DAVE SERRANO HEAD COACH

SERRANO LEADS TEAM USA IN 2012

18

Fourth Season at Tennessee Overall Record: 375-231-1 (.618) Cerritos College, 1985 Trinity College & University, 2003

Entering his fourth season at the helm of the Tennessee Baseball Program, Head Coach Dave Serrano’s efforts to revitalize and return the Volunteers into a nationally elite competitor continue to hold strong. Along with renewing a sense of excitement and optimism among his players, staff and Volunteer Nation, Serrano has brought a winning atmosphere to Rocky Top and in 2014, he led Tennessee to its first SEC Tournament appearance since 2007 with a 31-23 record, the program’s best mark since 2010. Serrano’s energy and passion for the University of Tennessee, combined with his impeccable track record of success, made him the choice to become the 24th head coach of the Volunteer baseball program following a nationwide search after the 2010 campaign. A former UT assistant, he was officially welcomed back to the Big Orange family on June 15, 2011. Since his arrival, the baseball program has witnessed an improved emphasis on recruitment and development, with the head coach and his staff securing four consecutive Top-20 recruiting classes for Rocky Top since 2012. In four years, Serrano has brought Tennessee back into the ranks of a national Top-25 status and now looks to set his team’s sights on the postseason and beyond. The Orange and White’s first campaign under Serrano saw it record wins over half of the 2011 College World Series field, downing No. 16 Texas, No. 10 South Carolina, No. 4 Florida and Vanderbilt. The Vols roared out of the gates, winning their first seven games to get off to the then-second best start in school history. That 7-0 record also marked the best by any UT skipper to start his Tennessee managerial career, topping the previous record of 4-0 last attained over 100 years prior in 1911. Following his first season at Tennessee, Serrano was awarded the honor of serving as the head coach of the 2012 USA Baseball Collegiate National Team. With the opportunity to coach elite college players from all parts of the country, he led the squad to a 12-5 record and a bronze medal win at Honkbal Week in the Netherlands. When Serrano returned for his second season on Rocky Top, the 2013 Volunteers featured one of the youngest teams in the nation with a NCAA-leading 18 true freshmen on the roster. Nevertheless, UT posted a series victory over No. 13 Kentucky and wins over No. 14 Arkansas and perennial power No. 20 Arizona State. In 2014, Serrano made Tennessee history and led the Vols to their best season start in program history, going 12-0 to start the year. The team stayed the course, jumping into Top 25 rankings for several weeks, to finish with a 31-23 record and make their first SEC Tournament appearance since 2007. A veteran of seven College World Series and one of just 12 coaches to lead two different programs to Omaha, Serrano entered his fourth season at Rocky Top with a career record of 366-223-1 (.621) in ten seasons as a Division I head coach. After leading UC Irvine to the 2007 CWS in his third year with the Anteaters, he moved on to Cal State Fullerton where he averaged 43.75 wins per season in his four seasons with the Titans, including an appearance in Omaha in 2009. Having returned to the site of his first Division I job, Serrano served two seasons as an assistant coach at Tennessee from 1995-96, following seven years at Cerritos Junior College. His first taste of Omaha came as a Volunteer as he helped lead a Big Orange squad featuring all-time UT greats Todd Helton and R.A. Dickey to the College World Series for the first time in over four decades in 1995. During Serrano’s first stint in Knoxville, Tennessee posted an impressive 97- 36 (.729) record, including a school-record 54 wins in 1995. Serrano holds a bachelor’s degree from Trinity College and University (2003). He and his wife, Tracy, have three sons, Kyle, Zach and Parker.

Following his first season at Tennessee, Serrano was awarded the honor of serving as the head coach of the 2012 USA Baseball Collegiate National Team which he led to a 12-5 record and a bronze medal at Honkbal Week in the Netherlands. After opening its training with 10 days in North Carolina where it played a selection of collegiate summer teams and participated in the second annual Prospect Classic with the USA Baseball 18U squad, Serrano then led the Collegiate National Team into uncharted territory as it became the first U.S. squad to travel to Cuba to take on its national team in 16 years. Despite playing a veteran Cuban squad which featured 12 players who have competed in the World Baseball Classic and four who have done so twice, the Collegiate National Team proved its mettle by bookending the five-game series at Latin American Stadium in Havana with victories. That series would continue in the Netherlands where they split two more decisions as the U.S. went 5-2 during Honkbal Week to claim the bronze.

Notes on the Vols... STEADY ROTATION

 Tennessee’s staff holds a collective 2.86 ERA over 17 games, the seventh-best mark in the SEC.  One week after being named SEC Co-Pitcher of the Week, senior righty Bret Marks is slated to make the Friday night start against the Bulldogs and LHP Jared Walsh (2-0). Marks’ 1.17 ERA ranks fourth in the SEC entering competition this weekend.  In Game Two, it’s a lefty-on-lefty matchup for the second SEC Saturday in a row for Tennessee, as junior Drake Owenby gets the starting nod against UGA’s LHP Ryan Lawlor (2-3). Owenby (1-2) owns a 2.81 ERA over five games (four starts) and looks to improve on his 24 strikeouts this season, ranking second on the team to Marks’ 35.  Right-handed sophomore Kyle Serrano leads the Vols into the series finale against the Bulldogs, as Tennessee wraps up their first SEC weekend at home this season. Entering weekend competition, Serrano’s .188 opposing batters average ranks 10th in the league.

GEORGIA BOYS ON ROCKY TOP

¢ The Vols boast five Georgia natives on their roster this season, including right-handed pitchers Bret Marks and Richard Jackson, outfielders Vincent Jackson and Christin Stewart and first baseman Nathaniel Maggio. ¢ Growing up in the Greater Atlanta area, senior Bret Marks and sophomore Nathaniel Maggio played baseball together as teammates at Blessed Trinity Catholic High School. ¢ During his prep career in Georgia, Christin Stewart launched 69 home runs at Providence Christian Academy in Lawrenceville, Ga., tying Major League Baseball player Micah Owings for the Georgia state career record and finishing just shy of the national record of 75.

MIDWEEK RECAP

¢ The Volunteers battled Austin Peay through four scoreless frames to start Tuesday’s contest, but the Vols came out on top in a 3-0 decision at Lindsey Nelson Stadium. ¢ The 3-0 victory marked Tennessee’s second shutout win of the season and the first shutout victory over Austin Peay since a 16-0 win on March 16, 1983, in Knoxville. ¢ In his second career start on Rocky Top, freshman lefty Zach Warren threw 5.0 scoreless innings and allowed just three hits. He struck out a careerhigh five batters en route to earning his first career win as a Volunteer. ¢ The Vols scattered six hits on the Governors, led by Christin Stewart (2-for-3) and Jeff Moberg (1-for-2, HR, RBI). After a slow start, Tennessee beat Austin Peay onto the boards in the fifth inning as junior third baseman Jeff Moberg recorded his first career home run off of Govs starter Zach Hall. Moberg connected with the first pitch of his at-bat to send one over the left field wall and give UT a 1-0 lead.

VOLS ON THE SEC CHARTS

¢ Junior outfielder Vincent Jackson leads the Vols with a .390 batting average on the season, which also ranks 10th in the SEC. His .500 on-base percentage is the ninth-best mark in the league. ¢ Junior outfielder Christin Stewart leads the league in hit-by-pitch numbers with nine on the year. He also owns a .690 slugging percentage, sixth-best in the league. ¢ Sophomore second baseman Nick Senzel is tied for fourth in the league with three triples in 2015. ¢ Junior shortstop A.J. Simcox ranks tied for fourth place in the SEC with five sac bunts on the season, while he is now the all-time leader in career sacrifice bunts at Tennessee with 31.
