freshman applications for admission tripled, to nearly 6000 in 2007; selectivity of the entering freshmen class improved from over 80 percent to 59 percent in fall 2007; and SAT scores of entering freshmen rose 100 points, to 1182 in fall 2007. The Dugoni School of Dentistry and the Long School of Pharmacy and Health Sciences consistently rank in the top few schools nationally in terms of the numbers of applications received annually. Each year since 2001, the University has been ranked as a Best Value among the top 250 doctoral universities in the nation, as determined by US News and World Report and consistently ranks among the top 40. A former baseball player at American International College, DeRosa has a strong commitment to athletics. Under his leadership, Pacific has recorded its most consistent success in intercollegiate athletics competition. Since 1996, nine teams have won 23 conference championships, and the Tigers have made 41 NCAA post-season appearances. The women’s volleyball team has made it to NCAA playoffs in 10 of the 13 seasons, reaching the round of 16 four times. The men’s basketball team has been one of America’s favorite Cinderella teams, making it to the NCAA Tournament three of the last five years. Pacific won the Big West Conference Commissioner’s Cup for the best overall school performance in the conference in 1999 and 2000, and ranked first in the national Sears Cup Directors Cup standings during the 2000-01 season, surpassing all 78 other non-football Division I universities. Most importantly, Pacific’s athletes perform just as well in the classroom as they do on the playing field. Since 1996, Pacific has boasted 14 national and 63 district VIII CoSIDA Academic AllAmericans. The men’s basketball program recently received a perfect score from the NCAA for its graduation rate, and the graduation rates in other sports are consistently higher than at many other Division I institutions. In addition to leading Pacific, President DeRosa has taken a leadership role in the academic community as well, serving a term on the American Council on Education’s (ACE) Commission on Leadership and Institutional Advancement. ACE is the nation’s coordinating higher education association and is a forum for advancing leadership in higher education. President and Karen DeRosa have two sons: Michael, who graduated from Santa Clara University in June of 2008, and David, a senior at Lincoln High School in Stockton. He also has three adult children, Carol, Joseph and Lauren, who live in North Carolina.

.: Athletic Performance :. Strength and conditioning is an integral part of any student-athlete’s life. At Pacific, new facilities combined with a dedicated staff work toward success on the playing field for Tiger student-athletes. “Strength and conditioning are critical to maximal athletic performance,” Pacific Athletic Director Lynn King said. “The University of the Pacific is proud of its Athletic Performance Center and staffing to assist our student-athletes in this vital part of their training and development.” The multi-purpose weight training and fitness facility within the Pacific Intercollegiate Athletics Center is 4,000 square feet and includes 10 Olympic platforms, 10 racks, five bench presses, five adjustable inclines, two full racks of dumbbells, over 50 medicine balls, 35 Swiss balls, six adjustable plyometric boxes and was completed in July of 1998. The newest addition to the athletic performance facilities is a 2,000 square foot conditioning room with plyometric flooring and 20 Schwinn Spin Bikes. “The Athletic Performance staff works hand-in-hand with sport coaches to assure the student-athlete develops physical strength, endurance and agility,” King said. “This training serves as a basis for the worth ethic required to reach one’s full potential.” Tony Sandoval joined Pacific in April of 2007 as the assistant director before being promoted to the Director of Athletic Performance in October of 2007. He most recently served as an assistant director of strength and conditioning at Sacramento State from January 2005 through the spring of 2007. Sandoval also earned his master’s degree in sports performance in 2006 at Sacramento State. While working at Sacramento State, Sandoval also worked with UCLA on a mentorship program that allowed him to travel to Los Angeles, Calif., approximately once a month to work with Bruin athletics. Sandoval earned his bachelor’s degree from Cal State San Bernardino in December of 2004 in exercise science. During his undergraduate studies, Sandoval also served as the boxing coach and the boxing strength and conditioning coach for the city of Chino, Calif. Marcus Dorin joined the Athletic Performance staff in January 2008 as the Assistant Director of Athletic Performance and is responsible for the year-round training for nine of Pacific’s athletic teams. Before coming to Pacific, Dorin spent the previous two years as the strength and conditioning coach of Butte College’s (Chico, Calif.) football, baseball, men’s basketball and softball teams. Prior to working at Butte College Dorin served as a spring training strength and conditioning intern for the Texas Rangers.

.: Klein Family Field :.
Klein Family Field, the first on-campus home for the Pacific Baseball team since 1951, officially opened on April 18, 2006 as the Tigers defeated Nevada, 8-3. Klein Family Field was made possible by a generous donation from the Klein family. “We feel very excited and fortunate that a gracious local family (the Kleins) would be honored to put their name on a stadium that we feel is going to be the cornerstone for bringing Pacific Baseball to the next level,� said Pacific Tigers baseball Head Coach Ed Sprague. Family patriarch Sol Klein came to Stockton in 1917 and soon became known as the father of youth baseball here. He established a 16-team grammar school league, donating uniforms and equipment to poor children; helped found Little League Baseball in Stockton and was one of the founders and first president of the Stockton Baseball Club, now the Stockton Ports. His son, Bud Klein, played baseball for Pacific and then Stanford before he was drafted by the Boston Red Sox in 1950. While Bud did not pursue a major league baseball career, he has brought the University great honor by entrusting to it the education of numerous family members. Bob Corkern, a spokesman for the Klein family, says the gift to Pacific’s baseball program is prompted as much by their enthusiasm for the university as it is their love of the game. University of the Pacific Director of Athletics Lynn King maintains that the community also benefits from the new baseball complex. Summer camps and youth leagues use the facilities when not used by the university, and the ability to host college tournaments and playoffs is expected to bring economic benefits to local business. During the fall of 2007 the Tigers continued to renovate Klein Family Field, adding new batting cages and lights to the ballpark. Klein Family Field holds a capacity of 2,500 spectators. The field dimensions are 317 feet down the left field line, 380 feet at the left field power alley, 395 feet to straightaway center field, 367 feet at the right field power alley and 325 feet down the right field line. Construction continues in 2009 with the building of two new luxury boxes in the upper concourse of Klein Family Field.
