season outlook

The 2011 season for the Union University baseball team is one of high expecta�ons. The Bulldogs enter the season as the No. 16 ranked team in the NAIA preseason poll and are picked to finish second in the TranSouth Conference preseason coaches’ poll. Union is coming off back-to-back appearances in the NAIA Na�onal Tournament Opening Round. The Bulldogs look to make the next step in 2011. Despite gradua�ng their top weekend starter and five starters in the lineup, Union is reloading to con�nue the momentum started by the previous teams. Union head coach Brent Fronabarger and assistant coach Joseph Talley have assembled 15 newcomers to go along with 13 returning players. Of the 13 returners, three starters are back along with the second, third and fourth best star�ng pitchers from last season. The senior class has just five players, including two that are new to the program in 2011. Returning seniors include Kevin Kirksey, Derek Copley and Dan Beck. Kirksey is the only four-year player and returns a�er pos�ng a .997 fielding percentage and earning a TranSouth Gold Glove award last season at first base. He also was second on the team with three saves. Copley was a first team all-conference performer as a weekend starter last season with eight wins. Beck is coming off his first season as an offensive player, in which he excelled as one of Union’s top pinch-hi�ers. New to the program is right handed pitcher Ma� Fike and ou�ield slugger Oscar Depablos. Both will be counted on o�en this season. The junior class is the largest on the roster with 12 players. Five of the 12 are returning for Union. Jeremey Stack, Danny Grimm, Clint Barnes and Cody Dew are back for their third seasons with the Bulldogs. Stack was the No. 2 weekend starter last season before injury caused him to miss several starts during conference play. However, Stack remains one of the best arms on the staff and will be among the leaders in the rota�on in 2011. Grimm was named a second team all-conference player and gold glove winner at the shortstop posi�on last season. Barnes was one of the leaders in on-base percentage and led the team with 28 steals. Dew returns as a quality arm out of the bullpen, leading all relievers with three wins. Tim Anderson returns for his second season, having provided quality backup at the catching posi�on last season, demonstra�ng a great arm behind the plate by throwing out 4-of-12 would-be base stealers. R.J. Rayborn, Kian Jost, Doug Joyce, Bre� Pawlen, Ben Mon�cello, Bryan Hill and Jus�n Bryan are all new to the program this season. Each will be called on o�en to contribute to the success of the team. Six sophomores are on the roster, including four returning a�er a successful freshman season. Jared Davis went 8-1 on the season as a starter, earning a second team all-conference selec�on. Benjie Fesmire pitched in six games and also played in the field for Union as a freshman. David Leisey saw limited ac�on out of the bullpen, but will be called on more after developing his game as a freshman. Cole McAdams sat out last season, but made a huge impact as a freshman in 2009, earning a gold glove at first base. He is the team’s most versa�le infielder, plus a very valuable s�ck at the plate. Colin Hatch will red-shirt this season a�er going 2-0 with a save in eight appearances last season. He missed the second half of the season with an injury. Derek Roof is new to the program and the right-hander will add more depth to the pitching rota�on as a sophomore. The freshman class includes five players. Kyle Bryan, Logan McDougall, Jim Mar�n, Mar�n Key and Wacey Russell. Bryan, McDougall and Russell will each provide depth in the ou�ield. Mar�n and Key will solidify the infield. The Bulldogs face a tough schedule in 2011. Union plays at No. 1 Cumberland April 1-2. Cumberland is the defending NAIA Na�onal Champion, and is picked to repeat as conference champs. Union’s win over Cumberland in the conference tournament last season was the only loss for Cumberland in their final 29 games of the season. Conference opponents Bethel (Tenn.) and Trevecca Nazarene (Tenn.) are receiving votes in the preseason rankings. In the non-conference schedule, Union plays several ranked opponents. Union host No. 18 South Carolina-Beaufort on Feb. 5. and No. 12 Belhaven (Miss.) on March 16. On March 21, Union plays No. 6 Embry-Riddle (Fla.) in Lebenon, Tenn. and then at No. 12 Belhaven on March 29. Union host NCAA DII opponent North Alabama on April 26. Fronabarger will be leading this team in his sixth season. He is just 30 wins shy of 200 for his career (170-98-1, .633).

KEVIN KIRKSEY

6-4 • 225 lbs. • Senior • R/R • 1B/Pitcher Hometown: Gastonia, North Carolina Previous School: Ashbrook High School Birthday: October 16

Coach’s Comments. Kevin is a solid player that contributes as an everyday player and a pitcher. From the beginning of his freshman year to now, he has made the biggest improvement of anyone on our team. Kevin is the best first baseman in the country when it comes to defense. Offensively, he has developed into a complete player. I expect Kevin to provide pop to the bo�om third of our lineup. On the mound, Kevin is a versa�le guy that can start or pitch in relief. We expect Kevin to contribute in relief this season.

6-3 • 215 lbs. • Senior • R/R • Pitcher Hometown: Dyer, Tennessee Previous School: Univ. of Southern Mississippi Birthday: August 23

Coach’s Comments. Derek is the hardest worker on our staff. We expect him to anchor our weekend rota�on this spring. A�er a first team all-conference selec�on in 2010, he is poised to improve on those results in 2011. Derek is a fierce compe�tor that wants the ball when it ma�ers most. He possesses a good fastball to go along with a great curve ball. His leadership and desire are what makes him special.

DAN BECK

6-2 • 195 lbs. • Senior• R/R • OF/Pitcher Hometown: Columbus, Georgia Previous School: Middle Georgia CC Birthday: September 23

Coach’s Comments. Dan was our best pinch-hi�er last year. He has shown the ability to drive the baseball. He will have the opportunity for quality at-bats early. With solid defense, he can be an everyday contributor. Dan provides punch from the right side of the plate. His ability to give us quality at bats off the bench makes him so valuable. Union Career. 2009...pitched in nine games, all in relief...was 0-1 in 9.1 innings with 12 strikeouts. 2010...moved to the offense...hit .300 with six hits, eight runs, two home runs and eight RBI in 20 at bats, mostly in a pinch hi�ng role.

Coach’s Comments. Along with Danny, Clint is our offensive table se�er. Coming of a great sophomore year, we expect much of the same in 2011. Clint can handle the bat and run. He finds ways to get on base (.456 OB%) and steal bases (28 last season). Because of hard work, he has made himself into a solid all-around player. On defense, Clint will move from le� to center field. Clint will lead our ou�ield this spring. Expect a great season from Clint.

About the NAIA

The purpose of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) is to promote the education and development of students through intercollegiate athletic participation. Member institutions, although varied and diverse, share a common commitment to high standards and to the principle that participation in athletics serves as an integral part of the total educational process. The NAIA embraces the concept of the student and recognizes the importance of the individuality of each member institution, the value of the conferences and Association of Independent Institutions (A.I.I.) structure, and the benefits of membership in a national association. The NAIA supports gender equity. Gender equity is an atmosphere and reality where fair distribution of overall athletic opportunity and resources, proportionate to enrollment, are available to women and men, and where no student-athlete, coach or athletics administrator is discriminated against in any way in the athletics program. That is to say, an athletics program is gender-equitable when the men’s sports program would be pleased to accept as its own the overall participation opportunities and resources currently allocated to the women’s sports program and vice versa.

Advancing sport with innovative change

The NAIA has 50,000 student-athletes participating at nearly 300 member colleges and universities throughout the United States and Canada. Divided into 25 conferences and the Association of Independent Institutions (A.I.I.), the NAIA offers 23 championships in 13 sports. Since 1937, the NAIA has continued a long tradition of pushing the envelope and making a positive difference in the lives of students, coaches and parents. The Champions of Character program is the latest cutting-edge addition to the NAIA’s proud history of innovation (www.championsofcharacter.org). Through Champions of Character, the NAIA seeks to create an environment in which every studentathlete, coach, official and spectator are committed to the true spirit of competition through the five core values: respect, integrity, responsibility, servant leadership and sportsmanship.
