BLUE KNIGHT HEAD COACH MIKE GOLDSCHMIDT Mike Goldschmidt took over the Blue Knight baseball program on August 1, 2007. In his first ten months at the helm, Goldschmidt guided Urbana University to a win over an NCAA Division I team, a ranking as high as No. 3 in Region IX, and the program's first NAIA Region IX Tournament victory. During his first season in the Royal Blue and White, Goldschmidt achieved a major career milestone. On April 4th, Urbana defeated Walsh University 7-6 in 10 innings, landing Goldschmidt the 200th win of his head coaching career. Immediately after the season, Goldschmidt saw the first Blue Knight baseball player sign with a major league baseball organization when junior pitcher Jaeson Hudnall inked a deal with the Kansas City Royals. Prior to the 2008 season, Urbana was picked to finish eighth in the preseason American Mideast Conference poll. The Blue Knights surprised many, finishing fourth and earning a berth to the Region IX tournament where they shut out top-seeded Malone, 4-0. That happened to be the only shut out the Pioneers' suffered all season. Urbana advanced to postseason play by sweeping the last two games against World Series qualifier and rival, Ohio Dominican. Urbana finished Goldschmidt's first year at 28-21. Ace Jaeson Hudnall was named 1st team All-Conference before signing with the Kansas City Royals that summer. After the 2008 season, Urbana University left the NAIA and American Mideast Conference in preparation for the school's transition to NCAA Division II. In 2009, the Blue Knights finished 23-21 and defeated their first ranked D2 opponents: University of Montevallo and Northern Kentucky University. For the second year in a row, Goldschmidt's Blue Knights knocked off another D-I opponent (Chicago State). Jordan Baker was named the D-II Independent Player of the Year, setting the single season school record in batting average (.497) and home runs (15). His .497 batting average was tops in the NCAA that season. Following his senior year, Baker signed with the Florence Freedom in May of 2009. Other All-Independent selections from that 2009 team included Russ Chambers (1st team) and Dustin Lacy (2nd team). In 2010, Urbana finished 19-21, playing mostly a D-II independent schedule that featured 9 games against ranked opponents. As a team, the Blue Knights hit a robust .341. The Blue Knights placed four members on the D-II All-Independent team. Andrew Harrell, Matt Mays, and Shane Pfouts were all 1st teamers, while Brad Cockerill and Matt Murphy earned 2nd team honors. The 2011 baseball season marked Urbana University's first as official members of NCAA Division II. Urbana raced out to a 14-16 record despite losing 9 seniors after the 2010 season. Unfortunately, a rash of injuries, coupled with ambitious scheduling, sent the Blue Knights reeling down the stretch. A 10-game losing streak ended Urbana's season at 14-26, but the squad still managed to finish 4th in the country amongst D-II Independents, landing three players on the All-Independent Team. In all, Urbana lost 12 games by two runs or less, all while starting four or five freshmen most games. Goldschmidt enters 2012 with an 84-89-1 mark in his 4 seasons at Urbana. In 9 seasons coaching at the collegiate level, Goldschmidt is 273-181-1 for a winning percentage over .600. The team graduated 5 players last spring, including First Team All-Independent pitcher Wes Rehmert and 4 regular starters. Replacing that many quality seniors will be difficult, but Goldschmidt has proven over and over again that he is more than capable of overcoming adversity. With the move to NCAA Division II behind them, Goldschmidt's team is excited about raising the bar in 2012. The team is now eligible for NCAA post-season play, and the program appears primed and ready to have a breakout year. In order to be the best, Goldschmidt is ready to take on the best in D-II, never shying away from the top competition in the country. The Blue Knights knocked off #30 Montevallo on Spring Break in 2009, and they have shown they are capable of hanging with some of top talent in their region. Mike is married to Jodi. Together, they have a son, Mitchell (6). BLUE KNIGHT BASEBALL
