2010 WEST VIRGINIA BASEBALL
STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING
2010 WEST VIRGINIA BASEBALL
Physically and Mentally Tough
Strength And Conditioning Mission Statement
To provide athletes with the knowledge, character, extrinsic
motivation, discipline and training to reach their potential both personally and athletically.
Student-athletes are offered the opportunity to train in some of
the nation’s best facilities and with one of the nation’s best staffs.
Physical development and dominance have been and continue to
be traits that are equated with WVU.
The athlete’s self confidence and unwavering dedication have
driven him/her into the nation’s spotlight. This is made possible through the give-and-take relationships between the athletes and staff.
The WVU strength and conditioning staff is committed to enabling
athletes to achieve their dreams.
STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING Athletic excellence and strength and conditioning go hand-in-hand at West Virginia University. Long regarded as one of the nation’s finest strength programs, the strength and conditioning coaches at WVU ensure that all student-athletes are kept at the peak of their total fitness capabilities. “Our strength program here is second to none. The entire staff cares tremendously about our baseball program and players,” said coach Greg Van Zant. “Combining our facilities with our excellent strength program, it doesn’t get any better, and that’s a huge reason why we’ve had players who have been All-Americans, all-conference or getting drafted and playing baseball. We really emphasize player development, and a big part of their development is their strength.” To keep athletes in tip-top condition, West Virginia offers a variety of training areas and a vast array of strength programs. Equipped with excellent amenities and staffed by some of the finest strength coaches in the nation, athletes who come to West Virginia know that they are in good hands when it comes to fitness. Weight Lifting The lifting portion of the baseball routine is used to improve overall strength, power and explosion. This is accomplished through cycled periodization of Olympic lifts, conventional weight lifting techniques, plyometrics, agility and speed work and proper nutrition along with intense conditioning.
Proper Nutrition Each athlete is educated on correct dietary habits and essential vitamins and minerals necessary to be an elite athlete. The athletes have the opportunity to meet with nutritionists, go on guided grocery store tours and receive diets designed specifically for them. Core Training For baseball players, the abdominal and low back regions are the units that tie the upper and lower extremities’ power together. In order to have excellent maneuverability and transfer of power, an athlete must have superior balance and strength in this core region. Training of the core region occurs three times per week using balance balls, medicine balls and other baseball specific drills. Conditioning Rigorous conditioning designed to elicit physiological changes in the body’s bioenergetics systems occur four times a week with the emphasis on anaerobic and baseball aerobic conditioning. The Weight Rooms Accomplishing those conditioning requirements occurs in several weight rooms on campus. Housing almost 15 tons of total weight, the Mountaineer weight room is located in the Puskar Center at Mountaineer Field. The 22,000-square foot weight room features a three-lane track for conditioning and 40 times, one of only two collegiate weight rooms to have such a track. Seven power platforms and 40 pieces of Hammer Strength weight equipment make the facility the envy of all opponents. Weight rooms also exist in the WVU Coliseum and Shell Building facilities.

Being Flexible An increase in stride length, frequency and range of motion in joint to tendon relationships is directly correlated to speed, agility and injury prevention. Therefore it is important to make flexibility an area of emphasis. Good flexibility helps to improve speed, agility and reduces the risk of injury. Each workout is preceded with a dynamic flexibility routine with regular stretching and followed by a post-flexibility routine at the end of every workout.
community service
2010 WEST VIRGINIA BASEBALL
Active in the community
“Our student-athletes take great pride in community service activities both locally and throughout the state. Taking the time to visit a local hospital or nursing home can serve as a healthy distraction from what’s going on medically. This state is full of wonderful people and our coaches and student-athletes are always willing to lend a hand.” - Ed Pastilong, Director of Athletics
community service
2010 WEST VIRGINIA BASEBALL
Representing West Virginia University, the city of Morgantown and the state of West Virginia in a charitable manner is important to the WVU baseball team. Besides training and studying everyday as part of their student-athlete duties, the Mountaineers are always ready and willing to give back to those that make Morgantown a kind-hearted and good-natured community. “It’s very important for our team to get out in the community,” said coach Greg Van Zant. “Our players and coaches enjoy community service projects and giving back to the Morgantown area and the state. Our guys are always eager to go out and help people that are less fortunate than they are.” One of the many traditions that the West Virginia baseball program enjoys is preparing, enhancing and improving the minds of elementary school children. A plethora of players have given their time, energy and effort toward reading to children at elementary schools as well as running fitness classes to show the importance of staying in shape. In early December, several players from this year’s team visited underprivileged kids from Mountainview Elementary School and took them on a shopping spree. The experience was a beacon of light for the children during the holiday season, an opportunity for each youngster to find something he or she liked as well as hang out with a Division I baseball player. The Mountaineers also have made several trips to the West Virginia Children’s Hospital, looking to provide some temporary relief to those who are sick. The annual occurrence always gives each Mountaineer a greater perspective on life, and in the process each player does what he can to put a smile on the faces of those who are in need of one. The West Virginia players and coaching staff also partake in seasonal baseball camps to give prospective Mountaineers an early look of what it takes to be a WVU baseball player. The emphasis of each camp is on player development, as coach Van Zant, his assistant coaches and respective players help each attendee hone their skills in an opportunity to someday play Division I baseball. Although the West Virginia baseball team works year-round to build as competitive of a program as possible, it is never a chore for the Mountaineers to give back to the community. Based on the success of their initiatives and the satisfaction that it gives to the players and coaches, WVU baseball will continue to engage in its philanthropy for years to come.
WVU FACILITIES
2010 WEST VIRGINIA BASEBALL
TOP-NOTCH FACILITIES
WVU FACILITIES 10 seasons in the NFL, sponsored the painting of the large “West Virginia” script murals on the interior. Named in honor of former governor Gaston Caperton, the facility gives West Virginia’s student-athletes a safe and secure practice home away from the inclement weather. The Caperton Indoor Practice Facility gives West Virginia University yet another component in one of the finest baseball complexes in the nation. Hawley Field Hawley Field, home of the Mountaineer baseball team since 1971, is evolving into one of the top college baseball facilities in America. Improvements to the facility have become almost an obsession to coach Van Zant, who has invested a great deal of time and effort to the cause. In the spring of 2006, a 100 foot wide by 40 foot high batters eye was constructed behind the centerfield fence. This solid, dark green structure makes it easier for hitters to see the ball out of the pitchers’ hand. Plans are also in the works for new dugouts and a clubhouse behind the first base dugout. Major improvements were made to the playing surface at Hawley Field after the 2005 season making it one of the nicest places to play college baseball. A new state-of-the-art drainage system was installed in the outfield and foul territories. The infield received a completely new playing surface. The ballpark got a new warning track made of crushed red shale bordering the fences. According to Van Zant, these major-league quality improvements now make the playing surface one of the best in Division I. In the last few years, the Mountaineers expanded their outdoor batting cages and put down AstroPlay (a grass-like synthetic surface that is also on Mountaineer Field) to make it one of the finest outdoor cages in the nation. Also, 50 white pine trees were planted behind the outfield fence from the left field foul pole to the right field foul pole to enhance the beauty of the field and give better depth perception to the players. A fivefoot wide Astroturf halo around the home plate area with “Mountaineers” written in gold with navy trim has also been added, signifying the home of West Virginia baseball. It’s fair to say the ballpark that stands there today isn’t the same one cleared off after the construction of the WVU Coliseum in the late 1960s. Many improvements and changes have happened to the ball yard since its first game in 1971, one expenditure being a modern outfield fence with signage that cost more than $60,000. Ten years ago, a state-of-the art lighting system that cost more than $260,000 was constructed with the help of baseball alumni and friends. Those two projects are among a series of improvements made to the field over the last two decades, beginning with an infield drainage system in 1981 and dugouts in 1985. Four years later a 1,500-seat grandstand and press box were constructed. Shortly afterward restrooms and a concession area were added. An Astro-turfed double hitting tunnel was erected down the right field line in 1991. The tunnel is now lighted, enabling Mountaineer hitters to work on their game anytime. It was also around that time that West Virginia installed an eight-foot fence adorned with advertising which has since been replaced with an improved version. Behind the fence is a modern scoreboard and message center constructed in 1998, which was accompanied by a $15,000 state-of-the-art sound system, giving Hawley Field a professional baseball environment. Inside the fence, bullpens were constructed, allowing room down the base lines for additional seating. It is his aim to construct two 500-seat grandstand bleachers down both foul lines to increase the stadium’s capacity to 2,500. The funds for this project will come through the annual baseball marathon game, which raises thousands each year for the program, along with donations from baseball alumni and friends. To all of the former baseball players who return to campus, Hawley Field is barely recognizable. It has also become a source of great pride to all of those who spend their time edging the warning tracks, pulling out dead grass, trimming the infield or giving their hard-earned money to see it grow. Those same people hope to make Hawley Field one of the nation’s finest college baseball parks.

Caperton Indoor Facility Opened in August 1998, the Caperton Indoor Practice Facility is one of the best indoor practice buildings in the country. “The Caperton Indoor Facility is a big plus for all of our athletes at West Virginia,” coach Greg Van Zant says. “It’s versatile in its uses and eases all our minds when it comes to bad weather. “There have been times through the years when we just weren’t able to practice or do the things we needed to do because of bad weather. There were times when we had to come off the field or halt practice for a period of time because of the weather conditions, but that’s not the case now. The IPF takes care of all those worries. The grass is always green in our indoor practice facility.” The project was the first of its kind for a state university to employ the innovative “design-build” concept. Located adjacent to Milan Puskar Stadium at Mountaineer Field, the Caperton Indoor Practice Facility is equipped with a major league playing surface with the total length of the facility from wall to wall of 315 feet and it is 225 feet wide. The Mountaineers’ sparkling indoor facility exceeds 75,000 square feet of practice room and now features a FieldTurf playing surface, which was installed in the winter of 2006. With the artificial surface, the Caperton Indoor Facility is versatile in its uses. It also serves as a practice facility for WVU’s football and men’s and women’s soccer teams. Safety netting surrounding the entire playing field allows coaches the ability to divide the playing surface in half. Four state-of-the-art major league style batting cages drop out of the ceiling with the push of a button. Each batting cage is 70 feet long, 15 feet wide and 35 feet high. The dimensions allow for pitchers to face hitters in live situations. Also, nine indoor pitching mounds are equipped in the facility and two full infields can be set up. Room for outfielders to make game-like throws is also available. In fact, there is enough room for a full round of infield/outfield during practice sessions. Locker rooms for male and female athletes are in the facility along with a fully equipped training room, restrooms, 4,500 square feet of storage and a facilities office. Skylights provide natural lighting in the building and it is equipped with camera platforms for filming. The modern structure features the flying WV logo on its exterior, while former football captain John Thornton, who played
BIG EAST CONFERENCE

THE NATION’S PREMIER CONFERENCE

BIG EAST CONFERENCE
BIG EAST Championships the 2010 BIG EAST Tournament The 2010 BIG EAST Baseball Championship will be held May 26-30, 2010, at Bright House Networks Field - the fourth time for the championship. The stadium is home to the Clearwater Threshers, the Class A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies. The top eight teams, based on regular season finish in the league standings, will qualify for the championship, a double-elimination event. The tournament champion will receive the league’s automatic bid to the 2010 NCAA Division I Baseball Championship. The championship games of the 2010 and 2011 BIG EAST tournaments are scheduled to be televised live on ESPNU. Fans may also visit www. BIGEASTBaseball.com to access the latest information about the championship, including ticket information, tournament brackets and a complete history of the event. Recapping the 2009 BIG EAST Tournament West Virginia entered the 2009 BIG EAST Championship as the league’s No. 3 seed after finishing 17-10 in the conference during the regular season. The Mountaineers finished 1-2 in the postseason tournament, but their lone win came in record-breaking fashion against No. 7 seeded Pitt. West Virginia defeated the Panthers, 20-8, in a seven-inning mercy-rule game that featured the most runs scored by one team in a single game in championship history. In that contest, former Mountaineer centerfielder Austin Markel collected a tournament-record six RBIs, going 4 of 5 with two home runs and two triples. He was named to the BIG EAST All-Tournament Team for the second consecutive season.
With 30 years under its belt, the BIG EAST Conference continues on a path of success in and out of the athletic arena. The goals have always been the same. The league wants and expects to compete at the highest level and does so with integrity and sportsmanship. The commendable performances of the student-athletes at BIG EAST schools are the indicators of the league’s proud tradition of success. The BIG EAST has gone through membership changes since its birth, but the 2009-10 academic year will mark the conference’s fifth straight with the same 16-member group, the nation’s largest Division I-A conference. In 2008-09, BIG EAST student-athletes again succeeded on the national stage. The Connecticut women’s basketball team won its sixth national championship by defeating conference foe Louisville in an all-BIG EAST NCAA title game. The Notre Dame women’s soccer team reached the NCAA championship game and the Syracuse field hockey squad advanced to the NCAA Final Four. Three BIG EAST women’s cross country teams finished in the top 10 at the NCAA Championships. West Virginia was fourth, Villanova sixth and Georgetown finished in ninth.

Individually in women’s sports, Providence’s Dannette Doetzel won the 10,000 meters at the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships. Connecticut’s Maya Moore was the conference’s sixth winner of the Wade Trophy as the top player in women’s basketball. Notre Dame’s Kerri Hanks won the Hermann Trophy, the top award in women’s soccer. On the men’s side, Connecticut and Villanova advanced to the Final Four in basketball. The 2008-09 campaign was arguably the best men’s basketball season in the history of the BIG EAST with the league setting NCAA standards with three No. 1 tournament seeds, four teams in the round of the Elite Eight and five in the Sweet 16. The St. John’s men’s soccer team reached the NCAA College Cup before losing in the national semifinals. BIG EAST football has maintained its high profile and its reputation as a balanced group. Seven of the league’s eight squads were nationally ranked or received votes in the national polls in 2008. Cincinnati was the league champion. The BIG EAST, a charter member of the Bowl Championship Series, has won three of its last four BCS bowl games. West Virginia, Louisville and Connecticut also have won or shared league crowns over the past four seasons. The BIG EAST has continued to produce student-athletes who were at the forefront of athletic and academic achievement. In 2008-09, 19 BIG EAST players were chosen to their respective ESPN The Magazine Academic All-America Teams, including eight first-team selections. Nearly 400 student-athletes have earned academic all-America honors. The BIG EAST became the nation’s largest Division I-A conference in 2005-06 when five new members began competing. The new schools were: University of Cincinnati, DePaul University, University of Louisville, Marquette University and the University of South Florida. Since opening its doors in 1979, the league has won 26 national championships in six different sports and 126 student-athletes have won individual national titles. Proactive movement has been a signature strategy for the conference that was born in 1979. The BIG EAST continually turns challenges into opportunities to become stronger. In 2009-10, the BIG EAST will add men’s lacrosse to its growing list of sports, which will increase its total to 24 sport championships. The first women’s golf championship was held in the spring of 2003. Women’s lacrosse and rowing were added in 2001. The BIG EAST became a reality on May 31, 1979, following a meeting of athletic directors from Providence College, St. John’s, Georgetown and Syracuse universities. Seton Hall, Connecticut and Boston College completed the original seven school alliance. While the membership has both increased and changed, the focus of the BIG EAST has not wavered. The conference reflects a tradition of broad based programs, led by administrators and coaches who place a constant emphasis on academic integrity. Its student athletes own significantly high graduation rates and their record of scholastic achievement notably show a balance between intercollegiate athletics and academics. Any successful organization has been fortunate to have outstanding leadership. Michael Tranghese, the league’s first full-time employee, and for 11 years the associate to Dave Gavitt, became Commissioner in 1990. In his first year, he administered the formation of The BIG EAST Football Conference. For 2009-10, the BIG EAST will undergo one significant change. Tranghese stepped down from his position on June 30, 2009. John Marinatto, who has served as senior associate commissioner, has moved into the Commissioner’s chair. The league has long been considered a leader in innovative concepts in promotion and publicity, particularly regarding television. Those efforts have resulted in unparalleled visibility for BIG EAST student athletes. The conference has enjoyed long-standing relationships with CBS, ESPN, Inc. and ABC. BIG EAST men’s basketball games are regular sellouts at campus and major public arenas, including the annual men’s BIG EAST Championship in Madison Square Garden. The women’s basketball championship has led all conferences in attendance for the past six years. Attendance figures also are significant in soccer and baseball. More than 550 BIG EAST student-athletes have earned all America recognition and dozens have won individual NCAA national championships. The BIG EAST has been well represented in U.S. or foreign national and Olympic teams. Several athletes earned gold medals in each of the last six summer Olympiads. The BIG EAST has its headquarters in Providence where the conference administers to more than 5,500 athletes.

The WVU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics is committed to the promotion of the academic achievement of student-athletes as well as their athletic accomplishment and their personal and career development. In support of this position, West Virginia University offers a variety of services and programs to help student-athletes maximize their academic potential. Department staff members work with coaches, on campus student service providers and faculty to help student-athletes meet the unique demands of the classroom, the sporting arena and the personal-social challenges they face as developing adults. While many of the headlines center on the Mountaineers’ accomplishments on the playing field, West Virginia athletes have also made some noteworthy strides in the classroom. One person who is quick to point that out is Director of Athletics Ed Pastilong, who, along with coach Greg Van Zant, has made academics a priority. Opened in 2008 was the brand new $1.3 million Athletic Academic Performance Center in the WVU Coliseum. The leadership gift for the facility was provided by former Mountaineer great Jerry West and his wife Karen. The West’s gift to the Athletic Academic Performance Center is in memory of Jerry’s brother, David, who was killed during the Korean Conflict, and in honor of his long-time friend and WVU teammate Willie Akers and wife, Linda. The 8,000-square-foot academic center is six-times larger than existing space. It provides individual and group study areas as well as a state-of-the art computer lab and is utilized by more than 500 male and female student-athletes. “The Athletic Academic Performance Center is a significant development for an academically oriented institution such as West Virginia to recognize the special needs required for a modern student-athlete’s success both as an athletic competitor on the field of play and in the classroom,” said Garrett Ford, Associate Athletic Director for Student Services. The study center provides a quiet atmosphere and will be open seven days a week and all student-athletes are encouraged to use it. Athletes can use the center between classes or after practice in the evenings, with flexible hours tailored to make the most of a student-athlete’s limited time. Athletes may come and go as they please, but make no mistake, they must make the grade. To help them do that, the WVU student services staff, headed by Ford and his assistants Sandy Cole-DeMent, Erica Wycherley, Paul Downey and Ehren Green, makes sure that every student-athlete has the best possible opportunity to obtain a college degree. This process begins as soon as a recruit signs a letter-of-intent to play for the Mountaineers. “We know everything about incoming freshmen academically before they arrive in the fall,” said Ford. “We know which students are ahead of others and which will require more assistance.” Besides keeping in touch with freshmen, incoming student-athletes are encouraged to attend freshman orientation sessions offered for all West Virginia University students during the summer prior to their arrival on campus. This is where new students can learn more about the Morgantown campus and, most important, register for classes. During pre-registration, all student-athletes, from incoming freshmen to graduating seniors, get advice in scheduling the courses to keep them on track in their degree programs. During the second week of classes, freshmen are enrolled in mandatory study halls, monitored by Ford and his staff. Those who do well during the first semester are given the option of attending study hall, but if their GPA drops below a certain mark, they must return to the mandatory sessions.

During the semester, department officials keep a careful record of each athlete’s academic progress. Class and study hall attendance are checked regularly, periodic grade reports are obtained from instructors, and parents, coaches and players are kept up-to-date on their academic progress. These measures are succeeding in a noticeable way. Last semester, 445 student-athletes earned a place on the Athletic Director’s Academic Honor Roll with at least a 3.0 grade-point average. In another program, former Mountaineer athletes are returning to school to complete work on their degrees, some after as many as 10 years away from Morgantown. “At West Virginia University, we do everything in our power to assist our student-athletes as they work toward graduation,” said Pastilong. “We only have one rule -- they must do the best they can possibly do. We can assure every student-athlete that the University and the athletic department will do our best. We expect our students to do their best for us. “Together, we cannot help but succeed. Our success is measured by how much personal growth we see in our young people, and I am proud of every one of our student-athletes in this regard.”

At West Virginia University “Once a student, always a student” When a member of the Mountaineer coaching staff preaches the virtues of receiving a good education, they’re not just blowing smoke. WVU Director of Athletics Ed Pastilong has made student academic achievement his primary focus since his appointment as athletic director in 1989. Under Pastilong’s direction, West Virginia has made it a priority to graduate its student-athletes. And it’s happening.
But for those who don’t graduate with their class, there’s still hope. A post-eligibility program was created at the beginning of Pastilong’s administration to give those student-athletes who are close to graduating an opportunity to come back to school to complete their degrees. Since its creation, dozens of students have participated, with a success rate of better than 80 percent. More than 25 student-athletes from all sports participated in the post-eligibility program last year. In 1992, under the direction of associate athletic director Garrett Ford, WVU joined the growing list of schools that are a part of an NCAA-sponsored consortium. Similar to the post-eligibility program in providing former student-athletes a chance to continue work toward their degrees, the closely screened consortium requires participants to be more involved in community-related activities. The consortium students are often much older athletes, who left the University to pursue professional sports or business careers, but now wish to return to complete their degrees. NCAA Certification West Virginia recently went through its third cycle of the NCAA Division I athletics certification program in 2008-09. A self-study was conducted in these principle areas: governance and commitment to rules compliance, academic integrity, as well as gender and diversity and student-athlete well-being. While academic accreditation is common in colleges and universities, this program focuses solely on certification of athletics programs. WVU was one of the first schools nationally to volunteer for the NCAA’s pilot certification program in 1991, and was one of five schools originally certified at that time. The WVU athletics program was recertified by the NCAA in 1996 and then again in 2001. At the 1997 NCAA Convention, the NCAA Division I membership voted to change the frequency of athletics certification from once every five years to once every 10 years.
STUDENT-ATHLETE SERVICES “West Virginia was one of the first two schools to participate in the initial NCAA Certification in 1991,” Director of Athletics Ed Pastilong said. “This enables our University to confirm its commitment to the key values of intercollegiate athletics.” The study process involved members of the institution’s faculty and staff, as well as athletics department personnel and student-athletes. When the study concluded, an external team of reviewers conducted an evaluation visit on campus. Those reviewers were peers from other colleges, universities or conference offices. The peer-review team will report to the NCAA Division I Committee on Athletics Certification. The Committee on Athletics Certification will then determine the institution’s certification status and announce the decision publicly.
CHAMPS Life Skills The numerous challenges that today’s college student-athletes face, both on and off the playing field, are unparalleled in the history of higher education. Unfortunately, many students are not well prepared to face these challenges. To prepare student-athletes for the demands of college life and beyond, the NCAA has developed the CHAMPS (Challenging Athletes Minds for Personal Success)/Life Skills program. In the spring of 1995, West Virginia University initiated its own CHAMPS/Life Skills program. WVU was one of 170 schools selected by the NCAA to participate in their national pilot program. Five programming “commitment” areas viewed as critical to personal growth are part of WVU’s model. They are: 1) academic excellence, 2) personal development, 3) career development, 4) athletic excellence, and 5) community service.
2010 WEST VIRGINIA BASEBALL
Graduation Rates West Virginia University’s graduation rate for student-athletes has been impressive, to say the least, over the past seven years. The ratio of student-athletes graduating to the general student body has increased almost every year. “I’m quite pleased to see that our graduation rates are maintaining a more than respectable level,” said WVU Director of Athletics Ed Pastilong. “I want to compliment our student-athletes for their attention to academics, I want to compliment assistant athletic director Garrett Ford and his excellent staff in student services for their efforts in assisting our students, and I want to compliment our coaches for being so conscientious toward our students’ needs.” The graduation rate for student-athletes is based upon the number of students who entered the University receiving athletic scholarship aid in a given academic year, and their progress over six years. The most recent figures are based upon the progress of student-athletes who entered WVU during 1993-94.

HEAD COACH · 16th SEASON WEST VIRGINIA (1984)
18
Now in his 16th season as head coach at West Virginia University, state native Greg Van Zant has elevated the Mountaineer baseball program into the national spotlight. The former player from Williamson, W.Va., now ranks second in WVU baseball history with 450 wins. In his time as head coach, Van Zant has accomplished plenty at West Virginia by winning BIG EAST championships (regular season and tournament), earning an NCAA Tournament appearance and churning out 46 players who have been drafted or signed contracts with Major League Baseball organizations, including 24 pitchers. Van Zant has produced six All-Americans, the BIG EAST Pitcher of the Year, the BIG EAST Player of the Year, two BIG EAST Rookies of the Year, 52 all-conference players, a first-round draft pick, two major league players and most recently, an Olympian. Van Zant has also been named BIG EAST Coach of the Year twice as well as the American Baseball Coaches Association East Region Coach of the Year. During his first 15 seasons, Van Zant has averaged 30 wins per year. In 2009, Van Zant’s Mountaineers amassed 37 wins, tying the 1998 team for the most victories since joining the BIG EAST. Picked to finish seventh in the BIG EAST preseason coaches’ poll, Van Zant led one of country’s best offensive clubs to a third-place finish in the regular season, helping a schoolrecord nine players earn all-BIG EAST accolades. The veteran coach propelled his group to 17 conference wins, WVU’s most since 2003, while directing the Mountaineers to a No. 26 ranking in the Collegiate Baseball poll and a No. 36 spot in the ESPN/USA Today Top 25 Coaches’ Poll during the week of April 13, 2009. Behind three .400-plus hitters in Dan DiBartolomeo, Jedd Gyorko and Vince Belnome, the Mountaineers set single-season school records for team batting average (.360), RBIs (491), doubles (161), extra base hits (242) and runs scored (525). Under the tutelage of Van Zant, pitchers Jarryd Summers and Billy Gross formed one of the best 1-2 starting combinations in the BIG EAST in 2009, combining for a 16-7 record with a 3.63 ERA and 157 strikeouts. Van Zant also witnessed the progression of catcher Tobias Streich, who became WVU’s highest draft pick in 12 seasons after being selected by the Minnesota Twins in the fifth round of the Major League Baseball first-year player draft. Belnome also landed a spot with the San Diego Padres in the 28th round, while Gross (Baltimore Orioles), Austin Markel (Florida Marlins) and Joe Agreste (San Diego Padres) all signed free-agent deals. In 2008, Van Zant guided one of nation’s most prolific offenses to a 35-21 mark, making WVU one of the select few Division I programs to post 100 wins in a three-year span (2006-08). Led by All-Americans Tyler Kuhn and Gyorko, the Mountaineers finished fifth in the country with a .341 batting average, 13th in slugging percentage (.523) and 15th in total runs (477). WVU also had three other all-BIG EAST players in Agreste, Belnome and Justin Parks who added to the high-powered WVU offense, as well as BIG EAST all-Tournament Team member Markel. Adding to Van Zant’s résumé was the selection of former WVU pitcher Jeremy Cummings to the United States Olympic Baseball team in the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing, China. Van Zant oversaw the four-year progression of Cummings from 1996-99, as the Mountaineer pitching alum helped the United States earn a bronze medal. In 2007, Van Zant led WVU to a 29-22 record. Senior left fielder Justin Jenkins earned third team All-America honors, while producing a 38-game hitting streak, tied for the 10th longest in the history of college baseball. Jenkins later signed as a pre-draft free agent with the Cleveland Indians. Four other

Mountaineers were selected in the pro draft in 2007. Van Zant guided the Mountaineers to a 36-22 record in 2006 and the program’s sixth BIG EAST Tournament appearance. WVU won its first 17 home games and owned the nation’s longest winning streak at the time. With the final three home wins at the end of the 2005 season, the 20-game home winning streak set a school record. The 25-4 mark opening the season was the best start to a campaign in 40 years, garnering the school’s first national ranking since 1982. The 2006 squad put a strong offense on display, as it finished the season with a .339 batting average, good enough for second in all of Division I. The 2005 season was a special year for the skipper as he grabbed win No. 300 in a 15-1 victory over Savannah State on April 6. The year also marked the first time in school history that three former Mountaineers were playing Major League Baseball at the same time. Steve Kline, Scott Seabol, and current Major

West Virginia was one of just three schools from the nation’s 10 major baseball conferences to win the regular and postseason titles that season, and its 2-0 start in the NCAA Tournament was the best in school history. By virtue of his club’s 1996 BIG EAST Tournament championship, the coach has now participated in the NCAA Tournament as a player (1982), an assistant (1990 and 1994) and a head coach. The Mountaineers finished the 1996 campaign ranked No. 36 by USA Today/Baseball Weekly, the highest West Virginia has ever finished in that poll. He was named the ABCA/East Region Coach of the Year, one of eight regional coaches honored nationwide. He took over the Mountaineer program in December of 1994, a month after the death of longtime mentor Dale Ramsburg. Like Ramsburg, Van Zant has been active among the coaching fraternity. The hard-working coach is a 26-year member of the American Baseball Coaches Association, and has served two terms as president of the BIG EAST Baseball Coaches Association. In 2005, Van Zant was chosen as a member of the NCAA Division I Baseball East Region Advisory Committee and served in that capacity through the 2007 season. Van Zant began his association with college baseball as a four-year starting third baseman at WVU from 1980-83, helping the Mountaineers to the NCAA regional playoffs in 1982. He is probably best remembered for a double play that he started in the ninth inning to give WVU a 7-5 victory over Rutgers in the Eastern Eight Championship game. That team finished No. 16 in the nation by Collegiate Baseball and came within two games of advancing to the College World Series. After graduation, he worked for Ford Motor Company from 198587 before accepting a coaching position at Georgia Southern under legendary coach Jack Stallings. During his three years at Georgia Southern, he was responsible for working with the infielders as well as marketing and promoting the baseball program. In his final season at Georgia Southern in 1990, Van Zant was part of an Eagle team that won 50 games and advanced to the College World Series. Among the prominent players at Georgia Southern during Van Zant’s stay were future Major League players like pitcher Joey Hamilton, catcher Todd Greene and shortstop Chris Petersen. Van Zant spent the summer of 1990 coaching in the Cape Cod League with the Falmouth Commodores, where he helped instruct St. Louis Cardinals first-round pick Alan Watson. Later that summer, Van Zant returned to his alma mater as an assistant coach.

Leaguer Dustin Nippert of the Texas Rangers were all coached by Van Zant. Van Zant has been chosen four times to participate as a clinician at the YES (Youth Education through Sports) Clinic in Omaha, Neb., at the College World Series. He has worked at the Omaha Clinic in 1999, 2004, 2005 and 2007, and has spoken at numerous baseball coaching clinics and camps nationwide. In 2003, Van Zant orchestrated one of the most exciting seasons in team history, as a Mountaineer team slated to finish near the bottom of the conference battled its way to a 36-19 overall record and an 186 conference mark. For his efforts, Van Zant was named BIG EAST Coach of the Year for the second time in his career. WVU produced a school-record six draft picks in the 2001 season, as Van Zant reached 200 wins faster than any other coach in school history. In 1998, Van Zant’s talented squad produced a 37-17-1 record and advanced to the final four of the BIG EAST Tournament. Four players were drafted from that team, including 19th-round pick Brad Elwood. His Mountaineers ranked among the NCAA’s best in hitting (second) with a .358 team batting mark, pitching (22nd) with a 4.49 ERA and scoring (28th) at 9.02 runs per game. Outfielder and former WVU assistant coach Joe McNamee became the coach’s second AllAmerica player in two seasons. A year earlier in 1997, Van Zant led West Virginia to its second BIG EAST American Division title in as many years. Owning a 3619 overall mark, West Virginia registered the third-most wins in school history at the time. His top pitcher, Chris Enochs, became the school’s first All-America selection since 1964 and was selected in the first round (11th overall selection) of the Major League Draft by the Oakland Athletics. For Van Zant’s efforts, he was honored as the 1997 BIG EAST Coach of the Year. West Virginia’s 1996 squad posted a 33-25 record, won the BIG EAST regular and postseason championships, and earned a thirdplace finish at the 1996 Atlantic Regional at Clemson, S.C. His club defeated nationally-ranked Tennessee and Georgia Southern in the NCAA Tournament, securing the school’s first wins against nationallyranked teams since 1982.

Serving as Ramsburg’s top assistant and recruiting coordinator, Van Zant helped recruit WVU players that produced an NCAA regional berth in 1994. He was also a part of several improvements to the Mountaineer baseball program, including re-establishing the alumni game played every fall since 1991 and the construction of an eight-foot outfield fence with advertising and 30-foot foul poles. As head coach, the improvements have continued. The most notable are the constant upgrades to Hawley Field, including the installation of lights and initiating the Mountaineer Baseball Marathon Game, which has raised thousands of dollars toward improving the baseball program. Recently, Van Zant helped raise funds for a new outfield drainage system, a state-of-the-art infield, a new warning track and a major league style batter’s eye just beyond the center field wall. Van Zant has also maintained the respectable rapport with professional scouts established under Ramsburg; West Virginia has had 69 players selected in the Major League draft since it was first initiated in 1965 (in just 15 seasons, Van Zant has coached over half of those drafted at West Virginia). Four of those players have gone on to play in the big leagues. Holding multiple degrees stemming from his time as a graduate and undergraduate student, Van Zant has not disappointed in stressing the significance of the ever-important realm of academics. He was instrumental in guiding former players Josh Williamson (1997) and Lee Fritz (2005) toward CoSIDA Academic All-America honors, and has also coached three academic all-district performers during his reign in Morgantown. A 1984 WVU graduate in industrial engineering, Van Zant earned master’s degrees in sport management in 1988 and business administration in 1989 from Georgia Southern. The southern West Virginia native received the Rawlings Baseball post-graduate scholarship in 1991 and 1992. Eight years ago, Van Zant was widely recognized by his hometown when he was inducted into the Williamson High School Hall of Fame. Van Zant resides in Morgantown with his wife, the former Leslie Jones of Farmington, W.Va.

coach van zant Q&A Coming off a banner year in 2009, what must this season’s team do to ride that momentum and attain higher marks in 2010?
What is your main philosophy with this year’s group of pitchers?
I don’t think 2009 has any bearing on 2010. For the returning players, they will have the experience from last year and should have learned from last year. For the new players, last year doesn’t help them at all. Each season is separate and we have to prepare and play each game one at a time.
There are a lot of pieces to the pitching staff. What we have to do is every inning we play this spring, we must have a quality pitched inning. We have a lot of players capable of doing that, and on paper if you have good pitching depth then you’ll have a quality pitching staff. We hope to have a situation where we can put three pretty good pitchers on the mound during the weekend series and still have some good pitchers left for the mid-week games. Our pitching staff has a chance to be better than last year.
Although you’ve lost a handful of solid hitters, you still retain two of the better players West Virginia has produced in Jedd Gyorko and Dan DiBartolomeo. What does it mean to have those two players in the everyday lineup? It’s great to be able to write their names in the lineup. Those two guys are very good players and we’re fortunate to have them in our program. They’re fun to coach, they’re talented and they’re good guys who work hard. Those two players make us a better team. You couldn’t have a better shortstop and third baseman returning, and those are two positions that are sometimes hard to fill because of the arm strength you need on the left side of the infield. Over the last five seasons, West Virginia has gained recognition for its offensive production. How have these players developed so rapidly and become such good Division I hitters since arriving in Morgantown?
This season you plan to have more depth in your pitching staff compared to last year. Who are some under-the-radar throwers that can break through in 2010? We had seven pitchers that threw really well this fall, but the two left-handers that can make a difference in our pitching staff are sophomore Chase Pickering and freshman Marshall Thompson. Chase has all the ability in the world and if he throws the ball in the strike zone, he could be our best pitcher. He’s in the mix as a potential left-handed starter. Marshall missed the fall because of surgery on his shoulder, but if he comes around in the spring, he can really help us. Another guy that pitched really well this fall was Jared Hill. He could easily end up being our third starter or start Tuesday in the mid-week. He threw very well this fall and is a pretty polished pitcher for a freshman. Matt Morrone also really threw the ball well this fall. Last fall, he was throwing his fastball 81-83, this fall he is throwing it 85-87, sometimes touching 88.
Maximum preparation and maximum effort – those are our goals. If you do those things, the numerical goals will take care of themselves. Every team in Division I would like to be national champions, so you don’t want to set your goals too low and look to be just conference champions. What we focus on is maximum preparation and effort on a daily basis and winning one game at a time. Once we win one game, we’ll work to win the second game, and it builds from there. Each player and coach must focus on his preparation and effort. You’ve put together one of the most competitive schedules in the school’s 115-year history. What was your mindset behind scheduling some of this year’s opponents, which includes five NCAA participants from 2009? We always try to schedule as tough as we can, and a lot of times your schedule is out of your hands. We were fortunate to get invited to the Keith LeClair Classic in East Carolina, the Big Ten/BIG EAST Challenge and the Caravelle Resort Tournament at Coastal Carolina. Those are good tournaments to play in. Our conference schedule every year is a big challenge, and in our non-conference schedule, we play who we can play. We try to schedule non-conference games against good schools and good coaches. Overall, what kind of player and person is an institution like West Virginia University looking for in its baseball program? There are two things we as a baseball program look for -- we’re looking for professional baseball players that want to go to college first. We want players that have the ability to play professional baseball right now, or have the ability with hard work and getting in the weight room to have a future in professional baseball. It takes a group of professional players ability-wise to win our league. We’re also looking for good people. If you’re a great player but not a great teammate, that’s not going to help us. We’re looking for guys that are going to represent this state, the university, themselves and their families in the best possible manner. We’re looking for a well-rounded player who is not only an excellent athlete but an excellent person who is committed to his academics as well. We want someone who our alumni and fans can be proud to have on the West Virginia baseball team.
2010 WEST VIRGINIA BASEBALL
First of all, we’ve been fortunate to recruit good hitters. When they come here, we have an overall hitting philosophy that they combine with hard work. Coach Pat Sherald and our assistant coaches have spent a tremendous amount of time working with these hitters, and they have a chance to be successful. We’ve had a good amount of hitters on our team, so there is competition for playing time amongst them. There’s a sense of urgency to have good at-bats. It’s a combination of recruiting good hitters, our hitting philosophy, the hitters themselves getting better and our excellent coaching, specifically Pat Sherald, our hitting coach.
What is the overall goal of this year’s group? How realistic can those goals become?

2010 WEST VIRGINIA BASEBALL
Pat Sherald enters his sixth season with the Mountaineer baseball program and serves as the hitting coach, while also working with the catchers and assisting with recruiting for WVU. Sherald also serves as the bench coach on game days. Sherald has had great success at West Virginia, where his hitters have dominated BIG EAST statistics and have been among the best in Division I. Over the last four seasons, the Mountaineer offense has gained national recognition for finishing among the country’s best in team batting average. WVU finished with a .339 mark in 2006, good enough for second place. In 2007, the Mountaineers continued their offensive prowess with a .317 average and finished the 2008 season with the nation’s fifth-best mark of .341. The 2009 squad was arguably the greatest offensive unit in school history, compiling a school-record .360 average to finish third nationally. Sherald and his knowledgeable hitting tactics left an indelible mark on the 2009 team. Since the inception of Mountaineer baseball 115 years ago, never have three hitters garnered a .400 batting average (minimum of 100 at-bats) or better in the same season. Under the guidance of Sherald, WVU shattered several lofty offensive records while gaining notoriety as not just the best hitting team in the BIG EAST, but one of the most powerful units across the country. WVU’s .564 team slugging percentage ranked eighth in the nation last season, indicative of the team’s ability to hit for both average and power under the sixth-year assistant. Sherald was also largely responsible for the development of former catcher Tobias Streich, who became WVU’s highest draft pick in 12 seasons when he was selected in the fifth round of the 2009 Major League Baseball first-year player draft by the Minnesota Twins. In 2008, Sherald helped pave the way for WVU to become one of the top offenses in the country. With six hitters batting .300 or above, Sherald guided the Mountaineers to one of its best offensive seasons ever. The 2008 season saw two players bat over .400, as Tyler Kuhn (.424) and Jedd Gyorko (.409) powered their way to nationally acclaimed seasons while leading one of the greatest batting lineups in school history. The Mountaineers were 24th nationally in hitting during their 2007 campaign. WVU finished with a 29-22 mark while Sherald played a key role in paving the way for power-hitter Justin Jenkins to become a Collegiate Baseball third team All-American as well as an all-BIG EAST second team performer. Sherald worked with former volunteer assistant Casey Bowling in 2006, as he became the seventh WVU hitter since 1990 to finish a season batting over .400 and oversaw Jenkins, who had a then-school record for single-season hits with 94. He also worked daily with catcher David Carpenter, who was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 12th round following the 2006 season. Sherald came from Lamar University, where he served as an assistant coach for three seasons. At Lamar, Sherald worked primarily with the catchers and pitchers. He guided the Lamar pitching staff to three consecutive Top 25 rankings in ERA, including sixth-best in the nation in 2004. He also coordinated the in-season and off-season strength and conditioning programs for Lamar baseball. The Cardinals made three consecutive trips to the NCAA Regionals under Sherald’s watch. During that time, 14 Cardinals signed professional baseball contracts, 18 players earned all-conference recognition, and Sherald coached one major leaguer. During his three-year tenure, Lamar won two Southland Conference championships and two tournament titles. The Cardinals posted 36, 40 and 41 win seasons while being nationally ranked in each of Sherald’s three seasons. The 2003 Lamar team finished the season ranked No. 22 in the nation. Sherald began his playing career at Frederick Community College (Md.), where

2010 SEASON PREVIEW
2010 WEST VIRGINIA BASEBALL
2010 OUTLOOK
28
Over the past five seasons, the West Virginia University baseball program has set unprecedented offensive marks that only a handful of schools can rival. The Mountain State’s flagship university has simply been known as a place where hitters develop, as shown by the program’s influx of All-Americans, all-conference performers and professional players. While the Mountaineers return an array of talented hitters, the key to their success will rest on a pitching staff that is as deep as any in coach Greg Van Zant’s tenure at West Virginia. Nine pitchers return from last season’s team that finished 37-18 overall, with each thrower making strides during the offseason. In baseball, the old adage says that good pitching always beats good hitting. Van Zant and the Mountaineers are prepared to have both of those assets on this year’s squad, a team that has limitless potential in addition to several proven players who will fill the leader-
ship role and attempt to bring West Virginia its second BIG EAST championship. PITCHING For a team that has waged several offensive duels in recent years, Van Zant expects this year’s crop of pitchers to show its potential and put less pressure on the offense. West Virginia is 16 pitchers deep for the 2010 season, with plenty of mid-week and weekend options in the starting rotation and the bullpen. “Our pitching depth is as good as we’ve ever had,” Van Zant says. “We’ve got some guys who are established and can pitch at this level successfully. Our pitching staff, on paper, looks like we can hold teams down better than in the past.” Leading WVU’s hurlers is junior starter Jarryd Summers and senior closer Chris Enourato. Statistically, Summers was arguably the top pitcher
2010 SEASON PREVIEW
CATCHING The 2010 West Virginia baseball team has a catcher-by-committee approach, with five potent backstoppers in freshmen Matt Malloy and Humberto Melendez, , juniors Kevin Griffin and Justin McDavid and senior Michael Knight. “Catching for us might be a situation where early in the season we use a bunch of different catchers until someone gets the job. The starting position is still up in the air,” Van Zant says. Malloy has a heralded background from Cincinnati, Ohio, being named an Under Armour All-American and a top prospect by Perfect Game as a high school standout. He hopes to fill the shoes of former Mountaineer Tobias Streich, possessing a quick and precise arm that could make life difficult for base runners. Griffin, a Martinsburg, W.Va., native, had excellent power numbers at Potomac State and looks to expand on his defensive skills in order to become the everyday starter. Knight is the only returning catcher from 2009, playing in five games last year and getting a start in WVU’s home finale against Youngstown State. McDavid comes in with plenty of experience, having played at New Mexico State, Central Arizona Community College and Chandler-Gilbert Community College. Melendez will also get an opportunity to earn significant time behind the plate this season. Chris Enourato
2010 WEST VIRGINIA BASEBALL
in the BIG EAST last season, leading the conference with a 3.06 ERA and finishing in the top five in opposing batting average (.239), strikeouts (99), wins (7), games started (14), runs allowed (41) and innings pitched (94). Enourato, West Virginia’s all-time leading closer, posted six saves in 2009 and struck out 58 batters in just 46.2 innings pitched. The all-BIG EAST third team member looks to emerge as one of the top closers in the country this season. “We have a first-team all-conference pitcher returning. We have a solid closer, and not many teams have a legitimate No. 1 starter and a closer coming back. Having Summers and Enourato is a pretty good place to start when you’re trying to put together a pitching staff,” Van Zant adds. Sophomore left-hander Jonathan Jones finished 6-2 last season, earning the team’s freshman MVP award. He gained valuable experience as the team’s Saturday starter while beginning the year in the mid-week rotation, and is slated to fill that same role in 2010. A candidate to fill the No. 3 spot behind Summers and Jones is junior lefthander Eric Hinkle, a transfer from Potomac State. The Ocean Township, N.J., native had a superb fall season and has a tremendous opportunity to be a major asset to this year’s pitching crop. “Jonathan Jones pitched well last year as a freshman and will have an opportunity to pitch our Saturday games,” Van Zant says. “We like to go from a right-hander to a left-hander if we can, and Eric Hinkle also showed that he can be a starter for us. We’ve got some other pitchers who are capable of getting in that starting rotation, but it will depend on how Summers, Jones and Hinkle perform.” The most versatile pitcher on this year’s team is senior Andy Altemus, a righthander who can be used as a starter or provide middle-to-long relief. The Morgantown resident went 1-1 with a 4.28 ERA and totaled four saves in 2009, and has improved tremendously during the offseason to give the Mountaineers a formidable thrower in the bullpen. “Andy Altemus is a real big weapon for us because we can bring him right in the opening game of a series, and he will be the first guy out of the bullpen coming in for middle relief or long relief,” Van Zant mentions. Also returning is sophomore southpaw Chase Pickering, redshirt junior Marcus Broadwater, senior Stephen Morrison, redshirt junior lefty Matt Morrone and sophomore right-hander Andy Podolinski. Each has a chance to make a large impact on this year’s club. Freshman right-hander Jared Hill of Harrisburg, Ohio, impressed in the fall, and could find himself in the starting rotation to begin the season. Junior righthanders Andy Berry and Jonathan Hash and freshmen Zach Bargeron, Marshall Thompson and Michael Twigg add quality depth to this year’s group.

2010 SEASON PREVIEW
2010 WEST VIRGINIA BASEBALL
INFIELD Arguably the strongest asset to this year’s team, West Virginia has its share of notable infielders. The combination of third baseman Dan DiBartolomeo and shortstop Jedd Gyorko make up one of the best left sides in the country. DiBartolomeo, a junior, set the school single-season record last year with a .439 batting average. Gyorko, who earned numerous AllAmerica honors last season and was a Brooks Wallace Award finalist, batted .421 with a school-record 28 doubles in 2009. Also returning is second baseman Colin Durborow, a blooming player who is excellent defensively and polished at the plate. “From a position player standpoint, our infield is probably our strength because we return Dan DiBartolomeo at third base, Jedd Gyorko at shortstop and Colin Durborow at second base. Those three positions remain intact,” Van Zant adds. Speedy freshman utility player Brady Wilson is a capable backup to Durborow. Wilson, a standout track athlete at Frederick High in Maryland, is versatile enough to play the infield or outfield. “Brady Wilson gives us an extra infielder who can play second base. Durborow can play second, shortstop or third, so we have some flexibility there,” Van Zant says. At first base, there are three interchangeable players in redshirt sophomore Justin Ellis, freshman Matt Frazer and T.J. Kuban. All three are sound hitters who will need to provide some defensive stability. “I’m confident that between Kuban, Ellis and Frazer, somebody will do a great job at first base,” Van Zant says.
30
OUTFIELD This season’s group of outfielders carry plenty of speed with good hitting power. Headlining the group is redshirt junior Grant Buckner, a right fielder with a cannon-like arm. Buckner broke through last season by posting a .325 average with five home runs and 45 RBIs. Redshirt junior Mark Dvoroznak could get the first crack at centerfield duties, but may also see some time in left field. The Westlake, Ohio, native batted .324 in 32 games played last season, including 12 games started as a designated hitter or centerfielder. Brady Wilson could also see time in center and left field because of his speed, making both players interchangeable. “Grant Buckner has proven that you can play excellent defense and produce offensively,” Van Zant says. “Centerfield and left field will be whoever wins those jobs. Mark Dvoroznak is fast, athletic and is going to get the first shot at one of the outfield positions. We might play Brady Wilson in the other spot. Wherever we play them, we’re going to have two very fast outfielders in left and center.” Rounding out the group are Dom Hayes, Jeremy Gum and redshirt freshman Clark Sambuco, with each player adding great depth to the outfield group. “We’ve got left-handed bats in Jeremy Gum and Dom Hayes who can both play left field,” Van Zant adds. “Clark Sambuco gives us a legitimate defensive replacement and pinch runner in the outfield. He might be our best defensive outfielder and is usable in that respect.” SCHEDULE West Virginia faces arguably its most daunting schedule since joining the BIG EAST. Its opponents include five NCAA Tournament participants from a season ago, including Super Regional qualifiers East Carolina and Louisville. The other three postseason qualifiers include Coastal Carolina, reigning Big Ten champion Indiana and Bethune-Cookman. WVU begins its season with a challenging 10-game non-conference slate. It starts with Coastal Carolina’s Caravelle Resort Tournament against the Chanticleers, Kentucky and Virginia Tech, followed by the second annual Big Ten/BIG EAST Challenge in Clearwater, Fla.
Dan DiBartolomeo
The Mountaineers then go to ECU’s Keith LeClair Classic to face the Pirates, Western Carolina and Illinois. “The schedule is probably the most challenging since I’ve been here as a player, assistant coach or head coach,” Van Zant mentions. “The first 10 games are away from home at three different tournaments against teams in the Top 25 or in BCS conferences. We’re looking forward to going to Coastal Carolina, going back for the second year to Clearwater and to East Carolina.” An improved March schedule features a 12-game home stretch that includes Manhattan and Eastern Michigan, followed by a neutral-site game against Bowling Green in Chillicothe, Ohio. WVU begins its conference schedule at Seton Hall, and will face St. John’s, Cincinnati and Georgetown on the road. The Mountaineers have five home series against Louisville, Notre Dame, Connecticut, Pitt and Villanova. WVU also has non-conference matchups at Maryland and against Eastern Kentucky at the Mountaineer Diamond Classic at Appalachian Power Park in Charleston, W.Va. WVU faces Towson in a home-and-away series, and has a challenging opponent on May 11-12 in Bethune-Cookman. “We’re definitely looking forward to our two neutral site games against Bowling Green and Eastern Kentucky,” Van Zant says. “Our conference schedule will be difficult. We’ve got some really good series in April and May with Louisville, our school rival Pitt and the final conference series against Villanova will be huge. We’re looking forward to playing Towson, keeping our series going with Maryland and facing Bethune-Cookman. It’s a real challenging schedule and we’re going to work hard and attack it one game at a time.”
preseason notebook Armed and Ready Coach Greg Van Zant believes this year’s group of pitchers is as deep as any he has coached at West Virginia. The Mountaineers return nine hurlers from last season, including eight letterwinners. However, West Virginia will be just as reliant on its seven newcomers on the mound, which include the following: Right-handers: Juniors Andy Berry and Jonathan Hash and freshman Jared Hill. Left-handers: Freshman Zach Bargeron, junior Eric Hinkle, freshman Marshall Thompson and freshman Michael Twigg.
Gyorko Earns National Recognition A player that West Virginians can call their very own, Morgantown native Jedd Gyorko has earned his fair share of preseason publicity. After ending his sophomore season with a .421 average and finishing second in the NCAA with 28 doubles, Gyorko has been named a National Collegiate Baseball Writer’s Association Pro-Line Athletic preseason second-team All-American. Gyorko also was named a Louisville Slugger preseason second-team All-American, honored by Ping!Baseball as a first-team preseason All-American and was named a Baseball America third-team All-American.
West Virginia Tabbed Sixth in the BIG EAST In the annual BIG EAST Preseason Coaches’ Poll, released on Dec. 30, 2009, West Virginia was predicted to finish sixth in the BIG EAST regular season. In last year’s poll, the conference coaches forecasted WVU to finish seventh. The Mountaineers, however, finished third in the BIG EAST regular season and garnered a 37-18 overall record, including a 17-10 mark in the conference.
Heavy Competition West Virginia’s 2010 schedule is loaded with talented opponents, making it arguably the most difficult schedule since the Mountaineers joined the BIG EAST. According to Collegiate Baseball Newspaper’s preseason poll, West Virginia faces four clubs ranked in the Top 40, including three in the Top 20. Feb. 19: At No. 17 Coastal Carolina in Conway, S.C.
March 6: At No. 19 East Carolina in Greenville, N.C.
April 16-18: Home vs. No. 20 Louisville
May 8-9: Home vs. No. 39 Notre Dame
Going for 30 and Beyond The Mountaineers are gunning for another 30-plus win season, which would mark their third consecutive season of reaching the number. If WVU can attain 30 or more wins in the 2010 season, it would be the first time since the 1996-98 seasons that the Mountaineers have accomplished the feat. In 2008, West Virginia finished 35-21, followed by last year’s 37-18 record. The Closer Returns Mountaineer senior relief pitcher Chris Enourato is already etched into the school record books as the all-time saves leader with 17. In fact, he broke WVU’s career saves record early in his junior season on March 29, 2009, at Villanova. An NCBWA Preseason Stopper of the Year Award watch list member, Enourato is one of four seniors on this year’s ballclub. The Bridgeport, W.Va., resident looks to have his best year yet in helping WVU stay competitive in the BIG EAST. Position Battles In 2010, four positions are open for the everyday starting job in catcher, first base, centerfield and left field. Although no position is ever guaranteed, the aforementioned spots became vacant after four players from the 2009 team graduated or were drafted. Six players, most notably freshman Matt Malloy and junior college transfer Kevin Griffin, are vying for the open catcher spot. Freshmen Matt Frazer and T.J. Kuban as well as redshirt sophomore Justin Ellis will compete for the everyday job at first base. Centerfield and left field feature interchangeable players in redshirt junior Mark Dvoroznak and freshman speedster Brady Wilson, while Jeremy Gum, Dom Hayes and Clark Sambuco also look for time out in left field.
Jarryd Summers
2010 WEST VIRGINIA BASEBALL
Three Make All-BIG EAST Team Along with the BIG EAST Preseason Poll came the announcement of the preseason all-BIG EAST team, which included juniors Jedd Gyorko, Dan DiBartolomeo and Jarryd Summers. Gyorko earned an extra honor as the notable shortstop was named BIG EAST Preseason Player of the Year, and was a unanimous selection to the all-BIG EAST Team. DiBartolomeo, a third baseman, is coming off his record-setting sophomore campaign where he hit .439, and Summers emerged as one of the conference’s best starting pitchers last year with a BIG EAST best 3.06 ERA.

preseason notebook Offensive Powerhouse When it comes to production at the plate, there are not many schools that have been able to match WVU’s ability with the bat. In three of the last five seasons, WVU has finished in the Top 5 nationally in batting average. In 2006, it finished second with a .339 average, then was fifth in 2008 at .341 and finished third in 2009 with a .360 average. WVU has also excelled at hitting in the gaps, ranking among the country’s best since 2005 at smacking doubles. Each season, the Mountaineers have finished 30th or better in doubles per game, and led the nation last year at nearly three per game (2.93).
2010 WEST VIRGINIA BASEBALL
Triple Threat WVU returns its top starting pitcher, middle reliever and closer for the 2010 season. Starter Jarryd Summers, a junior, made a case for being arguably the best pitcher in the BIG EAST last season. The Sharpsville, Pa., native led the conference with a 3.06 ERA and went 7-3 with 99 strikeouts. Senior reliever Andy Altemus, who can be used in middle and long relief, went 1-1 with a 4.28 ERA in 61 innings pitched. Closer Chris Enourato wrapped up his junior year with six saves while striking out 58 batters in 46.2 innings pitched.
32
Buckner Breakthrough Redshirt junior Grant Buckner will be counted on to help a young Mountaineer offense produce this season. The Elkview, W.Va., native was a huge part of WVU’s success last season, enjoying a breakthrough year by batting .325 with five home runs and 45 RBIs. Last year, Buckner spent the majority of the time in the No. 6, 7 and 8 spots of the batting order. This season, expect the talented slugger to have more of a power-hitting role instead of providing protection at the bottom of the lineup. 14 And Beyond Juniors Dan DiBartolomeo and Jedd Gyorko each enter the 2010 season carrying 14-game hitting streaks Besides being stellar with their gloves, both players gained even more recognition for their ability at the dish. DiBartolomeo (.439/.489/.644) finished as WVU’s single season leader in batting average, while Gyorko (.421/.487/.658) was not too far behind. Last season, DiBartolomeo carried a 23-game hitting streak that was snapped by laying down a sacrifice bunt that helped bring in the winning run against Ohio. Lending a Hand Redshirt junior Mark Dvoroznak has high hopes of being WVU’s full-time starter at centerfield. But no matter how good or bad this season turns out for the Westlake, Ohio, native, he can always be proud of his offseason initiative in the Dominican Republic. Dvoroznak joined members of SCORE International on a shortterm missionary trip this summer to the Dominican Republic. There, Dvoroznak helped teach underprivileged children about the game of baseball, and traveled to different villages to help feed impoverished families.
The 2010 NCAA Baseball Championship The 64th Annual College Baseball World Series will take place June 19-29 at Johnny Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Neb. This is the 60th time that the College World Series will be played in Omaha. The field consists of 64 teams, with 29 conference champions joined by 35 at-large selections. A total of 16 four-team, double-elimination regionals will be played on the campuses of participating institutions or at neutral sites June 4-7. Eight two-team super regionals will then be played June 11-13 or June 12-14 at campus sites. The winners advance to the College World Series. National television coverage of the 2010 College World Series will be provided by ESPN, including the championship series, June 27-29. Leaning on the Lefties Having enough left-handed options is always a priority for a pitching staff. Two returning starters include sophomore left-handers Chase Pickering and Jonathan Jones. Both players earned a great deal of experience last season. Jones, a Fredericksburg, Va., native, went 6-2 with a 6.57 ERA in 2009. He started in 12 games, threw one complete game and struck out 54 batters in 63 innings pitched. Pickering, a Cross Lanes, W.Va., native, can work his way up the rotation if he keeps improving his repertoire of pitches. The long-armed lefty went 3-2 with a 6.29 ERA last season, making five starts and eight appearances. Mountaineer Diamond Classic In 2009, the Mountaineer baseball program made every effort to bring its brand back to Southern West Virginia. Luckily for the WVU faithful, the process came to fruition and became a smashing success. After a nine-year hiatus, the Mountaineers came back to Charleston on March 24, 2009, in front of 2,452 fans at Appalachian Power Park. The result was a 10-7 win over Southeastern Conference foe Kentucky, giving WVU a 2-0 mark against SEC schools last season. On Tuesday, April 13, WVU will return to the southern part of the state to take on another competitive squad in Eastern Kentucky of the Ohio Valley Conference. The Mountaineers and Colonels have met seven times, with WVU holding a 4-3 edge since splitting with EKU in 1983. The Colonels have won 10 OVC championships and have participated in four NCAA Regionals. WVU is 4-2 all-time at the Mountaineer Diamond Classic. Its six-game history is as follows: March 21, 1995 Virginia Tech 4, WVU 3 April 8, 1996 WVU 12, Marshall 4 April 10, 1997 WVU 14, Eastern Kentucky 10 April 7, 1998 WVU 12, Marshall 11 April 5, 1999 Morehead State 4, WVU 3 March 28, 2000 WVU vs. Louisville - Rained Out March 24, 2009 WVU 10, Kentucky 7

2009 SEASON REVIEW
the 2009 season

NCAA Leader
2010 WEST VIRGINIA BASEBALL
The 2009 Mountaineers led the nation in doubles per game.
60
When the BIG EAST Conference released its annual preseason coaches’ poll on Jan. 16, 2009, West Virginia’s seventh-place prediction was quite glaring. Despite returning several refined hitters and a wealth of potential on the mound, the Mountaineers were still fighting for conference-wide respect. By the end of the season, WVU rose to the challenge and emerged as arguably the most exciting team in the BIG EAST. It finished the year leading the conference, and sitting atop the nation, in virtually every offensive category, and produced three of the conference’s most dominant pitchers in starters Jarryd Summers and Billy Gross and reliever Chris Enourato. It truly was a season of feats for the Mountaineers, accomplishing a laundry list of achievements that made them one of the most competitive ballclubs in program history. They finished the season with a 37-18 overall record, tying the 1998 squad for the most victories in a regular season since joining the BIG EAST, and tallied
a school-record nine all-conference performers en route to becoming the greatest offensive unit in WVU’s 115-year history. Behind the leadership of coaches Greg Van Zant, Pat Sherald and Tad Reida, WVU opened the eyes of several Division I programs across the country with its perfect offensive game plan, providing a striking balance of power (68 home runs, .564 team slugging percentage) and small ball (second in the nation with 88 sacrifice bunts). Whatever method was devised for crossing the plate, the Mountaineers executed it with efficiency and frequency. They set single-season school records for batting average (.360), RBIs (491), doubles (161), extra base hits (242) and runs scored (525). Just like in year’s past, the offensive-oriented Mountaineers finished in the top 15 in many hitting categories. Led by three .400-plus hitters in Dan DiBartolomeo (.439), Jedd Gyorko (.421) and Vince Belnome (.418), WVU finished first nationally in doubles per game (2.93), third in batting average, sixth in runs per game (9.5), eighth in slugging percentage and 12th in runs scored.
2009 SEASON REVIEW
2010 WEST VIRGINIA BASEBALL
Vince Belnome
Staff ace Summers had a superb sophomore year, finishing 7-3 with a 3.06 ERA and a team-best 99 strikeouts in 94 innings pitched. The Sharpsville, Pa., native held the opposition to a .239 average, leading the BIG EAST in ERA and doubles allowed (8) while finishing in the top five in opposing batting average, strikeouts, wins, games started (14), runs allowed (41) and innings pitched. Veteran Gross had a career year for WVU, compiling a 9-4 mark with a 4.23 ERA and four complete games. The Frederick, Md., native threw 87.1 innings and finished second in the BIG EAST in victories, sixth in innings pitched and seventh in ERA. Gross also went 3-1 in rubber-game starts in conference play to give WVU key victories over Villanova, St. John’s and Rutgers. Enourato, the school’s all-time saves leader with 17, made 20 appearances and registered a 6-2 mark in 46.2 innings. The Bridgeport, W.Va., resident struck out 58 batters while holding opponents to a .268 average, good enough for second on the team. The Old Gold and Blue began the season with a four-game non-conference slate at the inaugural BIG EAST/Big Ten Challenge in St. Petersburg/Clearwater, Fla. The Mountaineers went 2-2 in their opening stretch, highlighted by a resounding 14-4 victory over NCAA Tournament participant Indiana and a 10-5 win over Northwestern. Against the Hoosiers, Summers and Enourato combined to strike out a season-high 16 batters as WVU pounded out 18 hits in its victory. WVU shifted its focus to the Baseball at the Beach Tournament in Conway, S.C., where it met Southeastern Conference foe Tennessee for the first time since 2003. A thrilling back-and-forth contest was broke open by WVU when Tobias Streich hit a tie-breaking solo home run in the seventh to elevate the Mountaineers to an 11-6 victory. A home-opening four-game series against New Jersey Tech revealed just how powerful WVU’s nationally-ranked offense was. In the second game of a doubleheader on March 8, the Mountaineers defeated the Highlanders, 30-3, garnering their most runs in a single game since scoring 34 runs against Coppin State on April 21, 1998. RBI workhorse Belnome and DiBartolomeo each tallied five hits apiece to lead the onslaught. Another non-conference foe was conquered when WVU defeated SEC school Kentucky, 10-7, at the West Virginia Power Classic in Charleston, W.Va. In front of 2,452 energized fans at Appalachian Power Park, WVU overcame an early 5-3 deficit to defeat the Wildcats for the first time since 1988. Streich came through again with a game-breaking grand slam to erase a one-run deficit and give WVU a key non-conference win. If WVU’s non-conference success didn’t impress other foes across the conference, its beginning to BIG EAST play certainly grabbed plenty of attention. WVU won its first four conference series (Connecticut, Villanova, Georgetown and St. John’s) for the first time since joining the BIG EAST in 1996, going 10-2 to storm out to an early lead in the conference. WVU swept BIG EAST postseason runner-up UConn, defeated Villanova in two of three on the road and swept rival Georgetown in Morgantown. With a 23-6 overall mark, the Mountaineers were already exceeding many expectations. However, the legitimacy of their fast start was tested when BIG EAST power St. John’s stormed into town with one of the country’s best offenses. Behind Austin Markel’s early grand slam, WVU led off with a 9-3 victory before the Red Storm came back with a 10-5 win in game two. Rubber-game starter Gross and a relentless offensive lineup guided WVU to a momentum-building 16-2 win to give the Mountaineers their first series win over St. John’s since 2004. As a result of WVU’s rise to prominence in the early portion of the year, it received a No. 26 ranking in the Collegiate Baseball Poll, its highest position in the poll since earning the 16th spot to finish the 1982 season. WVU enjoyed a streak where it won 17 of its previous 20 games, helping it earn a national ranking for the first time since being placed 29th in the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association poll on April 4, 2006. Fifth-year senior leader Justin Parks had a historical night on April 14 to help WVU defeat neighboring rival Duquesne, 21-12, and give the Mountaineers a

2009 SEASON REVIEW
2010 WEST VIRGINIA BASEBALL
The second game of the doubleheader featured a dominating performance by freshman left-hander Jonathan Jones as the Mountaineers finished the day with a 9-2 victory in the nightcap. Jones, a Fredericksburg, Va., native, gave up one earned run and struck out seven in 7.1 innings to lift WVU to another series win. Despite coming away with a series victory, the final game against the Bearcats still carried plenty of weight down the final stretch of the season. Belnome responded by enjoying the single greatest offensive performance in school history, becoming the first Mountaineer to tally six hits, which included two home runs, while amassing nine RBIs as WVU ended its conference home season with an 18-3 win. As a result of its breakthrough campaign, WVU finished third in the conference in the regular season to garner its best standing since finishing second in 2003. The Mountaineers went 1-2 at the BIG EAST Championship in Clearwater, Fla., including a 20-8 win over Pitt on May 21 that set the tournament record for most runs by one team in a single game. Despite entering the 2009 season with several doubters, a focused and energized WVU ballclub made plenty of headway in finishing above expectations. Possessing one of the nation’s most dangerous offensive lineups and a solid blend of arms, the Mountaineers once again became a legitimate player in the BIG EAST and contended atop the conference from start to finish. With a hard-working, talented cast of humble players, the 2009 Mountaineers will be known as a competitive bunch that journeyed through one of the most exciting seasons in school history.

Billy Gross
three-game sweep over the Dukes. Parks went 4-for-6 with two home runs, including a grand slam, and a career-high seven RBIs to pave WVU to a seven-inning victory while extending its all-time series record to 70-8 against Duquesne. WVU’s mid-season rise was halted by a damaging six-game road stretch at Notre Dame and No. 29 USF. The Mountaineers got off to an auspicious beginning against the Fighting Irish, winning 19-3 on April 17, to giving Notre Dame its worst home loss since playing at Frank Eck Stadium in 1994. Nationally acclaimed shortstop Gyorko and Parks smashed three-run home runs to lead WVU. Over the next five games, however, the Mountaineers were ousted by Notre Dame and fell in a three-game sweep at USF. After coming back home to defeat Morehead State, 8-1, on April 28, WVU lost a tight battle with Atlantic Coast Conference rival Maryland, 8-7, to fall to 2913 overall. Seeking another spark in conference play, WVU responded by taking two of three at home against Rutgers to begin the critical month of May. Summers fanned 10 batters in 7.2 innings pitched to guide the Mountaineers to a 13-1 victory in game one, and Gross threw a complete game in the rubber contest as WVU won 9-3 for its fifth conference series win. With its final conference home series playing a key role in postseason seeding, WVU came through with a startling three-game sweep over Cincinnati. An entertaining slugfest was waged in the first game as both teams combined to hit seven home runs on a windy day in Morgantown, but WVU pulled away with an eight-run seventh inning and some quality relief pitching from Enourato to win 15-9.

Tom Shafer • 1961
Bill Marovic • 1964
Known as one of the best pitchers to grace the Old Gold and Blue, Tom Shafer was named an Amateur Baseball Federation second team All-American after emerging as the ace of the pitching rotation in 1961. Shafer finished the regular season with a 6-1 mark and a 1.45 ERA. The hurler struck out 56 batters in 56 innings pitched, and gave up only nine earned runs while walking 18 batters. He led the Mountaineers to a 17-10 finish, including another postseason berth at the NCAA Tournament in Gastonia, N.C. Shafer is the school’s all-time leader in career ERA (1.69), seventh in innings pitched (235.0) and ninth in winning percentage (.708). He is also tied for eighth on the single-season list for wins (nine in 1962) and ninth for his eight complete games in 1962.
Bill Marovic earned the prestigious honor of being WVU’s first-ever ABCA first-team All-American. The Leckrone, Pa., native ended the 1964 season with a well-rounded .404 average. The three-year letterman led one of WVU’s most potent offenses, with six batters finishing with a .300 or better average. Marovic created havoc for opposing pitchers on the base paths, racking up a team-leading 27 stolen bases. WVU finished the season at 24-5, falling in its first two postseason contests against Mississippi and East Carolina. The athletic centerfielder ranks first on the school’s all-time career list in stolen bases (74) and is tied for seventh with eight triples. His .404 average at the plate puts him 11th on WVU’s single-season list.
Ed Tekavec • 1961
Mark Landers • 1994
The versatile infielder who could play at both corners was honored as an American Baseball Coaches Association second team All-American in 1961, giving WVU its first All-American combination with Ed Tekavec and Tom Shafer. Tekavec led the offense with a blistering .427 batting average. He boasted a team-best 32 hits, 23 RBIs and 38 total bases prior to WVU’s entrance into the NCAA postseason. The upstart player platooned all around the infield, ranging from shortstop to third base to first base. He committed only two errors during his All-American campaign, making him a viable candidate as one of the nation’s best players. Tekavec lettered as a Mountaineer from 1960-62.
The Charleston, W.Va., native became the first Mountaineer to earn multiple All-American honors, being named an ABCA second team All-American as well as a Collegiate Baseball and National College Baseball Writers Association Third-Team All-American in 1994. Mark Landers was the catalyst for WVU’s recordsetting squad that reached the 40-win plateau for the first time in school history. He garnered a solid .416 average with a WVU single- season record 19 home runs and 81 RBIs, as well as 22 doubles. He added 91 hits and 57 runs scored to highlight his prolific season from the plate. The Mountaineers had an eventful season, winning the Atlantic-10 Tournament and then defeating St. Peter’s twice in an NCAA play-in series at Hawley Field behind Landers’ offensive prowess. Landers is fourth on the school’s all-time list in home runs (32) and RBIs (167). He is also atop WVU’s career leaders in base hits (220), at-bats (646), doubles (57), extra base hits (89), runs scored (142) and multi-hit games (61).
Joe Hatalla • 1962
Chris Enochs • 1997
Joe Hatalla led WVU’s offensive attack in 1962 en route to being named a third team ABCA All-American. He powered his way to a .415 average during the regular season, and compiled one home run, 10 RBIs, eight doubles and a triple. The talented infielder paced the Mountaineers to a 17-9 record and another NCAA berth. Defensiveminded as well, he led the squad with 65 assists and sported a .954 fielding percentage during his standout season. The Nemacolin, Pa., native played at WVU from 1961-63.
As the dominant pitcher in WVU’s 1997 starting rotation, Chris Enochs was rewarded as a Collegiate Baseball and ABCA first team All-American. Besides being the second player to ever garner first-team honors, Enoch also was named a Sporting News, Baseball America and NCBWA second team All-American. Enochs’ productive season on the mound included a 12-1 mark with a 3.03 ERA. He tossed a single-season record 10 complete games and struck out 86 batters. The Newell, W.Va., native threw 95 innings in 15 appearances, which involved 14 starts. The multi-faceted player also hit well at the plate, carrying a .281 average with two home runs and 19 RBIs during his vintage season. His 21 career victories are tied for ninth all-time at WVU in just three seasons of work.

Tyler Kuhn • 2008
Joe McNamee was honored as an ABCA third team All-American at left field during the 1998 season. He led the Mountaineer hitting attack with a .429 average, 13 home runs, 66 RBIs and 27 doubles. Furthermore, the Bridgeport, W.Va., native tallied 61 runs and 152 total bases while putting together a .796 slugging percentage. He led a powerful batting lineup that hit .358 as a team, the highest in school history. Revealing his intimidation at the plate, McNamee was intentionally walked five times, nearly half of WVU’s 11 intentional passes in 1998. He was a three-time letterman from 1996-98.
One of the great all-around baseball players at WVU, Tyler Kuhn finished off his senior campaign as a Pro Line Athletic/NCBWA and Rawlings/ABCA third team All-American. Known as one of the country’s most talented shortstops, Kuhn batted .424 with nine home runs, 56 RBIs and 17 doubles while leading the nation’s fifthbest offense to a 35-21 mark in 2008. The Louisville, Ky., native lettered from 2005-08 and was drafted by the Chicago White Sox. He is regarded as WVU’s “Iron Man” after playing in all 220 career games during his illustrious four-year career.
Adam White • 2006
Jedd Gyorko • 2008, 2009
Adam White burst onto the scene during his first season as a Mountaineer, being named a Collegiate Baseball Freshman All-American in 2006. The athletic centerfielder became the first WVU player to earn freshman All-America status. The Morrisdale, Pa., native became the first out-of-state player since Bill Marovic in 1964 to be named an All-American. He batted .368 with one home run, 27 RBIs, six doubles, three triples and a team-best 19 stolen bases. White sported a .428 on-base percentage, third highest on the squad. He was a two-year letterman at WVU before joining the Cleveland Indians organization prior to his junior season.
In 2008, Jedd Gyorko enjoyed arguably the greatest freshman season of any Mountaineer. The Morgantown native was named a Pro Line Athletic/ NCBWA, Rivals.com and Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American for his solid hitting and stellar play at second base. Gyorko also was honored as a Pro Line Athletic/NCBWA second team All-American, joining a host of upperclassmen. His remarkable first season included a .409 batting average with eight home runs and 63 RBIs. The in-state product also compiled 95 hits, 62 runs scored, 17 doubles and three triples. His .612 slugging percentage was third on the team, making him one of the focal points of WVU’s astounding offense that produced the second-best batting average in school history. In 2009, Gyorko enjoyed another standout year, batting .421 with eight home runs, 58 RBIs, a school-record 28 doubles and 96 hits. He was named a second team Louisville Slugger All-American, a Pro Line Athletic/NCBWA third team All-American, a Brooks Wallace Award Finalist and the NCBWA District II Player of the Year. Through two seasons, Gyorko leads WVU with a .415 career batting average, and holds the second and third place spots on the singleseason hits list with 96 and 95, respectively. He is WVU’s only two-time All-American.
Justin Jenkins • 2007
Vince Belnome • 2009
The Ridgeley, W.Va., native left his final season at WVU in style after being named a Collegiate Baseball third team All-American in 2007. Justin Jenkins was also named to the Pro-Line Athletic NCBWA third team, as well as the Louisville Slugger NCAA Division I All-America third team. His superb senior year was highlighted by a 38game hitting streak that lasted from Feb. 17-April 28. Jenkins’ run was the longest ever by a BIG EAST player and ties for 10th place in NCAA history. Jenkins led the Mountaineers with a .372 batting average and produced 11 home runs and a team-high 21 doubles. After his superb 2007 season, he was signed by the Cleveland Indians. The steady left fielder is a fixture in the Mountaineer career record books, sitting among the school’s career leaders in batting average (.369), base hits (253), home runs (33), at-bats (686), RBIs (140), doubles (69), extra base hits (105) and runs scored (158).
Known as one of the greatest pure hitters in school history, Vince Belnome earned third team College Baseball Insider All-America honors after having his most prolific season in his final year. Belnome, who gave up his final year of eligibility after being drafted by the San Diego Padres in the 28th round, set the school record for RBIs with 84 in 2009. The Coatesville, Pa., native batted .418 with nine home runs, 20 doubles, 66 runs scored and 89 hits.

He finished his three-year career among the school’s all-time leaders in batting average (.388), base hits (216) and RBIs (174). Belnome also owns arguably the greatest single-game performance in Mountaineer history, going 6-for-6 with two home runs, nine RBIs and four runs scored in an 18-3 rout over Cincinnati on May 10.

2010 WEST VIRGINIA BASEBALL
Former WVU pitcher Jeremy Cummings became the first Mountaineer baseball player to compete in the Summer Olympic Games as he helped lead Team USA to a Bronze Medal at the 2008 Games in Beijing, China. The Charleston, W.Va., native allowed one run on three hits in five innings pitched, contributing two solid appearances for the Red, White and Blue. Cummings’ second appearance included tossing two shutout innings in a 4-2 victory over Japan in 11 innings. Cummings’ other appearance came in a 5-4 extra-inning loss to defending champion Cuba, which finished with a silver medal. Not only did Cummings receive the thrill of competing for his native country, he also went on to enjoy one of his finest seasons as a member of the Durham Bulls, the Triple-A affiliate of the Tampa Bay Rays. He emerged at the front of the starting rotation with an 8-3 record and a 2.87 ERA in 14 games started. Cummings held several high marks while playing at WVU from 199699. He is the school’s all-time leader in career appearances with 58, eighth all-time with 225.1 innings pitched and is tenth on the career list with 211 strikeouts. The former Mountaineer standout also holds several single-season marks. His 109.2 innings pitched and 15 starts in 1999 are both second all-time, and his 119 strikeouts during the same season are fourth on the single-season list. Cummings also had 18 appearances during his junior campaign in 1998, good for sixth on WVU’s single-season list.

WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY
The State’s Flagship University Located in Morgantown, WVU’s main campus is within easy traveling distance of the metropolitan areas of Pittsburgh, Pa., about 70 miles to the north, and Baltimore and Washington, D.C., about 200 miles to the east. Morgantown itself is a comfortably sized community of more than 50,000, including WVU students. Recently, national media outlets such as CNBC have spotlighted Morgantown as an oasis of economic strength in the midst of a global recession. Careerbuilder.com ranked the city as one of the “25 Best Cities to Find a Job.” In recent years, Morgantown has earned many other accolades. The city was named the No. 1 one small city in America by BizJournals.com and the best small city in the East by Prometheus Publications. Forbes magazine named Morgantown the nation’s 5th “Best Small Metro,” and Inc., an online entrepreneurial website and magazine, ranked it 15th in “Overall Best Cities.” Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine listed it 29th among “50 Smart Places to Live.” Recreational and job opportunities were among the factors Men’s Journal cited in naming Morgantown the nation’s third-best small city. A parenting magazine ranked Monongalia County as having one of the country’s top 100 school districts. And WVU’s campus offers one of the nation’s safest college environments—Reader’s Digest ranked it 18th among 135 U.S. colleges and universities and gave WVU an A for its strong commitment to safety. WVU’s main Morgantown location includes three distinct campuses — Downtown, Evansdale and the Health Sciences campus. The Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) system—named top people-mover in the nation — has shuttled people among the campuses since the U.S. Department of Transportation built it 30 years ago. WVU was named one of the nation’s “Best Workplaces for Commuters” for its innovative and effective transportation services for employees and students.

West Virginia University is a leading 21st century land-grant institution that is improving people’s lives through teaching, discovery and outreach. The University’s top priority is education. Here, teaching means much more than lecturing. WVU faculty are mentors who engage and involve students through service learning projects, hands-on research, the newest technology, study-abroad programs and innovative curricula. Students emerge from WVU with a broad liberal arts education and a thorough preparation for successful careers. Fall 2008 student enrollment on the main campus was 28,840, the highest in WVU history. And beyond record numbers, the incoming freshman class continued a pattern of increasingly high academic credentials. WVU offers 185 degree programs from the bachelor’s through the doctoral and first-professional levels. In 2007-08, WVU awarded 5,806 degrees. The University offers a wide array of majors, including a highly competitive doctoral program in physical therapy, the nation’s first entirely web-based integrated marketing communications master’s degree, and high quality engineering, education, business, agriculture, creative arts, and journalism programs. A partnership with the FBI created the world’s first university-level degree program in forensic and investigative science. Students study the biology and chemistry of crime-fighting and prepare to create technologies that enhance safety in an ever more dangerous world. The schools of medicine, dentistry, nursing and pharmacy offer a wide range of health science programs at the Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center. WVU is also home to the state’s only law school. WVU students receive more than $215 million a year in grants, loans, work study, fee waivers and scholarships. Awards are based on financial need and academic ability. About 70 percent of WVU undergraduates receive some financial aid; almost half of the aid given to resident undergraduates is as grants and scholarships. Donors to WVU have contributed to the institution’s growing national stature. In the past year, the WVU Foundation disbursed over $43 million on behalf of the University, and over the past 10 years, it has provided WVU over $360 million in direct support. The Foundation’s assets are in excess of $700 million and its endowment is in excess of $310 million.

The University strives constantly to improve its facilities to offer students a top-notch living and learning experience. Several buildings on the Downtown Campus have recently undergone complete renovations to meet the educational needs of 21st century learners. Colson Hall now houses the Department of English. A $28 million renovation turned Brooks Hall into an environmentally friendly “green building” that houses the Department of Geology and Geography. Oglebay Hall, one of ten campus buildings on the National Register of Historic Places, underwent a $23 million renovation to become a state-of-the-art home to WVU’s Forensic and Investigative Science Program. A new lecture hall, Ming Hsieh Hall, opened adjacent to Oglebay. Cutting-edge learning tools also await students at the Downtown Campus Library. Group viewing rooms with large plasma screens and wireless keyboards enable students to craft team presentations or watch assigned films on DVD. At other study areas, powerful PCs offer blazing Internet connections. The library also provides laptops with wireless Internet connections for use throughout the building. In the Life Sciences Building, psychology and biology students learn in sophisticated research labs and multimedia-equipped lecture halls. The building houses a computer lab, therapy and observation rooms and a greenhouse. To help students maintain physical and mental health, the Student Recreation Center offers a six-lane lap pool and a warmer leisure pool; a 20-person whirlpool; seven courts for basketball, volleyball, and badminton; fitness machines and free weights covering 17,000 square feet; and a 50-foot climbing wall. In 2006, Lincoln Hall opened as WVU’s first residence hall to operate on an innovative residential college model. Another new residence hall is opening this summer to house high achieving students who participate in the WVU Honors College. Not all WVU students are in Morgantown. Potomac State College in Keyser and WVU Institute of Technology in Montgomery are divisions of WVU. The WVU Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center has divisions in Charleston and Martinsburg. WVU offers many online courses and degree programs for students and professionals around the world.
Exceptional Faculty and Students The WVU community takes pride in its top-notch faculty. Many are nationally and internationally recognized experts in their fields. In the past 19 years, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has honored 16 WVU faculty as West Virginia Professors of the Year. Eight WVU faculty have been named Professor of the Year by the Faculty Merit Foundation, and University faculty consistently win Fulbright grants that provide teaching and research opportunities around the globe. The work of outstanding teachers is reflected in students’ accomplishments. WVU has produced 25 Rhodes Scholars. Many students have received other prestigious scholarships; WVU students have received 20 Truman Scholarships, 32 Goldwater Scholarships, two Udall Scholarships and two Marshall Scholarships. In 2006, a WVU student was the only person in the nation to win the Goldwater and the Truman awards; in 2009, a previous WVU Truman Scholarship winner received the Goldwater Scholarship and placement on USA Today’s All-USA College Academic First Team. WVU is a Truman Honor Institution — only 17 schools earned that distinction in 1996, the inaugural year. WVU students are nurtured and challenged. The University Honors College involves about 1,400 students each year. WVU’s commitment to students does not focus solely on the high achiever, however. The University supports all students by continually improving the libraries, providing learning centers, computer labs, health service, a counseling center, a disabilities office, a career planning and placement center and an array of other student services. The Center for Civic Engagement helps students help others while growing intellectually through service-learning projects and trips. WVU offers a comprehensive First-Year Experience to help students adjust to college life. Advising, entertainment, and some classes take place in the residence halls, and faculty mentors live next door to help students make the most of their WVU experience. The Adventure WV Program is an outdoor orientation for firstyear students at WVU. It offers participants challenging and exciting experiences and opportunities to learn about themselves, future classmates, WVU, and West Virginia.
WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY A ceremony welcomes freshmen to campus each fall and introduces them to the University’s academic opportunities. The campus also celebrates the start of the academic year with FallFest, a major concert and activities that include film festivals, comedy acts, and more. WVUp All Night offers students free refreshments and safe, fun weekend activities. The unique Mountaineer Parents Club, which has chapters throughout West Virginia and across the nation, connects parents with campus life and provides support and encouragement to students. The club currently involves more than 20,000 families. A toll-free helpline (1-800-WVU-0096) enables parents to seek information or share compliments, suggestions and concerns. To enhance campus life, the University secures a wide range of entertainment — big-name concerts and lecturers, films, cultural events, art exhibits and special events such as Homecoming, Mountaineer Week (a tribute to Appalachian culture), and Fall Family Weekend. Many events, such as the Festival of Ideas lecture series, expose students to a rich diversity of cultures, theories and ideas. And, with more than 300 student organizations flourishing — including academic, service, political, religious and recreational groups — every student has a chance for extracurricular involvement. A unique student athletic boosters club, the Mountaineer Maniacs, supports 17 varsity sports programs. An award-winning marching band, some 325 members strong, is a source of pride statewide. WVU is committed to promoting diversity on campus and protecting the rights of all people to benefit from WVU educational opportunities. oneWVU is an initiative that draws upon the popularity of WVU athletics to raise awareness about diversity.
Serving the State Sharing WVU knowledge with state citizens and the nation is a major component of the land-grant mission. For nearly 100 years, West Virginians have trusted their WVU Extension Service agents to be their local source of reliable and timely information. Working with more than 336,000 youths and adults each year, WVU’s Extension Service helps people improve their lives in all 55 counties of West Virginia. With an office in each county, WVU Extension faculty and staff are nurturing learning partnerships with families, businesses and local organizations. These partnerships bring results. Families live healthier, more satisfying lives; youths who “learn by doing” in 4-H develop leadership skills; farmers and others use resources more wisely; local firefighters and first-responders employ the latest rescue techniques; and citizens revitalize their communities. The four Health Sciences schools at WVU train hundreds of West Virginians to serve as doctors, dentists, nurses, pharmacists, therapists, and health technicians. All Health Sciences students have access to the high-tech facilities on campus and participate in educational experiences in rural and urban areas of West Virginia. WVU’s health professionals serve more than a quarter-million people each year, at three medical campuses in Morgantown, Charleston and the Eastern Panhandle. In Morgantown, the WVU Hospitals complex includes a children’s hospital, a psychiatric hospital, a trauma center, a cancer center and the state’s most advanced diagnostic and treatment facilities. The WVU Eye Institute provides the entire state with vision-related health services.

Creating New Knowledge Since its founding in 1867 as a land-grant institution, WVU has developed into the state’s flagship research university. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching classified WVU as a Research University (High Research Activity). University faculty members secure $141 million annually in sponsored contracts and research grants. WVU faculty members are studying gene mapping, developing new anti-cancer and anti-diabetic drugs, helping forensic investigators solve crimes, creating better materials for building bridges and conducting other cutting-edge research to help improve people’s lives. The state of West Virginia has created a Research Trust Fund to leverage public and private investments that will transform West Virginia’s economy. WVU will be able to tap into this fund to double private gifts that support research in key areas linked to economic development, health care and job growth. WVU is focusing its efforts on research in energy, health and biomedical sciences and security and intelligence. WVU, historically a leader in energy research, is poised to help our nation become energy independent and more environmentally responsible. Through the University’s new Advanced Energy Initiative, more than 100 skilled faculty members are performing research on issues such clean power generation, innovative coal extraction technology, and high efficiency engine and vehicle technology. They have executed nearly $100 million in energy-related research during the past four years alone. Researchers at WVU’s Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center contribute to the health of the state and the world through cuttingedge projects that are focused on areas of health that are especially important to West Virginia. WVU is also the home of the Blanchette Rockefeller Neurosciences Institute, dedicated to the study of Alzheimer’s and other diseases that affect the brain.
The University’s international leadership in biometrics led the FBI to name WVU its lead academic partner in biometrics research. Besides having worldwide significance on security issues, this partnership provides WVU students with an academic opportunity unmatched at any other institution in the United States. At WVU today, there are more than 60 specialized research centers and institutes.

James P. Clements believes that great universities must operate on the principles of shared governance and community engagement in order to solve problems. Since becoming West Virginia University’s 23rd president on June 30, 2009, Dr. Clements has worked diligently to lay a foundation of cooperation for WVU, strengthening local and global partnerships that not only produce meaningful results for the University, but provide lasting benefits for all West Virginians. Dr. Clements often says that no university in the country means as much to its state as WVU means to West Virginia. In order to fortify that relationship, he plans to continue positioning the University as a 21st century land-grant institution, providing innovative academic and wellness programs for students, technologically advanced research for use around the globe and substantial service and health-care initiatives for the community. To achieve that vision, Dr. Clements invited input on a strategic plan, a proposal that will provide direction for the next 10 years, and establishes the groundwork for the next 100. The responses to his “Share Your Vision” survey formed themes around seven key areas that impact the vitality and reputation of the University: academic and faculty excellence, research, undergraduate education, graduate education, state impact, health care and multiculturalism and internationalization. Dr. Clements has already announced several initiatives in support of the plan, including: creating a grants budget office to assist researchers; hiring 100 new faculty members to achieve goals directly related to WVU’s mission; building a new student health facility to increase wellness efforts; dedicating $1.5 million from capital funds to expand recreational space for students; and increasing research to position the University as a leader in fields such as energy, biometrics and health sciences. Additional priorities will be to continue offering world-class health care and to increase state outreach in the health sciences, to find more efficient and effective ways to use technology to drive progress, to increase the diversity of WVU’s learning community and to develop an even broader global focus in preparing students for new international opportunities.
He also plans to focus on increasing student retention, increasing WVU’s doctoral program enrollment, enhancing leadership development and increasing operating funds, among other goals. Dr. Clements’ previous experience in higher education demonstrates his ability to help achieve these objectives, guiding WVU to continued stability, growth and prominence. Before joining the Mountaineer family, Dr. Clements served as provost and vice president at Towson University, the second largest public university in Maryland. Under his leadership, Towson developed academic and student support programs that led to impressive increases in enrollment as well as retention and graduation rates. Towson’s externally-funded research increased by 36 percent during Dr. Clements’ tenure as provost. Prior to becoming provost, he served as Towson University’s vice president for economic and community outreach and as the Robert W. Deutsch Distinguished Professor and chair of the Department of Computer & Information Sciences. He was a four-time recipient of Towson’s Faculty Member of the Year Award given by students at the University. With a background in computer science, Dr. Clements also brings technological savvy to his role as president. He has a B.S. in computer science and an M.S. and Ph.D. in operations analysis from the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC), as well as an M.S. in computer science from Johns Hopkins University. His project management textbook, in its fourth edition, is used in more than 20 countries and is published in four languages. In October 2009, he was named UMBC’s Alumnus of the Year in the Engineering and Information Technology category. Dr. Clements chairs the boards of the WVU Research Corporation, the West Virginia United Health System, WVU Hospitals and the West Virginia Clinical and Translational Science Institute Executive Advisory Board. He also serves as an ex-officio member of the WVU Foundation and WVU Alumni Association boards. He is married to Beth Clements, and they have four children – Tyler, twin daughters Hannah and Maggie, and Grace.
