/// A LEGACY OF SUCCESS ///
1998 BIG EAST CHAMPIONS (REGULAR SEASON & TOURNAMENT)
R
utgers baseball is about winning and a commitment to playing the game the right way. Players who come through the program get a chance to grow on and off the field and are in a great position to play at the next level. In the last 15 years, more than 25 players have gone onto the professional ranks, including six players drafted in the top six rounds. The 2000 team, which won the BIG EAST regular season and tournament championships, featured 18 players who have played professionally at some level in the United States and two others who have played professionally overseas. The 2007 squad tied the school record for victories with 42 and hit the second-most home runs in school history with 63. The group’s run production of 474 and their RBI total of 425 were both second-most all-time. Scouts took notice with a record six Scarlet Knights selected in the 2007 MLB Draft. The 2010 squad established the school record for home runs in a season with 71. The pipeline to the pros continues each season with Scarlet Knights frequently represented in the Major League Baseball First Year Player Draft. Recently, Patrick Kivlehan was selected in the fourth round by the Seattle Mariners in 2012 after winning the BIG EAST Player of the Year. Pitcher Rob Smorol is the latest RU pro after signing on with the Boston Red Sox organization in 2013. Driven by a knowledgeable coaching staff committed to fundamentals and carried out by determined student-athletes, the baseball program has risen to among the nation’s best, debunking the theory that northern schools cannot compete nation-
ally. While practicing in cold temperatures and hitting indoors might not be the ideal conditions for preparation, especially when teams like Oklahoma, Jacksonville and Old Dominion are on the early portion of the schedule, it toughens the team and provides greater resolve heading into the season. Over the years, Rutgers has shown that it can win in the BIG EAST (2003 Regular Season Champions and 2007 BIG EAST Regular Season and Tournament Champions), compete with the nation’s top teams (with several wins against top 25 teams) and is deserving of NCAA Tournament consideration (six bids since 1998). The heart and soul of the team is its players - a tight-knit group of Jersey kids who play their hearts out each and every game and play the game the right way. • When Fred Hill took over the Rutgers baseball program in 1984, the Scarlet Knights were coming off a 13-22 record and had not advanced to the postseason since the 1970 season. Just two years later, Hill led Rutgers to the 1986 Atlantic 10 Championship and a spot in the NCAA Tournament. Rutgers would win the next eight regular season titles and, starting in 1986, four of the next six tournament championships. • In 1987, Rutgers posted its first-ever 30-win season, capturing 36 victories, while in 1988, the team eclipsed that mark with 38 wins, including its first NCAA Tournament victory (6-1 vs. Clemson) under Hill. • In 1990, Rutgers posted a 37-19 mark, won its first of back-toback Atlantic-10 Tournament titles, and came within one win of the College World Series by advancing to the final of the 1990 Northeast Regional in Waterbury, Conn. After losing the opening game, 3-2, to North Carolina, the Scarlet Knights rattled off three-consecutive wins to advance to the finals versus undefeated Georgia. Needing two wins to knock off the Bulldogs, Rutgers won the first, 4-3, before falling in the final, 20-9. Georgia would not lose another game on its way to the 1990 National Championship.

2014 RUTGERS BASEBALL MEDIA GUIDE
• Despite leaving the Atlantic 10 following the 1995 season, Rutgers still ranks among the all-time leaders in the conference in regular-season titles (first with 10), tournament titles (first with six) and tournament wins (third with 26).
/// A LEGACY OF SUCCESS ///
FRED HILL EARNED HIS 1,000TH CAREER VICTORY ON APRIL 17, 2010 23 in 2002. It was ranked No. 29 by Collegiate Baseball in 2004. In 2007, Rutgers finished No. 30 nationally in the final Collegiate Baseball National poll and was ranked as high as No. 23 in the Baseball America poll at the end of the regular season. RU was ranked in three of Collegiate Baseball’s weekly polls in 2007.
• In 1996, Rutgers moved to the BIG EAST Conference and, just two years later, captured both the regular season (17-3) and tournament titles. Rutgers repeated the feat twice more, in 2000, winning the regular season (18-5) and tournament crowns, and in 2007 with a school-record 20-7 league mark and tournament title. The Scarlet Knights also captured the 2003 Regular Season Championship. RU is one of only three teams to win both the outright regular season and league tournament in the same season. • From 1996 to 2001, Rutgers finished either first or second in the BIG EAST regular season standings and finished no lower than fourth in each of its first six seasons. In 2002, RU finished fourth in the regular season, but advanced to the BIG EAST Championship game for the third time in seven seasons. • Following its fourth-place finish in 2002, Rutgers captured the 2003 BIG EAST Regular Season Championship (its third since 1998), despite having 16 newcomers and just one senior pitcher on the roster. • Rutgers has appeared in the NCAA Tournament 11 times under Hill’s watch, serving as the No. 1 seed and host for the 2000 Regional at Upper Montclair, the No. 2 seed at the 2001 Regional in Lincoln, Neb., and the No. 2 seed in the 2007 Charlottesville Regional, featuring No. 3 seed Oregon State, the eventual National Champion. In 2001, Rutgers advanced to the regional final, before the College World Series-bound Cornhuskers rallied for a 14-10 victory in the final inning. In 2003, RU traveled to Tallahassee, Fla., and went 1-2 in the NCAA Tournament, beating Jacksonville, 8-5, in the second round before losing to top-ranked Florida State, 17-7. In 2007, Rutgers took down Lafayette but was defeated twice by scores of 5-1 and 5-2 by eventual National Champion Oregon State. • In 30 seasons under Hill, Rutgers has enjoyed 24 winning campaigns and 19 seasons of 30 or more wins. Three times since 2000 - 2000, 2001 and 2007 - the Scarlet Knights eclipsed the 40-win mark, including a program-best 42-17 record in 2001 and a schoolrecord tying win total of 42-21 in 2007.
• Rutgers has been ranked nationally during stretchs of the last 15 years, including a high point of No. 14 (Baseball America) in 2000. Rutgers was ranked as high as No. 25 nationally in 2003 and No.
• Rutgers has had its share of All-Americans in the last 20 seasons, including two in 1999 and 2000. In 2000, shortstop Darren Fenster was the first Scarlet Knight to be named a First Team All-American since Jeff Torborg in 1963, and was one of 10 finalists for the Dick Howser Trophy, given annually to college baseball’s top performer. In 2002, Rutgers’ Bobby Brownlie was named one of five finalists for the Golden Spikes award, given each year to the top amateur baseball player in the nation. In 2004, outfielder Jeff Frazier earned several All-America awards and was a finalist for the Dick Howser Trophy as well. Frazier’s younger brother, Todd, was named a Freshman All-American in 2005 and garnered consensus First Team AllAmerica laurels in 2007. He was also a semifinalist for the Brooks Wallace College Player of the Year Award, as well as a National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association District Player of the Year. In 2010, Pat Biserta was honored as an All-American while Steve Nyisztor and Tyler Gebler were each named Freshman All-Americans. Patrick Kivlehan earned the honor in 2012 after winning the first BIG EAST league triple crown in history. • Bobby Brownlie represented the Scarlet Knights on Team USA in the summer of 2001 and established himself as the team’s top hurler. He posted a 7-0 mark, including a 0.84 ERA, and allowed just 32 hits (30 singles) in 53.2 innings. He was also named the Louisville Slugger Preseason National Player of the Year in 2001. Todd Frazier represented Rutgers on the 2006 USA Baseball squad, guiding the team to the International University Sports Federation (FISU) World Championship Gold Medal in Havana, Cuba. Frazier, who started 22 of the National Team’s 28 games, played primarily right field, finishing with a .241 batting average (19-for-79), 11 RBI and 17 runs scored, including a double, triple and four home runs. • Rutgers’ success is well-chronicled in the summer months as well. RU has frequently sent players to the Cape Cod League, including Cape All-Stars David DeJesus (Chatham, 1999), Bobby Brownlie (Falmouth, 2000), Val Majewski (Falmouth, 2001), Jeff Frazier (Chatham, 2003), Todd Frazier (Chatham, 2005) and the trend continued in 2010 with Casey Gaynor (Orleans). In 2004, Johnny Defendis and Jeff Grose played with Chatham and Todd Frazier was named one of the Top 20 prospects on the Cape in 2005, playing for the A’s. In the summer of 2010, Steve Nyisztor was named the Most Valuable Player and Top Prospect of the prestigious Northwoods Baseball League. Jeff Melillo earned Perfect Game 2012 Summer Collegiate All-America First Team status after winning the batting title (.404) in the New England Collegiate Baseball League.

/// A PIPELINE TO THE PROS /// 11-straight seasons. He earned a spot on the 1996 NL All-Star team and hit over .300 twice in his career. He stole 30 or more bases in nine straight seasons and had a .286 career batting average. Echevarria made his MLB debut in 1996 and spent the 2002 season with the Chicago Cubs, where he hit .306 in 98 atbats. His best season was 1999, when he played in 102 games and hit .288 with 11 home runs for the Colorado Rockies.
TODD FRAZIER
• Rutgers has seen 72 players either drafted or signed by professional teams under Hill’s tenure, including 66 signed by major league baseball organizations. Since 2000, 41 players have gone onto play professionally from the Scarlet Knights. • On record, 82 players have been drafted or signed by a professional team going back to John Harkins being taken by the Cleveland Blues franchise in 1882. Walter Edward French has the distinction of being the first RU alumnus to win the World Series when his Philadelphia Athletics won the 1929 World Series.
• In 2004, DeJesus emerged as the Kansas City Royals’ starting centerfielder and compiled a .289 batting average in eight seasons with the franchise. In 2011, DeJesus appeared in 131 games for the Oakland Athletics, hitting 10 homers. He signed a two-year, $10 million contract with the Chicago Cubs in 2012, but was traded to Tampa Bay and appeared in the MLB Playoffs in 2013. DeJesus’ 2000 teammate, Bergmann, made his Major League debut during the 2005 pennant race with the Washington Nationals and has appeared with the Major League club for five seasons. Pitcher Jack Egbert made his MLB debut with the Chicago White Sox, working two games in “The Show” in 2009, while Jeff Frazier made his Major League debut in 2010 with the Detroit Tigers, playing in nine games with the club. Jeff’s brother Todd Frazier made his MLB debut for the Cincinnati Reds on May 23, 2011 versus the Philadelphia Phillies. He played in 150 games and the NL Wild Card game in 2013. DAVID DEJESUS
• There are currently two former Scarlet Knights - David DeJesus (Cubs) and Todd Frazier (Reds) - on major league rosters. In all, 11 players have reached “The Show” after playing for Hill, also including Eric Young (Dodgers, Rockies, Cubs, Brewers, Giants, Rangers, Padres), Val Majewski (Orioles), Darrin Winston (Phillies), Rob McDonald (Blue Jays, Tigers, Yankees, Mets), Angel Echevarria (Rockies, Brewers, Cubs), Pete Zoccolillo (Brewers), Jack Egbert (Chicago White Sox), Jason Bergmann (Nationals), Jeff Frazier (Detroit Tigers). • Eric Young, who also played football at Rutgers, broke into the majors in 1992 and was a starting second baseman for

BAINTON FIELD AT THE FREDERICK E. GRUNINGER CLASS OF ‘53 BASEBALL COMPLEX The Rutgers baseball program debuted a new field in 2007. Thanks to the $1.25 million donation - the single largest onetime cash gift by a living donor to Rutgers Athletics at the time - Ron and Pat Bainton gave to the program to use on a brand new state-of-the-art FieldTurf playing surface. FieldTurf, a synthetic surface used in professional and collegiate baseball, football and soccer stadiums across the country, allows the Scarlet Knights to practice on the field year-round without the worries of a frozen surface during the winter months. Dugouts and seating for 1,500 accentuate the field. The generous dona-
tion also provides for continued enhancements to the complex in the future. A new outfield wall was constructed prior to the 2009 season complete with new padding for the outfield fence. A new sound system was installed during the 2013 season. On March 24, 2007, Rutgers christened its brand new field with a doubleheader sweep of Georgetown. Ron Bainton was on hand for the first game and threw out the ceremonial first pitch with Senior Associate Athletic Director Jason Kroll, Head Coach Fred Hill and Rutgers University President Dr. Richard L. McCormick on hand to view the festivities at the new Bainton Field.

on Bainton’s friends in Bellevue, Neb., used to tease him about his football signed by former Rutgers coach Greg Schiano and inscribed Rutgers’ #1 Football Fan in Nebraska. “It should have said Rutgers’ only football fan in Nebraska, they would say,” recalls the 1962 graduate of Rutgers College. But things have changed some since the 2005 Insight Bowl appearance. The Scarlet Knights’ gridiron glory prompted Bainton’s Midwestern friends and neighbors to begin asking about Rutgers— not its football program but its academic standing. “Now people are considering sending their kids there,” he says. “That never would have happened without the university getting the exposure that came through the athletic program.”
HILL AND BAINTON
Now, if he and his wife, Pat, have their way, Rutgers is going to become even more well known outside of New Jersey, particularly in Omaha, which is home to the College Baseball World Series. In January of 2006, the couple gave $1.25 million to Rutgers baseball. Their gift, which was the single largest one-time cash gift by a living donor to Rutgers Athletics at the time, was used to purchase and install FieldTurf, a synthetic surface used in professional and collegiate baseball and football stadiums across the country. The new field was re-named Bainton Field in their honor. It provides the foundation for continued enhancements to the Frederick E. Gruninger and Class of 1953 Baseball/ Softball Complex.
“You know the movie Field of Dreams,” Bainton says. “If we build it, they will come. I really believe that.” A baseball lover since childhood, Bainton remembers day trips into New York City from his home in Ridgewood to see major league games. After he and his wife moved outside of Omaha 11 years ago, their attention turned to college ball and they became fixtures at the College Baseball World Series. Year after year, they noticed that southern teams often dominated the finals. So when the University of Nebraska began making appearances in the final eight, Bainton had to investigate. Traveling to the school’s Lincoln facility, he was bowled over by their field and decided Rutgers deserved nothing less.
“Because of Ron and Pat’s generous donation, we have one of the finest fields in the northeast,” says head baseball coach Fred Hill, “and it enables us to stay competitive.”
In the spring of 2006, the Baintons visited campus and met with the Scarlet Knights to explain their intentions. After warm thank-yous and handshakes all around, the couple stayed to watch the team warm up before their game against Lafayette. As they did, players made their way over to the couple individually to have a word.
Inclement weather can render natural grass fields unusable, particularly from January through March. “The FieldTurf allows for use of the baseball field during those winter months, giving the team an opportunity to train outdoors before embarking on a schedule that includes many early season games with schools in the south,” explains Jason Kroll, former Senior Associate Athletic Director for Development and Marketing. “More times than not, we had been relegated to practicing on the gravel of a parking lot, or worse, inside on the floor of the RAC. The first time we stepped onto an actual baseball field each year is usually the day of our first regular season game. Having FieldTurf changed all of that.” “Over the years, Rutgers has been a darn good team,” adds Bainton. “Coach Hill is one of the top coaches in the country and the student-athletes have phenomenal dedication. What Pat and I were trying to do with this gift was give them the opportunity to get to the highest level of Division I baseball.” The FieldTurf also made postponement or cancellation of games scheduled at Rutgers much less likely due to an enhanced draining system and ability to dry faster than natural grass, Kroll notes. Consequently, fewer adjustments to the schedule means there will be less of a strain upon the student-athletes missing classroom time. The donors are also convinced that a better facility helps keep New Jersey players in state while attracting others from out of state.
“Jim Jansen, a former pitcher for the Scarlet Knights, said, ‘Sir, unfortunately I won’t have the opportunity to play on this new field but I’m so thankful someone is doing this for Rutgers,’” Bainton recalls. “He was talking with us so long, Coach had to come over and tell him to go warm up!” The Baintons also found out that a number of players have suffered injuries of varying degree while practicing in the parking lot over the years when the field was unusable. Some of those injuries, such as dislocated shoulders, have been seasonending, while others have contributed to the list of nagging ailments that can cause performances to suffer over the course of a season. The team let the Baintons know at the time, because of their gift, future athletes will be spared the risk of training on unsuitable ground. That was the case beginning last season as the Scarlet Knights opened the 2007 campaign with a healthy roster. Making a difference in the lives of students isn’t new to the couple. They have long sponsored scholarships for Rutgers College students who demonstrate academic merit and financial need; each year two juniors and two seniors receive Bainton Family Scholarships. Recently he addressed those in attendance at the annual reception where students meet the donors who have helped them, Bainton shared his own background arnd explained why he and his wife
take such pleasure in helping students with their education. “It gives these students the opportunity to fully take in the Rutgers experience rather than having to drop out to earn more money for tuition,” he says. Financial hardship resonates with the philanthropist, who worked his way though school and relied on help from an older sister who never got the chance herself to attend college. “We lived in a town where people did well economically, but my parents struggled through the Depression and the World War II years,” Bainton recalls. “My sister was an honor roll student, but they couldn’t afford to send her to college, and being a female at a time when colleges were focused on supporting ex-military with the GI Bill, she didn’t get the opportunity to go.” A middle-of-the-road student in high school, Bainton flourished at Rutgers, he believes, because of the influence of three professors: the history department’s Richard McCormick and Warren Sussman, and then University President Mason Gross, who taught philosophy. In 2007, Bainton got the opportunity to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at the home opener with now Rutgers University President McCormick on the field to watch. “They opened my horizons beyond what I thought possible,” he says. From there, he embarked on a 30-year career with the Air Force, retiring in 1992 as a colonel, and eventually moving into private financial consulting work. Throughout those years, Rutgers remained dear to his heart. Grateful to the school’s administrative leaders and educators who have made his alma mater one of the best public research institutions in the country, Bainton is determined to do his part in stewarding this great state resource. Bainton Field, he says, is just the first step. Now that this is done, the goal is to move forward to get supporting pieces of the puzzle—practice areas, bullpens, batting cages, better dugouts, and finally a stadium effect for supporters,” he says. “That’s my view. The athletic program is important internally to the university and externally to the future of the university. Because of athletics, you won’t hear anybody asking what a Rutgers is anymore.”

FRED HILL
HEAD COACH • 31ST SEASON A coaching icon to baseball enthusiasts in the region, Fred Hill enters his 31st season at the helm of the Rutgers baseball program in 2014. After inheriting the program back in 1984, the baseball mentor has brought the Scarlet Knights to an elite status that includes 11 NCAA Tournament appearances, 12 regular season conference championships, eight conference tournament titles and more than 900 victories during his tenure in Piscataway. Hill’s players learn the game and progress under the veteran coach’s tutelage. They develop into superior athletes on the diamond, as evidenced by the more than 70 players Hill has seen go on to play professional baseball under his guidance. Hill became the 16th active Division I head baseball coach to earn 1,000 victories with a win against USF on April 17, 2010 in front of record crowd of 1,124 fans at Bainton Field. The veteran baseball mentor enters 2014 ranked 12th amongst active coaches in the nation with 1,089 wins. Beginning his 38th season in collegiate coaching in 2014, Hill remains as focused, committed and enthusiastic as he was back in 1984. That year, he accepted the challenge of coaching a team that was coming off a 13-22 record in 1983 and had not appeared in the NCAA Tournament in 14 years and proceeded to build Rutgers baseball into what it is today. Last season, Hill guided the Scarlet Knights to the semifinals of the BIG EAST Championships with two wins facing elimination. The team defeated College World Series participant Louisville in three-of-four meetings, including a 9-1 victory in the postseason. Three players earned BIG EAST honors, with three others singing professional contracts following the season. The program raised over $13,500 towards the Vs. Cancer Foundation off the field. 2012 saw Rutgers earn its 19th 30-win season under Hill, earning a spot in the BIG EAST Tournament. The team had four players voted All-BIG EAST, including BIG EAST Player of the Year Patrick Kivlehan. In addition, Kivlehan became the 19th player to become an All-American under Hill after winning the first BIG EAST league triple crown in history. The 2010 team reached the BIG EAST semifinals in Clearwater, Fla., as four players signed professional contracts after the season. After capturing the league regular-season and tournament titles in 2007, Hill’s 2008 squad was presented the challenge of replacing six of its eight position starters. Hill’s team rose to the challenge, however, with 23 victories while continuing its

ever-growing representation of Scarlet Knights in professional baseball when two members – Tom Edwards and Vic Cegles – signed professional contracts in the summer following the 2008 campaign. Hill, the 2007 ABCA East Region Coach of the Year, led the Scarlet Knights to both the BIG EAST Regular Season and Tournament Championship – the third time in a 10-year span he guided his club to both titles in the same season. Hill’s 2007 squad tied the school record for wins in a season with 42 and earned a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Charlottesville Regional – the 14th NCAA Tournament berth in his amazing coaching career. A move to the BIG EAST Conference in 1996 had little impact on the Scarlet Knights, as the winning continued. Following backto-back tournament appearances in 1996 and 1997, Rutgers captured both the regular season and tournament championship in 1998, posting a 33-16 mark along the way and advancing to the NCAA Regional at Tallahassee, Fla. The Scarlet Knights scrapped their way out of the losers’ bracket during the conference tournament and beat Notre Dame twice in as many days, including a 12-0 championship game win, to clinch the title. The following season, Rutgers finished 37-21, second in the BIG EAST, and took another step in the national picture with the program’s first-ever at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament (the six previous trips came from an automatic berth associated with winning the league championship). RU was sent to Lubbock, Texas, to compete in the NCAA Regional with Texas Tech, Wisconsin-Milwaukee and No. 1 Rice. The 2000 season featured another step in the building of the program, as RU once again captured the BIG EAST Regular Season and Tournament championships, posting its first 40-win season (40-18) along the way. In the BIG EAST Championship title game, then-freshman Bobby Brownlie, working on threedays rest, led RU to a 1-0 win with a complete-game shutout of in-state rival Seton Hall. Ranked as high as No. 14 nationally during the course of the season, Rutgers was selected to host an NCAA Regional at Yogi Berra Stadium in Upper Montclair, N.J., joined by North Carolina, Penn State and Army. The 2001 team set the school win mark once again, finishing the year 42-17, with a second-place finish in the BIG EAST. Another at-large NCAA Tournament berth, the program’s fourth-straight trip, sent the team to Lincoln, Neb., where RU came within one win of moving onto the Super Regional round. A 35-22 mark and a trip to the BIG EAST Tournament finals was not good enough in 2002, but RU returned to the NCAA Tournament in 2003 after winning the BIG EAST Regular Season Championship and advancing to the BIG EAST Championship game for the second-straight season. Hill’s teams won over 90 games from 2004 through 2006, reaching the semifinals of the 2006 BIG EAST Championship. A long-time high school coach in New Jersey, Hill began his col-
/// COACHING STAFF ///
legiate coaching career in 1977 at Montclair State University, serving as the head baseball and football coach for the Red Hawks. In seven seasons at Montclair State, Hill posted a 14891-2 mark, leading his team to two NJAC Championships and three NCAA tournament appearances, including the Division III World Series in 1983. (The following season, Hill’s first at Rutgers, Montclair State won the national championship with many of his players still in the program.) Just as successful on the gridiron, Hill led the MSU football program to a 55-13-4 record in seven seasons, including five NJAC titles. His team lost just one league contest in a five-year span from 1978 through 1982. A true representation of his successful contribution to the Montclair State program, the school’s athletic department retired his No. 24 jersey in February of 2010 – only the third number retired in school history. As a collegiate star at Upsala, Hill earned 13 varsity letters. Four letters came in baseball, where he led the team in batting twice. Four more came in football, where he led the team in rushing four times and was named the football team’s Most Valuable Back three times. Four more letters came in basketball, where he was voted Most Improved Player his senior year. He also earned a letter on the track team as a junior. Chosen as a Small College All-American following his final football season, Hill was honored by his alma mater in 1992 as a distinguished alumnus who has achieved excellence in his chosen profession. Following his outstanding collegiate career, Hill moved onto a professional career in the Washington Senators organization before beginning his storied coaching career. He began his coaching career as freshman football coach at Wayne Valley High School while also playing semi-pro baseball for the East Orange Soverals. His next move was to Clifford Scott High School, where he was an assistant baseball coach for five years and head coach for another six. During those six years Hill led the Scotties to a 94-58 record, two state sectional championships and also served time as head football coach. He
moved on to coach the Pequannock High School football team for seven years, while serving as an assistant Upsala as an assistant baseball coach during the spring. Hill totaled 19 years at the high school ranks. Hill lives in Verona, N.J., with his wife of more than 55 years, Evelyn. They are the proud parents of six children: Nancy, Fred, Linda, Jim, Tracey and Karen. They also have nine grandchildren: Jessica, Danielle, Brian, James, Natalie, Nicholas, Alexandra, Giselle and Giancarlo. A coaching-rich family, Fred’s brother Brian led the Orlando Magic to the NBA Finals as head coach in 1995 to highlight his career, while his son, Fred Jr., served as the head coach of the Rutgers men’s basketball program for four seasons through the 2009-10 season and is now an assistant at Seton Hall. His son Jim also played baseball at Montclair for his father and earned a championship.

JOE LITTERIO
ACTING HEAD COACH • THIRD SEASON JOE LITTERIO is in his third season back at Rutgers and serves as the acting head coach. He returned to Piscataway after serving as the head coach of Wagner College for 12 seasons. “I am extremely excited to be coming back home,” Litterio said after being hired. “It is very special to return to my alma mater and work under Coach Hill. He means everything to me and I have learned a lot from him over the years as a coach and as a person. I look to learn more and help continue the tradition of success in the Rutgers baseball program.” Litterio played for the Scarlet Knights and Hill as an infielder from 1990 to 1993. His teams won the Atlantic 10 regular season title all four years and earned bids to the NCAA Regionals in 1990, 1991 and 1993. The 1990 Rutgers team came within one win of advancing to the College World Series and recorded the most wins (four) in a single NCAA Tournament in school history. A Second-Team All-Atlantic 10 selection at second base after his junior season, Litterio recorded a .976 fielding percentage for a team that was ranked fourth in the nation in fielding. Litterio’s homecoming comes after a successful 12-year tenure at Wagner where he guided eight players to contracts with Major League teams, including 2009 AL Rookie of the Year and MLB All-Star Andrew Bailey. He leaves as the winningest coach in school history (240 wins), having led the Seahawks to seven postseason appearances after the program had only qualified once previously in school history. A tireless worker and recruiter, he won the 2009 Northeast Conference Coach of the Year after leading WC to a school-re-

GLEN GARDNER
DIRECTOR OF BASEBALL OPERATIONS • 24TH SEASON GLEN GARDNER is in his 24th season on the Scarlet Knights’ staff in 2014. One of the finest studentathletes in Rutgers history, Gardner has been one of the main contributors of the success of the program during his time “On the Banks.” He is in his sixth season as the Director of Baseball Operations, after serving the previous 18 seasons as an assistant coach. Gardner coordinates the Scarlet Knights’ oncampus recruiting efforts, oversees team travel and handles the day-to-day responsibilities of the program. Nationally-renowned for his hitting instruction and his results at Rutgers, Gardner has been lauded time and time again for his efforts during his 18 years as an assistant coach. He brought in some of the finest recruiting classes in the BIG EAST, helping to elevate Rutgers to national prominence. Gardner’s success as a coach is best exhibited by the success of his players. From 1998-2002, Rutgers posted a team batting average over .310 and several of its players ranked among the nation’s best. Darren Fenster (.433) and Joe B. Cirone (.405) finished in the top 40 nationally in 2000, while Billy McCarthy (.423) accomplished the feat in 2001. In 2003, RU posted a team average of .307, with a school-record 319 walks and .409 on-base percentage. In 2004, Jeff Frazier set the school’s career home run record (34) in just three seasons before his brother Todd Frazier eclipsed the mark in 2007 with a record 42 in the same span. Both were drafted after three seasons with Jeff going to the Detroit Tigers in the third round in 2004 and Todd going to the Cincinnati Reds in the first round in 2007.
In 2007, the Scarlet Knights belted a school record 63 home runs, highlighted by Todd Frazier’s school-record 22 blasts - a testament to Gardner’s results of the continued development of the players. His work with Todd Frazier transformed the shortstop into a First Team All-American and one of the top professional prospects in 2007. One of the most prolific hitters in Rutgers’ history, Gardner was a two-time All-America selection and, in 1997, was inducted into the Rutgers Olympic Sports Hall of Fame - one of 11 former baseball players who have earned the distinction. In his three seasons as an outfielder, he compiled a career .356 batting average with 23 home runs and 141 RBI. All three numbers rank among the Rutgers all-time top 10. After his junior year in 1987, the San Diego Padres drafted him in the 13th round, but he opted to stay at RU and was selected by the Atlanta Braves the following year. Gardner advanced to Burlington, Iowa (Class A) in the Atlanta Braves organization before being struck in the eye by a batted ball, which ended a promising professional career. Under Gardner’s tutelage, several Scarlet Knights have had outstanding seasons. He has seen several of his pupils continue on to the professional level. In the past 12 years, Rutgers has sent 26 hitters onto the professional ranks, including sixthround pick Billy McCarthy (Braves) in 2001, fourth-round pick David DeJesus (Royals and A’s) the season before and Midwest League All-Star Pete Zoccolillo (Brewers) in 1999. Gardner resides in Pt. Pleasant, N.J.

A
fter earning a spot in the BIG EAST semifinals last season, Rutgers baseball looks to continue its tradition of success as a member of the American Athletic Conference in 2014. A new-look roster features 19 newcomers to go with 14 returning letterwinners. With veteran head coach Fred Hill on a leave of absence since the fall, acting head coach Joe Litterio will lead the way for the Scarlet Knights until further notice. An alumnus of the program, Litterio is in his third season back on staff at RU after spending 12 years as the head coach at Wagner. “We have been having some quality practices leading up to our first weekend, as everything is coming together,” Litterio said. “It is all about learning the system this time of the year to prepare for the season. We may have some inexperience on the roster, but we are not lacking talented players. I look forward to getting started.”
OVERVIEW Enduring the loss of 15 letterwinners, including eight starters, the Scarlet Knights were picked seventh in the Preseason American Athletic Conference Baseball Coaches’ Poll. RU projects to put out an offense with the ability to mix power and speed, looking for the pitching staff to step up to win games.
entire rotation. The team returns five pitchers who saw action last season. “There is inexperience in the pitching staff, but that will lead to competition the first few weeks of the season,” Litterio said. “I expect everyone to compete, with the coaches working to figure out who is best for which role. I believe we have some quality arms and look forward to seeing who will step up.” Sophomore Howie Brey will begin as the Friday starter after leading the team with 24 relief appearances as a freshman. The left-hander had an ERA of 3.44 in 34.0 innings, collecting 26 strikeouts. Junior Jon Young slots next, making three midweek starts last season. His campaign was highlighted by a victory against Delaware in a 6.2-inning performance to win his first career start. Redshirt freshmen Kyle Driscoll and Kevin Baxter are expected to compete for the final spot in the rotation after sitting out all of last season. Both bring size to the mound and had successful high school careers. Seniors Slater McCue and Charlie Lasky are the veterans of the staff and bring experience and leadership to the unit. Also expected to play key roles out of the bullpen are sophomore Reed Shuttle, who made seven appearances last year, and redshirt freshman transfer Max Herrmann. Freshmen Ryan Fleming and Fernando Rosa have additionally showed the ability to compete right away on the mound in their first seasons of eligibility at the collegiate level
“I believe this is more of an offensive team that will put up runs,” Litterio said. “I think that with the experience we have in the field, we’ll also take that to the plate, being able to swing it and steal some bases. However, with any team, you need solid pitching to win games. We are going to need some guys to perform on the mound this season.” Due the cold weather the Scarlet Knights have been practicing in the Bubble to prepare for the upcoming season. The air-supported facility features a full-length turf football field to give the team space to throw and work defensively. The batting cages inside the Rutgers Athletic Center are used to take swings and perform hitting drills. “With the weather the way it is, the Bubble provides us an opportunity to work on everything we need to work on inside,” Litterio said.
PITCHING After graduating 100 percent of the weekend starting pitching from last season, the Scarlet Knights are tasked with replacing the

HOWIE BREY
/// 2014 SEASON OUTLOOK /// “Vinny had a great season last season, but he still has more room to grow,” Litterio said. “I think he has come back in better shape and he’s swinging the bat even better than he did last year. I know it’s tough to do average wise, but I believe he is going to put up more doubles and hit for more power this year.”
BRIAN O’GRADY
Also expected to see early action in the outfield are freshmen Mike Carter and Tom Marcinczyk. Both arrived at Rutgers after being four-year starters at the high school level, each holding the school hits record. Junior Joe D’Annunzio and senior Lou Clemente additionally provide depth to the group and could earn plate appearances at designated hitter.
INFIELD
CATCHER
Three seniors anchor the infield in what is expected to be a team strength. Nick Favatella returns to his second base position, having started the last 145 games dating back to his freshman season. He hit .379 in conference games to earn Second Team All-BIG EAST honors in 2013. After enduring injuries last season, Pat Sweeney returns at shortstop with 123 career starts under his belt. Due to the depth in the outfield, Brian O’Grady has made the move to first base. A stalwart in the lineup in his first three seasons, he earned BIG EAST All-Tournament Team status after hitting .500 in the event to help RU reach the semifinals.
Junior Michael Zavala returns to the team after missing the 2013 season due to injury. Serving as the backup in 2011 and 2012, he made 46 starts between catcher and designated hitter. He will be tasked with guiding a young pitching staff.
“We have a lot of leadership and experience in the infield this season,” Litterio said. “Nick, Pat and Brian are very familiar with the expectations we have in this program and will show the younger players the way.”
Devish will serve as the backup, having 16 games of experience. The sophomore made his debut at the position in the series-opening victory at No. 4 Louisville last year.
Over at third base, sophomore R.J. Devish has been in a battle with freshman Christian Campbell for the starting job. Both are versatile players, as Devish can also catch with Campbell having the ability to slide to shortstop if needed.
OUTFIELD Winning the BIG EAST batting title with a .407 average in league games last season, junior Vinny Zarrillo was named Preseason AllAmerican Athletic Conference in a vote of the league’s head coaches. He went 5-for-7 in the opening series last season and continued the momentum the rest of the way to establish himself as a threat in the middle of the order.
“Michael has been swinging the bat well, but he has also improved his defense,” Litterio said. “I want him to be able to step up and run the team this year. I believe from the catching spot you need a guy that can take charge of a team from on the field and be that captain on the field and I’m hoping he can do that.”
SCHEDULE The Scarlet Knights have traditionally put together one of the toughest schedules nationally and 2014 is no different. On the road for the first seven weekends of the season, RU will play six opponents that made the 2013 NCAA Tournament (12 games), including two away series versus teams that advanced to at least the Super Regionals (Oklahoma, Louisville). “I am very happy with the way our 2014 schedule shaped up,” Litterio said. “We kept with the same philosophy as in the past, looking to play quality opponents early in the season to prepare for the conference season. While the league is a bit different from the past, the competition will be just as challenging.” Rutgers will host 23 games at Bainton Field this year, starting with a March 5 contest against rival Seton Hall.

In addition to a major-league quality playing field, the facility also houses the Carpenter Complex – an adjacent four-diamond practice complex, which allows teams to take full-field batting practice while a game is taking place in the stadium. The top eight teams in the final regular-season standings will qualify for the 2014 American Athletic Conference Championship, which will utilize a pool format that comprises 13 games. Each team will play three games in a round-robin format within its pool, and the winners of each pool will meet in the May 25 final.

He’s got to be very proud of himself, the coaches certainly are proud of his accomplishment.” The third baseman took home four weekly league honors during the course of the season, including the BIG EAST Player of the Week on March 26 after collecting seven hits and reaching base safely in 12-of-15 plate appearances against Seton Hall in the first conference series.

Gardner, one of New Jersey’s top all-time athletes, came to Rutgers from Immaculata High School, where he was a First Team All-State choice in both football and baseball. Following his freshman season, Gardner was named Freshman All-America by Baseball America. He was drafted after his sophomore season by the San Diego Padres in the 13th round of the Major League Baseball Amateur draft. He chose to stay at Rutgers for his junior season and that year set nine single-season offensive records and earned All-America honors from Collegiate Baseball. He was a three-time Atlantic 10 choice and a three-time New Jersey College Baseball Association honoree. Following his junior season, Gardner was drafted by the Atlanta Braves and he began a professional career in that organization. He ended his career as the Rutgers alltime leader in six offensive categories and ranked in the top 10 in four others.
HARDING PETERSON, 1948-50 CLASS OF 1997 Peterson, the backstop for the 1950 Rutgers College World Series team, was a second-team All-America selection by the American Baseball Coaches Association and a first-team District II choice that year, as well. Known for his defensive ability, Peterson made just two errors in 27 games in 1950 while hitting .276 (27-98), with 21 runs, 23 RBI (second on team), 4 doubles and 2 triples. His best season as a collegian was in 1948, when he hit for a .312 average (10-32) with 7 RBI and 3 doubles. In his three varsity seasons, Peterson led his teams to a combined 57-16-2 record, highlighted by a third-place finish in the 1950 College World Series. Following his career at Rutgers, Peterson signed as free agent with Pittsburgh Pirates in 1950 but had his career interrupted by Korean War service. Following the war, Peterson played four years with Pirates until a broken arm in a home plate collision hastened his retirement. A well-respected baseball man, Peterson spent over 30 years with the Pirates, including stints as a player (4 years), manager (9 years), farm director and scouting director. He was named VP for player personnel in 1976 and named executive VP in 1979 and is possibly best known for the trade of C Manny Sanguillen to Oakland A’s for manager Chuck Tanner in 1976. His dealings helped bring the Pirates their World Series Championship in 1979 Peterson also spent two years with the Yankees - and was a Co-General Manager in 1990 and two more years with San Diego as a scout.

RUTGERS 1950 COLLEGE WORLD SERIES GAME-BY-GAME RECAP
T
he Scarlet Knights opened play on Thursday, June 15 in the opening game of the tournament against defending national champion Texas (22-5)... Texas took a 2-0 lead in the second on Frank Womack’s two-run homer, and Murray Wall pitched six shutout innings before giving up a run in the seventh... Trailing 2-1, Rutgers rallied to take the lead in the eighth, scoring three runs off Wall on three walks, two singles and an error... Wall walked home a run, and Rutgers first baseman Bob Suba stole home for another... Suba finished the game with three stolen bases, as Rutgers set a College World Series record with a total of seven for the game... Herman Hering steadied after giving up the early home run, and although he walked seven and struck out only one, he also allowed only three hits in going the distance for the win... Ray Van Cleef paced the attack, going three for four, as Rutgers won, 4-2. Saturday, June 17, Rutgers faced Wisconsin in a second-round winner’s bracket matchup before only 955 fans in steady drizzle... Tom Forster pitched a complete-game six-hitter, and Van Cleef went four-for-five with a double and a run scored to pace the Scarlet 5-3 win, and a 2-and0 record in the tournament.. On Monday, June 19, Rutgers met Washington State in the winner’s bracket final... The game was a terrific pitcher’s duel between Al Willenbrock for Rutgers and Rod Keogh for the Cougars... Willenbrock gave up an early home run to Ted Tappe of the Cougars, but the Scarlet tied it in the fourth on a triple by Jim Monahan and an infield out... That would prove to be the only hit off Keogh, but he walked eight and was frequently in trouble... In the seventh, Rutgers loaded the bases, with Willenbrock up... without warning, (Rutgers later said it was not a called play), the runner on third tried to steal home and was tagged out... As he broke, the runner on second started toward third, then hesitated, and was eventually run down and tagged out to complete an unusual double play, killing the potential rally... In the top of the ninth, Washing-

ton State loaded the bases with no outs... Don Paul grounded sharply to third baseman Steve Kalapos, who threw home for the force there... catcher Hardy Peterson then threw to first to double Paul, and Suba, the first baseman, then spotted Gordon Brunswick, the runner at second, trying to make a surprise dash to home... Suba threw back to Peterson, who tagged Brunswick to complete the triple play... It was the second of three triple plays in the CWS... In the top of the 10th, Washington State finally broke through on an outfield error, hit batter and a two-run double by Terry Carroll to take a 3-1 lead, and Keogh completed his one hitter by retiring the side in the bottom of the 10th... Washington State improved to 3-0, and Rutgers fell to 2-1... Van Cleef, after going seven-for-nine in the first two games was held to 0-for-5... On Wednesday, June 21, Rutgers came back from its one-hit outing to blow out Wisconsin 16-2...The Scarlet collected 11 hits, including two apiece by four different players, and the Badgers unraveled, committing seven errors... (Van Cleef was 1-for-6)... Herman Hering turned in his second complete game win of the tournament, scattering eight hits, and also contributed a triple and a single to the 11-hit attack... Wisconsin was eliminated at 2-2, and Rutgers joined Texas and Washington State at 3-1 (Texas had beaten the Cougars, 12-1, on Tuesday). Washington State drew the bye into the championship game, and Rutgers faced Texas for the second time, on Thursday, June 22.. The Scarlet went with second-round winner Tom Foster, but Texas knocked him out early, scoring three in the second, and five in the fourth on their way to a 15-9 win... Charlie Gorin went the distance for Texas, despite allowing 12 hits and nine runs, as the Longhorns out-hit Rutgers, 15-12...Texas went on to win the title over Washington State the next night, 3-0, while Rutgers finished third at 3-2... finishing the season at 17-4-1...Van Cleef was 2-for-4 in the final game to finish the CWS at .417 on 10-for-24, and was named the Most Outstanding Player.

/// SECTION 6: RUTGERS UNIVERSITY ///
ROBERT L. BARCHI is the 20th president of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. Since beginning his tenure on September 1, 2012, President Barchi has been overseeing preparations for integrating into Rutgers most units of the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, as outlined in the recently adopted New Jersey Medical and Health Sciences Education Restructuring Act. He has begun work on a university strategic plan (the first in more than 15 years) and was part of a statewide coalition of university, business, and labor leaders urging voter support of a $750 million bond act for higher education construction, which was approved by a wide margin in November. President Barchi announced on November 20, 2012 that all intercollegiate athletic teams on Rutgers’ New Brunswick campus will join the Big Ten Conference at a date to be determined.

/// PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY /// DR. ROBERT L. BARCHI PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY founded the Department of Neuroscience at Penn and served as its first chair; he also served as chair of the Department of Neurology. He was named the Fairhill Professor in 2002, a position that he still holds in emeritus status.
From 2004 to 2012, Dr. Barchi served as president of Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, nationally regarded as a top university dedicated to health sciences education and research. Prior to Jefferson, he was provost and chief academic officer of the University of Pennsylvania, an Ivy League institution founded in 1740. There, he had responsibility for Penn’s 12 schools, all academic programs, athletics, students, and faculty. Dr. Barchi was born in Philadelphia but spent his formative years not far from Rutgers in Westfield, N.J. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees from Georgetown University, and Ph.D. and M.D. degrees from the University of Pennsylvania. He completed specialty training at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and holds board certification in neurology. Throughout his career, Dr. Barchi has been active as a teacher and as an NIH-funded researcher in the fields of neuroscience and neurology, and he has published extensively in his field. He was elected to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences in recognition of his pioneering research on the structure and function of voltage-gated ion channels in nerve and muscle, and on the role these critical molecules can play in human disease. He was also elected to the American Society for Clinical Investigation and the Association of American Physicians and named a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Neurological Association, and the American Academy of Neurology. In 1972, Dr. Barchi began his academic career as a faculty member at Penn. Within a decade, he rose to become the David Mahoney Professor of Neurological Sciences. Between 1983 and 1996, he served as director of the Mahoney Institute of Neurological Sciences—an interdisciplinary, universitywide entity that he expanded to become the focus for Penn’s growth in neuroscience, encompassing the intellectual activities of more than 120 faculty members. Dr. Barchi
The University of Pennsylvania named Dr. Barchi as its provost and chief academic officer in 1999, and he served in this capacity until 2004. As provost, Dr. Barchi had responsibility for the university’s 12 schools and their academic programs and budgets and Penn’s intercollegiate athletics program, as well as for Penn’s students and faculty. During his tenure, he worked with president Judith Rodin to reassert the primacy of the academic mission in the direction of the university. He recruited new leadership to nine of the 12 schools at Penn and established a number of universitywide interdisciplinary educational and research institutes. He also led the university through a comprehensive strategic planning process. As president of Thomas Jefferson University, Dr. Barchi oversaw a period of tremendous growth. The university established three new schools—including the Jefferson School of Pharmacy, which graduated its first class in May 2012, and the Jefferson School of Population Health, the only school in the nation to offer a master’s degree in chronic care management. Overall student enrollment increased by 51 percent and annual degrees awarded rose by 54 percent. Dr. Barchi also expanded the reach of the campus, inaugurating the Partnership in Healthcare Education, an academic affiliation with the University of Delaware that offers dual-degree programs between the two institutions. Other accomplishments at Jefferson include successful implementation of an ambitious strategic plan that integrated the university’s clinical, education, and research missions; a comprehensive facilities master plan that supports those missions; and a major fundraising campaign that provides the resources necessary for success. During Dr. Barchi’s tenure, Jefferson established 22 new endowed professorships and 50 endowed scholarships, helping to ensure a healthy and diverse community of faculty and students. The university surpassed $300 million in fundraising under his leadership, twice the amount raised during the preceding eight-year period.
coupled with improved landscape design and signage, helped provide visitors and the Jefferson community a sense of place and connectedness to the compact urban campus in the heart of the city’s historic district. Dr. Barchi is married to Francis Harper Barchi, a tenure-track faculty member of the Rutgers School of Social Work. Before coming to Rutgers, she was a senior fellow in the Center for Bioethics at the University of Pennsylvania, where she was engaged in education and research activities relating to international research ethics. Francis Barchi holds a Ph.D. in social welfare, a master’s in bioethics, and a master’s in nonprofit leadership from the University of Pennsylvania, as well as a bachelor’s degree from Smith College. She is the former executive vice president of the Dana Foundation in New York, a post she assumed following a 20-year span as president of her own company, which provided protocol and strategic communication services for international clients. Francis Barchi’s research focuses on the social and behavioral factors that influence women’s health in southern Africa. In 2009, she completed the first major quantitative study on women’s autonomy and gender-based violence in Botswana, and she is the principal investigator on a study in that country examining the extent to which women’s understanding of HPV and cervical cancer influences their decision-making about prevention and treatment. She is currently part of a team responsible for ethics training of health professionals in Botswana, Tanzania, and Guatemala. As an avocation, President Barchi is an expert in the history and mechanical development of clocks and watches. In addition to collecting and conserving examples of these timepieces from the 17th and 18th centuries, he designs and constructs his own precision clocks in his basement machine shop. The Barchis, who have four adult children and one young dog, spend their leisure time at their home in coastal Maine where they are avid boaters and hikers.
During his presidency, Dr. Barchi also oversaw the transformation of Jefferson’s urban environment into a vibrant university campus. A coordinated construction program,
