2013 Baseball Media Information Note to the Media The 2013 UAB Baseball Media Guide has been assembled in an effort to assist you in your coverage of the Blazers. We have tried to anticipate many of your questions and hope the answers can easily be found on the following pages. However, if you have any additional questions or needs, please do not hesitate to contact the UAB Athletic Media Relations Office at (205) 934-0722. We appreciate your interest in UAB baseball and look forward to working with you throughout the year. There are certain policies and procedures laid out on this page by which we ask you to abide. These policies and procedures are designed to take your needs, as well as the needs of our student-athletes and coaches, into consideration and to create a good working situation for all. Coach Interviews All requests for interviews with head coach Brian Shoop and assistant coaches should be made through the Athletic Media Relations office. Please contact Ben Warnick, assistant director of media relations, to make the necessary arrangements. Player Interviews Interviews with our student-athletes are encouraged. All player interviews must be arranged through the Athletic Media Relations office. This policy is intended to ensure that all requests are filled, as well to ensure that interviews are conducted at the best time for both the media representative and the studentathlete. Players are usually available before and after practice, depending upon class schedules. Telephone interviews may also be arranged. Every effort will be made to arrange telephone interviews; however, players’ telephone numbers will not be given out. Student-athletes are instructed not to participate in telephone interviews unless they are arranged through Ben Earnick in the Athletic Media Relations office.

NCAA Guidelines & the Media Media representatives should be aware of several NCAA rules that apply to student-athletes. • Coaches and university officials cannot make comments on prospective student-athletes until they sign a National Letter of Intent. A coach cannot comment on a prospective student-athlete who has only verbally committed. • Student-athletes are not permitted to endorse commercial products. • Student-athletes may not be used in advertisements or endorsements of products, including media-related publications. • Photographers cannot provide student-athletes with free photographs or slides. Media Credentials Please contact Ben Warnick in the Athletic Media Relations office to arrange for press and photo credentials for each Blazer home game. Scouts are also welcome to request credentials for each home game; however, working members of the media will be given priority for assigned seating. Radio The Young Memorial Field press box is set up to host visiting radio. Please contact Ben Warnick in the Athletic Media Relations office at least one week prior to the contest to make arrangements for your broadcast. Due to limited space in the press box, in the case that UAB’s Blazer Sports Network is also providing a broadcast, an area will be set up outside of the press box for visiting radio. We apologize for the inconvenience and will do everything to ensure that your visit to Young Memorial Field is an adequate and enjoyable one.

Dorms, Locker Rooms & Training Facilities Student-athletes’ dorm rooms and apartments, the locker room, the training facilities and weight rooms are off limits at all times to everyone except authorized personnel. The same policy applies to the UAB locker room at road venues. Baseball Practices Most UAB baseball practices are open to the media. Please call the Athletic Media Relations office to confirm practice times, to let us know of your plans to attend practice and to make specific interview requests. Taped interviews may be conducted before or after practice but only with prior arrangement through Ben Warnick in the Athletic Media Relations office.

U A B

Media Services • Fax and e-mail service for postgame information is available. Please make your request prior to the day of the game with Ben Warnick in the Athletic Media Relations office. • Stat monitors can be provided for “live” media at UAB home games. Please notify the Athletic Media Relations office if you will need a monitor for your onair production. • Stat packets and updated cumulative season statistics will be available in the press box following each home contest. Telephones and fax machines are available in the Athletic Media Relations office. • Game programs, game notes and updated statistics will be available in the press box upon your arrival at each UAB home game.

2013 Baseball Media Outlets Blazer Sports Network Radio The Blazer Sports Network and WJOX-AM 690 have partnered to bring Birmingham-area fans more UAB baseball in 2013.

In addition to Blazer baseball games, Crane is also the play-by-play voice for UAB football and men’s basketball. Prior to his arrival at UAB, Crane spent 11 years as a member of the University of Alabama’s broadcast team, where he worked extensively with the Crimson Tide baseball program. The Decatur, Ala., native is a 1994 graduate of the University of Alabama. Crane spent nine seasons working with the Crimson Tide baseball program, including the 1999 season that resulted in a trip to the College World Series in Omaha, Neb.

2013 Baseball Gameday Experience Thousands of fans passed through the gates at Young Memorial Field in 2012 to take in the UAB baseball gameday experience. The Blazer Diamond Girls and the UAB Marketing department serve as the driving forces behind the UAB baseball gameday experience. The Diamond Girls serve as a vital component of the UAB baseball program, assisting with a wide-range of tasks from running merchandise tables at home games to assisting the coaching staff with day-to-day administrative duties and serving as “Bat Girls.” A very visible fixture at UAB home games, the Diamond Girls help with promotional efforts across campus in an effort to improve attendance at Blazer home games. They also assist the UAB Marketing department with in-game promotions to help provide fans with an enjoyable gameday experience. “The Diamond Girls have done a great job accepting our ideas, and they have been eager to help out and have done so with smiles on their faces,” said UAB assistant coach Perry Roth. “We believe that the Diamond Girls help make gamedays at Young Memorial Field a fun place to be for students and fans.” The Diamond Girls have been involved with the team’s “Bowling Night,” “100-Inning Wiffleball Game” and “Meet the Team Banquet.” Behind the scenes, the girls assist the staff with mailings and other administrative office tasks. See the Diamond Girls on page 24.

2013 Baseball 2013 Season Preview Fresh off a historic run through the Conference USA Tournament and first NCAA Regional appearance since 1991, the UAB baseball team returns a strong nucleus of position players and a pitching staff full of young talent. Here is a position by position break down of the 2013 UAB baseball team. Catchers The catching duo of Harry Clark and Jacob German are back for their senior seasons as they have split time each of the past three seasons. In fact, Clark and German have started 163 of 172 game during the past three years, with Clark starting 70 and German making 73 starts. “Catching for us is who it has been for the last three years with Harry and Jacob behind the plate splitting time,” head coach Brian Shoop said. “They have developed into our leaders on the team, along with John Frost. I feel really good about that position.” The tandem can contribute both offensively and defensively. Clark hit .292 overall last season, including an impressive .395 clip in Conference USA play. German knocked in 17 runs, scored 12 and hit .252. Behind the plate, the combo threw out 22 of 53 attempted base stealers for a caught stealing rate of 41.5 percent, one of the top team percentages in the conference. Infielders The Blazers will have to fill two holes in their infield as Keith DePew and Patrick Palmeiro both were lost to graduation. “Keith ended up leading us in hitting when it was all said and done and Patrick hit in the middle of our lineup and he started every game at third for two consecutive years, so

those are two positions that we need to replace,” Shoop said. Third base will be occupied this year by senior John Frost, who makes the shift across the diamond from first. One of the veterans on this year’s UAB team, Frost has started 156 career games, recorded 182 hits, scored 100 runs and knocked in 120 over the last three seasons. The two middle infield spots are up for grabs, with senior Tanner Bryant leading the pack at shortstop. “Tanner got a brunt of the playing time down the stretch last year and is back,” Shoop said. “The shortstop position is very competitive with Todd (Wilkinson) playing a lot last year and Matt Morse being back for his third year.” Bryant hit .283 in his first season with the Blazers in 2012 and added 15 RBI. Wilkinson battled injuries during his freshman campaign, but showed flashes last season, clubbing a pair of homers and going 9-for-10 on steal attempts, while Morse adds depth to the position, seeing time in 27 games a year ago. Second base will have a new starter in 2013, with the departure of DePew, Wes Kent could see lots of action at the position. “Obviously second base is going to be a position with a new player and we have lots of options there,” Shoop said. “Wes Kent has a slight edge because I love defensive side of the baseball and I think that is how you stay in games. I feel like Wes is capable of being our best defender and he runs very well and has some elements there.” In limited action in 2012, Kent hit .261, playing in 23 games making four starts and committed just one error 44 chances. Other options at second include Bryant, Wilkinson, Morse, Tyler Hamby and freshman Matthew Furuto from nearby Briarwood Christian High School in Birmingham. The most depth at any infield spot the Blazers have is at first base with five players capable of manning the position.

John Frost

else,” Shoop said. “Harry Clark can move from behind the plate to first, Jeff Schalk can move from the outfield to first and John Frost can easily move back so we have options there.”

“Tyler Mims and Sam Kelley are the leading candidates, but we probably have more depth at first base than we would anywhere

U A B

B l a z e r s

Ivan De Jesus Mims, a sophomore, saw most of his time as the designated hitter and in the outfield, has shifted positions again. Last season, the Hoover, Ala., native hit .292 with 15 RBI and hits from the right side of the plate. Shoop’s other primary option at first will be sophomore Sam Kelley, who bats from the left side. Kelley saw limited action last season, but used as a late defensive replacement on a number of occasions. Outfielders UAB returns two starting outfielders from last season in junior Ivan De Jesus and sophomore Jeff Schalk. Shoop expects both to take major roles in the offense and drive in runs throughout the season. De Jesus, who was rated as the second-highest draft prospect out of the Great Lakes Collegiate Collegiate League this past summer, hit .294, clubbing 70 hits, 17 for extra bases and knocked in 23 during 2012 with the Blazers. He also topped the team with 12 stolen bases last season. “We need Ivan to play at the level that he can play at,” Shoop said. “There is no one on the field with more God-given talent and ability. It is important for him and important for us that he has a big year and has a year he is capable of having.” De Jesus could play both left or center field in the UAB lineup.

2013 Baseball 2013 Season Preview Jeff Schalk, who was named to the C-USA All-Freshman Team last year is back after competing this past summer in the Cape Cod League. Shoop anticipates Schalk hitting in the middle of the order and is one of UAB’s top long ball threats. Last season, Schalk hit .279 with three homers and 24 RBI. He showed great patience, walking 33 times and posting an onbase percentage of .376. There are multiple candidates for the third and final starting outfield slot, including junior Ryan Prinzing, sophomore Chase Davis, redshirt freshman Griffin Gum and true freshman Adam Lau. Prinzing was used primarily as a designated hitter last year, had a knack for getting on base, recording an on-base percentage of .439 and hit .288 in 42 games played. Shoop could use Prinzing in either corner outfield spots or again as the team’s DH.

the soul and heartbeat of the team and that has to come from another area.

a 3.50 ERA and 24 total appearances, totaling 64.1 innings.

“From an execution standpoint, if you are not good on the mound, you are not very good. We think we have more pitching depth than we have ever had. The roles will have to evolve through time on the mound. Someone will need to emerge as the Friday guy.”

Munger put forth an outstanding summer in the California Collegiate League, earning MVP honors, thanks to a 4-0 record and 1.91 ERA in 37.2 innings.

A pair of junior college arms will see plenty of innings in their first year with the Blazers, in lefty Turner Lee and righty James Naile. Lee went 5-1 with a 2.39 ERA last season at Alabama Southern CC, earning Southern League First Team Alabama Community College All-Star Team honors. The southpaw also earned National Junior College Athletic Association All-America honors.

Davis should expect to see time in center field as one of the top speedsters back for Shoop’s team. Davis, who can also serve as a righthanded pitcher, hit .333 and was named to the All-Great Lakes League Second Team. “Davis started for us late in the season last year and gives us an element that I would like to have, which is speed at the top of the lineup,” Shoop said. “I would love to have Chase in the leadoff spot if he can prove that he is ready. He is a two-way guy, and I think he will still pitch some for us, again a very capable athlete.” Pitching The pitching staff will have plenty of new faces in 2013, as a total of 250 innings graduated last year. The biggest question will be the health of right-hander Ben Bullard, who underwent surgery at the tail end of his junior campaign. Bullard went 5-5 with a 2.96 ERA and a teambest 79 strikeouts in 82 innings. With the uncertainty of Bullard, Shoop may have to replace 332 total innings from a season ago along with some great leaders that were instrumental in UAB capturing its firstever C-USA Tournament Championship. “Our leadership last year came from our pitching staff,” Shoop said. “That was really

Tanner Bryant Naile, now a sophomore, pitched at Parkland Community College in Illinois last year, posting a 3.55 ERA in 16 games on the mound. The top two pitchers that are back with the most experience in Green and Gold is righthanded junior Chase Mallard and left-handed sophomore Dylan Munger. Both could be used as weekend starters or out of the bullpen. Mallard was a crucial arm out of the Blazer bullpen last year, being used in long and short relief throughout the season. His biggest appearance came in the C-USA Tournament when he was called in an emergency start against Tulane, and threw a career-high 6.2 innings with four strikeouts to earn the victory and send the Blazers to the title game. He finished last year with a record of 4-4 with

Last season as a true freshman, Munger went 2-4 in 20 outings, with an ERA of 5.98 and 40 strikeouts in 40.2 innings pitched. Others that provide depth to the staff include righties Cameron Rose, Cory Eller and Ruben Tresgallo, along with lefty Adam Lamar. Two-way players that will see time on the mound for UAB include right-handers Jacob German, Adam Lau and Chase Davis along with lefty Sam Kelley.

2013 C-USA BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP Reckling Park (Houston, Texas)

C-USA Championship Format The 2013 Conference USA Championship will feature the top eight teams in regular-season league play. Those eight will be split into two four-team pools (or pods), with the winner of each pod playing in a single championship game. Teams will be assigned pods based on seed, which would be determined by the order of finish in regular-season conference play. The No. 1, 4, 5 and 8 seeds will be in one pod with the No. 2, 3, 6 and 7 seeds in the other. Each team will be guaranteed to play three games. Teams in each pod will play the other three teams in their pod. The team with the best composite record in each pod will advance to the championship game. Two-way ties in a pod would be broken by head-to-head play. In case of a three-way tie, the highest seed will advance. The higher seed will be the home team in games on Days 1 and 3 and in the Championship Game; teams that were the visitors on Day 1 will be the home team on Day 2. Game Schedule Day 1 Day 2 4 vs. 5 2 vs. 7 1 vs. 8 4 vs. 8 3 vs. 6 1 vs. 5

Day 3 3 vs. 7 2 vs. 6 5 vs. 8

Day 4 2 vs. 3 6 vs. 7 1 vs. 4

Day 5 Championship

Games are played at 11 am, 3 pm, and 7 pm on the first four days of the Championship, with the championship game Sunday at 1 pm. Pairings with game times are announced after seeds are determined following the final league series of the season.

The league has also had eight national champions in NCAA track and field competition, one national champion in diving and numerous NCAA individual and team competitors in cross country, golf, swimming, tennis and track and field. Overall, Conference USA teams and individuals have made more than 650 NCAA appearances. SUCCESS OFF THE FIELD C-USA institutions are among the nation’s best in academic performance among student-athletes, bolstered by the fact that student-athletes at league schools have a higher graduation rate than the general student population. Among C-USA’s 5,000 student-athletes, there are champions off the playing field as well. In 17 years, 169 student-athletes earned national Capital One Academic All-America honors, while 588 were named AllDistrict. In addition, more than 22,000 student-athletes have been named to the Commissioner’s Honor Roll or received the Commissioner’s Academic Medal, indicative of outstanding achievement in the classroom. C-USA ON TV C-USA enjoys significant television exposure through partnerships with FOX Sports Media Group, CBS Sports Network and ESPN. The multi-tiered selection process that is rooted in partnering with all three networks has substantially increased the number of national and regional appearances for football, men’s and women’s basketball, and all other conference sports. C-USA DIGITAL NETWORK The C-USA Digital Network officially launched in August of 2011. Network programming includes live streaming of non-televised events, video on demand, a weekly C-USA studio show, podcasting, regular-season and championship event highlights and conferenceproduced feature stories. In its first year, 1,164 events were streamed live and 8,126 videos were posted and available on the C-USA Digital Network, and that number just keeps growing. Monthly and yearly subscriptions offer fans access to events offered on all 12 of the C-USA member institution’s athletic websites as well as C-USA network programming. C-USA IN THE COMMUNITY The conference’s footprint is concentrated with 12

members in nine states and a combined area population of nearly 17 million. More than 1.1 million living alumni represent C-USA schools across the nation. With a renewed commitment to community involvement, the conference has begun development of several initiatives to maintain strong ties in C-USA cities, as well as with fans and alumni across the country. C-USA schools also place a priority on giving back to their communities through volunteer service with local and national organizations.

A PROUD HISTORY Conference USA was formed in 1995 and quickly emerged as one of the nation’s top conferences. The conference unveiled its name, logo and commissioner April 24, 1995 in Chicago. The league’s charter members included Charlotte, Cincinnati, DePaul, Houston, Louisville, Marquette, Memphis, Saint Louis, Southern Miss, Tulane, UAB and USF. Eleven of the institutions began athletic participation in 1995, while Houston joined competition in the fall of 1996. The league’s headquarters were established in Chicago and after nine years, relocated to the current office in Irving, Texas. Britton Banowsky was named Commissioner in October 2002, succeeding Mike Slive, the league’s first commissioner. C-USA added East Carolina (September, 1996) and the United States Military Academy (March, 1997) as football members. ECU began league competition in 1997; Army in 1998 and UAB began football play in 1999. The league added TCU and ECU (1999) for all sports and they began competition in 2001. USF started C-USA football in 2003. After celebrating its 10th Anniversary during the 2004-05 season, Conference USA began a new chapter in 2005-06 when its current membership came together. A PROMISING FUTURE With more conference realignment taking the stage during the 2011-12 season, C-USA held onto its strong foundation, identity and a history that reflects the league’s national presence. Conference USA will welcome six new institutions in 2013, including the return of charter member Charlotte along with FIU, Louisiana Tech, North Texas, Old Dominion and UTSA. These six members will join with East Carolina, Marshall, Rice, Southern Miss, Tulane, Tulsa, UAB and UTEP. In addition to the outstanding competition and strong athletic achievements these schools bring, the C-USA footprint will grow by nearly 20 percent.

BRIAN SHOOP Head Coach Seventh Season Malone (Ohio) College, ‘80

Entering his seventh season at the helm of the UAB baseball program, head coach Brian Shoop continues to have the Blazers succeed both on and off the playing field. Shoop led the Blazers on a historic run in 2012, guiding the Green and Gold to its first-ever Conference USA Tournament Championship and second NCAA appearance in program history. In 2012, UAB finished the regular season as the No. 7 seed in the C-USA Tournament field. The Blazers advanced to the championship game by knocking off nationally ranked UCF and Tulane before shutting out Memphis, 5-0, to capture the league’s tournament crown as the lowest seed to ever win the championship. The 2012 Blazers joined the 1991 squad as the second team to compete in the NCAA Tournament. His first six seasons have been marked by significant improvements on the diamond and a high standard of success both in the classroom, in competition and giving back to the community. Shoop has guided UAB to four consecutive winning seasons, marking the longest stretch of finishing above .500 since a span from 1995-98. UAB put together a 32-win season in 2012, the most in program history since 1996. The Blazers have finished with 30-plus wins in three of the last four seasons. In 2012, the Blazers earned four wins against top-20 ranked programs and have defeated 18 nationally ranked team over the past six seasons. UAB opened last season by defeating then-No. 16 Clemson on the road in the season opener. Later in the year, the Blazers defeated UCF on two occasions, when the Knights were ranked 14th in the regular season and 16th in the C-USA tournament, along with then No. 5 Rice.

In 2010, the Blazers finished in a three-way tie for fifth place in the Conference USA standings, just one game out of third place and three games out of second. The Blazers just missed the 30-win plateau during the 2011 campaign, ending the year at 29-28 and advancing to the league tournament. The Blazers have advanced to the conference tournament five times in the past six seasons under the watch of Shoop. In 2010, Shoop’s Blazers won series against then-No. 4 Rice and eventual College World Series participant Southern Miss. The 2010 season was historic for Shoop in terms of milestone victories. The Blazer skipper earned his 100th UAB victory April 6, 2010 at Alabama and picked up his 800th career victory May 14, 2010 against Tulane. After earning the C-USA Tournament crown, Shoop had six players named to the conference all-tournament team. Prior to 2012, UAB had only five players ever named to the league’s postseason all-tournament squad. All-tourney selections included Ryan Nance, Chase Mallard, John Frost, Jeff Schalk, Keith DePew and MVP Michael Busby.

Schalk was named to the C-USA All-Freshman team in 2012, while both DePew and Nance earned the nod on the conference all-academic team. Four Blazers earned all-conference recognition in 2011, led by first-team selection Jamal Austin. Teammates Nick Crawford, Dillon Napoleon and Ryan Woolley earned second-team honors, while John Frost was named to the C-USA All-Tournament Team. Napoleon also earned the conference’s Newcomer of the Year award, the first Blazer to ever earn the honor. Following the conclusion of the 2011 season, both Austin and Woolley were selected in the Major League Baseball Amateur Draft. Both players were selected in the 13th round with Austin going to the Seattle Mariners and Woolley being picked by the Detroit Tigers. The selections marked the second and third highest draft picks in program history, behind only Chris Hammond was drafted in the sixth round by the Cincinnati Reds in 1986. Under the guidance of Shoop, 11 UAB players have gone on to play in the professional ranks, including Patrick Palmeiro off the 2012 UAB team. Since Shoop took over the program in 2007, UAB has racked up 20 all-conference honors. That season, the Blazers immediately improved from an eighth-place Conference USA finish the previous year to a three-way tie for fourth place, marking the best finish for the program since 1998. A year later, Shoop coached Ryan Keedy to third-team AllAmerican status. Keedy turned in one of the best statistical seasons in UAB history in 2008, leading C-USA with a .423 batting average and setting a school record with 29 doubles. The eventual 16thround draft pick of the Chicago Cubs also blasted 10 home runs and drove in 69 runs. The 2008 season was also highlighted by the Blazers’ academic success. UAB earned the C-USA Sport Academic award for baseball after posting a team GPA of 3.06 for the 2007-08 academic year. The team has continued its success in the classroom with 24 players earning a GPA of 3.0 or better in at least one semester last year. In 2009, UAB pitcher James Oliver was named the C-USA Scholar-Athlete of the Year for baseball and in 2012 Keith DePew was named UAB’s top senior student-athlete. Through six seasons as the head coach, Shoop has had 107 players named to the C-USA Commissioner’s honor roll for compiling a 3.0 GPA or better, while 27 student-athletes have earned the league’s academic medial for totaling a 3.75 GPA or better. Shoop’s squads have compiled team GPA’s of over 3.0 in five of six seasons. Since arriving at UAB, Shoop has tallied 171 wins to put him over 800 victories for his career. The 23year coaching veteran and member of the Alabama Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame owns a career record of 863-483-1 (.647). Shoop was appointed as the head coach of the UAB baseball program on June 12, 2006 by Interim Director of Athletics Richard Margison.

2013 Baseball Shoop came to UAB after serving 17 seasons at the helm of the Birmingham-Southern program, where he compiled a record of 692-307-1 (.692). In November 2008, the school inducted Shoop into its Sports Hall of Fame. The winningest coach all-time at Birmingham-Southern, Shoop won 40 games or more nine times, including an eight-year run from 1994-2001 that was capped off with a 55-win season. He finished with at least 32 wins in 16 of his 17 years at the school with his only sub32-win season coming in his first campaign back in 1990. Whether at Birmingham-Southern or now at UAB, Shoop is quick to recognize the contributions of his assistant coaches and their impact on his programs. “What a blessing it is every day to come to work with our incredible staff,” Shoop said. “Perry (Roth), Josh (Hopper), Ben (Drust) and Coach (Ron) Polk are an incredible group possessing so much baseball knowledge they daily pass along to our players. But they are even better people, fun to work beside, and they provide a tremendous example to the young men we have the privilege of coaching. Interacting daily with our staff, our support staff and our players makes working at UAB a true joy.” With the move to UAB, Shoop found himself in one of the toughest conferences in the nation. The conference season has always been a time when his teams have shined in the past, capturing a remarkable 209 victories in league play at Birmingham-Southern. Under Shoop, the Panthers claimed the Big South regular season championship in two of his last three years at Birmingham-Southern (2004 and 2006). His 2004 squad earned a berth in the NCAA Athens Regional following a 47-18 season that made him the recipient of the 2004 Big South Conference Coach of the Year award as well as the ABCA Coach of the Year honor. mitted to these kids getting their UAB degree. At Birmingham-Southern, Shoop’s teams averaged 41 wins a season and captured nine regular sea-

son conference titles and eight league tournament championships. He led his squads to 10 regional appearances and finished no worse than third, with three runner-up finishes and four regional titles. The Panthers were ranked in the final NAIA poll in 10 of Shoop’s first 12 seasons, including eight top-10 rankings and four top-five finishes. In 2006, his final season with the Panthers marked the 16th straight winning season for Birmingham-Southern as his team finished 33-22. In 2001, Birmingham-Southern’s final year of NAIA competition, Shoop led the Panthers to a school-record 55 wins on the way to claiming the NAIA Shoop Family National Championship, the (top row): Joshua Aldy, Emily Aldy, Jesse, Hannah, Sarah program’s first-ever national (bottom row) Scott, Brian, Brenda & Hester (dog) title.

2013 Baseball PERRY ROTH

Assistant Coach/Recruiting Coordinator Seventh Season Greenville (Ill.) College, ‘97 Perry Roth is now in his seventh season as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at UAB and is no stranger to the teachings of Brian Shoop, having worked under him for three seasons at BirminghamSouthern before making the move to UAB in 2006. Roth’s responsibilities include hitting instruction as well as working with the Blazers’ catchers and playing a vital role in the program’s recruiting efforts. As hitting coach, Roth has guided the Blazers to some impressive offensive numbers in his six years with the program. He made an immediate impact on the Blazer bats in 2007, helping UAB improve from a .267 team batting average the previous year to a .296 mark. That rise continued the next season as the 2008 team hit .311 and featured nine players better than .300 individually. One of those players Roth tutored was third-team All-American Ryan Keedy, who turned in one of the best statistical seasons in program history with a .423 batting average and a school-record 29 doubles. Under Roth’s guidance in 2009, the UAB offense set school records with 461 runs scored and 129 doubles as the Blazers again proved themselves as one of the top hitting teams in Conference USA. The team also cracked the top 10 in the school’s singleseason team record book for RBI (406, 2nd), walks (284, 3rd), home runs (58, 6th), hits (605, 9th) and batting average (.305, 10th). Roth has coached 12 players to all-conference honors (six first-team) in his six seasons at UAB, including 2011 first-team selection Jamal Austin who hit .351 last season. Roth also coached Luke Stewart, who in 2010 was an all-league selection, connecting for 21 home runs and tied the UAB all-time record with 49 in his three-year career. In 2012, Jeff Schalk was named to the league’s all-freshman team. In addition, the UAB offense really stepped up during the historic run in 2012, hitting .333 as a team during the C-USA Tournament and drawing more walks (24) than strikeouts (18) during the four-game stretch in Peal, Miss. The Blazers saw three offense players named to the league’s all-tournament team in Jeff Schalk, John Frost and Keith DePew as the Blazers captured the 2012 C-USA Tournament Championship and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1991. Behind the plate, Roth has worked with a pair of Blazer catchers who earned all-conference honors - Danny Sawyer (2007) and Digger Towe (2009). In 2010, freshman catcher Jacob German threw out 32.4 percent of potential base stealers to lead all Conference USA catchers. Those numbers have been amongst the league’s best over the the past two seasons as well, as the duo of German and Harry Clark threw out 46.9 percent in 2011 and 37.7 percent in 2012.

Big South Conference in home runs (25) and was second in RBI (73) and total bases (167). Tucker won the NCAA Statistical Championship for home runs per game, and Florida’s Matt LaPorta hit a home run in the College World Series championship series to edge him out in total home runs. Before re-joining Shoop’s staff at BirminghamSouthern, Roth spent one season at Bradley where he helped guide the Braves’ offense to a .301 team batting average. The team improved in virtually every offensive category upon his arrival, scoring 115 more runs than the previous season, while three Braves hitters received All-Missouri Valley Conference honors, including 2004 MVC batting average leader Jon Smith. In 2003, Roth had his first stint with Shoop at Birmingham-Southern, serving as the Panthers’ first base coach. That season, the team posted a 35-16 record in its final year of provisional NCAA membership. In the summer of 2003, Roth led his Athletes in Action team to a runner-up finish in the Alaska Baseball League and a berth in the National Baseball Congress World Series. “Off the field, Perry and I are also coming from the same page,” Shoop said. “Coaching is our ministry and our chance to mentor young men and hopefully make a positive difference in their lives. Perry is doing a great job for the UAB baseball program.” Before arriving at Birmingham-Southern for the first time, Roth spent three years as an assistant coach at Illinois State from 1999-2002, where he served as the team’s hitting and outfield coach in addition to his responsibilities as the program’s recruiting coordinator. From 1998-99, he served as the head coach of Springfield Calvary Academy right after being an assistant coach at his alma mater, Greenville College, from 1996-98. As a player, Roth was a two-time letterwinner at Greenville. Both in 1990 and 1991, Roth and his Greenville teammates reached the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) championship. Roth graduated from Greenville with a B.S. in physical education in 1997 and he currently resides in Birmingham.

JOSH HOPPER Assistant Coach Fourth Season Berry (Ga.) College, ‘99

Josh Hopper enters his fourth season with the Blazers in 2013 after leading the UAB pitching staff to an impressive campaign a season ago. He joined the UAB baseball staff as pitching coach in July 2009 after spending the previous five seasons as an assistant coach at his alma mater, Berry College in Rome, Ga. Hopper guided the UAB pitching staff in capturing its first-ever Conference USA Tournament Championship and advancing to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1991. En route to the NCAA Regionals, Hopper saw three pitchers off the 2012 staff earn all-tournament honors in Michael Busby (MVP), Ryan Nance and Chase Mallard. In the three C-USA Tournament victories, the Blazer staff registered a miniscule 1.08 ERA and held opponents to a .189 batting average in 25 total innings, including a 5-0 shutout of Memphis in the league’s title game.

by the New York Mets in the 18th round of the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft. McHugh made his major league debut last season with the Mets. Hopper’s pitchers are known for their command of the strike zone with his 2006 Berry staff leading the nation in fewest walks per game and the 2008 version ranking 13th in the country in that category. In his five-year stint with the Vikings, Hopper’s pitching staffs averaged 290 strikeouts a year to just 141 walks. Hopper’s most recent stop at Berry, located in northwest Georgia, was his second stint as an assistant with his alma mater. He started his coaching career at Berry in 2001 before moving on to Georgia State for the 2003 and 2004 seasons. Hopper then returned to Berry before the 2005 campaign. In addition to his experience at the college level, Hopper also previously served as the head coach of the 18-year-old East Cobb

In addition to the successful postseason run for UAB, Hoppers’ staff pitched the most innings in program history (554.1) and recorded the most victories (32) since the 1996 campaign. The Blazers recorded four shutouts, most since 1993, and issued the fewest walks (207) since 2003 under Hopper last season. In his four seasons with the Green and Gold, he has worked with three of the top 10 lowest ERA pitchers in program lore: Ben Bullard, Dillon Napoleon and Ryan Woolley. The 2011 staff featured two right-handed pitchers that were recognized by the league in Ryan Woolley and Dillon Napoleon. Both earned second-team all-conference honors, while Napoleon became the first UAB player to earn the league’s Newcomer of the Year award. Following the season, Woolley was drafted in the 13th round by the Detroit Tigers, becoming the 12th pupil under Hopper’s guidance to play professionally.

The Hopper File

“Josh has a great command of pitching mechanics and a toughness and energy that are contagious as he leads our pitching staff,” UAB head coach Brian Shoop said. “We truly believe he is one of the bright young stars in our profession. We as coaches, along with our players, are blessed to have Josh Hopper leading our pitching staff.”

In 2009, his final season at Berry, Hopper helped the Vikings to the program’s first NAIA World Series appearance and a ranking of No. 4 in the final NAIA Baseball Coaches Poll. Berry finished the year 46-16, and Hopper’s pitching staff ranked in the top 25 nationally in ERA (4.22) and opponent batting average (.263).

Following his collegiate career, Hopper spent two years in the New York Mets’ minor league system. He was a member of a championship team in 1999 with the Mets’ Gulf Coast League squad and then split the 2000 season between the Capital City Bombers of the South Atlantic League and the Pittsfield Mets of the New York-Penn League.

The 2009 Berry staff featured NAIA All-American Matt McCalley, who finished the season with a 10-1 record and a 1.26 ERA. Also the program’s career saves leader, McCalley is the second All-American coached by Hopper, joining Tim Borders (2001). In 2008, Hopper coached Collin McHugh, who was selected

2013 Baseball RON POLK

Volunteer Assistant Coach Fifth Season Grand Canyon (Ariz.), ‘65 Legendary Mississippi State baseball coach Ron Polk, the winningest coach in any sport in the history of the Southeastern Conference, enters his fifth season as UAB’s volunteer assistant coach. Polk came to UAB in the summer of 2008 after announcing his retirement from the Mississippi State program.

award given by the ABCA.

A veteran of postseason play, Polk helpd the Blazers advance to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1991 last season. The Blazers made the NCAA Regional in Tallahassee, Fla., hosted by Florida State, by capturing the Conference USA Tournament Championship to receive an automatic bid.

Polk concluded his 35-year career as a head coach with a career record of 1,373-7002 (.662). In his career, which also included stints at Georgia Southern (1972-75) and Georgia (2000-01), Polk led his teams to a total of eight College World Series appearances, five SEC championships and 23 Regional appearances. He is one of only three coaches in college baseball history to take three different programs to the College World Series.

“It has been a personal highlight in life for me to be able to learn under Coach Polk in the 80’s at Mississippi State and now work with him again at UAB,” head coach Brian Shoop said. “I have more respect for Coach Polk than any coach in college baseball. No one has had more of an influence on our game and on countless young coaches, including myself. Our players love him and appreciate the sacrifices he makes to be involved with the UAB baseball program. We are better in so many ways because of Coach’s decision to donate his time to Blazer baseball.” In July 2009, Polk was inducted into the College Baseball Hall of Fame. He is also a member of the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) Hall of Fame, having been inducted in 1995. In 1988, he was presented with the Lefty Gomez Award, the highest

The Polk File

Polk retired from Mississippi State in 2008, following his 29th season at the school. He ranks seventh all-time in NCAA career head coaching victories.

Polk mentored current UAB head coach Brian Shoop when the Blazer skipper was on his staff at Mississippi State from 1983-89. The Bulldogs won three SEC championships and made one trip to the College World Series during that time. At Mississippi State, Polk recruited and coached some of the game’s all-time greats, including Major League standouts Jeff Brantley, Will Clark, Rafael Palmeiro, Bobby Thigpen and Jonathan Papelbon. Those are just a few of the 185 of his former players that have signed professional contracts and a few of the 23 that have played in the Major Leagues.

A three-time National Coach of the Year, Polk held the position of Assistant Athletics Director for Special Projects at Mississippi State following his team’s College World Series run in 1997. While in that position, Polk spearheaded a successful campaign to expand Polk-DeMent Stadium in Starkville. He returned to coaching at Georgia in 2000, where he spent two years before making the move back to Mississippi State for his final seven seasons. Perhaps Polk’s most talented Mississippi State squad ever was the 1985 version. That club finished the year 50-15 and was SEC champion before going on to appear in the College World Series. The 1985 Bulldog club featured future major league stars Brantley, Clark, Palmeiro and Thigpen. In his 35 years as a college baseball coach, Polk produced 35 All-Americans and more than 75 All-SEC performers. In addition to Polk’s work in the collegiate ranks, the Boston, Mass., native has completed seven tours as a member of the coaching staff for the USA National Baseball Team, twice

His duties include setting up team travel, maintaining Young Memorial Field and organizing both fall and summer camps for the Blazers.

“During Ben’s two years as a Blazer, he really grew into a coaching role,” UAB head coach Brian Shoop said. “So this transition into our director of baseball operations was a natural move. Ben was a model teammate, loyal to UAB and loves our baseball program.” A reserve infielder with the Blazers, Drust saw action in 20 career games, including 11 as a senior in 2009. He posted a .300 batting average in limited plate appearances during his final campaign. But Drust was more than a role player on the 2009 team, serving also as the team’s first base coach. Prior to his arrival at UAB, Drust hit .331 with 33 runs scored and 20 RBI in his final season at John A. Logan. The Carterville, Ill., product earned a spot on the Great Rivers Athletic Conference All-Tournament Team that year. A strong all-around athlete, Drust was a four-year letterwinner in baseball, basketball and football at Carterville High School.

For two seasons, Stewart played in the Mets organization and clubbed 15 homers, 21 doubles and totaled 64 RBI in 117 games. Stewart flourished in the middle of the lineup for Coach Shoop during his three seasons as a Blazer. He was a three-year starter at UAB and finished with 49 homers, tied for the most in program history. His senior season in 2010, Stewart connected for 21 homers and 64 RBI en route to being named First Team All-Conference USA. A career .288 hitter, Stewart started 165 games over his three years at UAB and spent the past two seasons as the Blazers’ everyday first baseman. His 167 career RBI rank fourth at UAB, while his 127 walks rank second in school annals. Stewart spent the 2007 season at Georgia before transferring to UAB.

2013 Baseball 2012 Season Recap: The UAB baseball team produced a 2012 season full of memories, featuring the Blazers first Conference USA Tournament Championship in program history and advancing to an NCAA Regional for the first time since 1991. Here is a look back on some memorable moments from the 2012 season: THE C-USA TOURNAMENT RUN Game 1: UAB 15, UCF 1 (7) UAB scored a school record 13 times in the top of the fifth inning to expand what was a 2-1 lead to 15-1 and cruise to victory over the UCF Knights. Beyond the record setting inning, RHP Michael Busby fired the first six innings, holding the potent UCF lineup to one earned run off three hits. Busby fanned four, walked one and sent the Knights down in order in three of the six innings he worked. LUCKY #13: In the fifth inning against the No. 2 seed UCF, the Blazers scored a record-setting 13 times, to claim a 10-run rule victory. The record setting top half of the fifth lasted 49 minutes, featuring 18 batters coming to the plate, 13 consecutive batters reaching base, 13 runs, seven hits (six singles), six walks, four UCF pitchers, three wild pitches, two passed balls and two errors. The 13 runs in one inning broke the school record of 11 set against Jackson State on April 3, 1985. Game 2: UAB 6, Tulane 3 The Blazers put the pressure on Tulane all afternoon, forcing the Green Wave into three miscues that allowed four unearned runs to cross. The Blazers scored twice in the sixth and two more in the seventh and received a stellar emergency outing from Chase Mallard. MAGNIFICENT MALLARD: Following an injury to scheduled starter Ben Bullard, right-hander Chase Mallard was called into an emergency relief appearance. The sophomore was nothing short of spectacular, firing a career-long 6.2 innings and holding the potent Tulane offense to just three runs (two earned) off five hits. The Cullman, Ala., native tied a career-high with four strikeouts in the victory. Game 3: East Carolina 10, UAB 3 By winning their first two games of the tournament and ECU defeating UCF, the Blazers had already secured their spot in the C-USA Championship game before taking the field with the Pirates. UAB tied the game in the sixth on RBI singles from Patrick Palmeiro and Tyler Mims, but ECU scored a run in the eighth and six more in the ninth to earn the win. Game 4: UAB 5, Memphis 0 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; C-USA Champions C-USA TOURNAMENT CHAMPS: The UAB baseball team captured its first C-USA Tournament Championship in program history, when the Blazers blanked Memphis, 5-0 in the finals back on May 27. UAB, the seventh-seed, had lost seven straight contests to the Ti5 3

gers, before claiming the tournament crown. The tournament championship marked the first for UAB since 1994, when the Blazers were members of the Great Midwest Conference. MISSISSIPPI MEN TAME TIGERS: Seniors Ryan Nance and Michael Busby, products of Brandon and Vicksburg, Miss., respectively, combined to throw the first postseason shutout in program history in the CUSA title game against Memphis. In just his second career start, Nance, pitched a careerlong 6.1 innings with six strikeouts, also a personal best, before giving way to Busby, a fellow right-hander. Busby was called upon out of the Blazer bullpen with the bases loaded and one out to face the top of the Memphis order. Busby struck out both batters he faced, including C-USA Player of the Year Jacob Wilson looking to end the threat. Busby pitched the final 2.2 innings to earn the save and give UAB the C-USA title. SCHALK BUSTS OUT OF SLUMP: Freshman Jeff Schalk busted out of a 2-for-35 (.057 batting average) slump in the tournament finals when he rocketed a two-run blast off the foul pole in right field to give UAB a 3-0 lead. Schalk, who had only knocked in one run in the previous 14 games, finished with a career-high three RBI. ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM: Prior to 2012, only five times a UAB player had been named to the C-USA All-Tournament Team. After claiming the C-USA Tournament crown, six Blazers earned the distinct honor, including: Michael Busby (MVP), Keith DePew, John Frost, Chase Mallard, Ryan Nance and Jeff Schalk. SIZZILING SEVENTH SEED: The Blazers made CUSA history by being not only the first No. 7 seed to advance to the tournament championship, but the first to capture the title. TALLAHASSEE REGIONAL Game 1: Florida State 2, UAB 1 Michael Busby fired his second complete game of the season, but the Blazer offense stranded 12 runners on base as the regional-host FSU Seminoles escaped with a one-run victory. BUZZ SAW BUSBY: Michael Busby held the FSU lineup to just five hits in the complete game loss. Over the final four appearances of his career in Green and Gold, Busby yielded just four earned runs and 14 hits in 24.2 innings. The righty collected 14 strikeouts to six walks and held opponents to a .159 batting average against him. In fact, the two runs scored by the Seminoles is their lowest run output in the NCAA Tournament so far. FSU

2013 Baseball A Season To Remember is currently competing in the NCAA College World Series in Omaha, Neb.

RBI single to left in the Blazers’ first home game of the season.

Game 2: Mississippi State 8, UAB 1 Ryan Nance surrendered just two hits and struck out a career-high seven, however Mississippi State scored all eight runs over the middle three innings, including a five-run sixth to end the magical run for the Blazers.

UAB 1, Ball State 0 – 12 innings (2/25): A day after earning an incredible comeback win, the Blazers found a way to sink the Cardinals for the second straight day. Each staff matched zero for zero on the scoreboard until Patrick Palmeiro snapped the scoreless tie by tripling in Michael Busby from first with the game-winning run.

NANCE STEPS UP: In Nance’s three starts, which took place over his last four appearances and were the only three of his career in 46 outings, the right-hander worked a total of 16.0 innings, allowing just five runs (three earned) off 11 hits. The senior struck out 14 and walked nine and held opponents to a .193 batting average during that stretch. MEMORABLE MILESTONES & MOMENTS WINNING WAYS: The Blazers finished with 32 victories, the most by a UAB team since the 1996 squad earned 33. The 32-30 record also marked the fourth consecutive winning season under head coach Brian Shoop. BEST IN BAMA: UAB sported the best winning percentage amongst Alabama Division I baseball teams against programs within the state as well as the best home winning percentage amongst those schools. In 2012, the Blazers finished 9-3 (.750) against Alabama schools and 20-10 (.667) overall at home. UAB and Samford were the only two schools from the state to advance to the NCAA Tournament, both competing at the Tallahassee Regional. KNOCKING OFF NATION’S BEST: On the season, UAB won four games against top-20 teams. In fact, each win came against a program that was ranked 16th or higher in one of the major polls. The first three victories versus nationally ranked teams (#16 Clemson, #14 UCF, #5 Rice) all came on the road with senior righty Dillon Napoleon earning the wins in all three contests. The fourth win over a ranked program came in the C-USA Tournament when the Blazers clipped then No. 16 UCF, 15-1. CLAIMING THE CLOSE ONES: UAB found a way to win close games in 2012, finishing the season with a 13-5 record in one-run games along with posting a 4-1 tally in extra-inning affairs. WALK-OFF WINS: Prior to the calendar changing to April, UAB already posted four walk-off wins. Here is a look at each fantastic finish for the Blazers: UAB 4, Ball State 3 (2/24): Trailing 3-0 entering the bottom of the ninth, Tanner Bryant capped off a four-run frame with a bases loaded

UAB 2, Utah 1 – 11 innings (3/3): UAB loaded the bases with one out in the last of the 11th with the score knotted, 1-1. Coach Shoop rolled the dice and asked senior Keith DePew to bunt and the second baseman produced a perfect walk-off single to give the Blazers the victory. UAB 1, Alabama 0 – 12 innings (3/27): Scoreless through 11 and-a-half-innings, John Frost gave UAB the win when he roped a single to rightcenter to plate Ivan De Jesus from second at Regions Park in Hoover, Ala. NAPOLEON SHINES IN SEASON OPENER: Senior Dillon Napoleon pitched flawlessly in UAB’s season opener in a 2-1 victory at No. 16 Clemson on February 17 en route to earning C-USA Pitcher of the Week honors. The Winnetka, Ill., native held the prolific Clemson lineup to one run off four hits over a seven-inning stint on the mound. Napoleon forced Clemson to strand seven base runners, induced 15 fly outs, four ground outs, one strike out and retired the side in order in three of his seven innings of work. BULLARD PUNCHES OUT 15: Right-hander Ben Bullard was a tough-luck loser on March 17 against Michigan at the Coastal Carolina Classic, but did make history. UAB lost the game 3-1, but Bullard tied a school record with 15 strikeouts, 14 of which were swinging. The Decatur, Ala., product’s outing tied former Blazer Jon Burgett 15 punchouts, which he recorded against Southern Miss on April 26, 2003. The 15 strikeouts also tied USM’s Andrew Pierce for the most by a C-USA pitcher in 2012. Bullard was recognized as one of six players across the country as a Collegiate Baseball Louisville Slugger National Player of the Week for his performance. BUSBY FIRES FIRST CG SHUTOUT IN 8 YEARS: Michael Busby fired the first complete game shutout for UAB in eight years, in a 1-0 victory over Houston on April 29. Busby walked just one batter over a career-long nine-inning effort, with five strikeouts. He retired the first nine batters he faced and 13 of the first 14 Houston batters that came to the plate. Busby’s outing was the first complete game shutout since March 7, 2004 when Jeff Brown blanked Toledo over nine innings.

1991 NCAA Regional Team

In 1991, the UAB Blazers qualified for the NCAA Regionals for the first time in program history after they won the Sun Belt Tournament championship. The Blazers went on to compete in the Central Regional in Austin, Texas, where they first lost to host Texas, 163, before coming back to hold off a late charge by Rutgers to earn a 10-9 victory over the Scarlet Knights to mark UAB’s first-ever NCAA Tournament victory. However, the sun would set on the Blazers’ cinderella season the following day as Oklahoma State squeaked past the Blazers, 8-7, in 10 innings. A team that finished the year with an 29-30 overall record, the 1991 Blazers will forever be remembered for their cinderella run at the Sun Belt championship and appearance in the NCAA Championship.

2012 NCAA Regional Team

In 2012, the UAB Blazers made the NCAA Regionals for the first time since 1991 after winning the Conference USA Tournament Championship in dramatic fashion. As the No. 7 seed, UAB defeated both UCF and Tulane, securing a spot in the leagueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championship contest. Ryan Nance and Michael Busby combined to shutout the Tigers, 5-0, to earn the automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. Busby entered in the seventh inning with the bases loaded and two outs and recorded back-to-back strikeouts to secure the victory. UAB earned a No. 4 seed at the Tallahassee Regional hosted by Florida State. The Seminoles, ranked No. 3 in the country, narrowly beat the Blazers 2-1. UAB would then fall to Mississippi State 8-1 to end the amazing season for the 2012 Blazers.

The park received a pair of upgrades for the 2010 season with the addition of a new state-of-the art scoreboard and the addition of covered hitting cages beyond the left field fence. The scoreboard, produced by industry leader Daktronics, provides additional information and video capabilities that feature LED technology while offering expanded inventory opportunities for corporate partners. Young Memorial Field was dedicated in honor of Dr. Jerry D. Young on April 18, 1985. A host of dignitaries, including Hall of Fame third baseman and former Baltimore Oriole great Brooks Robinson, who threw out the ceremonial first pitch, were present for

the dedication. One of the finest baseball surfaces in the South, Young Memorial Field is equipped with an underground sprinkler and drainage system which helps to keep the playing surface in excellent condition throughout the year. The facility got a major overhaul in 1999, as the infield was regraded and resodded and a new sound system was installed. Prior to the 2000 season, new fencing was added to the park in the bullpen areas. The concession area and umpires’ room also were renovated. A major cosmetic change was made in 2001 when a new wood outfield fence was completed just before the beginning of the season, replacing the chain-link fencing that had enclosed the field since 1984. The ballpark now has slightly larger dimen-

In addition, the large “hitter’s eye” in center field has been fused with the fence. The Young Memorial Field version of the “Green Monster” stands 30 feet high and 100 feet wide. The first game in the new facility was on Feb. 26, 1984, a 14-8 victory over Vanderbilt. Joey Cora of Vanderbilt got the first hit at Young Memorial Field, while Mike Goff of UAB got the first Blazer hit and homer at the new field. Former UAB assistant coach Frank Walton picked up the save for the Blazers. UAB has 75 .500 or better seasons in 29 years of play at the facility, with a school record 30-7 mark at home in 1992. UAB is 516-333-1 (.608) all-time at Young Memorial Field.

Young Memorial Field was the host of the first Great Midwest Conference Championship (1992), as the Blazers won the league title on their home field. Lights were installed at Young Memorial Field in 1993, with the first night game resulting in a 6-4 victory over Southern Miss on March 23, 1993. Other additions to Young Memorial Field were the construction of the Harry “The Hat” Walker Press Box, dedicated March 4, 1997, which houses media members and game operations staff, and picnic tables and grills placed along the right field fence and along the outside of the field on the first base side. In addition, the UAB baseball locker room was renovated in December 2002.

Founding Father Jerry D. Young A member of the UAB Athletics Hall of Fame’s first induction class in the fall of 2009. An ardent supporter of all UAB sports, but especially the baseball program, Dr. Jerry D. Young served as senior vice president for finance at UAB at the time of his death in May, 1983. A magna cum laude graduate of Indiana State University, Young came to UAB in 1971 and was the first dean of the School of Business. By 1973, the school had received accreditation by the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business as the youngest school to achieve accreditation in the 60-year history of that program. Named UAB’s vice president for finance in 1974, Dr. Young was responsible for all fiscal operations at the university and played a key role in guiding the physical development of the campus during a period of intensive construction and growth. At the same time, he was instrumental in establishing the intercollegiate athletics program on the UAB campus, the hiring of Gene Bartow as athletics director and head basketball coach in addition to the hiring of Harry “The Hat”

Walker as the Blazers’ first baseball coach. In recognition of his contributions and abilities, he was named senior vice president for finance in 1982. He served for several years as the chairman of UAB’s Faculty Committee on Intercollegiate Athletics. Dr. Young devoted his time and energy to the development of the Sun Belt Conference and was treasurer of the league in 1982. At the time of his death, Dr. Young was serving as president of the conference. During the 1984-85 school year, the Sun Belt instituted the Jerry D. Young Award, to be awarded to the men’s basketball player who best exemplified the criteria of sportsmanship, scholarship, leadership and athletic ability. Dr. Young worked tirelessly for the UAB community and his work on behalf of the athletics department and the baseball program was the chief reason why the field stands today. His son Jeff was a member of the first UAB baseball team in 1979, and Dr. Young had a particular fondness for baseball at UAB. Unfortunately, he did not live to see the field completed. His accomplishments in academia, athletics and administration exemplify the high standards to which many aspire, but few reach. Within his too-short 50 years of life, Dr. Jerry Young touched the lives of thousands in a positive and meaningful way.

2013 Baseball Young Memorial Field Ground Rules

Pre-Game Schedule

General • All equipment must be kept in the dugout and off the warning track. • Both feet must be on the warning track for a legal catch in foul territory or the dugout area. • Any fielder making a legal catch that goes into dead ball territory may throw from that “dead ball” territory, provided that he does not lose his balance or fall. • Players must stay off the tarp. A player may lean on (with both feet on the warning track), but not step or stand on the tarp while making a catch. Any ball getting in or under the tarp is dead. • A single fence (eight feet high) surrounds the outfield. Any batted ball that leaves the park and strikes the foul pole or foul pole screen above the fence (eight feet) or the scoreboard is considered a home run. • Any ball hit above the eight foot line on the “batter’s eye” wall in center field will be ruled a home run. • The remainder of the park is completely enclosed.

2013 Baseball Harry “The Hat” Walker One of the most colorful characters to ever grace the UAB campus, Harry “The Hat” Walker passed away on August 8, 1999. Walker served as the first head coach for the Blazer baseball program from its inception in 1979 to 1986. His No. 32 is the only UAB baseball jersey number to be retired. Walker, who was inducted in the UAB Athletics Hall of Fame in 2013, led the Blazers to two Sun Belt North Division titles (1981-82) and had an eight-year record of 211171 (.552). What cannot be measured about Walker in pure numbers can be measured in terms of the impact that he had in the early days of the UAB program. A veteran of five decades in professional baseball, “The Hat” brought a style, and more importantly, instant credibility to the fledgling program. From a modest 21-29 record in his first season in 1979, Walker and the Blazers followed with a 30-20 mark in 1980 and a 40-17 record in 1981. He finished out his career at UAB with four consecutive 20-plus victory seasons. Nicknamed “The Hat” for his habit of adjusting his cap between pitches in the batter’s box, Walker spent 22 years as a player in professional baseball. He played eight years with the St. Louis Cardinals, appearing in three World Series (1942-43, 46) and two All-Star Games (1943, 47). A left-handed hitter, he won the 1947 National League batting title with a .363 average while playing for two different teams, St. Louis and Philadelphia. In all, he hit over .300 five times and had a .296 lifetime average. The versatile player, who was mostly an outfielder during his career, also played for the Philadelphia Phillies, the Chicago Cubs and the Cincinnati Reds. Walker spent 20 years as a manager, including major league stints with the Cardinals (1955), the Pittsburgh Pirates (1965-67) and the Houston Astros (1968-72). After the 1972 season, Walker worked as a hitting instructor for the Cardinals for three seasons. He was St. Louis’ minor league farm director in 1976 and the Cards’ advance scout and major-league scout for trades from 1977-78. Walker came from a family steeped in tradition. His father, Ewart (Dixie) Walker, was the first Alabamian to go to the majors. Dixie pitched for Washington in 1909 and his uncle, Ernie, played for the St. Louis Browns. His brother, Fred (Dixie), was a star outfielder in both the AL and NL. Dixie also won the National League batting title in 1944. Walker was revered as one of the game’s great hitting instructors, as he worked with stars such as Cesar Cedeno, Matty Alou, Manny Mota and many others. During the 1997 season, the Harry “The Hat” Walker Press Box was dedicated prior to the March 4 game vs. Vanderbilt. The “Hat Box” was a dream for Walker, who wanted the local and visiting media to enjoy the hospitality of UAB Baseball at Young Memorial Field. Walker was inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame in 1978.

2013 Baseball Administration Dr. Ray Watts, President Ray L. Watts, M.D., UAB’s seventh president, has demonstrated visionary leadership in education, research and clinical care throughout his career. A Birmingham native and graduate of West End High School, Dr. Watts earned a bachelor’s degree in engineering at UAB in 1976. The collaborations he had with biomedical engineering students as an undergraduate inspired him to expand his career horizons and, four years later, he graduated from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis as valedictorian of his class. Dr. Watts completed a neurology residency, medical internship, and clinical fellowships at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, followed by a two-year medical staff fellowship at the National Institutes of Health. Before returning to UAB in 2003, he was part of a team that helped to create an internationally renowned research and clinical center for Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders at Emory Univer-

sity in Atlanta. At UAB, Dr. Watts served as the John N. Whitaker Professor and Chairman of the Department of Neurology. There he led the development of an interdisciplinary research program aimed at translating scientific breakthroughs into promising new therapies for neurodegenerative diseases and played a key role in the establishment of the UAB Comprehensive Neuroscience Center. He also was named president of the University of Alabama Health Services Foundation. In 2010, Dr. Watts accepted the position of Senior Vice President and Dean of the School of Medicine at UAB, and later was named to the James C. Lee Jr. Endowed Chair. As dean, Dr. Watts – in partnership with UAB Health System and Health Services Foundation leaders – initiated the AMC21 comprehensive strategic plan, encompassing education, research, clinical care and primary care. AMC21 aims to make UAB “the preferred academic medical center of the 21st century,” and has led to the

recruitment of outstanding faculty, the launch of programs to accelerate research and drug discovery, and the development of a third regional medical campus in Montgomery, among other successes. He has been tireless in his efforts to enhance medical student training—from increasing available scholarships to supporting Equal Access Birmingham, a volunteer organization in which students provide care to underserved patients—and to foster stronger relationships with medical alumni throughout the state. “People want to invest in the future—in solutions that will have a real impact on our health, education and our economy,” Dr. Watts has said. “So the state and community want us to develop our ideas and capitalize on opportunities to lead. UAB can be one of the most dymanic and productive universities of the 21st century, and that is our vision.” Dr. Watts and his wife Nancy, who just retired as a nurse at UAB, have five grown children.

Brian Mackin, Athletic Director

rian Mackin was named UAB’s Director of Athletics on February 14, 2007. He moved into the position after spending five years as senior associate athletic director for external affairs for the Blazers. A former UAB baseball letterman, Mackin has a deep-rooted passion for the University and its athletics program. With an eye on the future, his commitment to continue to grow the program has been clear in the time since he became athletics director. He has made success in the classroom and improving athletic facilities two of his top priorities. Mackin was able to secure the first-ever naming rights for the athletics program with the generous gift from Don and Marsha Hire for the Hoke Hire Student-Athlete Academic Center. With the opening of the Academic Center, an abundance of new computer equipment has been added. Mackin has also strengthened the academic area by creating additional staff positions. Under Mackin’s watch, the Academic Reform Group (ARG) was initiated. This group is made up of athletics staff members and academic support staff. With its mission to create an environment of academic excellence in the department, the group addresses every aspect of a student-athlete’s experience while at UAB. Mackin has also demonstrated his commitment to academic success by initiating a penalty structure for student-athletes and making them accountable if they miss classes or tutorial sessions. Mackin’s commitment to academics has shown positive results. For the 2009-10 academic year, UAB student-athletes accounted for

nearly 25 percent of Conference USA Scholar-Athletes of the Year, awards that are handed out annually to the top student-athlete in each sport that the league sponsors. Since Mackin became athletics director, he has made facility improvements another objective of emphasis. A new 10,000-square foot weight room has opened for Blazer teams, as well as a new, spacious, state-of the-art athletic training facility which opened in the fall of 2008. With the renovation of the Ullman Building, the Blazers’ Olympic sports coaches have been able to relocate into brand new offices. Other facilities improvements have included the resurfacing of the track for the Blazers’ track and field team. In spring 2010, the first phase of the new, on-campus UAB softball facility was completed. The improvements haven’t gone unnoticed as UAB has been named as host site for the 2012 Conference USA Softball Championship. The baseball and softball programs also enjoy the hitting and pitching facility additions that were completed in spring 2010. New state-of-the-art video boards are now in place in Bartow Arena, Young Memorial Field and the new softball facility. The upgrades and progress of the program under Mackin have not been limited to facilities and academics. In the last three years, the athletics program entered an agreement with Nike that provides apparel and equipment for all of UAB’s athletics teams. Mackin came on board at UAB in the spring of 2002 as senior associate AD for external affairs. In that role, he was responsible for fund-raising, corporate support and marketing for the athletic

department. In 2006, Mackin was named Division I-A Fundraiser of the Year by the National Association of Athletic Development Directors. Under Mackin’s leadership, contributions to UAB athletics nearly tripled from $1.3 million in 2001 to about $3.7 million in 2006. Additionally, he has been responsible for the creation of several affinity groups including the Athletic Investors Group, the Champion Club, and the Blazer Club, which brought together the two annual funds supporting football and men’s basketball. Prior to joining UAB, Mackin served as Manager of Corporate Business Development at Vulcan Materials, where he was responsible for examining potential new markets for business development and locating growth opportunities in the industry. Mackin earned his bachelor’s degree in finance from UAB in 1983. He was a member of the Blazer baseball team four seasons and then moved into the Houston Astros baseball organization for one season. Mackin then joined Vulcan Materials, where he held management positions in sales and market analysis. In 1990, he joined Southern Ready Mix as sales manager before joining Dunn Construction in 1993 where he rose to vice president in 1999. His responsibilities included business development, sales and project management. Mackin’s community activities include the Birmingham Tip-Off Club, which hosts the State High School Final Four, the Monday Morning Quarterback Club and the Birmingham Rotary Club. He has served as the president of the Birmingham Tip-Off Club. Mackin and his wife, Sally, have five children: Ragland (23), Brian Jr. (21), Ferrell (18), Mary Aileen (17), and Ella (14).

2013 Baseball Administration Dr. Frank Messina, Faculty Athletics Rep Frank M. Messina, professor and chair of the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) Department of Accounting and Information Systems (ACIS) in the UAB School of

Business, was named faculty athletics representative in 2008. He has been on staff at the university for 16 years. Messina has been chair of ACIS since 2002 and is the school’s Ernst & Young Scholar. A Birmingham native, he came to UAB in 1993 as an assistant professor in accounting. He received a doctorate in business administra-

tion (D.B.A.) from Mississippi State University in 1993, a master’s in professional accountancy at MSU in 1990 and a bachelor’s in business administration at the University of West Alabama in 1986. Messina and his wife, Natalie, have two sons: Taylor (18) and TJ (8) and a daughter. A third son, Thomas, passed away last spring at the age of 15.

Gene Bartow Alabama Sports Hall Of Fame ’89 National College Basketball Hall Of Fame ’09

ne of the most respected figures in intercollegiate athletics, Gene Bartow, forged the UAB athletic program into a well-rounded organization with outstanding teams in several sports. Bartow, considered the “founding father” of UAB athletics, grew the intercollegiate sports program there from its infancy into one that featured 17 sports and an annual operating budget of more than $8 million by the time he retired from the position in 2000. Bartow, who passed away Jan. 3, 2012 after a nearly three-year battle with cancer, guided the program through three conference changes, grew the football team from a club sport into a Division I-A program, and added several women’s sports to the university’s athletics roster. Bartow was at the helm of the UAB men’s basketball program for 18 seasons, compiling a record of 366-203 (.643) during his tenure. He led the Blazers to the NIT in the program’s second year of existence, and followed that up with seven straight NCAA Tournament appearances, including trips to the Sweet 16 in 1981 and the Elite Eight in 1982. In all, he led UAB to 14 postseason appearances, nine of which were NCAA Tournaments. In addition to his time at UAB, Bartow is one of the top college basketball coaches of all time. By the time he retired from collegiate coaching in 1996, he had led teams for 34 years at six universities (Central Missouri State, Valparaiso, Memphis State, Illinois, UCLA and UAB), compiling 647 wins, 15 NCAA Tournament appearances, two Final Four appearances, one national title game appearance and one national Coach of the Year Award (both with Memphis State in 1973), and no probation problems with the NCAA. In 2009, Bartow received the ultimate honor as he was inducted into the National College Basketball Hall of Fame. He entered the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame in 1989 and is also a member of both the Missouri Basketball Hall of Fame and the Northeast Missouri Athletic Hall of Fame. The Browning, Mo. native coached 34 years at six universities. He coached at Central Missouri State University from 1961-64, Valparaiso University from 1964-1970, Memphis State University from 1970-74, and he led the Tigers to the ‘73 NCAA national championship game and consecutive Missouri Valley Conference titles in the ‘71-’72 and ‘72-’73 seasons. In 1974 Bartow accepted the head coaching position at the University of Illinois. Illinois finished 8-18 in his only season coaching the Fighting Illini, and Bartow left his position to succeed John Wooden as the head coach of UCLA. Bartow coached at UCLA from 1975 to 1977, guiding them to a 52-9 record, including a berth in the 1976 Final Four. Bartow left UCLA after the 1977 season to take over the job of creating an athletic program at UAB. Bartow retired from coaching in 1996, and in 1997, UAB renamed its basketball venue, Bartow Arena, in his honor. The Birmingham News has voted him one of the top 10 most influential figures in Alabama sports for the past century. Bartow is survived by his wife, the former Ruth Huffine, and three children, Mark, Beth and Murry, who is the head men’s basketball coach at East Tennessee State.

he state-of-the-art, $25 million Campus Recreation Center has covered all the bases. It boasts 18,000 square feet of weight and fitness space outfitted with all-new equiptment and a one-eighth-mile oval running track that juts out of the building, curving toward University Boulevard and 15th Street South to provide panoramic views of the campus. And just to make sure no one gets bored, planners added a five-story, rock-climbing wall. The facility features four basketball courts, five racquetball courts, one of which converts to a squash court and a multi-purpose court that can be used for indoor soccer, volleyball, floor hockey or badminton. There are also four aerobic rooms and a swimming pool with four lap lanes and leisure and physical rehabilitation areas. The handicap-accessible pool has many special features. A continuous current in the “lazy river” carries swimmers around the outer edge of the pool in inner tubes – the ride ends under a waterfall – or individuals can walk against the flow as a part of a physical rehabilitation program. For more intense resistance training, center members can use the “vortex,” a circular area within

the pool with forceful water jets. One of the four aerobics rooms is dedicated to spinning; the others host Pilates, general aerobics, yoga, step, and kickboxing classes along with other specialty offerings. The facility also includes the Kids Zone, a supervised area – equipped with toys, books, and movies – where parents can drop off children while they work out.

The center also has a juice bar, wireless internet access, and an Outdoor Pursuits Center that rents camping gear and leads backpacking, rafting, and skiing trips to desitnations around the United States. The first floor houses a wellness center that coordinates with UAB groups to offer nutritional counseling, body-fat measurements, personal training, and general fitness assessments.
