The 2023 campaign marks coach Randy Mazey’s 11th season at West Virginia after guiding the team to unprecedented heights in his first 10 years in Morgantown, including an NCAA Tournament appearance in 2017, hosting an NCAA Regional in 2019, and four consecutive Big 12 Championship semifinal appearances from 2016-19.

Known as one of the top on-field coaches in collegiate baseball, Mazey led WVU to its first postseason appearance in 21 years in 2017, as the Mountaineers reached the NCAA regional final for the third time in program history. In 2019, he was named the Big 12 Coach of the Year and ABCA East Regional Coach of the Year after guiding the Mountaineers to a 38-win campaign, which featured the program hosting its first NCAA Regional since 1955.

During his tenure, West Virginia has quickly risen in the Big 12 Conference, finishing in the top four in four of its first seven seasons in the league and advancing to the Big 12 Championship semifinals four times, with championship game appearances in 2016 and 2019.

Mazey is 296-230 at WVU and is the fourth-winningest coach in the program’s history.

2022

Despite being picked eighth in the preseason Big 12 poll, Mazey’s Mountaineers won 33 games, including a program-record 14 in conference play. It marked the fifth time the veteran coach won at least 30 games at WVU. The squad also swept two Big 12 series for the first time in program history.

West Virginia was the only Big 12 squad to avoid a three-game losing streak, and it was one of just five Power 5 programs to accomplish the feat. In all, WVU was an impressive 15-6 in games following a loss.

On April 9, Mazey coached in his 500th game at West Virginia in an 8-4 win over Baylor.

WVU’s strong baserunning ability continued in 2022, as the Mountaineers finished No. 2 nationally in stolen bases, with 156, good for a single-season school record. Individually, outfielder Victor Scott II swiped 38 bags, which also ranks No. 1 in the Mountaineer record books for one season.

Scott (five round – St. Louis) went on to become one of three Mountaineers selected in the MLB Draft, joining right-handed pitchers Jacob Watters (fourth round – Oakland) and Trey Braithwaite (16th round – Cincinnati).

Eight Mountaineers were placed on All-Big 12 teams, led by Braithwaite, who also was named a Third Team All-American by NCBWA, and outfielder Austin Davis. Catcher McGwire Holbrook earned secondteam honors, while right-handed pitcher Noah Short, Watters, left-hander

Ben Hampton and infielder JJ Wetherholt were Honorable Mention selections. Additionally, right-hander Chris Sleeper joined Wetherholt on the All-Big 12 Freshman Team.

Success in the classroom also was a big theme in 2022, as outfielder Braden Barry and infielder Nathan Blasick earned CoSIDA Academic All-District honors, becoming the first WVU duo to be named to the team in the same year since 2003. What’s more, a program-record 15 Mountaineers were named to the Academic All-Big 12 Team. The squad’s 11 first-team honorees also were an all-time team high.

2021

Mazey’s club won multiple games at the 2021 Big 12 Championship for the sixth time in the last eight tournaments. The Mountaineers also finished the year with five wins over ranked opponents.

West Virginia earned its highest-ranked win in program history with a 5-4 victory at No. 2 Texas on May 20, in Austin. The club matched the feat six days later with a 5-1 win over the Longhorns at the conference tournament on May 26.

The WVU skipper also reached a pair of personal milestones in 2021. On April 11, at Baylor, Mazey collected his 250th win at West Virginia with an 8-4 victory over the Bears. Later in the year, Mazey appeared in his 800th career game as a head coach on April 24, at Kansas State.

The Mountaineer pitching staff finished with 535 strikeouts in 2021, good for the fourth-most in one season in team history. As a team, WVU ranked No. 14 nationally and No. 2 in the Big 12 in strikeouts per nine innings (10.6). What’s more, Wolf became just the fourth WVU pitcher to tally a 100-strikeout season since 2000.

For the second consecutive season, a Mountaineer newcomer earned freshman All-America honors, as Hampton was recognized by Perfect Game. At the conference level, a total of four players were recognized on All-Big 12 teams, as left-handed pitcher Jackson Wolf, who registered 104 strikeouts in 2021, was named an All-Big 12 Second Team selection, while catcher Paul McIntosh and Davis earned honorable mention status. Additionally, Hampton and infielder Mikey Kluska were selected to the Big 12 All-Freshman Team.

Four Mountaineer pitchers were taken in the 2021 MLB Draft. Wolf was the first WVU player to hear his name called, as he was taken in the fourth round by the San Diego Padres. Right-hander Ryan Bergert joined Wolf when he was selected in the sixth round by San Diego. Additionally, righthander Madison Jeffrey (15th round) and left-hander Adam Tulloch (17th round) were each taken by the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Mountaineers also had a superb year in the classroom. A programrecord 12 players were named to the Academic All-Big 12 Team, including eight on the first team.

2020

The Mountaineers played just 16 games in 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. WVU finished 11-5, good for the program’s best 16-game start since 2009. On March 4, four pitchers combined to no-hit Kent State, as right-handers Tyler Strechay, Dillon Meadows, Skylar Gonzalez and Watters led WVU’s to its first nine-inning no-hitter since March 8, 2002. It also marked the first no-no in Monongalia County Ballpark history.

Overall, the Mountaineers allowed four runs or fewer in 14 of their 16 games.

Additionally, two WVU newcomers, left-handed pitcher Jake Carr and infielder/catcher Matt McCormick, earned Freshman All-America honors from Collegiate Baseball Newspaper. It marked the first time two Mountaineers received the honor in the same season since 2016.

In the classroom, eight players were named to the Academic All-Big 12 Team, tying for the most in program history. The squad’s seven first-teams selections were its most since joining the league in 2013.

2019

The 2019 campaign was a historic one on multiple levels for Mazey and the Mountaineers. WVU finished 38-22, the most wins under a Mazeyled team at WVU and second-most all-time. In the Big 12, West Virginia finished 13-11 before advancing to the Big 12 Championship finals for the second time in four years.

However, the biggest news of all came when the Mountaineers were selected to host an NCAA Regional for the first time since 1955. WVU was ranked in the top 25 for the final eight weeks of the season and finished as high as No. 19 in the final NCBWA poll.

A program record eight players were selected in the 2019 MLB Draft, led by junior right-handed pitcher Alek Manoah, who was picked 11th overall by the Toronto Blue Jays, tying for the highest draft pick in program history. Manoah, the first player in program history to be named to more than five

Game. The Mountaineers went 36-22 in Mazey’s fourth season, coming up just short of an NCAA Tournament berth.

West Virginia’s 36 wins were its most in a single season in Mazey’s tenure and the most since a 37-win campaign in 2009. A 12-11 mark in Big 12 play earned the Mountaineers the No. 4 seed in the Big 12 Championship, its secondhighest seed since joining the league. WVU went 3-1 in the tournament and made its first conference title game appearance since 1996 and 11th in team history.

The Mountaineers finished the year as one of the hottest teams in the country, winning 17 of their last 21 games. The stretch included a 10-game winning streak, the longest in the country at the time and WVU’s longest since an 11-game streak in 2008.

Mazey won his 100th game at WVU in an 11-6 victory at Kansas on March 26. He became the fifth coach in program history to eclipse the 100-win mark and the second to accomplish the feat in his first four seasons. Additionally, Mazey’s 300th career win came in an 11-2 win over Texas on May 6.

Throughout the year, West Virginia earned a total of 10 Big 12 weekly honors, the most in a season since WVU joined the Big 12 in 2013 and tied for the most of any school in the conference in 2016. The total included the first sweep by any Big 12 school of the Player, Pitcher and Newcomer of the Week awards on May 2.

program history.

The Mountaineers continued to excel in the classroom, as seven were named to the Academic All-Big 12 team, with five First Team honorees.

Mazey’s success of producing professional talent continued as Chad Donato and Blake Smith were selected in the 2016 MLB Draft by the Houston Astros and Los Angeles Angels, respectively. Ross Vance and Ray Guerrini also signed free-agent contracts with the St. Louis Cardinals and Seattle Mariners and KC Huth signed with the American Association’s Joplin Blasters.

2015

With a young squad, the program’s upward progression continued in Mazey’s third season, as the Mountaineers earned a berth in the Big 12 Championship for the third consecutive season.

In the inaugural season of Monongalia County Ballpark, West Virginia finished 27-27 overall, highlighted by series wins at Clemson, at Kansas State, at Oklahoma State and vs. Texas Tech.

Two Mountaineers were selected in the MLB Draft. Junior Blake Smith was picked in the 24th round by Washington, and senior Taylor Munden was picked by Miami in the 27th round.

Twelve of the 21 home games featured crowds of 1,000 or more, including a Hawley Field record of 2,535 fans on April 30 against Pitt.

Offensively, the Mountaineers continued their annual prowess, batting .275 as a team and smacking 32 home runs. McBroom hit a Big 12-leading 12 home runs, and left fielder Jacob Rice earned the WVU batting title with a .333 average.

The pitching staff posted its lowest earnedrun average (3.88) since 1978, lowest opponent batting average (.256) since 1993 and the least earned runs allowed (226) since 2001. Musgrave became the first WVU pitcher to earn All-America honors since 1997, completing the year with a 9-1 record, posting a 2.17 ERA and tossing three complete games. In 95.1 innings of work, Musgrave struck out 81 batters and allowed just 65 hits. Musgrave also earned Big 12 Pitcher of the Year honors after earning Big 12 Pitcher of the Week four times and National Pitcher of the Week three times.

Previously obsolete, the run game changed drastically to help WVU offensively and defensively. Mountaineer runners finished with 68 stolen bases, the most since 1998, while opponents only were successful 31 times. The pitchers also controlled the run game, picking off a school-record and NCAA-best 27 runners.

Following the season, McBroom, Musgrave, right-hander pitcher Sean Carley and third baseman Ryan Tuntland were selected in the MLB Draft. It was only the fifth time in school history that four or more players were drafted. A total of nine players earned All-Big 12 honors, while three players were named to the All-Big 12 Academic Team.

2007 TCU (2007-12) ASSISTANT COACH

2003 EAST CAROLINA (2003-05) HEAD COACH

2013 WEST VIRGINIA (2013-present) HEAD COACH

Prior to West Virginia

Previously the head coach at East Carolina (2004-06) and Charleston Southern (1994-96), Mazey spent six seasons as an assistant at TCU (2007-12), including the final three seasons as associate head coach. With Mazey on staff, the Horned Frogs compiled a record of 269-106 and won at least 40 games each season.

The Horned Frogs made six NCAA Regional appearances, played in three NCAA Super Regionals and made one trip to the College World Series during Mazey’s time at TCU, as well as winning six regular season and three Mountain West Conference tournament titles. Additionally, 18 pitchers were drafted in Mazey’s six seasons and five pitchers earned All-America honors.

After winning a share of the 2012 Mountain West Conference regular-season title, the Horned Frogs earned a No. 2 seed in the NCAA College Station Regional. TCU advanced to its fourth regional championship game in program history with a 5-2 win over Ole Miss; the Frogs previously advanced in 2007, 2009 and 2010. The decisive victory was the first time in school history TCU won a regional on the road. Additionally, it was the first time the Frogs won four games in a regional.

In 2012, Mazey guided freshman righthanded pitcher Preston Morrison to the Mountain West Freshman of the Year and Pitcher of the Year awards. He was the firstever athlete in the conference’s history to earn both honors in one season, and he also earned a spot on the All-Mountain West First Team. Sophomore right-handed pitcher Andrew Mitchell also was named to the first team, while junior right-handed relief pitcher Kevin Allen scored a spot on the second team.

As a staff, TCU owned a 3.35 earned run average and held opponents to a .243 batting average. The Frogs earned seven shutouts, while two of Mazey’s pitchers won nine games each. In 2011, the Horned Frogs posted a 3.20 ERA, the lowest mark in program history since 1970, and finished with 477 strikeouts, the fifth-best program mark.

Mazey guided Matt Purke, who was distinguished as the 2010 consensus National Freshman Pitcher of the Year by several publications, to Baseball America’s Freshman of the Year award. That season’s staff produced two All-Americans and four pitchers earned all-conference honors.

The Horned Frogs posted a league-best 484 strikeouts in Mazey’s first season, while four pitchers earned all-conference honors. No fewer than two pitchers earned All-Mountain West honors in the subsequent two seasons.

In three seasons at ECU, Mazey put together a 120-66-1 (.644) record, including a schoolrecord 51-13 (.797) mark in his second season in 2004. ECU earned three trips to the NCAA Regionals under his watch.

Prior to a 35-26 campaign in 2005 and a third trip to the NCAA Regionals, Mazey had arguably his most successful season as a head coach, leading the Pirates to a Conference USA regular-season championship with a 25-5 league mark and an NCAA Super Regional appearance. ECU finished the year ranked as high as No. 8 in Baseball America’s poll, and Mazey was named the C-USA Keith LeClair

Coach of the Year. Additionally, he was named the East Region Coach of Year by the American Baseball Coaches Association.

Mazey earned his first head coaching opportunity at Charleston Southern, accepting the position at the age of 27 in 1994. After going 36-60 in his first two seasons, he led a CSU team, picked to finish last in the 1996 preseason coaches’ poll, to an NCAA Regional appearance, the Buccaneers first-ever bid, and a 30-24-1 mark, the team’s first winning season since 1988 and its second 30-win season in school history. Named the Big South Coach of the Year, Mazey directed CSU to the Big South Championship. Following that season, Mazey became the recruiting coordinator and pitching coach at Georgia in 1997, where his staff produced its lowest ERA in four years and set a strikeout record.

Mazey then spent the 1998 season at ECU as an assistant and served as the program’s recruiting coordinator. During his first tenure with the Pirates, the team posted the thirdhighest strikeout total in school history.

Mazey spent four seasons as the recruiting coordinator and pitching coach at Tennessee. His staffs posted two of the top four strikeout totals in school history, and he produced six Volunteer pitchers who signed professionally, including one first-round draft pick. In 2000, Tennessee had the second-best ERA in the Southeastern Conference. The Vols advanced to the College World Series in 2001 and tied for third place.

Mazey began his coaching career as an assistant coach at Clemson, his alma mater, in 1990. During his four-year stint (1990-93), the Tigers recorded a 198-67 mark, won two Atlantic Coast Conference titles, made four straight NCAA Regional appearances and advanced to the College World Series in 1991.

Player Development

Mazey has had a wealth of success developing professional-caliber players, a tradition that has continued in record numbers at West Virginia. In all, 116 of Mazey’s players has received the call on draft day from a Major League club.

That number includes 35 MLB draft selections in Mazey’s first 10 seasons at WVU,

including three in 2022. Additionally, at least two West Virginia players were drafted every year from 2013-19.

Numerous players have had plenty of Major League success after playing for Mazey. The list includes Cy Young Award winner Jake Arrieta and infielder Matt Carpenter. In 2018, a pair of Mountaineers coached by Mazey made their big-league debuts, as Harrison Musgrave spent the majority of the year with the Colorado Rockies, and John Means earned a September call-up with the Baltimore Orioles. Means later became WVU’s first-ever MLB All-Star and finished second in AL Rookie of the Year voting in 2019. The duo are the first players coached by Mazey at West Virginia to appear in the majors.

Since then, Ryan McBroom reached the Show with the Kansas City Royals in 2019, while Alek Manoah burst onto the scene with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2021, and was a finalist for the American League Cy Young Award in 2022. Most recently, Grove made his MLB debut with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2022.

Playing Career

A three-time All-ACC selection as an outfielder/pitcher during his playing career (1985-88) at Clemson, Mazey won two ACC titles with the Tigers and advanced to two NCAA Regionals. He finished with a career batting average of .331 and was 8-1 on the mound.

Mazey was drafted in the 28th round of the 1988 draft by Cleveland and played two seasons in that organization’s minor league system before returning to Clemson as an assistant coach.

Prior to his Clemson days, Mazey had a standout prep career at United High in Johnstown, where he was an 11th-round pick in the amateur draft by the Baltimore Orioles.

Personal

A native of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, Mazey earned a Bachelor of Science degree in administrative management from Clemson in 1988 and an MBA from Clemson in 1993. Mazey and his wife, Amanda, have a son, Weston Aydan, and a daughter, Sierra Maranda.

Steve Sabins enters his eighth season as an assistant coach with the West Virginia baseball team in 2023, including his second as the associate head coach. Sabins also has served as the program’s recruiting coordinator since 2018.

During Sabins’ tenure in Morgantown, the Mountaineers have produced record-setting numbers offensively, while also bringing in the highest-ranked recruiting classes in program history.

Additionally, two WVU newcomers, left-handed pitcher Jake Carr and infielder/catcher Matt McCormick, earned Freshman All-America honors from Collegiate Baseball Newspaper. It marked the first time two Mountaineers received the honor in the same season since Sabins’ first season in Morgantown in 2016.

Prior to the team’s shortened campaign last spring, the 2019 season was certainly one to remember for Sabins and the Mountaineers. The team finished 38-22, marking the second-most wins in program history. West Virginia also reached the Big 12 Championship Final for the second time in four seasons. Following the conference tournament, WVU was selected to host an NCAA Regional for the first time since 1955. It marked WVU’s second NCAA Tournament appearance in the last four years.

West Virginia was ranked for the last eight weeks of the season in 2019, a program record, and it finished as high as No. 19 in the final NCBWA poll.

After going 36-26 and finishing fourth in the highly competitive Big 12 Conference, the Mountaineers earned an NCAA Tournament berth for the first time since 1996 and the 12th time in program history.

Sophomore designated hitter/right-handed pitcher Braden Zarbnisky headlined a long list of national and conference postseason honors in 2017.

The Mountaineers finished 33-22 in 2022, highlighted by a 14-10 mark in Big 12 play, the most league wins since joining the conference in 2013. WVU was an impressive 15-6 in games following a loss and were one of just five Power 5 programs to avoid a three-game losing streak.

Right-handed pitcher Trey Braithwaite earned All-America accolades by the NCBWA after his successful season out of the bullpen, and he was one of two WVU players named to the All-Big 12 First Team, joining outfielder Austin Davis. In all, a total of eight players were included on all-conference teams.

West Virginia also saw three players be selected in the MLB Draft, as right-handed pitcher Jacob Watters was a fourth-round pick by the Oakland Athletics, while outfielder Victor Scott II went in the fifth round to the St. Louis Cardinals. Braithwaite also heard his name called by the Cincinnati Reds in the 16th round.

In 2021, Garcia was part of a Mountaineer staff that helped left-handed pitcher Ben Hampton earn Freshman All-America honors by Perfect Game. A total of four players were recognized on All-Big 12 teams, as left-handed pitcher Jackson Wolf was named an All-Big 12 Second Team selection, while catcher Paul McIntosh and Davis earned honorable mention status. Additionally, Hampton and infielder Mikey Kluska were selected to the Big 12 AllFreshman Team.

WVU won multiple games at the Big 12 Championship for the sixth time in the last eight tournaments in 2021. The club also finished the year with five wins over ranked opponents.

Following the campaign, four West Virginia pitchers were taken in the 2021 MLB Draft. Wolf was a fourth-round pick to the San Diego Padres, while right-hander Ryan Bergert followed as a sixth-round selection by San Diego. Meanwhile, right-hander Madison Jeffrey (15th round) and left-hander Adam Tulloch (17th round) were taken by the Los Angeles Dodgers.

In his first season with the squad in 2020, the Mountaineers finished 11-5 in a COVID-19shortened campaign, good for the program’s best 16-game start since 2009. A pair of newcomers – left-handed pitcher Jake Carr and infielder/catcher Matt McCormick – were named Freshman All-Americans by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper.

Garcia arrived in Morgantown following a one-year stint as the graduate assistant at Washington. With the Huskies, he compiled and created scouting reports, was active in on-campus recruiting, charted in-game statistics and served as the bullpen coach.

A native of Albuquerque, New Mexico, Garcia was a standout catcher at Northern Colorado, where he was a four-year letterman and threetime member of the Academic All-WAC team. He was named a team captain four times during his collegiate career, and he helped the Bears to their first-ever WAC Tournament appearance.

While at UNC, Garcia also interned for the strength and conditioning department and was active with baseball camps sponsored by the university.

Garcia earned his bachelor’s degree in sports and exercise science and a master’s in sport administration from Northern Colorado.

2023 SEASON PREVIEW

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – With a good mix of returners and newcomers, Mountaineer baseball is back as the team looks to make a run at a Big 12 Championship.

Led again by coach Randy Mazey in his 11th season, the squad is eager to make a return to the NCAA Tournament after just missing out in 2022. Returning a couple of All-Big 12 performers along with other veteran players and an influx of new Mountaineers, WVU kicks of its 128th season in February.

“It’s going to be a little different this year,” said Mazey. “You have to coach the team you have. I think we’ll hit more home runs this year and probably won’t steal as many bases just based on who is no longer here, but we’ve still got guys that can run. You don’t want to make an out on the basepaths if the guy at the plate can hit it out of the park, but if you’re pitching against the Mountaineers, you always must have in the back of your mind that the runner is capable of stealing.”

“The outlook early on this season is that we are going to have a pretty deep staff,” continued Mazey. “It’s been super competitive with guys going up against one another. I really feel good about 10 or 12 guys on this staff which is pretty rare.”

Aggressive baserunning and timely hitting have been key to the Mountaineers’ success in recent years, as has strong pitching on the mound. All of those will be key again for WVU to compete against some of the nation’s best that appear on the 2023 slate.

To help get ready for the new campaign, here are 23 notes about the ‘23 Mountaineers:

West Virginia begins its 128th season of baseball on Feb. 17 on the road against Georgia Southern in Statesboro, Georgia.

Randy Mazey begins his 11th season at the helm in Morgantown. The veteran skipper is 296-230 with the Mountaineers and owns 480 career wins as a head coach.

Mazey has led West Virginia to a .500-or-better record in nine of his 10 seasons on campus.

The Mountaineers’ 55-game schedule features 12 opponents that reached the 2022 NCAA Tournament.

Of those 12 opponents that reached the 2022 NCAA Tournament, four of them hosted regionals – Georgia Southern, Maryland, Texas, and Oklahoma State

2023 will be the ninth season the Mountaineers play at Wagener Field at Monongolia County Ballpark. The Field was named after Rick and Jay Wagener on Aug. 30, 2021, following a major gift donation to the program. Rick Wagener was a standout pitcher at WVU from 1968-71.

WVU is set to play 24 home games this spring. The squad has never had a losing record in the facility’s eight-year history and is coming off its best season at The Mon as the Mountaineers went 17-6 in Morgantown.

WVU returns 16 lettermen from last season’s squad, including five everyday starters.

Redshirt-senior Noah Short, junior Ben Hampton, and sophomore JJ Wetherholt each received All-Big 12 Honorable Mention status. Wetherholt and Chris Sleeper also earned spots on the All-Big 12 Freshman Team

Two key players the Mountaineers will have to replace are pitcher Trey Braithwaite and outfielder Austin Davis who each earned spots on the All-Big 12 First Team. Braithwaite was also named to the NCBWA All-America Third Team.

Redshirt-senior Dayne Leonard led WVU in 2022 with a .331 average while Grant Hussey returns to the lineup after leading the Mountaineers with 11 home runs as a freshman.

West Virginia welcomes 20 newcomers to the mix this season made up of 15 true freshmen and five transfers.

Pitchers Grant Siegel (Tulane) and Keegan Allen (Oklahoma) both transfer in as sophomores. Siegel went 7-1 with a 3.02 ERA and 53 strikeouts with the Green Wave as a freshman while Allen logged 7.0 innings on the mound as the Sooners finished National RunnerUp.

Outfielder Landon Wallace comes to Morgantown after playing two years at Nevada where he hit .331 in 78 games for the Wolfpack.

Infielder Caleb McNeely comes to WVU after hitting .376 with 49 home runs in three seasons at Walters State and was named the TCCAA Player of the Year in 2022

Pitcher Blaine Traxel is the most-experienced transfer, having played four years at Cal State Northridge where he had a 3.43 ERA with 214 strikeouts in 270.1 innings pitched. He was also named All-Big West each of the past two seasons.

WVU’s 38-man roster consists of 17 freshmen, 10 sophomores, four juniors, two seniors and five fifth-year seniors.

The Mountaineers’ group of newcomers was ranked as the No. 25 signing class in the nation by Perfect Game, marking WVU’s sixth consecutive top-35 class to arrive in Morgantown.

Prior to the year, multiple Mountaineers were named as some of the best at their positions by D1Baseabll – Dayne Leonard (No. 20 catcher), JJ Wetherholt (No. 34 second baseman), Ben Hampton (No. 81 starting pitcher), Aidan Major (No. 144 starting pitcher), and Carlson Reed (No. 148 starting pitcher)

Although West Virginia was picked to finished sixth in the Preseason Big 12 poll, the Mountaineers have finished higher than their preseason ranking in six of nine seasons in Big 12 play.

The Mountaineers will be represented by 15 states and one Canadian province this season. A team-leading nine players hail from Pennsylvania.

This year’s team also features four players from the Mountain State: sophomore first baseman Grant Hussey (Parkersburg), redshirt-senior right-hander Noah Short (Scott Depot), senior Jake Carr (St. Albans), and freshman infielder Michael McKinney (Sophia)

Redshirt senior infielder Tevin Tucker returns to the Mountaineers for his fifth season. Tucker is the lone Mountaineer starter remaining off the 2019 NCAA Regional squad.

BROADCAST INFORMATION

The 2023 West Virginia baseball season will feature 23 home games and eight road games broadcast on Big 12 Now on ESPN+. In total, ESPN+ will carry 41 West Virginia baseball broadcasts this season, home and away, as well as a nationally broadcast game on ESPNU.

Big 12 Now on ESPN+ is accessible to subscribers through the ESPN+ tab of the latest version of the ESPN app, on the web, iPhone, iPad, AppleTV (Generation 3 & 4), Android Handset, Roku, Chromecast, FireTV, Xbox, Playstation, Oculus Go and Samsung connected TVs (Tizen).  ESPN+ is available for $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year or can be bundled with Disney+ and Hulu for $12.99 per month.  Cancel anytime.

The highlight of the 2023 broadcast schedule comes on Sunday, April 9, when the Mountaineers will take on Kansas on ESPNU.

Additional road games throughout the season will be available on other streaming platforms such as B1G Network+, Pac-12 Insider, and The Longhorn Network.

Beginning on March 21 against Hofstra, West Virginia baseball can be heard across the Mountaineer Sports Network on 22 affiliate radio stations as well as via free audio streaming through the Varsity Sports Network app, the WVU Gameday app, and at wvusports.com.

A listing of WVU baseball affiliates can be found at wvusports.com under the Watch/Listen tab and Radio Affiliates. Andrew Caridi will handle the play-by-play duties on radio for his first full season with the Mountaineers where he will be joined by former WVU assistant coach Jake Weghorst.

ANDREW CARIDI PLAY-BY-PLAY

Andrew Caridi was named director of broadcasting and voice for baseball and women’s basketball in August 2022.

Caridi is an award-winning West Virginia University alumnus with a recognized connection to Mountaineer athletics behind the mic. He has been calling West Virginia game action for Big 12 Now on ESPN+ the last two years, handling play-by-play for basketball, men’s and women’s soccer, volleyball and baseball. Caridi also served as a fill-in play-by-play voice for women’s basketball. In 2019 and 2020, he was honored as West Virginia Broadcaster’s Association best play-by-play, and the Sportscasters Talent Agency of America named Caridi to the elite list of collegiate broadcasters nominated for a Jim Nantz Award.

In addition to his play-by-play duties, Caridi will host the Mountaineer football pregame and postgame radio shows throughout the season.

Cardi’s affinity with West Virginia has extended to WVU Esports as well. He was host and commentator for numerous esports events by LEARFIELD’s LevelNext in 2021, including WVU Esports Collegiate Rocket League Qualifiers, LevelNext FIFA22 College National Championship and various sponsored tournaments featuring Rocket League, FIFA and NBA2K.

Caridi previously served as the radio voice of Shepherd University football and basketball with WVRC Media until March 2020.

JAKE WEGHORST ANALYST

Former Baylor pitcher and West Virginia assistant coach enters his first season as the analyst for the WVU baseball team.

A Lorena, Texas native, Weghorst pitched two seasons for Baylor after two years at Angelina College and had a 3.00 ERA with 60.0 career innings with the Bears.

After his playing days were over, he stayed involved with baseball, serving as the volunteer assistant coach at UT Martin in 2009. After one year with the Skyhawks, he came to Morgantown to serve as the volunteer assistant coach with the Mountaineers before being elevated to full-time assistant for the 2011 and 2012 seasons.

After his two years with WVU, he served as an assistant coach at Fairmont State in 2013. Weghorst also served as the head coach of the Front Royal Cardinals, a collegiate summer baseball team in the Valley Baseball League.

Galusky owns a bachelor’s degree in Health, Human, Human Performance and Recreation from Baylor.

2022 SEASON REVIEW

West Virginia finished 33-22 overall, including 14-10 in Big 12 action, during coach Randy Mazey’s 10th season at the helm.

The 14 conference wins were the most in the program’s Big 12 era.

WVU has now won 30 or more games in five of Mazey’s nine full seasons in charge.

Mazey coached in his 500th game at WVU on April 9, against Baylor.

WVU swept two Big 12 series (Baylor, Kansas State) for the first time in one season in program history.

The Mountaineers were the only squad in the Big 12 without a three-game losing streak. In all, West Virginia finished 15-6 following a loss.

West Virginia appeared in the national polls twice during the year, reaching as high as No. 24 by Collegiate Baseball.

WVU finished 17-6 at home in 2022. The club has never had a losing home record in the history of Wagener Field at Monongalia County Ballpark, which opened in 2015.

West Virginia finished No. 2 nationally in stolen bases, with 156, which was good for the most in single-season program history.

Individually, junior outfielder Victor Scott II swiped 38 bases, good for No. 1 in single-season Mountaineer history.

Fifth-year senior right-handed pitcher Trey Braithwaite was named an All-America Third Team selection by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA), becoming the 24th AllAmerican in program history.

Eight Mountaineers earned a spot on one of the All-Big 12 Teams, led by first-team honorees Braithwaite and senior outfielder Austin Davis.

Additionally, sophomore catcher McGwire Holbrook earned second-team honors, while redshirt junior right-handed pitcher Noah Short, junior right-hander Jacob Watters, sophomore lefthander Ben Hampton and freshman infielder JJ Wetherholt were Honorable Mention selections. Freshman right-hander Chris Sleeper joined Wetherholt on the All-Big 12 Freshman Team.

Sophomore outfielder Braden Barry and sophomore infielder Nathan Blasick earned CoSIDA Academic All-District honors, becoming the first WVU duo to be named to the team in the same year since 2003 (Lee Fritz & Zac Cline).

A program-record 15 Mountaineers were named to the Academic All-Big 12 Team. The squad’s 11 first-team honorees also were an all-time team high.

WAGENER FIELD AT MONONGALIA COUNTY BALLPARK

The West Virginia baseball team plays in one of the premier collegiate baseball venues in the country, Wagener Field at Monongalia County Ballpark. The 3,500-capacity ballpark features state-of-the-art fan and player amenities.

In what was touted as one of the best collaboration efforts seen in the state of West Virginia, Monongalia County Ballpark opened its doors in 2015. The $21-million ballpark is arguably the top facility in the region and the clubhouse amenities rivals those in Major League Baseball.

Monongalia County Ballpark has a synthetic surface to accommodate severe weather and heavy use and a clay pitchers mound. The dimensions are 325 feet down the left and right field lines, 375 feet to the power alleys and 400 to center field.

The venue features 2,500 permanent seatbacks and can be expanded to hold 3,500 fans with standing room areas. All seats are protected by netting that provides an unobstructed view for all fans.

The ballpark took on Rick and Jay Wagener’s namesake on Aug. 30, 2021, following a major gift donation to the program. Rick Wagener was a standout pitcher at WVU from 1968-71.

There are three different areas to enter the ballpark and two ticket booths, while the concourse features a team shop, two concession areas, public restrooms and a large party deck that supports numerous standalone vendors.

Along with a high-definition scoreboard and videoboard and a state-of-the-art lighting system, Monongalia County Ballpark is one of top collegiate baseball facility in the country.

Just beyond the right field fence serves as the everyday home for the Mountaineers, with clubhouse amenities rivaling those in Major League Baseball. The building features a player’s locker room with full-size lockers, coaches’ locker room and offices, player’s lounge, team theater, indoor and outdoor batting cages, a fullyequipped athletic training room and equipment room.

The press box features three luxury suites with high-end finishes and indoor/outdoor seating, a spacious television booth, three radio booths, a 20-seat press area, a video control room and numerous booths for game operations.

The Mountaineers opened Monongalia County Ballpark with a 6-5, 13-inning victory against Butler on April 10, 2015. WVU owns a 110-61 record in the venue entering the 2023 season.

WVU has experienced record-setting attendance numbers each year in the new ballpark, most notably during an exciting 2019 season. The support of Mountaineer Nation was certainly felt, as the total attendance and average attendance records both were broken, highlighted by a single-game record crowd of 4,355 on May 31, in WVU’s NCAA Regional opener against Fordham.

Monongalia County Ballpark was named the BaseballParks.com Ballpark of the Year for 2015. The annual award recognizes a new or remodeled stadium with the best combination of site selection, exterior appearance, architectural design and fan amenities.

E.GORDON GEE, J.D., ED.D

Dr. E. Gordon Gee is one of America’s most prominent higher education leaders, having helmed universities for more than three decades. In 2009, Time magazine named him one of the top 10 university presidents in the United States. Recently, the website Great Value Colleges named him the nation’s top university president.

In 2014, Gee returned to West Virginia University, where his career as a university president began. His leadership goals include putting students first, advancing the university’s research agenda, partnering with West Virginia communities and making sure that 1.8 million West Virginians know in their hearts and minds that West Virginia University is their university.

Born in Vernal, Utah, Gee graduated from the University of Utah with an honors degree in history and earned his J.D. and Ed.D. degrees from Columbia University. He clerked under Chief Justice David T. Lewis of the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals before being named a judicial fellow and staff assistant to the U.S. Supreme Court. In this role, he worked for Chief Justice Warren Burger on administrative and legal problems of the Court and federal judiciary. Gee returned to Utah as an associate professor and associate dean in the J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University and was granted full professorship in 1978.

One year later, he became dean of the West Virginia University College of Law, and, in 1980, was named West Virginia University president. He served in that role until 1985. He went on to lead the University of Colorado (1985-1990), Brown University (1998-2000) and Vanderbilt University (20012007). He served as president of The Ohio State University from 1990 to 1997 and again from 2007 to 2013.

Gee has been a member of several education-governance organizations and committees including the Big 12 Conference Council of Presidents, the Business-Higher Education Forum and the American Association of Universities. He was chair of the American Council on Education’s Commission on Higher Education Attainment and served as co-chair of the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities’ Energy Advisory Committee. In 2009, Gee was invited to join the International Advisory Board of King Adbulaziz University in Saudi Arabia, and he currently serves on the Board of the Royal University for Women in Bahrain.

Active in many national professional and service organizations during his tenures, he has served on the boards for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, Inc., Limited Brands and the National 4-H Council. In 2011, Gee was appointed to serve as secretary on the Board of Directors of Ohio’s economic development program, JobsOhio.

In 2011-2012, he was asked by Governor Kasich to chair the Ohio Higher Education Capital Funding Collaborative and the Ohio Higher Education Funding Commission. In March 2015, he was elected to the board of directors of the American Council on Education, the nation’s largest higher education organization. And he served as chair of the Big 12 Board of Directors Executive Committee for the 2017-18 year. Gee presently serves on the council of presidents for the Southern University Research Association and as a member of the Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration.

Gee has received many honorary degrees, awards, fellowships and recognitions. He is a fellow of the prestigious American Association for the Advancement of Science, the world’s largest science organization. In 1994, Gee received the Distinguished Alumnus Award from the University of Utah, as well as from Teachers College of Columbia University. In 2013, he received the ACE Council of Fellows/Fidelity Investments Mentor Award and received the Outstanding Academic Leader of the Year Award on behalf of Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Gee received the Elite Leadership Academy’s 2020 IMPACT Award, which honors exceptional leaders for self-knowledge, a clear vision and active coaching and mentoring relationships. A Distinguished Eagle Scout and lifelong Scouting supporter, he has received the Silver Buffalo Award, Scouting’s top honor for adult volunteers. He is the co-author of more than a dozen books, including his two most recent, “Land-Grant Universities for the Future” and “What’s Public About Public Higher Ed?”

Gee’s fiancée is Laurie Erickson, leader of the Erickson Foundation. Gee’s daughter, Rebekah, is clinical associate professor in obstetrics and gynecology at LSU Health New Orleans School of Medicine and CEO and Founder of Nest Health. Dr. Rebekah Gee is married to David Patrón and they have five children.

E.GORDON GEE AND FIANCÉE LAURIE ERICKSON

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS/ASSOCIATE VP

WREN BAKER

Wren Baker was named vice president and director of athletics at West Virginia University on Nov. 30, 2022.

WVU’s 13th director of athletics came to Morgantown from the University of North Texas, where he served as the vice president and athletics director since 2016. With previous stops at Missouri, Memphis, Northwest Missouri and Rogers State, Baker holds more than 20 years of experience in intercollegiate athletics.

“I am thrilled to welcome Wren Baker to the West Virginia University family as our new athletic director, and I have no doubt his personality and energy will connect with our student-athletes and coaches, as well as our campus community and alumni,” President E. Gordon Gee said.

At WVU, Baker has oversight of 18 varsity sports, a department budget of more than $90 million, approximately 250 employees and nearly 500 student-athletes.

“I am incredibly grateful to President Gee, Rob Alsop, the search committee and Board of Governors for the opportunity to serve as vice president and director of athletics at West Virginia University,” Baker said. “WVU boasts a powerful brand reputation and a storied academic and athletic history.”

At UNT, seven varsity programs (men’s cross country, volleyball, women’s soccer, football, men’s basketball, women’s golf and softball) combined to win 17 conference or division championships during Baker’s tenure, and the overall athletic department’s winning percentage in the last year was the best in the modern era. In 2019, every team achieved a winning season for the first time in school history. He led 18 head coaching searches, and his hires have a combined winning percentage of nearly 70%.

UNT student-athletes excelled in the classroom under Baker’s leadership, posting top APR scores and setting four consecutive department Graduation Success Rate records. Every team recorded a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher with the Spring 2022 department GPA hitting a 3.206 average.

Baker also led record fundraising years at North Texas. The school registered its four best fundraising years in its history, and the overall top five largest gifts at UNT came under Baker’s leadership. He guided North Texas athletics to a school record for fundraising in a single year, nearly doubling the previous department record.

Ticket revenue increased by 125% under Baker, and football attendance grew by 71%, while men’s and women’s basketball crowds grew by more than 60%.

MEDIA INFORMATION

MEDIA SERVICES

The West Virginia University athletics communications office will be available throughout the 2023 baseball season to accommodate any media requests. The following are some guidelines that should make it easy for media members to cover the Mountaineers. Any additional questions should be directed to Assistant Director of Athletics Communications Adam Grossman.

CREDENTIALS

Credentials for the 2022 baseball season can be picked up on game days at Gate A outside Monongalia County Ballpark starting two hours before the game. You may request a credential by emailing WVU baseball contact Adam Grossman at Adam Grossman at adam.grossman@mail.wvu. edu. Credentials can be requested up until 24 hours prior to the start of each home game.

PRESS ROOM

A limited amount of seating will be available in the press room at Monongalia County Ballpark. Masks are encouraged inside the press box. Due to press room capacity, only a limited number of media members will be credentialed. If space permits, only one media member per outlet will be credentialed.

PRESS ROOM SERVICES

Game notes will be available digitally at WVUsports.com. A limited supply of physical games notes will be distributed on game day.

Statistics – Stat sheets, lineups and play-by-play will not be passed out at games this season. As in the past, StatBroadcast live stats will be available online throughout the game. Final Stats – A copy of final statistics will be available for pick-up after the game at a designated location and also will be available online.

POSTGAME PRESS ROOM

Due to postgame cleaning protocols, the press room is available for two hours after the conclusion of the final postgame interview. Please make other working arrangements if the two-hour closing time is not sufficient for your needs. Please remember the closing time is not two hours after the conclusion of the game, rather two hours after the conclusion of interviews.

PHOTOGRAPHY/ VIDEOGRAPHY

In accordance with updated Big 12 policy, media photographers and videographers will be granted field-level access this season. Photographers and videographers will have the opportunity to work at the concourse level of the ballpark and/or fieldlevel camera wells with the understanding of a continued, committed effort to maintain social distancing.

INTERVIEWS

Postgame interviews will resume on the field for credentialed media following the conclusion of each home game this season, with an understanding of proper socialdistance practices. Coach Randy Mazey and selected players will be made available.

Any member of the media wishing to interview a player or a member of the coaching staff during the week should contact WVU baseball/assistant director of athletics communications Adam Grossman, via email (adam.grossman@mail.wvu.edu) or phone (304-293-2821), at least 24 hours in advance. Cell phone numbers will not be provided, and all WVU student-athletes have been instructed to not conduct interviews without prior approval from the athletics communications staff.
