The University of Alabama’s Director of Athletics since 1999, Mal Moore has made an indelible mark on one of the nation’s most storied athletic programs, leading a department that has enjoyed tremendous success athletically and academically and has undergone an unprecedented period of growth during his tenure. Through his guidance, Alabama’s athletic department remains focused on his vision of having all Crimson Tide athletic teams and student-athletes competitive at the highest level nationally while continuing to elevate athletic facilities at the Capstone to premier status nationally for all sports. During his tenure as Director of Athletics, Moore has overseen more than $200 million of capital improvements to University of Alabama athletic facilities. Those projects have encompassed the entire scope of all Crimson Tide athletic programs and have benefitted every Alabama studentathlete, coach, and administrator. Throughout his multi-faceted career, Moore has worked with a diversified field of constituents, from fellow coaches and former players, to fans and the business community. All of those experiences and relationships - in addition to his ability to unify those many constituents - have made him the ideal person to lead Alabama athletics in the 21st century.

His leadership has been crucial in helping guide Alabama through a period that has been, at times, extremely challenging. His guidance and effort helped Alabama athletics weather the storm, while continuing to move in a positive direction toward a future that holds great promise. Moore’s dedication to and love of the University of Alabama was recognized on March 28, 2007, when as a permanent tribute to his life-long contribution to The University of Alabama, the Board of Trustees of The University of Alabama officially dedicated the facility formerly known as The Football Building as the Mal M. Moore Athletic Facility. Under Moore’s direction, Alabama’s athletic teams have produced two national championships, the 2009 football title and the 2002 NCAA gymnastics championship, as well as several Southeastern Conference championships, winning titles in football, gymnastics, men’s basketball, women’s golf, men’s golf, men’s cross country, baseball and softball; taking SEC tournament titles in both baseball and softball. Alabama athletes have earned some of the highest honors the SEC and NCAA have to offer, including SEC Athlete of the Year, SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year, NCAA Top VIII, NCAA Postgraduate Scholarships and NCAA Sportsperson of the Year. These honors are over and above the individual conference and national titles that Alabama athletes continue to bring home to the Capstone on a regular basis.
In addition to making his mark on Alabama, Moore has also had a national impact as a key member of several prestigious NCAA and college football committees. Moore has served on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee, the SEC Athletic Directors Bowl Advisory Committee and the Big Six Conferences Minority Coaches Forum. Moore’s distinguished record of service to UA began more than 50 years ago when he joined the Crimson Tide football squad as a scholarship player for Coach Paul “Bear” Bryant from 195862. Moore has the distinction of being a part of eight national championship teams (1961, 1964, 1965, 1973, 1978, 1979, 1992 and 2009) with the first coming as a player, the next six during his coaching career and the last during his tenure as director of athletics. As a player and coach, he was also part of 14 SEC championships, and 27 bowl trips. He is the only individual connected with the Tide program to be a part of eight national championships.

Sprayberry Christmas Party The baseball Team concluded the Fall season with a Christmas Party at Sprayberry Education Center. The team brought gifts, signed baseballs and served the children treats during this event. The team led the group in Christmas carols and even had a surprise visit from Santa Claus.
The Alabama baseball team spent much of the fall working out and preparing for the upcoming season, but in their spare time the team was very active in the Tuscaloosa area with numerous community service projects. The team visited many schools and nursing homes and hosted a Halloween and Christmas party for a number of school-aged children, all a part of head coach Mitch Gaspard’s plan of being visible and giving back to a community that has supported the Crimson Tide for many years. “We want to be the most visible team on the Alabama campus,” Gaspard said. “We put in a lot of hours this fall, supporting the community and local schools. When fans come to watch us play, we want them to see our guys as more than just baseball players. I think our support in the community is important. We have a lot of loyal baseball fans in Tuscaloosa and this is our way to give back and thank them for all of their support. We had a busy fall and we will continue to support the community this spring as well.” The baseball team spent numerous hours with students and the elderly this fall, but the highlight of the semester took place at the Sprayberry Education Center, where the team hosted a Christmas party for the students and faculty. Sprayberry is the special education facility for the Tuscaloosa County School System and serves the needs of children in five different programs, including preschool, multiple disabilities, autism, alternative and TARGET, for gifted education.
It was a really, really good experience. I hope the team got as much out of it as our kids did and we look forward to doing this again in the future. I really appreciate Coach Gaspard and the team for coming here today and having such a great event.”
More than 100 students, faculty and staff participated in the event, according to Sprayberry principal John Barnacastle.
Gaspard and the Crimson Tide team hosted the event at the Sprayberry Center and provided the children with gifts and snacks for the event. The team also participated in the singing of Christmas carols and decorating the school’s tree. There was also a visit from Santa Claus.
“This was fantastic to have the whole baseball team here,” Barnacastle said. “Our kids loved it.

“We were truly honored to be a part of the Sprayberry Christmas party,” Gaspard said. “Our guys did a great job with all the kids and we all had a great time. The students had a great time, too. I am glad we could do this today for a great school and group of children.”

Project Angel Tree As part of a long-standing Athletic Department Tradition, the baseball team raised money for gifts for children whose parents are incarcerated and hosted a party at Coleman Coliseum. Former Alabama All-American and current New York Yankees relief pitcher David Robertson also attended the event and gave the Angel Tree a $1,500 gift card to Toys “R” Us to assist the project.
Halloween Extravaganza The baseball team participated in the Athletic Department’s annual Halloween Extravaganza in the Hank Crisp Indoor Facility. This provides children with a safe place to go and trick-or-treat in Tuscaloosa. The baseball team spent time working a booth that allowed children to see just how fast they could actually throw a baseball with a speed gun.
Capstone Village Retirement Community Active Aging Week Players visited the retirement center and spent 30 minutes each walking with the retirees.

Friends of Jaclyn Foundation Grayson Anderson was partnered with the Alabama baseball team through the Friends of Jaclyn Foundation, which helped to make him the newest member of the Tide squad. The Friends of Jaclyn Foundation (FOJ) is a non-profit, charitable organization formed in 2005 that improves the quality of life for children with pediatric brain tumors and their families. On Oct. 2, 2008, when he was only two years old, Grayson was diagnosed with a brain tumor. The tumor was surgically removed on Oct. 6, 2008, however a follow-up MRI on Feb. 10, 2009, revealed residual tumor in his brain stem. The tumor is still present but has not grown.

The ballpark has seen many changes over the last half-century and hosted many great events. “The Joe” which is located just off Paul W. Bryant drive in the UA Athletics Complex, had played host to six NCAA Regionals, six SEC Playoff series and a pair of exhibition games with the New York Yankees in 1978 and 1984. The Crimson Tide used its home-field advantage to secure a berth in the College World Series in 1996, 1997 and 1999, winning 13 straight post-season home games in one of the most dominant runs in Crimson Tide baseball history. Alabama has compiled a 1,108-467-2 (.703) alltime record at Sewell-Thomas Stadium since its move to the current site in 1948. The Crimson Tide posted a 23-7 (.760) record at home last season and won four of their five Southeastern Conference series, with wins over No. 16 Vanderbilt, Auburn, Mississippi State, and No. 14 Mississippi. Over the last 16 years, Alabama has been almost unbeatable at home, winning 61 of its 78 SEC series. Since 1995, Alabama had won 33 of 43 home series against SEC Eastern Division teams. A series loss to No. 3 Florida snapped a 14-series win streak versus Eastern Division schools, that dated back to the 2005 season. After sweeping all three SEC Western Division series last season, Alabama has won 24 of 35 home series, including 10 of its last 12. Alabama enters the 2011 season having won 25 of its last 30 SEC home series. In 2009, Alabama earned a home series win over top-ranked Georgia, adding to the Tide’s success at Sewell-Thomas Stadium. The Crimson Tide has won seven of its eight series against the No. 1 team in the land since 1985, with four of those series wins coming in Tuscaloosa. Alabama owns home series wins over Miami, Fla. (1985), LSU (2007), Mississippi State (2006) and Georgia (2009), when those teams were ranked No. 1 in the country. The Crimson Tide baseball team has been a success at the gate as well, drawing more than 2,000,000 fans since the first stadium expansion in
20
1991. Over the last 20 years, Alabama has attracted 2,309,165 fans in 641 all-time openings. The Crimson Tide ranked second nationally in attendance from 1999-2002 and set a school record with 211,331 fans during the 2000 season, when every home game was sold out. Frank Thomas Field opened on March 26, 1948, as a 2,000-seat facility, which attracted many overflow crowds in the 1950s and 1960s under Coach Tilden “Happy” Campbell and Coach Joe Sewell. The inaugural game was played on March 26, 1948 with the Crimson Tide beating the Bradley Braves 5-2 in the first game of a doubleheader. Pitcher Clarence Flack delivered the first pitch at 2:02 p.m. (CT) on that afternoon in the Tide’s new baseball home. Dick Dill recorded the first hit at Thomas Field and Jack Rutledge swatted the first home run. Flack was the winning pitcher that afternoon for the Tide. Marvin Blemker also pitched and earned what is known today as a save. Since the inaugural game in 1948, Sewell-Thomas Stadium has seen plenty of changes, both on and off the field. The stadium was renamed Sewell-Thomas Field in 1978, honoring former Alabama football and baseball standout and Major League Hall of Famer Joe Sewell. Alabama played the first night game in school history on March 14, 1981 with a 13-8 victory over Western Kentucky. The ballpark has undergone two major renovations since it was erected in 1947, with the last coming in 1999. In addition, there are additional plans for future renovations on the both the inside and outside of the stadium. The original grandstand was completed in time for the 1991 season and the Tide’s new ball park held 2,700 fans. Wesley Construction of Talladega, Ala., built the new facility for $2.1 million and the completion of the permanent grandstand changed the name of the facility to Sewell-Thomas Stadium. In
1996, bleachers were added down the right field line to raise the stadium’s capacity to more than 4,000 as the Crimson Tide hosted their first NCAA Regional that same year. N.C. Morgan Construction of Tuscaloosa, Ala., was responsible for the most recent additions at SewellThomas Stadium. The $4 million expansion project, which was completed prior to the 2001 season, involved extending the grandstand down the rightfield line. The addition of 2,000 seats raised the stadium capacity to 6,571 seats. The bench seats that filled the upper level of the grandstand were moved to the new addition. Chairback seats, similar to those in the lower level, were installed in the upper level. The stadium also received three new ticket booths, five new concession stands and five new restrooms for men and women. Two “hawker” stands were added to allow for concession sales in the grandstand. The players and coaches benefited from the 2001 renovations, too. The Crimson Tide moved into its spacious clubhouse in 2001. The expansion also included three indoor batting cages and pitching machines, a meeting room, training room, equipment room and coaches offices. A new stadium entrance was created in the fall of 2005 and a new sound system from All Pro Sound was installed prior to the start of the season. The ball park also got a general face-lift with new paint, signs and handrails as part of this $175,000 project. The most recent changes to Sewell-Thomas Stadium was a renovation to the players locker room, lounge and meeting room. The player facilities were completed in 2010, with the locker room getting maple wood lockers, flat screen television, and a juice bar. The players lounge includes seating for the entire team, a pool table, additional televisions, and a large trophy case, which displays the team’s 14 SEC Regular Season and seven SEC Tournament trophies.

In addition to Kilcrease and Morgan, second year head coach Mitch Gaspard will look towards Tucker Hawley, Jonathan Smart, Taylor Wolfe and Trey Pilkington to fill out the starting rotation. Hawley appeared in 16 games with five starts as a freshman in 2010, and earned the win in Alabama’s NCAA Regional win over Mercer. He was 2-1 with a 4.20 ERA in 40.2 innings and had a 7.75 strikeout to walk ratio in 2010. Smart made 17 appearances with seven starts for a 2-1 record in 43.2 innings as a junior.

Senior Brett Whitaker will also add depth to the bullpen after throwing 31.0 innings in 23 outings, with a 4.65 ERA, a 2-3 record, and three saves in 2010. Newcomers that could make an impact out of the pen are transfers Nathan Kennedy and Jason Zylstra.

Zylstra, who sat out last season after transferring to Alabama from Jacksonville State, had a 2-3 record with 61 strikeouts in 80 innings in two seasons with the Gamecocks.

ALABAMA
Mitch Gaspard returns for his second year as the head baseball coach at the Capstone, after leading the Crimson Tide to 42 wins and a NCAA Super Regional finish in his first season. Alabama finished the year with a 42-25 record, as Gaspard tied the school record for most wins by a first year coach, while becoming the first Alabama coach to lead his team to an NCAA Regional Championship his first season. He has his own philosophies on hitting, pitching, defense and ways to build a championship program and you cannot argue with his success. That success has come from hard work and high energy, both on and off the field. “We want to be known as a blue-collar-type team,” Gaspard said. “I believe in hard work. We want to work hard in the classroom, during practice and at the games. We want to out-work the teams we play. Our strength and conditioning program is built around mental toughness. When the game is on the line in the ninth inning, we want to be mentally stronger than our opponent. We want the toughness to show in all areas of our team.” Gaspard spent his first season as the head coach instilling that toughness for the Alabama squad. The toughness translated into opening the season with a 16-1 record to match the best 17-game start in school history. Gaspard led the Tide to 14 wins over top-25 competition, and the season wrapped up with the team winning 13 of its final 17 games. Gaspard has a high-energy coaching staff with a deep passion for the game and deep passion for the Crimson Tide program. Assistant coaches Dax Norris and Andy Phillips were both all-American players for the Crimson Tide in the 90s. Norris serves as the team’s pitching coach and recruiting coordinator and played two years at Alabama in 1995-96. Phillips, who will be the hitting and infield coach, was a fouryear letter-winner for Alabama from 1996-99, and after his all-American season in 1999, Phillips went on to play baseball professionally for 11 season, including five in Major League Baseball with the Yankees and the Reds. The energy level of the coaching staff brought about some intense practices and tension-filled scrimmages this fall, putting the players in gamelike situations to see how they would respond. “Our offensive philosophy is going to be different,” Gaspard said. “You can look at my teams at Northwestern State; we were third in the nation in two of the six years in stolen bases. The one unique quality we have here is we have power but we also have athletes with speed. “We’ve got to use that and really have the aggressive style that’s going to put pressure on the defense and I think we can do that with our offense with a little bit of a running game, hit-and-

run, playing the short game some and also being able to hit the three-run homer. We can use all three packages on that.” Gaspard also wants to translate that mental toughness to the mound,. “I think the number one goal for us pitchingwise, is we’ve got to command the strike zone. We’ve got to have that same aggressive style on the mound and throw the fastball and put it where we need it and get tough mentally on the mound, the same as many of our position players.” Gaspard has learned from some of the best in the business. He comes from a coaching tree that is a virtual Hall of Fame. His 23-year coaching career has included playing and working for some of the best in the game, like former LSU coach Skip Bertman, former Houston coach Bragg Stockton and former Northwestern State and former Alabama skipper Jim Wells. After graduating from Port Arthur-Jefferson High School, where he led the team to a state title and earned all-state honors at shortstop, Gaspard played one season for Bertman at LSU. He transferred to Houston in 1986 and finished his career with the Cougars, earning his degree in 1988. Stockton offered him his first coaching job and he spent one year at his alma mater before
moving on to UL Lafayette for the next three seasons. From 1989-92, the Ragin Cajuns won three straight conference titles and played in three NCAA Regionals. During his days as Wells’ assistant at NSU, the Demons won SLC titles in 1993 and 1994, winning in NCAA regional play in 1994. Gaspard was a pivotal figure as an ace recruiter and shrewd tactician in the remarkable revival of the Crimson Tide. Alabama had four SEC wins in 1994, but after Gaspard arrived, the Tide won the SEC Tournament in 1995 and was one win away from the College World Series. By the time Gaspard returned to NSU, Alabama had earned six NCAA Regional appearances and three College World Series berths, including a national championship game loss to LSU in 1997. In each of his seven seasons at Alabama, Gaspard molded the Tide into one of the nation’s finest defensive units. Alabama set numerous school records and ranked among the nation’s Top 10 fielding teams twice in his tenure. Gaspard was the chief recruiter for Alabama. In each of his first five seasons, Alabama ranked among the nation’s top 20 recruiting classes, including three straight Top 10 recruiting classes, according to Baseball America and Collegiate Baseball.

Head Coach Mitch Gaspard
The 1985 team went 41-18 en route to the SEC Western Division championship and collected the school’s first NCAA Regional appearance since 1975. He transferred to Houston following his sophomore season and played two years for the Cougars and lettered in 1986 and 1987. He played on Coach Rolan Walton’s final UH team in 1986, helping the Cougars to a 35-23 overall mark. In his final season as a UH player, Gaspard helped the Cougars to a 40-27 overall record and a berth in the NCAA Central Regional in Austin, Texas under first-year head coach Dr. Bragg Stockton. The Cougars finished the year ranked 14th nationally. HOUSTON (1988) Gaspard’s first coaching job came at Houston in 1988 under the legendary Stockton, where he tutored with the Cougars’ infielders. Houston posted a 33-22-3 overall record in 1988. Gaspard’s first game as an assistant coach came on Feb. 13, 1988 against Texas Lutheran.
SNAPSHOTS During Gaspard’s first stint on the UA staff, the Crimson Tide posted a 320-127 (.732) record and played in six NCAA Regionals and made three College World Series appearances (1996, 1997 and 1999) in a four-year span.
“Mitch is a bright, young, energetic coach with a great passion for the game of baseball,” former Tide coach Jim Wells said. “He is an outstanding recruiter and teacher. He is a tireless worker and is one of the main reasons that we were so successful in the early stages of building our program at Northwestern State and Alabama.” Gaspard got his first head coaching job at Northwestern State in 2002 and compiled a 211128 (.622) record in his tenure at Northwestern State. During those six years, he led the Demons to a pair of Southland Conference championships, one SLC Tournament championship and a berth in the 2005 NCAA Baton Rouge (La.) Regional. After the 2007 season, Gaspard decided to return to Alabama, where he would be reunited with Wells. After two years as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator, Gaspard helped the Tide regain its baseball momentum and for that he was named the Tide’s 30th head coach on Sept. 2, 2009 after Wells’ retirement. “It’s the ultimate for me and I know I’m extremely excited and honored to take over the program and move forward and strengthen where we’re at right now,” Gaspard said. “I consider Alabama to be the greatest university and we play in the greatest conference (SEC) against the top competition that there is in the country in college baseball.” With his pedigree, energy and intensity, Gaspard is sure to be a success with the Crimson Tide program. CREDENTIALS Gaspard has enjoyed success at every level of his baseball career as a player, assistant coach
42
and head coach. The second-year Crimson Tide head coach has worked more than 1,600 games and his teams have compiled a 1,094-555-3 (.663) overall record. Those teams have won 10 conference championships, nine conference tournament titles, and played in 15 NCAA Regionals and one NCAA Super Regional. In addition, Gaspard has played or coached on 17 teams that have won 40 or more games and three teams with 50 or more wins in a season. THE COACHING TREE Gaspard has been associated with some of college baseball’s top coaches, including Skip Bertman, Bragg Stockton and Jim Wells. Bertman changed the face of baseball in the Southeastern Conference and led the Tigers to five national championships. Stockton had great influence on the Gaspard’s career and offered the young infielder his first coaching position. That first job has turned into 20 years of coaching excellence, with Gaspard demanding the best of his players on and off the field. Gaspard played a vital role in the revival of Alabama baseball in the mid 1990s. His keen eye for talent and his ability to teach the game of baseball sent the Crimson Tide to the College World Series in 1996, 1997 and 1999. THE PLAYER Gaspard’s four-year collegiate career at LSU and Houston saw his teams compile a 148-91 (.619) overall record, post two, 40-win seasons and play in two NCAA Regionals (1985 and 1987). He began his career at LSU in 1984 and 1985, earning one varsity letter on Coach Skip Bertman’s first LSU squad in 1984. The 1984 edition of the Tigers posted a 32-23 overall record.
UL LAFAYETTE (1989-92) Gaspard spent four years at Louisiana Lafayette and the Ragin’ Cajuns won four conference titles during his time on campus. ULL posted a 183-74 (.712) record during Gaspard’s time under Coach Mike Boulanger. In 1989, the Ragin’ Cajuns posted a 49-13 overall record and captured the American South Conference championship with an 11-4 record. The following year, ULL (47-18, 11-4) repeated as conference champs and advanced to the NCAA South I Regional in Baton Rouge, La., before losing to LSU and Southern Mississippi in consecutive games. The Ragin’ Cajuns (49-20, 14-4) pulled off the three-peat in 1991, winning its third straight American South Conference championship. ULL beat Texas, Clemson and Mississippi State during the regular season. The Ragin’ Cajuns advanced to the NCAA Regionals for the second straight year, finishing runner-up to eventual national champion LSU in the NCAA South II Regional in Baton Rouge. After an openinground loss to Texas A&M, ULL bounced back to beat Northwestern State, South Alabama and Texas A&M, before dropping the title game to the Tigers. In 1992, ULL (38-23) finished first in the Sun Belt Conference Western Division and played in the school’s third straight NCAA Regional, losing two straight games to Long Beach State and VCU in the NCAA Central Regional in Austin, Texas. NORTHWESTERN STATE (1993-94) Gaspard hooked up with Jim Wells for the first time in 1993 and the two built a close friendship and working relationship over the next 15 years. In his two seasons at NSU, the Demons went 8529 (.737) and won two Southland Conference championships, one SLC Tournament championship and played in one NCAA Tournament. The 1993 NSU squad went 40-14 en route to the SLC title. The 1994 team won a school-record 45 games en route to a 45-15 slate and a berth in the NCAA Midwest II Regional in Stillwater, Okla. The Demons won eight games against top 25 clubs in 1994 and set 19 school and SLC records en route to an 18-6 conference mark. ALABAMA (1995-2001) Gaspard followed Wells to Alabama and played a prominent role in the revival of Crimson Tide

Head Coach Mitch Gaspard baseball. During his seven years on the staff, the Crimson Tide posted a 320-127 (.732) record and played in six NCAA Regionals and made three College World Series appearances (1996, 1997 and 1999) in a four-year span. Alabama also won the 1996 SEC Championship and captured four SEC Tournament (1995, 1996, 1997 and 1999) championships. The Crimson Tide was also the No. 1 seed at the 1996 and 1997 CWS, the first team in history to be the top seed in consecutive World Series. Gaspard was responsible for bringing in some of the nation’s top baseball players with five top 20 classes, including three straight top 10 finishes. One of his star pupils, Lance Cormier, earned AllAmerican honors on the field and in the classroom and left the Capstone as the all-time leader in appearances, innings pitched, wins and strikeouts. A fourth-round draft pick, Cormier now pitches for the Tampa Bay Rays. Under Gaspard’s watch, Alabama has some fine defensive units. Alabama led the SEC and ranked fourth nationally with a school-record .971 fielding mark in 1996. The following year, Alabama led the league and ranked ninth nationally with a .968 fielding mark in 1997. The 1997 squad was the most prolific offensive team in school history, leading the nation in total hits (860), runs scored (679), total bases (1,571) and slugging percentage (.622). The Crimson Tide also ranked second nationally in home runs (160), home runs per game (2.29) and wins (56), all school records. NORTHWESTERN STATE (2002-07) Gaspard was named the head coach at Northwestern State following the 2001 season, following in the footsteps of Jim Wells, Dave Van Horn and John Cohen, all who had left the Louisiana school for SEC head coaching jobs. His six-year record was 211-128 (.622), which included two Southland Conference Championships, one SLC Tournament Championship and one NCAA Regional appearance. Under Gaspard guidance the Demons had 28 All-Southland Conference selections, including 12 first-team picks. Gaspard had two players win major awards under his watch, including 2002 Southland Conference Pitcher of the Year O.J. King and 2004 CoSIDA/ESPN the Magazine Academic All-American Bobby Barbier. Gaspard led the Demons to a pair of SLC Championships in 2002 and 2005. His first NSU squad captured the Southland Conference championship and finished with a 4317 overall record, including a 14-10 mark in league play. The Demons ranked third nationally in fielding (.974), 11th in double plays (1.17), 12th in earned run average (3.54) and 18th in winning percentage (.717). The 2002 NSU team set the school record with 612 hits and 53 sacrifice bunts. Despite a solid RPI and key wins over South Alabama and Minnesota, the Demons were left out of the NCAA Tournament. The 2003 team posted a 35-22 record, including a 16-11 mark in SLC play, and ranked 12th nationally with 2.02 stolen bases per game. Tigger Lyles was 19th nationally with 0.59 thefts per game. The 2004 Demons posted a 33-23 record and 16-9 mark in conference play. NSU set a school record with 134 stolen bases to rank sixth nationally with 2.34 thefts per game. Lyles and Josh Boop were among the nation’s top stolen base artists with 0.52 stolen bases per game to rank 29th nationally. Gaspard led the 2005 NSU team to a 41-20 overall record and his first trip to the NCAA Regionals. The Demons posted a 22-5 conference record, setting the SLC record for wins, en route to the league championship and a berth in

the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional. The 2005 squad also set the school record with 19 saves. Daniel Desclouds (10) and Blake Jones (8) accounted for 18 of the saves and both ranked among the nation’s top 50 closers. The Demons compiled a 3328 record in 2006 and set the school record with 522 1/3 innings pitched. Gaspard was 25-28 in his final season at NSU in 2007.

Dax Norris, one of the cornerstones of the University of Alabama’s baseball revival in the 1990s under former head coach Jim Wells, begins his fourth season as assistant coach for the Crimson Tide. When Mitch Gaspard was named head coach in 2009, Norris was promoted to the recruiting coordinator for the program. A hard-nosed player, Norris brings that same work ethic and intensity as the Crimson Tide’s pitching coach and recruiting coordinator. After working as the hitting instructor from 2008-10, he takes over the pitching staff, and tutors the Alabama catchers, beginning with the 2011 season. “With Dax being a player here, I think everybody remembers the type of player he was.

2010 Season in Review
SEASON RECAP: Alabama (42-25, 15-15 SEC) made its 21st NCAA Regional appearance during the 2010 season and advanced to its third NCAA Super Regional, where it fell one game short of the College World Series. After closing the regular season with five straight wins to qualify for the SEC Tournament, Alabama won three straight postseason games over Auburn, Mississippi and Florida to advance to the championship game. Seeking its eighth SEC Tournament title, Alabama fell to LSU 4-3 in 11 innings in a championship game that pitted the No. 7 and No. 8 seeds against one another for the first time in league history. Following its strong showing in Hoover, Alabama carried its momentum to the NCAA Atlanta Regional, where the Tide would meet No. 8 national seed Georgia Tech, Elon and Mercer in the four-team tournament. After an easy win over Elon in the opener, the Tide fell to Georgia Tech in the winner’s bracket final. The Crimson Tide then reeled off three straight wins, including back-to-back wins over the Yellow Jackets to secure its seventh NCAA Regional championship and it’s first on the road since 1983. Alabama remained on the road, where it would face Clemson in the NCAA Super Regional with the winner advancing to the College World Series. The Crimson Tide posted a 5-4 win in the series opener, putting itself one win from its first CWS appearance since 1999. Clemson rebounded with a 19-5 win in game two, scoring six runs in the first inning to set up a winnertake-all game three. The Tide grabbed a 1-0 first inning lead, but quickly fell behind as the Tigers scored runs in each of the next three innings to take a 6-1 lead. Clemson added two more runs in the seventh for a seemingly comfortable 8-1 lead heading into the final inning. Alabama scored five runs in the bottom of the ninth and had runners at second and third with senior third baseman Jake Smith at the plate. Smith, who had homered in each of the first two games against Clemson, flied out to left-center field to end the game and the Crimson Tide’s magical postseason. Alabama opened the season with an eight-game winning streak and matched the school record for the best record (16-1) after 17 games. Following one of the best starts in school history, the Tide hit a lull and dropped 14 of its next 20 games and was 22-15 on April 19. Alabama won five straight games in late April, before losing six of eight games following a 5-4 loss to Mississippi on May 14. With its back to the wall, Alabama closed the regular season with five straight wins. The Crimson Tide went 8-4 in the postseason to finish with 13 wins in its last 17 games. Sophomore center fielder Taylor Dugas was named First-Team AllAmerican by Baseball America to become the school’s 15th first team All American selection. Dugas and junior shortstop Josh Rutledge were FirstTeam All-SEC selections in 2010. Rutledge was also a semifinalist for the
2010 Brooks Wallace Award, presented annually to the top collegiate shortstop, while Smith and junior RHP Jimmy Nelson were named to the John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year and Pitcher of the Year watch lists, respectively. The Crimson Tide had seven players selected in the 2010 MLB Draft, including Nelson, Rutledge, junior second baseman Ross Wilson, Smith, sophomore RHP Tyler White, senior first baseman Clay Jones and junior RHP Jason Townsend. FINAL RANKINGS: Alabama closed the season by winning 13 of its last 17 games and found itself ranked among the top 20 teams in the six major baseball polls. The Crimson Tide was 16th in the final rankings compiled by Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball and PING Baseball. Alabama finished 17th in the Rivals.com poll and 18th in the ESPN Coaches and National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCWBA) rankings. GASPARD TIES ROOKIE WINS RECORD: With 42 wins last season, Coach Mitch Gaspard tied the Alabama record for most wins by a first-year head coach. Jim Wells also won 42 games, leading the Crimson Tide to 42-23 record in his first season in 1995. Gaspard is the first Alabama baseball coach to lead his team to an NCAA Regional championship in his first season. The first-year coach led the Crimson Tide to a 4-1 record at the 2010 NCAA Atlanta Regional, which included two wins over No. 8 Georgia Tech. Gaspard and Wells are the only two coaches in Alabama history to lead their team to the championship game of the SEC Tournament. The Crimson Tide defeated Auburn, Mississippi and Florida to reach the championship game, before losing to LSU. Wells directed Alabama to the 1995 SEC Western Division Tournament championship with four wins in its final at-bat against LSU, Mississippi State, Arkansas and LSU. ALABAMA COACHING DEBUTS: Alabama head coach Mitch Gaspard enjoyed a successful debut on Saturday, Feb. 20, 2010, as the Crimson Tide beat South Alabama 12-4. Alabama head coaches are 19-11 in their coaching debuts. Four of the last five UA coaches have had successful debuts, including Joe Sewell (1964), Barry Shollenberger (1980), Jim Wells (1995) and Gaspard (2010). Gaspard also enjoyed a successful SEC debut, leading the Crimson Tide to a 4-1 win over No. 16 Vanderbilt on March 19, 2010, at Sewell-Thomas Stadium. Gaspard is one of only four UA coaches to win his SEC coaching debut, joining Tilden “Happy” Campbell, Barry Shollenberger and Jim Wells. GASPARD POSTS THIRD-BEST START FOR ROOKIE COACH: Alabama head coach Mitch Gaspard led the Crimson Tide to an 8-0 start in 2010, the third-best start by a first-year coach in school history. Only Kid Peeples (100, 1897) and Wallace Wade (9-0, 1924) led their first UA squads to better starts. In addition, the Crimson Tide’s 8-0 start equaled the sixth-best record to open a season in school history. The 1924 team owns the fifth-best start with a 9-0 record. Four teams (1897, 1988, 1998 and 2002) opened the season with 10 wins. The school record is 15 straight wins held by the 1997 team. ALABAMA SETS SINGLE-SEASON FIELDING MARK: Alabama posted a school record .977 fielding mark during the 2010 season, eclipsing the previous mark of .971 set in 1996 and 2009. The 2009 team committed just 61 errors in 58 games, while the 1996 squad made 78 errors in 69 games. The Crimson Tide committed 56 errors in 2010 and played 29 errorless games. Alabama was 24-5 in those games in which they did not make an error. The Tide played 12 errorless SEC games and went 10-2 in those games. Alabama played two errorless SEC series in 2010 against Mississippi State (April 2325) and Tennessee (May 20-22). Alabama closed the regular season with six straight errorless road games, including five in a row in SEC play.
Taylor Dugas led Alabama with a .395 batting average, 70 runs scored, 59 walks, 19 stolen bases, five triples, and a .525 on base percentage, and was a Baseball America First Team selection.

1977 MLB Hall of Fame Member - Joe Sewell 122
Joe Sewell had a knack for this “funny game.” That knack has made him the only player in Crimson Tide baseball annals to be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in the quaint little town of Cooperstown, N.Y. The only other Crimson Tider in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum is New York Yankees legendary broadcaster Mel Allen, who along with Florida alum Red Barber, earned induction in 1978 as the inaugural winner of the Ford C. Frick Award. Inducted in the Hall of Fame in 1977, Sewell’s career spanned 14 seasons with the Cleveland Indians and New York Yankees. From the moment he left the Capstone as student body president in 1919, Sewell’s major league career was the stuff dreams are made of. After leading the Crimson Tide to the 1919 Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association championship, Sewell was selected by the Indians and signed with the New Orleans, La., team in the Southern Association. The Titus, Ala., native made his major league debut with the Indians in the heat of a pennant drive in 1920, after their everyday shortstop was killed after being hit with a submarine pitch. Sewell rose to the challenge and batted .329 over the final 22 games of the season to help the Indians clinch the American League pennant. Alongside future Hall of Famers Stanley Coveleski, Tris Speaker and Bill Wambagass, Sewell and the Indians disposed of the Brooklyn Robins in seven games, taking the 1920 series five games to two. Sewell batted only .174 (4-for-23) in his first trip to the fall classic, but was solid in the field in all seven games helping the Indians lay claim to the World Series title. He played 11 years for the Indians before joining the New York Yankees roster for the final three years of his outstanding major league career. Sewell once again tasted greatness with Yankees in 1932, when New York beat the Chicago Cubs in the most talked about World Series in history. The Yankees won 107 games in 1932 and swept the Cubs in the best-of-seven fall classic. The Yankees took the first two games at Yankee Stadium (12-6 and 5-2) before moving to Wrigley Field for games three and four. In game three, Babe Ruth, a teammate and close friend of Sewell, made baseball history. And his fifth inning at-bat off Chicago hurler Charley Root is still the most talked about home run in baseball history. Ruth slugged a three-run home run in the first inning and legend has it that after taking two called strikes in his third at-bat, the Sultan of Swat pointed to center field before he slammed a two-run home run over the head of Johnny Moore for what has become the most debated home run in the history of the fall classic. The Yankees won the game 7-5 and then closed out the Cubs the following day (13-6) to win the 1932 World Championship. In a lineup filled with Hall of Famers from Frank Crosetti to Bill Dickey to Lou Gehrig to Ruth, Sewell batted .333 (5-for-15) in the four games with six runs scored and two RBI. He was on base when Ruth slugged his first inning home run in game three and witnessed the famed “called shot” from the Yankees dugout. Sewell was also close friend and roommate with Yankee legend Lou Gehrig, whose career was tragically cut short due to ALS in the 1930s. In 14 major league seasons, Sewell batted .312 (2,226-of-7,132) with 1,051 career RBI. He played in nearly 2,000 career games and logged over 7,000 at-bats for the Indians and Yankees. He also had more than 2,000 hits, 1,000 runs scored and 1,000 RBI. He hit .300 or better in 10 of his 14 seasons in the big leagues.
His best season was 1923 when he batted .353 (195-for-553) with the Indians. He collected a career-high 204 hits with the Indians in 1925, when he posted a .336 (204-for-608) batting average. An outstanding fielder, Sewell led the American League in putouts and assists four times in his career and led the league in fielding percentage three times. A “singles hitter” overshadowed by some the game’s greatest sluggers, Sewell set five major league records that continue to pass the test of time: fewest strikeouts in a season (3, two times); consecutive games without a strikeout (115 games); consecutive at-bats without a strikeout (437 at-bats); most seasons of 500 or more at-bats with fewer than four strikeouts (4); fewest career strikeouts (114). Throughout his sparkling 14-year career at the pinnacle of the baseball profession, Sewell turned in numbers that are simply amazing to the average baseball fan. For instance, his 114 career strikeouts in over 7,000 career at-bats averages out to one strikeout for every 63 at-bats, one strikeout in every 16 games played. And still years later, in 1964, at age 66, Sewell, a Tuscaloosa resident and businessman since his college days, took over the Crimson Tide’s baseball program as head coach. In his seven-year tenure, Alabama compiled a 114-99 (.535) record, which included the 1968 SEC Championship and a trip to the NCAA District III Playoffs in North Carolina. Sewell was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in 1977, along with Ernie Banks, Martin Dihigo, Pop Llyod, Al Lopez and Amos Rusie. He is one of 11 Alabama natives to be enshrined in Cooperstown, joining fellow legends Hank Aaron (Mobile), Monte Irvin (Columbia), Heinie Manush (Tuscumbia), Willie Mays (Westfield), Willie McCovery (Mobile), Satchel Paige (Mobile), Ozzie Smith (Mobile), Don Sutton (Clio), Billy Williams (Whistler) and Early Wynn (Hartford). Sewell died on March 6, 1990, in Mobile, Ala., after a lengthy illness. At the time of his death he was the oldest living baseball Hall of Famer at 91 years of age.

Ford C. Frick Award - Mel Allen Mel Allen is as much a part of the national pastime as the squeeze play, hot dogs, and pennants flapping in the breeze. And he never played in the big leagues. Instead he called the game, and that allowed the fans to play the games over and over in their minds. His voice is the voice that millions of fans associate with the game of baseball. Born Melvin Allen Israel, the son of a traveling textile representative in Birmingham, and raised all over Alabama, he was a spindly student manager for the Crimson Tide football and baseball teams when he got his chance to announce games. His first assignment behind the microphone was doing play-by-play of a football game between Tulane and Alabama, his beloved alma mater. While a student at The University of Alabama, he sold shoes, coached speech and debate, and ultimately earned his law degree before winning an audition to announce in New York for CBS Radio. After winning that audition with CBS in 1936, Allen broadcast his first World Series for the network in 1938. He joined the Yankees the following year and stayed for 25 more, delighting millions of baseball fans with his warm sign-on -- “Hello, everybody!” -- and his trademark phrases “How about that!” and “Going, going, gone!” Allen was the Voice of the New York Yankees from 1939 to 1964, the team that aroused more passion than any other in baseball. With his vivid phrases and pleasing Alabama drawl, he called many of the great events in the game: the Babe’s good-bye, Larsen’s perfect game in the 1956 World Series, Mantle’s heroics, Maris’ record-shattering summer (1961), Casey’s barbs, Yogi’s convoluted pronouncements. “Mel Allen meant as much to Yankee tradition as legends like Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio and Mantle,” Yankees owner George Steinbrenner said. “He was the Voice of the Yankees.”
BASEBALL
In an era before television, millions of radio listeners around the nation saw the game through the descriptions of this thoughtful and articulate Alabamian who prided himself on being both a reporter and storyteller. Allen moved to the Milwaukee Braves in 1965, went on to broadcast for the Cleveland Indians and handled a variety of assignments for NBC. He returned as the Voice of the New York Yankees in 1970s and began a 19-year association with This Week in Baseball as host of the popular program. In his 58 years of sports broadcasting, Allen did it all. He called thousands of Yankees games, 24 Major League Baseball World Series, 20 All-Star Games, 14 Rose Bowls, five Orange Bowls, two Sugar Bowls, and over 2,000 newsreels. A winner of numerous industry, listener and viewer awards, Allen is a member of National Baseball Hall of Fame (as the first Ford C. Frick winner in June, 1978), National (USA) Sportswriters and Broadcasters Hall of Fame (March, 1972), The American Sportscasters Association Hall of Fame (1985), The Radio Hall of Fame (1988), The Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, The University of Alabama Communication Hall of Fame (1995) and was enshrined to Monument Park at Yankee Stadium (July 25, 1999). Once he sat next to a weakened Lou Gehrig in the dugout before a game. Gehrig would soon die from the disease that forced his emotional, early farewell from the game. “Mel, sometimes your descriptions of the game are the only thing that keeps me going.” Mel went into the tunnel and cried like a baby. How about that?

1983 Golden Spikes Award Winner - Dave Magadan 124
Never before or since has an Alabama baseball player had a season at the plate like David Magadan did in 1983. The Alabama junior shattered school and Southeastern Conference records that still stand today in becoming the 1983 Golden Spikes Award winner, presented annually by the United States Baseball Federation. Magadan, who concluded the 1983 season with six school career records (at-bats, runs, hits, RBI, doubles, total bases and batting average), was a major contributor in Alabama’s national runner-up spot to Texas at the College World Series. In addition, he paced the Crimson Tide to the NCAA South Region and Southeastern Conference titles en route to a 46-11 record, one the most successful campaigns in school history. He batted an incredible nation-leading .525 (114-for-217) as a junior, was voted the 1983 College “Player of the Year” by Baseball America, and led the team in hits (114), doubles (31), total bases (180) and slugging percentage (.829) during his record-setting campaign. Magadan was a consensus First-Team All-America selection by The American Baseball Coaches Association, The Sporting News, Baseball America and The National Collegiate Baseball Writer’s Association during the 1983 season and was a three-time All-SEC selection at the Capstone. He hit safely in his initial 27 games as a freshman in 1981 and batted an incredible 10-for-11 (.909) at the 1983 SEC Tournament in Starkville, Miss., which included a five-hit game (2 doubles, 2 HRs) against Florida in second-round action en route to being named the Most Valuable Player. He also set the CWS record by hitting safely in his first eight trips to the plate and wound up batting .550 (11-for20) at Omaha, Neb., in five games. After his freshman season at Alabama, he led his American Legion team to the 1981 American Legion World Series Championship and in the process was named the “Sports Club Amateur of the Year” when Tampa Post 248 won the national title. Magadan is also recognized in the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum for his amateur accomplishments in 1981. The Tampa, Fla., native played in 162 games in his Alabama career and batted .439 (268-for-610) with 64 doubles, 14 home runs and 188 RBI. His .439 batting average still ranks among the leaders in Division I baseball and still sits atop the SEC standings as the highest career average in league history. Magadan still holds Alabama records for highest single-season batting average (.525, 1983), highest career batting average (.439, 1981-83), single-season hits (114, 1983), single season doubles (31, 1983) and career doubles (64, 1981-83) and single-season RBI (95, 1983). He also set the Alabama standards for highest batting average for a freshman (.399, 1981) and junior (.525, 1983) and most RBI (95, 1983) by a junior. Magadan also shares the single-game record with five hits, a feat he accomplished an Alabama record three times against Alabama Christian (April 16, 1983), Florida (May 13, 1983) and Arizona State (June 4, 1983). He was drafted by the Boston Red Sox out of Tampa’s Jesuit High School and then was one of six UA players taken in the 1983 MLB Draft. He signed with the New York Mets and was assigned to the Columbia, S.C. Mets in the Class A South Atlantic League in his first pro ball assignment. In that first summer, Magadan batted .336 with three home runs and 32 RBI for the Class A Mets. Magadan made his major league debut against the Chicago Cubs on Sept. 17, 1986, as the starting first baseman at Shea Stadium. In the game, Mags went 3-for-4 with two RBI, including the game-winner in the eighth inning that clinched the National League Eastern Division title for the eventual World Champions. In 1990, he finished third in the NL batting race with a career-best .328 (148-for-451) average. He played 15 years in the Major Leagues before retiring from the

After his playing days, he was named the roving minor league hitting instructor by the San Diego Padres before being promoted as the hitting coach for the National League San Diego Padres prior to the 2003 season. After four seasons with the Padres, Magadan was named the hitting coach for the Boston Red Sox in 2007, a position he currently holds. In June of 2010, Magadan joined former UA All-American and head coach Joe Sewell as the only two players from Alabama to be inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame.

1999 Dick Howser Finalist - Andy Phillips Andy Phillips is clearly the most decorated player in the history of Alabama baseball. A member of coach Jim Wells’ first signing class, Philips rewrote the UA record books and in the process took the Crimson Tide baseball program to new heights with three trips to the College World Series in his four-year career. His impact was not limited to the Crimson Tide baseball family as his talents were recognized nationally by writers, broadcasters and professional scouts. A consensus All-America selection as a senior, Phillips was named the 1999 National Collegiate Baseball Writer’s Association District III Player of the Year and finished runner up to Baylor’s Jason Jennings as the winner of the Dick Howser Trophy, presented by the NCBWA to the best player in college baseball. Florida State’s Marshall McDougal, Cal State Fullerton’s Spencer Oborn and Rice’s Mario Ramos were also finalists for the Howser Trophy, named for the former Florida State infielder and Kansas City Royals manager. Phillips was also named First-Team All-American by the NCBWA as well as member of the 1999 NCBWA Super All-American squad. In addition to the NCBWA honors, Phillips was also named FirstTeam All-American by College Baseball Insider and was Third-Team All-America selection by Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball and the American Baseball Coaches Association. The Demopolis native wrapped up his Alabama career as the school record-holder in eight career statistical categories, including most games played (244), games started (224), at-bats (905), runs scored (222), total hits (322), home runs (61), RBI (224) and total bases (590). In addition, he ranked second in career doubles (63) and triples (11), and was third in assists (537) and 10th in walks (86). As a senior in 1999, Phillips set the standard of excellence for Crimson Tide baseball. He played in 64 games and batted .398 (103-for259) with 22 home runs and 66 RBI. Phillips also added 71 runs scored 22 doubles, 30 walks and 16 stolen bases for an Alabama team that captured the SEC Tournament Championship and finished third at the College World Series. He also set Alabama single-season records for total bases (203) and set records for most home runs (22) and RBI (66) by a shortstop at Alabama. The 22 home runs are the most by an Alabama senior. The former Tide shortstop also set the SEC record with a 36-game hitting streak during his final season at Alabama, breaking the old standard of 33 games held by LSU second baseman Todd Walker (1993). During his record-setting hitting streak, Phillips batted .407 (66-for162) with 17 home runs and 45 RBI. In 1998, he was named The Sporting News National Player of the Week (April 1, 1998) when he batted .500 (8-of-16) with six runs scored, three home runs and 11 RBI in wins over Southern Mississippi and Mississippi State. Phillips was just as successful off the field, earning his degree from Alabama in 1999. He was an active member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and is accomplished singer. Twice during his career he sang the National Anthem prior to a Crimson Tide home game at Sewell-Thomas Stadium. A three-time All-SEC selection, Phillips was also named to the 1999 SEC Good Works Team for his many hours of community service. Following an 11-year professional baseball career, which included five seasons in Major League Baseball, Phillips returned to Alabama as the hitting and infield coach, beginning with the 2011 season. Phillips’ MLB debut came in 2004 for the New York Yankees, when he homered on the first pitch he saw as a major league player. He played for the Yankees from 2004-07, before playing his final season in the majors with the Cincinnati Reds in 2008. Prior to returning to Alabama, Phillips played two seasons in the Nippon Professional League in Japan.

2002 Johnny Bench Award - Jeremy Brown 126
The most decorated catcher in University of Alabama baseball history, Jeremy Brown was named the winner of the 2002 Johnny Bench Award, presented annually by the Greater Wichita Area Sports Commission to the nation’s best catcher. “The Greater Wichita Sports Commission would like to congratulate all of the award finalists and especially Jeremy Brown, the 2002 Johnny Bench National Collegiate Catcher of the Year,” Bob Hanson, President and CEO of the Greater Wichita Sports Commission, said. “Jeremy represents the University of Alabama in a remarkable manner.” Brown edged out Southern California junior Alberto Concepcion and University of Houston junior Chris Snyder to win the 2002 award. “Wow, this is great,” Brown said upon receiving the 2002 Johnny Bench Award. “I’d like to thank my family and my coaches for all of their support over the past four years. It’s truly an honor to receive this award from the best acatcher of all time, Mr. Johnny Bench.” It is the highest honor awarded to an Alabama baseball player since David Magadan earned the 1983 Golden Spikes Award, presented annually to the best player in college baseball. The Golden Spikes award is the baseball equivalent to college football’s Heisman Trophy award. Bench, a native of Oklahoma City, Okla., and Major League Baseball Hall of Famer, was on hand to present the award. Bench was the starting catcher for the Cincinnati Reds back-to-back World Series championship teams in 1975 and 1976. Former Los Angeles Dodger first baseman Steve Garvey delivered the keynote address to more than 350 people in attendance at the Grand Eagle Ballroom at the downtown Wichita Hyatt Regency hotel. The banquet recognizes the achievements and dedication of local youth, high school, college and professional coaches in the Wichita area. Brown was joined in attendance by his mother, Lila, and younger brother Dustin. Alabama head baseball coach Jim Wells was also in attendance to see his All-American catcher win the award symbolizing the best college catcher in the nation. A two-year starter behind the plater for Alabama, Brown was a runner up to Baylor’s Kelly Shoppach in the 2001 voting, is one of two Southeastern Conference catchers to win the Johnny Bench Award, joining LSU’s Brad Cresse, who won the inaugural award in 2000. A native of Hueytown, Ala., he appeared in 66 games for Alabama as a senior and compiled a .320 average (70-for-219) with 11 home runs and 64 RBI. He also set the UA single season record with 69 walks, surpassing the previous total of 66 walks held by Bret Elbin in 1983. Brown made only one error for Alabama in his final 119 games at the Capstone. He set the UA single-season record with a 1.000 fielding percentage in 2001 and made only one error in 2002, compiling a .998 fielding clip. He was second in the SEC with seven pickoffs and ranked among the league leaders by throwing out 43 percent of his attempted base stealers. A first-round pick of the Oakland Athletics, Brown concluded his UA career as the all-time leader for games played (251), games started (251), runs scored (244), walks (207) and putouts (1,660). He is the only player in SEC history with 300 career hits (307) and 200 career walks (207). In addition, Brown was named Second-Team All-America by the National Collegiate Baseball Writer’s Association and was a FirstTeam All-SEC pick for the second consecutive year. Brown was also chosen as the District III Player of the Year by the National Collegiate Baseball Writer’s Association and was a finalist for the 2002 Dick Howser Trophy, presented by the St. Petersburg Area Chamber of Commerce and Verizon.

2003 District III Player of the Year - Beau Hearod Beau Hearod went where few University of Alabama players had gone before. The slugger from Jennings, La., had a phenomenal season and in the process led the Southeastern Conference in both home runs (20) and RBI (82) in his final campaign with the Crimson Tide. A first-team All-SEC selection, Hearod became the first Alabama player to lead the SEC in home runs since Doug Duke smacked a league-leading 27 four-baggers as a junior in 1986. Overall, Hearod was just the fourth player in Alabama history to lead the league in home runs, joining Stan Moss (7, 1968), Butch Hobson (13, 1973) and Duke as the league’s home run champ. Hearod was also the first Crimson Tide slugger to lead the league in RBI since Duke’s league best total of 82 RBI in 1986. After putting up those staggering numbers during the rugged 62game season, which included 34 games against SEC teams, Hearod was tabbed as the District III Player of the Year by the NCBWA, marking the second consecutive year and the third time since the inception of the award in 1999 an Alabama player has been bestowed player of the year honors in District III. Former UA catcher Jeremy Brown, a first-round draft selection by the Oakland Athletics and 2002 Johnny Bench award winner, was named the 2002 District III Player of the Year following an outstanding senior season. Andy Phillips, the school’s all-time home run leader, won the inaugural District III Player of the Year award in 1999 and was one of the three finalists for the prestigious Dick Howser Trophy, which is presented to the NCBWA Player of the Year.

Wade LeBlanc had a freshman season like no other in the 111-year history of the University of Alabama baseball program. The talented freshman left-hander racked up just about every post-season award available as he became the first rookie in Crimson Tide baseball history to earn National and SEC “Freshman of the Year” honors. He was tabbed the 2004 National Freshman of the Year by Collegiate Baseball newspaper after being named the 2004 SEC Freshman of the Year at the conclusion of the regular season. “That’s unreal,” LeBlanc said when told of the news via telephone. “I thought I had a pretty good season, but the way it ended (against Mississippi State), I did not think I had any chance. I thought I had the ability to have a good season, but nothing quite like this.” LeBlanc said he thought the turning point in the season was the back-to-back wins against No. 6 LSU and No. 10 Florida in early May. He beat LSU 8-2 on May 1 in Baton Rouge and then shutout the highpowered Gators in Tuscaloosa on May 7, allowing just four hits and striking out nine batters. “I guess the LSU and Florida games back-to-back really told me what kind of season I was having,” he said. “This whole season was crazy, I never thought I would have a year like this and be named National and SEC Freshman of the Year. This is a great honor.” LeBlanc finished his outstanding freshman season as he set Alabama freshman records for innings pitched (112.2), strikeouts (98) and complete games (8) and tied the UA freshman record with eight wins on the mound. In 16 games, including 15 starts, LeBlanc posted an 8-4 record and 2.08 ERA this season. He worked 112 2/3 innings and allowed 87 hits, 37 runs and 26 earned runs, with 26 walks and 98 strikeouts. He also threw eight complete games and pitched three shutouts for the Crimson Tide. In addition to his freshman records, LeBlanc also ranks among the school’s top 10 single-season leaders in several categories. His eight complete games tied Gene Lary (1955) for second place on the school’s single-season list. The three shutouts also tied Mike Innes (1968) and Drew Blocker (1974) for third-place on the singleseason shutout charts. LeBlanc’s 112.2 innings pitched tied Dean Hayes (1983) for seventh place on the single-season innings list. The 98 strikeouts tied Jarrod Kingrey (1998) and Steve Shoemaker (1994) for 10th place on the single-season charts at UA. In addition, LeBlanc was tabbed a Third-Team All-American by both the National Collegiate Baseball Writer’s Association (NCBWA) and Baseball America. He was the only freshman named to the 2004 Baseball America All-American team. LeBlanc was also named to the 2004 Freshman All-SEC team and was a Second-Team All-SEC selection as voted by the league’s 12 head coaches. SEBaseball.com tabbed also tabbed him as the 2004 SEC Freshman of the Year as well as a First-Team All-SEC selection. LeBlanc was also selected to the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) All-South Region team. LeBlanc was drafted by the San Diego Padres in the second round of the 2006 MLB Amateur Draft. He made his Major League debut on Sept. 8, 2008 for the Padres. Through the 2010 season, LeBlanc’s appeared in 40 games, 38 as a starter for the Padres. He has a 12-16 overall record. In 2010, LeBlanc had an 8-12 record with a 4.25 ERA, while making 25 starts for the National League West team.

2009 SEC Player of the Year - Kent Matthes Alabama right fielder Kent Matthes wrapped up a remarkable senior season by winning Southeastern Conference Player of the Year honors and being tabbed a consensus All-American. Matthes is the first Alabama player to win SEC Player of the Year honors since the league began presenting the award in 1993. “Kent Matthes had a great year and deserves this honor,” Alabama head coach Jim Wells said. “It has been great to sit in the dugout and watch him do the things he has done this year. He has had a great year and put up some incredible numbers. You read sometimes about guys having years like this, but he usually isn’t on your team. This year we have that player and it has been fun watching him on and off the field.” He was also named first-team All-American by every baseball publication, including the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA), Baseball America, Collegiate Baseball, National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA), Rivals and PING. “It is a great honor to be recognized by the best college baseball league with all the talented players we have in the SEC,” Matthes said. “It is an honor to be named SEC Player of the Year and to be able to accomplish the feat as a senior. This has been an incredible season and I am happy to be a part of this team.” “I was looking to take advantage of my senior year and make the most of it. I worked hard in the off-season with Dax (Norris) and I got hot early and hit a lot of home runs and they kept coming. I tried to stay focused on winning each game and not the stats.” The senior was named the 2009 NCBWA District III Player of the Year and was a finalist for Golden Spikes Award, a semifinalist for the Dick Howser Trophy and a member of the ABCA All-South Region team. The Orlando, Fla., native hit .358 with 28 home runs and 81 RBI for the Crimson Tide. He led the SEC in home runs, RBI, total bases (174) and slugging percentage (.883). He was also third in runs scored (65) and sixth in hitting. Matthes set the Alabama single-season record with 28 home runs, which tied him for the national home run lead with Middle Tennessee State’s Bryce Brentz. Matthes is the fifth NCAA statistical national champion in school history. He broke the UA single-season home run record with his 28th home run against South Carolina on May 20 at the SEC Tournament. He slugged his 27th home run of the season in the Tide’s regular season finale at Auburn on May 16 to tie Doug Duke’s single-season home run record set in 1986. He had four multi-home run games and one walk-off home run in 2009. In addition, 16 of his 28 home runs have tied the game or given Alabama the lead, including 10 go-ahead home runs. He also has nine game-winning RBI. In March, he set the Alabama record with a home run in six straight games and was twice named National and SEC Player of the Week. He hit for the cycle on Feb. 24 against Nicholls State and followed that up with a walk-off 10th inning home run the next day. Matthes was drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the fourth round of the 2009 MLB Amateur Draft.

SEC Tournament Information
The Southeastern Conference Baseball Tournament will be held at Regions Park in the Birmingham suburbs from May 25-29, 2011. This is the 13th consecutive year the tournament has been played in Hoover and the 15th time overall. The SEC Tournament will follow an eight-team double elimination format that is modeled after the College World Series. The tournament field includes the top teams from the league’s Eastern and Western Divisions plus six at-large bids based on conference winning percentage. The tournament began in 1977 with the first and second place teams from the Eastern and Western Division meeting at campus sites to determine the league’s automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament. In 1986, the SEC abandoned divisional play and the top four teams in the league standings qualified for the post-season tournament at campus sites. The 1990 SEC Tournament was played at the Hoover Met, the first off-campus tournament in league history. The format remained the same until the league expanded to 12 teams in 1992. In 1992, the league went back to divisional play and invited the top four teams from each division to the SEC Tournament at the Superdome in New Orleans after Arkansas and South Carolina were added to the league. The SEC instituted another change in 1993 as the league returned to divisional play and had two separate divisional tournaments over the next three years. The overall SEC champion and NCAA automatic qualifier was the team with the best conference winning percentage from the regular season, plus the post-season tournaments. Alabama won the SEC Western Division tournament in Starkville in 1995, the first of three straight tournament wins for the Tide. The 1996 and 1997 tournaments were also eight-team events in Hoover and Columbus, Ga., respectively, but introduced one-game play-ins. The current format was adopted in 1998 and is being used for the 13th consecutive year. Alabama is second all-time with seven SEC Tournament titles, with its last coming in 2003. LSU leads the way with nine SEC Tournament championships, including the last two in a row. Overall, nine of the 12 SEC teams have won at least one SEC Tournament crown since 1977. A total of 17 different head coaches have won at least one SEC Tournament championship. Former Alabama head coach Jim Wells and former LSU coach Skip Bertman have the most all time with six championships. Former Mississippi State head coach Ron Polk has five tournament titles. Florida has the most coaches to win the SEC Tournament with three, including Jay Bergman (1981), Jack Rhine (1982) and Joe Arnold (1984, 1988 and 1991). Alabama has been involved in the two largest championship game crowds in tournament history. The Crimson Tide’s 9-3 win over Arkansas in the 1999 SEC Championship game on May 23 drew 16,165 fans, the largest crowd in tournament history and second-largest crowd in Regions Park annals. The Tide’s 6-2 win over South Carolina on May 26, 2002 drew 13,367 fans, the second-largest in title game in tournament lore. It seats 10,800 for baseball, but can accommodate over 16,000 when the patio, banquet and side grassy areas are used. The stadium also houses 12 suites and state-of-the-art dressing and training rooms. Wireless internet access was added in 2004, concourse and signage renovation was done in 2005 and a second-level pressbox expansion, new stadium seating and an exterior facelift in 2007 completed a $4.5 million renovation project. A new video scoreboard was added in 2008. The SEC will keep its conference baseball tournament in suburban Birmingham through 2012.
SEC Tournament Seeding: The two division champions shall be automatically seeded number one and number two based on winning percentage in conference competition. The rest shall be seeded numbers three through eight based on winning percentage without regard to division. Ties will be broken in the following manner: Two-Team Tie: When two teams are tied for a finish, the following procedure will be used. (1) Won-lost results of head-to-head competition between the two tied teams. If they are divisional opponents: (2) Won-lost percentage within their division (over the 15-game SEC division schedule). (3) Won-lost percentage of the two teams versus the No. 1 team in their division (and proceeding through the No. 6 team, if necessary). If two teams are not divisional opponents: (2) Won-lost record of the two teams versus the No. 1 seed using common opponents only (and proceeding through the No. 8 seed, if necessary). (3) Coin flip by the Commissioner. Three-Team Tie (or more): When three or more teams are tied for a finish, the following procedure will be used (in descending order until the tie is broken): Once the tie has been reduced to two teams, the two-team tiebreaker procedure as stated in No. 1 above will be used. If all three teams are common opponents: (1) Total won-lost percentage of games played among the tied teams. (2) Won-lost percentage of the tied teams versus the No. 1 seed and proceeding through the No. 8 seed, if necessary, using common opponents only. (3) If three or more teams still are tied, the Commissioner will conduct a draw.
