2012 Tennessee Volunteer Baseball Game Notes
DAVE SERRANO HEAD COACH
12
First Season at Tennessee Overall Record: 310-154-1 (.668) Cerritos College, 1985 Trinity College & University, 2003
Following a nationwide search, Dave 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. A former UT assistant, he was welcomed back to the Big Orange family on June 15, 2011. A veteran of seven College World Series and one of just 11 coaches to lead two different programs to Omaha, Serrano arrives at Rocky Top with a career record of 289-139-1 (.675) in seven seasons as a Division I head coach. After leading UC Irvine to the 2007 CWS in his third year at the helm of the Anteaters, he moved on to Cal State Fullerton where he averaged 43.75 wins per season in his four campaigns with the Titans, including an appearance in Omaha in 2009. Serrano, 46, returns to the site of his first Division I job, as he 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 recently finished his fourth season as the head coach at Cal State Fullerton, where he earned Big West Coach of the Year honors for the second season in a row after leading the Titans to their 20th consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance. He previously claimed Baseball America National Coach of the Year accolades after guiding UC Irvine to the first College World Series appearance in program history in 2007. During his 17 seasons at the Division I level, Serrano has posted an impeccable track record that includes continuous top 25 recruiting classes and 16 postseason bids. He has also tutored 161 draft picks, including seven first-round selections, dating back to the start of his coaching career at Cerritos College in 1988, a total of 23 of which have reached the Major League level. Serrano graduated from Cerritos High School in 1982 and played two seasons at Cerritos College. In 1985, he went 12-1 and earned junior college All-American honors while helping the Falcons to a 39-5 record en route to the state championship. Serrano then pitched for Augie Garrido’s 1986 Cal State Fullerton squad, posting a 3-4 record with one save in 15 appearances. In 2010, Serrano represented his country for the first time in his career, serving as the pitching coach for Bill Kinneberg’s USA Baseball Collegiate National Team. He helped coach the team, which included Titan pupils Nick Ramirez and Noe Ramirez, to a V FISU Championship silver medal in Tokyo, Japan. Serrano has coached 19 players that have starred for USA Baseball National Teams, including Helton, Dickey and Augie Ojeda from Tennessee. Serrano holds a bachelor’s degree from Trinity College and University (2003) and was born on June 28, 1964, in Torrence, Calif. He and his wife, Tracy, have three sons, Kyle, Zachary and Parker.
TWO PROGAMS TO OMAHA
“Coach Serrano was the pitching coach when I was at Tennessee, and it was obvious even then that he was going to be a very successful head coach down the road. He has certainly proven that, taking both UC Irvine and Cal State Fullerton to the College World Series. He is extremely knowledgeable about the game of baseball, and Vol fans should be very excited that we were able to steal him away. I look forward to him getting the Tennessee program back on the winning track.” -- Todd Helton, former Vol and five-time MLB All-Star “Dave is a guy that believes in the legacy of Tennessee baseball and I feel like that is a big part of what this program is all about. I know it was when I was here. I’m certainly aware that I am no more than the product of people that poured into me well and loved on me well while I was here, two of them being Bill Mosiello and Dave Serrano. I think whatever level of talent I brought into UT from high school, they cultivated it.” -- R.A. Dickey , former Vol and current New York Mets Pitcher “I think the world of him, not only as a baseball coach, but as a business man and a people person. From the chair I sit in, the Tennessee’s search has been a very successful venture and will be putting a coach in a position to make a significant impact for the sport of baseball at that university. The SEC is already a great league and the addition of Dave only makes it even more competitive. He is simply one of the brightest young minds in college baseball.” -- George Horton, Oregon baseball coach “Coach Serrano is, without question, one of the best coaches in all of baseball today, at any level. He has a unique ability to not just put together great teams but to build a successful and sustainable program that will be known as one of excellence both on and off the field. He is a great friend and has an amazing wife and family. The Vols have hit a grand slam with this hire and I look for Tennessee to be in Omaha in the very near future.” -- Jim Schlossnagle, TCU baseball coach

Notes on the Vols... IF YOU BUILD IT, THEY WILL COME...
It hasn’t taken long for fans in Knoxville to buy in to Coach Serrano and the Vols. Tennessee has already had 10 home crowds of 2,000+, which is four more than it had all of last season. The UT-Florida series saw 9,516 fans click the turnstiles at Lindsey Nelson Stadium, making it the second-highest attended series in school history. Only the 1994 series against the Gators has been better, as it had a total of 11,280 fans on hand. Tennessee set a school record for the highest-attended home opener when 2,812 fans were on hand to witness the start of the Dave Serrano era on Feb. 17.
20 IN A HURRY
The Vols needed just 30 games to reach 20 wins this season, their fastest path to that mark since going 20-8 to open the 2005 campaign, which resulted in a trip to the College World Series.
MR. WIZARD
Senior shortstop Zach Osborne has been a defensive wizard for Tennessee this season, having committed just three errors in the first 36 games for a fielding percentage of .984. Osborne had a streak of 80 consecutive defensive chances without a miscue snapped on March 28 vs. Mississippi Valley State. Among SEC shortstops with at least 25 starts at the position in 2012, Osborne currently sports the highest fielding percentage and is tied for the fewest errors.

OSBORNE THE IRONMAN
The only four-year starter on the UT roster, senior shortstop Zach Osborne is likely to play more games in the Orange and White than almost anyone in Tennessee history. The Louisville, Ky., native has played in 197 games in his collegiate career, pushing him past fellow Louisville native Chris Burke, former teammate Josh Liles and Brandon Hopkins into eighth in school history.

Osborne started 148 consecutive games, spanning a total of 795 days, before a bruised finger kept him out of the lineup for two games late during the 2010 campaign. Since returning to the lineup on May 17, 2011 vs. Belmont, Osborne has started his last 40 games. Page 4
SAVING THE DAY
After opening the year in the starting rotation, junior Nick Blount has found a new home in the UT bullpen, taking complete control of the closer role. Blount switched roles with sophomore Nick Williams, who became a starter, on March 18. Since then, all he has done is record nine saves in nine save opportunities, including seven in seven consecutive games and two in one day. Blount became the first pitcher in Tennessee history to record seven saves in seven straight games as he did so March 27-April 6, with two against MVSU, three versus Alabama and one against both Memphis and South Carolina His last two against the Tide both came on the same day as he helped close out UT’s sweep. Blount has rocketed up both the UT single-season and career saves charts, already placing 4th on both lists. He also ranks 9th in school history with 57 appearances, tying him with Dusty Johnson (01-04).

TAKING THEIR DOSES
With Tennessee batters having been hit by a pitch 66 times this season, they have already surpassed their total of 58 for the entire 2011 campaign (54 games). The Vols currently rank seventh in the NCAA in hit by pitch.
LAYIN' IT DOWN
For someone who has no recollection of ever laying down a sac bunt until his freshman year of college, Chris Fritts sure has figured it out. The junior outfielder is currently tied for the SEC lead with eight sacrifice bunts. As a team, Tennessee ranks second in the SEC with 36 sac bunts, behind only Auburn’s total of 38.
RISING TO THE CHALLENGE
Tennessee has defeated five ranked teams this season, downing No. 16 Texas, No. 2 Kentucky, No. 19 Georgia, No. 10 South Carolina and No. 4 Florida. The common denominator in three of those contests was UT starting pitcher Zack Godley who started against the Longhorns, Wildcats and Gamecocks, posting a 2-0 record, a 2.61 ERA and 13 strikeouts in 20.2 IP in those games. For the year, Godley is now 4-2 with a 3.81 ERA in a team-leading 56.2 innings, spanning nine starts. He has struck out 44 and walked just 12 while holding opposing hitters to a .257 batting average.
WHATEVER IT TAKES...
Tennessee will take runs any way it can get them. So far this season, the Vols have already scored a run 20 different ways. How the Vols Have Scored How Runs How Runs Balk 5 Fielding Error 5 Walk 3 Wild Pitch 6 Hit By Pitch 2 Groundout 11 Infield Single 7 Double Play 2 Bunt Single 1 Safety Squeeze 8 Single 33 Suicide Squeeze 1 Double 25 Fielder’s Choice 6 Triple 5 Sacrifice Fly 14 Home Run 22 Passed Ball on K 1 Stolen Base 2 TOTAL 165 Throwing Error 6
Tennessee has already had eight innings in which it has scored at least one run without the benefit of even a single hit this season, totaling 13 runs in those frames. The Vols accomplished the feat twice in one game against Mississippi Valley State on March 27, scoring three runs in those two frames.
HAVE A MONTH BUDDY
After going just 1-for-13 in the month of February, senior Davis Morgan found another gear in March, hitting .390 (23-for-59) with three doubles, a home run and 11 RBIs over 18 games. Morgan hit safely in 14 of those 18 games, recording six multi-hit contests. He also hit .393 (11for-28) with runners on base, including a .400 mark (6-for-15) with runners in scoring position and was 11-for-21 (.524) with two outs.
WHEREVER I WIND UP
Former Vol and current New York Mets pitcher R.A. Dickey’s memoir, entitled “Wherever I Wind Up: My Quest for Truth, Authenticity and the Perfect Knuckleball,” officially went on sale Thursday, March 29. In it, he details a difficult childhood and describes his long journey in Major League Baseball. Dickey became the 18th person inducted into the Tennessee Baseball Hall of Fame at the program’s annual preseason banquet, held this year on Jan. 18.
WILLIAMS GETS THE NOD
The team’s closer for much of his short career, sophomore Nick Williams has grabbed hold of a role in the starting rotation. He opened his stint as a starter with 13.2 consecutive shutout innings, spanning his first two starts and part of his third. In his five starts, he has a 3.60 ERA with 11 strikeouts and 14 hits allowed.
VOLS IN THE PROS
With the start of the 2012 MLB campaign last week, five former Vols were named to the Opening Day roster for a Major League ball club. Vols on Opening Day MLB Rosters Player Years at UT MLB Team J.P.

300 AND COUNTING...
Tennessee skipper Dave Serrano picked up his 300th career win and first SEC victory in the Vols’ last contest as they shut out No. 19 Georgia, 3-0, in Athens. Serrano’s lifetime record now stands at 310-1541 (.668) in eight seasons as a Division I head coach.

SERRANO ALREADY MAKING HISTORY
Head Coach Dave Serrano helped lead the Vols to the second-best start in school history, as they tallied seven straight wins to open the 2012 campaign. The 7-0 start also marked the best by any UT skipper to start his Tennessee managerial career, topping the previous mark of 4-0 set by William H. Newman in 1902 and tied by Z.G. Clevenger in 1911.

GODLEY DOWNS CATS, EARNS PITCHER OF THE WEEK HONORS
After tossing eight strong innings to lead Tennessee to a 4-1 victory over No. 2 Kentucky on Friday, March 23, snapping the Wildcats’ 22-game winning streak and handing them their first loss of the season, junior right-hander Zack Godley was named the SEC Pitcher of the Week, CB360 Primetime Performer of the Week and the College Baseball Insider Southeast Region Pitcher of the Week. Godley became just the 14th Volunteer pitcher to earn the SEC honors, joining the likes of R.A. Dickey, Todd Helton and Luke Hochevar, and just the third to do so since the 2007 campaign with the last player being Bryan Morgado in 2010. In the win over Kentucky, Godley held the tophitting team in the SEC to just one run on three hits and struck out four over a career-high tying 8.0 innings. After yielding a first-inning run, he retired 21 of the final 25 batters that he faced and didn’t allow anyone past first base over the next seven frames.
VOLS RETURN TO HOUSTON COLLEGE CLASSIC
Tennessee made its third appearance in the Houston College Classic when it made the trek to the Lone Star State, March 2-4. The Vols dropped a 7-4 decision to Houston on the first day before bouncing back with an impressive, 5-4, triumph over No. 16 Texas on Saturday. UT then fell to Rice, 11-1, in the final game of the weekend. Senior shortstop Zach Osborne was named to the all-tournament team. The event was held at the home of the Houston Astros, Minute Maid Park. The Vols previously participated in the event in both 2005 and 2008.
VOLS HOOK HORNS DEEP IN HEART OF TEXAS
Led by a career-high seven strong innings on the mound from Zack Godley, Tennessee defeated No. 16 Texas, 5-4, at Minute Maid Park in the Houston College Classic on March 3. The win marked UT’s first over a ranked squad since it swept a doubleheader from then No. 15 Vanderbilt in Knoxville on April 10, 2010.
PUPIL TAKES DOWN THE TEACHER
When the Vols defeated No. 16 Texas, 5-4, at the Houston College Classic on March 3, it marked Dave Serrano’s third career victory, first at Tennessee, over his former head coach Augie Garrido. Serrano made 15 appearances as part of Garrido’s pitching staff at Cal State Fullerton in 1986. En route to the program’s first College World Series berth, Serrano’s UC-Irvine squad also defeated Texas twice in the Round Rock Regional in the 2007 NCAA Tournament.
ROOF OVER UT’S HEAD
In the 103-year history of the Tennessee baseball program, the Vols have played 22 games in domes or stadiums with retractable roofs, posting a 12-10 record in those contests. UT is 4-3 in the Kingdome, playing in the College Baseball Classic in Seattle, Wash., in 1992 and 1994.
The Vols played in the Hormel Foods Classic in the Metrodome in 1996 and 2002, going 5-1 in games played in the Minneapolis, Minn., venue. Including its three games this season, Tennessee is 3-6 at Minute Maid Park with a pair of wins over Texas and and another over Oklahoma State.
IT’S A MARATHON, NOT A SPRINT
The Vols took that saying a little too literally on Tuesday, Feb. 21, when they played a 13-inning, four hour, 48-minute contest, the longest in school history, against Western Kentucky. In that game, UT was down to its last strike on two occasions, rallying from a run down in both the ninth and 11th innings. The game broke the previous school record of four hours, 30 minutes set against Morehead State on Feb. 26, 1989. The 13-inning game was the longest (by innings) for the Vols since it played 13 against Arkansas on May 26, 2004, in the SEC Tournament.
STECKENRIDER NAMED SEC POTW
Junior Drew Steckenrider got the season off to a scalding start, earning the first SEC Player of the Week honor of the season. Hitting out of the cleanup spot, the 6-5 switchhitting junior reached base 11 times in 14 plate appearances, going 5-for-8 (.625) with a pair of doubles and his second career home run. He also served as the team’s Opening Day starter, picking up the win after allowing just two hits and no runs and striking out two in his pre-determined four innings of work.
VOLS UNVEIL NEW UNIS
Tennessee unveiled a new set of uniforms designed to create more of a traditional look for the Vols when they hit the field this season. “It brings back a little bit of history to UT baseball and I think it gives us a sharp look,” Serrano said. In addition to the team’s black batting practice top, Tennessee will also have separate orange and white tops with black piping and script Vols across

ALL THE NEW FACES
In addition to an entirely new coaching staff, the Vols have also welcomed a grand total of 18 newcomers to the squad as well. The revamped UT roster actually features more new players than returning (16). The group of first-year Vols is comprised of 13 true freshmen, four junior college players and one transfer from a four-year school. There are four outfielders, five infielders, one catcher and eight pitchers, including six right-handers and two southpaws.
GOOD BLOODLINES
Tennessee junior Zach Luther, a transfer infielder from Fullerton Junior College, is the son of former NFL quarterback Ed Luther. He played six seasons in the NFL, mostly withthe San Diego Chargers, and amassed nearly 3,200 career passing yards before spending the 1985 season as a quarterback for the USFL’s Jacksonville Bulls. Vol freshman right-handed pitcher Eric Martin is the son of former Tennessee swimmer Kent Martin, who was a five-time SEC champion and was a member of the 1978 national champion swim team.
VOLS ON TELEVISION

VOLS NOT FAZED BY SEC POLL
The Southeastern Conference released its annual preseason coaches’ poll with Tennessee projected to finish sixth in the Eastern Division. While not the most ideal place to start the season, Serrano and his staff just see it as another opportunity and another challenge to overcome. “We want to prove it on the field,” Serrano said. “You look at all the polls around the country, the Baseball America’s and all that, that’s someone’s opinion. The game is still played on the field. We get that opportunity 30 times in the SEC and 55 times over the course of the year. My approach and my coaching staff’s approach this year is every day that we suit up in a uniform, we get the opportunity to be the best team on the field that day.

2012 Tennessee Volunteer Baseball Game Notes
RENOVATIONS CONTINUE AT LINDSEY NELSON STADIUM
Tennessee fans will notice a number of changes to Lindsey Nelson Stadium when they return for the first time in 2012. The most noticeable will be the new black padded wall in the outfield designed to provide more protection for players and create a cleaner, more simple look. In conjunction, the batter’s eye has been painted black as well. Another addition at LNS is the new playground on top of the batting cages down the right-field line for young Vol fans to enjoy during the game.
JOHNSON SETS EXAMPLE FOR MADDOX
Tennessee freshman second baseman Will Maddox will look to follow the example set this fall by a fellow first-year Vol and Gainesville High School graduate, A.J. Johnson. Maddox’s former prep classmate was named a freshman All-American by five different publications, including the Football Writers Association of America, Yahoo! Sports, Phil Steele, The Sporting News and FoxSports, after racking up 80 tackles for the Vol football team as its starting weakside linebacker.
