SEASON OUTLOOK

Penguins Hope Pitching Can Carry Them in 2010

idway through the summer of 2008, Youngstown State head coach Rich Pasquale had an optimistic feeling about the upcoming 2009 campaign. He brought in a large influx of touted position players for his second year on campus to join with the solid core he had remaining. Before the start of fall ball, four pitchers – two talented JUCO transfers, a possible starter and a primary bullpen option – did not meet academic requirements, and another left y departed the program because of personal reasons. That left the Penguins with a very thin pitching staff, and a 6.62 ERA was a contributing factor to a 16-35 record. In a complete turnaround, pitching should actually be a strong suit in 2010 as seven new hurlers join all-league starters Aaron Swenson (2008) and Phil Klein (2009). Add in six returning position starters, all of whom batted higher than .275, and the Penguins and their third-year skipper have high hopes of returning to the top tier of the Horizon League in 2010. “I think this team has high expectations and a bad taste in its mouth from last year with the number of one-run losses (13) we had and the other close games that didn’t go our way,” Pasquale said. “Our 12 seniors realize that this is their last year, and they want to bring back a conference title to Youngstown. It’s going to take running everything out, backing each other up, defense, solid pitching and being able to execute offensively. More importantly, we just need to be together, have fun and stick to our goals.” Klein was arguably the most-improved player in the Horizon League last season and became a major bright spot for the Penguins’ future. The 6-foot-7 right-hander went 5-1 with a 4.19 ERA during the regular season before a rough outing in the Horizon League Tournament upped his ERA to 4.62. He was dominant against conference foes during the regular season, turning in a 4-0 record to go along with his 3.83 ERA and 61 strikeouts in 56.1 innings. With his frame and 9.5 strikeout rate per nine innings, Klein has developed into a professional prospect entering his junior year. That said, Klein may not even be YSU’s No. 1 when the 2010 season commences because of Swenson. Swenson was the Horizon League Pitcher of the Year as a sophomore before a lingering back injury resulted in a disappointing 2009 campaign. He still threw 90 innings and struck out a careerhigh 70 batters, but his injured back contributed to leaving pitches up, and his batt ing average against rose from .258 to .325. In 2008, Swenson was 6-3 with five complete-game wins and a 3.55 ERA . Th is past summer, he went 5-2 with a 2.20 ERA and 63 strikeouts in 65.1 innings in the Valley League. He ranked second in the league in strikeouts and third in ERA , and he was chosen as the league’s starting pitcher in the Mid-Atlantic Summer Classic.

“We think that we have a chance to win each game [Klein and Swenson] are on the mound, and that’s a great feeling,” Pasquale said. “It certainly sets up prett y good if Aaron can give us a good outing in game one because Phil can go out and help us win the series right there in game two. If something happens in game one, we feel good that Phil can go out and get us to even.” Junior left-hander Cody Dearth returns as the preseason favorite for the fi nal weekend spot in the rotation after going 2-5 with a 4.96 ERA in 13 appearances, 10 of which were starts. He’ll get competition from seniors Alex Oles and Corey Vukovic and freshmen Blake Aquadro and Bill Turosky for the fi nal spot. Oles signed with Pitt sburgh out of high school prior to 2006, but Tommy John surgery and transfer issues have limited him to one collegiate game. Vukovic is a breaking ball pitcher who has started 16 times in his career. The bullpen will be anchored by arguably YSU’s most valuable player, Eric Marzec. The senior can hit the mid 90s with his fastball and the mid-toupper 80s with his slider, and he will anchor the middle of the batt ing order as a starting outfielder. He missed a month with a wrist injury to his glove hand last year, but he still managed to drive in 27 runs and hit six home runs. On the mound, Marzec had a batt ing average against of .242, and he struck out 20 batters compared to six walks. He earned Second-Team All-Horizon League honors as a utility player for the second time in 2009, and Baseball America recognized him as the Horizon League’s top prospect for 2010. “Eric brings a fi re to the park and hard-nosed play,” Pasquale said. “His bat speed has increased, and he’s done a very good job of making himself better. When I fi rst met him, he was already a good player, but he’s continued to work and make himself a top player in this league and a pro prospect.” Also in the bullpen, senior Anthony Munoz gained valuable experience in his fi rst year on the mound last season by throwing in 27 games, and senior Trent Wood pitched in 21. The relieving corps will also get a lift from the group who loses the battle for the fi nal spot in the weekend rotation, along with sophomores Jim Kinnick and Ryan Messmer and freshmen Alex Frey, Kevin McCulloh and Erik Okleson. “With the depth we have on the mound, we’ll be able to have defi ned roles, which is something we weren’t able to do last year,” Pasquale said. “It won’t be a matter of piecing things together anymore. We’ll expect our weekday starters to go five or six innings, and we’ll have specialists in the bullpen.” Returning First-Team All-Horizon League shortstop Jacke Healey will compliment Marzec in the middle of the order. Healey, a senior, led YSU in homers (eight), runs (37), RBIs (36) and doubles (17) last season in his fi rst year of Division I baseball. He also had just 10 errors in 197 chances at

shortstop. Senior C.J. Morris was a full-time starter for the fi rst time in 2009, and he’ll likely see most of his time at second base this year instead of third. “Jacke brings power and some versatility in the field,” Pasquale said. “He brings a certain swagger to the ball park that he knows he’s a good player. He makes some fabulous plays, and he’s a hard worker. He and C.J. should be one of the best double-play combinations in the conference.” With Morris sliding to his natural position at second, freshmen Zac McFarland and Neil Schroth will batt le for the starting third base job. Padraic Williams is athletic and a solid fielder who could be used in late-game situations or step in to spell others. Jeremy Banks emerged late in 2009 to show flashes of a star-in-the-making at fi rst base. He batted .302 with four home runs and 30 RBIs, and he hit .439 with 18 RBIs over the fi nal 11 contests. Junior Greg Dissinger, who has power from the right side, could also see time at fi rst or at designated hitter. Senior Anthony Porter headlines a deep and talented group at catcher. Porter has hit at least .316 in both of his seasons at YSU, and he upped his home run total to four last season. Porter also has one of the league’s best arms behind the plate. Sophomore Jonathan Crist is a stalwart defender who hit .278 last season, and senior Casey Holland batted .243 in 43 games mainly at catcher and designated hitter. With Marzec the likely starter in right, sophomore Derek Carr will enter the spring as the probable starter in center. Carr batted .250 in 39 games last season, and his team-best .469 average with runners in scoring position helped him knock in 16 runs. Junior Joe Iacobucci batted .287 last season and .369 as a freshman, and he will start in left or at designated hitter. Junior walk-on Armani Johnson had a strong enough fall to enter into the competition to start in left , and senior Eric Hymel will compete for a spot after playing in 42 games last year. Senior Tom Clayton has also put together a solid off season and could return to the success he had as a freshman when he hit .308 with 20 doubles. “Derek Carr will be a bona fide leadoff guy, and the addition of Armani Johnson’s speed in the outfield and at the top of the line-up will give us a different look,” Pasquale said. “There’s competition throughout the line-up, and our depth will allow us to have a lot of options in late-game situations. It will all come down to who is going to hit. We have options both on the mound and at the plate.” The Penguins open the season with 20 consecutive games on the road, but they’ll play 20 out of their next 23 at home. The Guins close out the regular season with 13 straight contests on the road. The top six teams qualify for the Horizon League Tournament, which will take place May 26-30 at the U.S. Steel Yard in Gary, Ind.

Q & A WITH COACH PASQUALE

rich PASQUALE

Head Coach Th ird Season Francis Marion (1991) When Rich Pasquale took over as Youngstown State’s head baseball coach in October 2007, he brought a great sense of energy and an unmatched passion for the game. Pasquale came to YSU with three primary goals: att ract the best players from the Youngstown area, annually fi nish toward the top of the Horizon League and become a nationallyrespected program. Now entering his third season, Pasquale has helped the Penguins’ program make significant progress toward reaching those goals. The improvement was obvious to his coaching peers in just his fi rst year as Pasquale was voted the Horizon League Co-Coach of the Year in 2008. That season Pasquale led YSU to a third-place fi nish in the Horizon League standings, a fourwin improvement in league games and a winning percentage increase of .199 in conference contests. YSU defeated six teams that fi nished with at least 30 wins - Cincinnati (39), Kent State (36), West Virginia (35), UIC (35), Bowling Green (32) and Wright State (30), and it dropped one-run contests to Georgia Tech and Penn State. Pasquale also helped the Penguins collect an impressive list of individual accomplishments. Aaron Swenson was named

the Horizon League Pitcher of the Year as a sophomore after going 6-3 and leading the league in strikeouts and innings pitched. Joe Iacobucci, Eric Marzec and Sean Lucas earned second-team all-league honors, and Iacobucci was recognized nationally as an honorable mention pick on the All-Ping! Freshman team. Lucas set career-highs in every offensive category and batted 36 points better than he did as a junior. Marzec batted an outstanding 84 points higher than he did in 2007. Josh Page was named First-Team Academic All-District after being a second-team selection the previous two years. As a squad, six starters hit better than .300 and the pitching staff lowered its ERA by 0.63 from the previous season. The 2009 season saw an influx of talent from four junior college stars and seven high school standouts. JUCO transfer Jacke Healey made an immediate impact in the Horizon League, earning fi rst-team all-conference honors at shortstop. Jeremy Banks also had a very productive fi rst season by hitt ing .302 with four home runs and 30 RBIs. Sophomore pitcher Phil Klein joined Healey on the Horizon League First Team after having a breakout season. Klein went 5-2 with a 4.62 ERA and 80 strikeouts in 76 innings as he developed into a premier power pitcher in the conference. Marzec was named second-team all-conference for the second straight season at utility, and David Leon earned second-team honors at second base. Eight starters hit at least .280, and John Koehnlein fi nished third in the Horizon League with a .385 batt ing average. The program has also seen a big improvement off the field under Pasquale. A new baseball locker room and lounge area was opened in 2009. Th ree new sets of uniforms and a vast selection of apparel have been ordered since Pasquale’s arrival, and the coach has helped increase community connections and relations. Pasquale has also been integral in developing plans for the Watson and Tressel Training Site, an indoor facility that will allow the baseball team and other Penguins squads to practice year round.

THE BUZZ ON

COACH PASQUALE “I think Rich truly cares about his players, both on and off the field. He has a genuine passion and respect for the people in the game and how it should be played.” ~ Terry Francona Boston Red Sox Manager “Coach Pasquale is a qualit y individual with enthusiasm for the game of baseball. His willingness to spend extra time on the details of the game helped me excel during my career at the University of Pitt sburgh.” ~ Brad Rea Pitt sburgh Pirates Free Agent Signee “In my eyes, Coach Pasquale is a fi rst class gentleman both on and off the field. His blue-collar work ethic along with his commitment to his players and staff made it a pleasure to play for him. He was always available when needed and still is available for me today.” ~ Brant Colamarino 7th Round Selection Oakland A’s, 2002 “Rich Pasquale is one of the up-andcoming promising new coaches in Division I baseball. His insight for fi nding and developing talent at the college level is fi nally being recognized nationally. He brings fresh ideas and a renewed sense of energy to whatever program he is in charge of. Youngstown State’s baseball program will be better with him at the helm.” ~ Bobby Mayer, Cleveland Indians Area Scout Supervisor “Rich Pasquale is a good, young, energetic coach who players will love playing for. YSU made an excellent choice, and I see great things happening with the YSU baseball program with Rich at the helm.” ~ Ed Santa, Colorado Rockies Area Scout Supervisor

COACHING STAFF Pasquale, the seventh coach in YSU history, came to Penguin Country after spending a season as the top assistant coach at Division II Slippery Rock. Prior to that he led a drastic turnaround at Division III La Roche College in Pitt sburgh, Pa., and he was an assistant for three seasons at the University of Pitt sburgh. At Slippery Rock, Pasquale helped veteran head coach Jeff Messer lead The Rock to a 35-17 record. A coach recognized for his hitt ing and fielding instruction, Pasquale helped SRU to a .322 batt ing average. Four players hit over .360, including Third-Team All-America selection Matt Adams and Honorable Mention All-America pick M.J. Parsons. At La Roche, Pasquale led a complete rebirth for a Redhawks team that had won just 24 games in the five years prior to his arrival. In four years (2003-06) he led the program to 84 wins and three straight berths in the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference playoffs. He was named the AMCC Coach of the Year in his second season, and his teams set school records for conference wins and overall wins. Pasquale also served as the sports information director and a physical education instructor at La Roche. During his fi rst year at Pitt sburgh in 2000, the Panthers went 31-24 and had two players drafted in the fi rst 20 rounds. In his fi nal year in 2002, two more players were drafted in the fi rst 16 rounds, and the Panthers fi nished with a record of 36-16-1 and won what was then a school-record 14 Big East games. Pasquale got his coaching start at Penn State Beaver in 1995 and stayed there until 1999. As an infield and hitt ing coach, PSU Beaver appeared in the NJCAA Division III World Series in 1997 and 1999, and the team was the Region 20 Champions four times in his five years. Pasquale served as the acting athletic director, director of intramural and recreation sports and facilities coordinator at PSU Beaver. Pasquale has also worked camps as an infield and hitt ing instructor at Clemson and Slippery Rock. Pasquale has vast experience as an administrator. He was an Assistant to the Athletic Director and Compliance Officer at Slippery Rock, and he was the Facilities Manager of Jack Critchfield Park for the Slippery Rock Sliders of the Frontier League. Pasquale has also served as a scout for the Cleveland Indians since November 2005. After playing at PSU Beaver for two seasons, Pasquale had a heralded playing career at Francis Marion University in Florence, S.C. As a senior he batted .322 with 52 runs scored in 47 games to earn NAIA Honorable Mention All-America honors. He was also a unanimous selection to the NAIA AllDistrict and an All-Area honoree covering seven states as a senior. Pasquale earned a Bachelor of Science degree in sociology from Francis Marion in 1991 and his master’s in health and physical education from Madison University in 2006. Pasquale and his wife, Mindy, have three children – 9-year-old Dominic, 7-year-old Maura and 3-year-old Kara. He is the nephew of former Cleveland Indians fi rst baseman Tito Francona and cousin of Boston Red Sox manager Terry Francona.

tom LIPARI

Assistant Coach Second Season New Orleans (2007) For mer professiona l pitcher and Michigan State assistant Tom Lipari is entering his second season as Youngstown State’s top assistant coach. He oversees development of the Penguins’ pitching staff and serves as the recruiting coordinator. He’s been very successful in both realms in his short stint on campus. Lipari helped develop Phil Klein into a premier power pitcher in the Horizon League as the righthander was arguably the conference’s most-improved player. Klein went 5-2 with a 4.62 ER A with 80 strikeouts in 76 innings in his sophomore campaign after going 1-1 with an 11.09 ERA as a freshman. He was even better in Horizon League games in 2009, going 4-0 with a 3.83 ERA and 61 strikeouts in 56.1 innings. Klein’s 9.5 strikeouts per nine innings led all league starters. Lipari also groomed two young pitchers into bullpen staples by the end of the season. Freshman Jim Kinnick did not allow an earned run in his fi nal 9.1 innings to close out the regular season. Junior Anthony Munoz, in his fi rst season on the mound as a converted

shortstop, was not scored upon in any of his last seven appearances that spanned 7.2 innings. Lipari’s work has not gone unnoticed in the professional ranks. Major League Baseball scouts have said as many as four YSU pitchers could be drafted following the 2010 season. Eight pitchers under Lipari’s tutelage have gone on to play professionally. On the recruiting trail, Lipari has helped reshape the Penguins’ roster. Twenty-two of YSU’s 33 players have come in on Lipari’s watch. Lipari also helped head coach Rich Pasquale sign a promising group of seven players to the 2011 squad. Before coming to YSU, Lipari was a volunteer assistant at Michigan State during the 2008 season. For the Spartans, he was charged with handling the dayto-day development of the pitching staff both on and off the field. He also served as the camp coordinator. Under Lipari’s leadership, Spartans junior Chris Cullen was recognized as a Th ird-Team All-Big Ten selection after ranking sixth in the conference with a 3.95 ERA .

HORIZON LEAGUE

“Raise Your Sights” Aspiring to teach young people, through athletic competition, the value of learning, service to others and personal responsibility Entering its 31st season of operation in the 200910 academic year, the Horizon League continues to aspire toward its goal of being one of the nation’s leading athletics conferences while being recognized as a leader in the development of student-athletes as leaders and role models. The Horizon League membership features ten public and private institutions that have impressive academic reputations and a storied tradition of broad-based athletic programs. Current membership includes Butler University, Cleveland State University, the University of Detroit Mercy, the University of Illinois at Chicago, Loyola University Chicago, Valparaiso University, the University of WisconsinGreen Bay, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Wright State University and Youngstown State University. The Horizon League’s primary focus is on adding value to the educational experience through its four platforms: athletic performance, academic achievement, community outreach, and personal responsibility and accountability. It is the League’s belief that athletics is a powerful and visible resource tool that can be used to enhance student-athletes’ collegiate experience. The Horizon League’s goals are to enhance the holistic university experience for the student-athlete, to create an affi liation of institutions with similar athletic goals, and to adhere to the principals of integrity, diversity, excellence and growth. The Horizon League sponsors competition in 19 sports – nine for men (baseball, basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, swimming and diving, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field and tennis) and ten for women (basketball, cross country, golf, soccer, softball, swimming and diving, indoor track and field, outdoor track and field, tennis and volleyball).

The League receives automatic bids to NCAA championships in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s tennis, women’s volleyball and for the fi rst time in League history, women’s golf. The Horizon League is headquartered in Indianapolis, the “Amateur Sports Capital of the World,” with offices in the Pan American Plaza (201 S. Capitol Avenue), located a block from Lucas Oil Stadium and just minutes from Conseco Fieldhouse, the State Capitol Building, Victory Field (home of the Indianapolis Indians) and the NCAA national office.

A PROUD HISTORY Founded on June 16, 1979, as the Midwestern City Conference with six charter members, the League changed its name to the Midwestern Collegiate Conference in 1985 and added women’s sports for the 1986-87 academic year. Charter members of the conference included current members Butler and Loyola as well as the University of Evansville, Oklahoma City University, Oral Roberts University and Xavier University. Among other current members, Detroit joined in 1980, and Cleveland State, UIC, Green Bay, Milwaukee and Wright State came aboard in 1994 (along with Northern Illinois University) in the largest nonmerger conference expansion in history. Youngstown State joining in 2001 and Valparaiso in 2007. On June 4, 2001, the Horizon League unveiled its current name and ushered in a new dynamic direction that has brought the League closer to its stated goal of being one of the nation’s top ten collegiate athletic conferences with a focus on enhancing the student-athletes’ experience by upgrading the League’s market and competitive positions.

ATHLETIC SUCCESS In the past few years, the Horizon League has enjoyed unprecedented success on the national stage, highlighted by three Sweet Sixteen appearances (Butler 2003, 2007; Milwaukee 2005) and nine wins in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship in the past seven seasons. In other sports, League teams have won at least one game in their respective NCAA Championships each of the last seven seasons in men’s soccer (Milwaukee 2002-05, UIC 2006-08), with UIC just one win away from the College Cup in 2007. In softball, League teams won a game in the national tournament four straight years earlier in the decade (UIC 2002, 2004; Wright State 2003; Green Bay 2005) while advancing into the second round in women’s soccer three of the last five seasons (Detroit 2004, Milwaukee 2005-06). Green Bay’s women’s basketball team added to that résumé with a victory in the 2007 NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship. Butler’s Victoria Mitchell became the League’s fi rst NCAA individual champion when she won the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the 2005 NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

EASTWOOD FIELD

Youngstown State enjoys playing its home games at one of the fi nest baseball facilities for a college program in the midwest in Eastwood Field. Located in Niles, Ohio, in the back of the Eastwood Mall Complex, Eastwood Field also serves as the home of the Mahoning Valley Scrappers of the New York-Penn League. A 6,300-seat open-air stadium, Eastwood Field was completed in 1999 and was originally named Cafaro Field in honor of the late Cafaro Company Founder, William Cafaro. With furnished locker rooms, sheltered batt ing cages, luxury suites a full concourse and a new state-of-the-art Daktronics ProStar LED video board, the facility ranks among the best in the region. In May 2004, Eastwood Field served as the venue for the Horizon League Baseball Championship. YSU swept through the tournament with a perfect 4-0 record to earn its fi rst ever conference championship and trip to the Division I NCAA Regional. It also served as the home of the Horizon League Championship in 2008. While the Penguins call the field home from March through May, the Scrappers, who are the short-season minor-league affi liate for the Cleveland Indians, play 38 home games each summer from mid-June through early September. Eastwood Field is no stranger to postseason play as the Scrappers played host to playoff games in 1999, 2000, 2004 and 2009. The Scrappers will be playing their 12th season in the stadium this summer while YSU is playing its 11th this spring. In addition, Eastwood Field has played host to musical performances featuring Nelly, Kenny Rogers, Nickelodeonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Musical Fest, Ja Rule, The Village People, Kool and the Gang, LFO, B*WITCHED, The Kinleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and 98 Degrees.

CENE PARK / FACILITIES The Youngstown State baseball team also calls beautiful Bob Cene Park in Struthers, Ohio, home. The Penguins resumed playing games at Cene Park in 2005 after a six-year absence that started in 1998. Prior to the 2005 campaign, the last YSU contest at the facility was a May 3, 1998, doubleheader against Central Connecticut State. A three-field complex that serves as the home of the Youngstown Class “B” Baseball League, Cene Park is noted as one of the top amateur facilities in the region. Established in 1995, the park has also been the site of collegiate tournaments, regional championships and countless high school contests. Since YSU resumed playing at Cene in 2005, the main field received a new scoreboard, and the press box was renovated. The park also features an indoor practice facility, wireless Internet access, batt ing cages, tarp and concession stand. The park is located just off of Routes 289 and 616 in Struthers just 10 minutes from campus.

The Watson and Tressel Training Site (WATTS) is a $10 million indoor practice facility that will be constructed in the heart of Youngstown State’s athletic facilities complex in the immediate future. Construction is planned to start this spring, and the state-of-the-art structure should be completed before the 2011 baseball season. Named after former YSU football coach Jim Tressel and the Watson family, the completion of this indoor facility is vital to the future success of the entire Penguins athletic department. In addition, the WATTS will serve as a community resource - providing a large, climate-protected venue for local youth organizations and high schools. When constructed, the seasonal facility will accommodate athletic team practices, intramural sports, campus-wide activities and special events benefiting students, faculty, staff and the community - especially during the fall, spring and harsh winter months. It will offer new and expanded opportunities to numerous groups. Soccer, men’s and women’s track and field, baseball, softball and football will have the ability to practice in a safer, more comfortable environment right on campus. The facility will also provide a significantly prolonged practice season to meet the challenge of the elevated level of competition YSU seeks to embrace. Th is project is seen as a public/private partnership in that the construction costs would be sought through private philanthropy. Once built, the operating costs would be absorbed by the University. Working together, we can continue to make YSU the center of the community and provide an environment that will aid in recruiting, retention and graduation of tomorrow’s leaders. The WATTS is part of an overall capital improvement plan on the Youngstown State campus surrounding the university’s centennial campaign.

The Bob Cene Park complex features three lit fields for major amateur tournaments. The Penguins play at Cene #1, the main jewel of the complex. An indoor hitt ing and training facility is also located on the complex’s grounds.

The Penguins also practice indoors at the Valley Sports Ltd complex minutes away from Cene Park. The large facility allows the team to take full infield and offers open space for batt ing cages and pitching mounds.

2009 SEASON HIGHLIGHTS • Junior shortstop Jacke Healey and sophomore pitcher Phil Klein were voted First-Team All-Horizon League by the conference’s coaches. Healey became the only fi rst-team all-conference shortstop in school history, and his eight homers were the most ever by a YSU shortstop. He led the Guins in home runs, doubles, runs, RBIs and total bases. Klein went 5-2 with a 4.62 ERA , which included a 4-0 record and a 3.83 ERA in league contests. He led Horizon League starters with 9.5 strikeouts per nine innings. • Eric Marzec and David Leon were named secondteam all-league. Marzec was the second-team utility player for the second straight season despite missing more than a month. He still batted .289 with six home runs, 27 RBIs and a team-best .547 slugging percentage. Leon batted .282 with 25 runs scored.

batt ing .439 with 18 RBIs and 13 runs scored over that stretch. His four home runs and 30 RBIs for the year were the most by a freshman since YSU career record holder Erich Diedrich hit six homers and drove in 33 in 2005.

22 games. YSU was caught just four times during that span. The Penguins fi nished with 50 steals in 70 attempts, which followed 67 steals in 2008. The last time that YSU had at least 50 steals in back-to-back seasons was 1998-99.

• Anthony Munoz and Jim Kinnick developed into solid relievers as the season wound down. Munoz, in his fi rst season on the mound after playing infield his fi rst two seasons at YSU, did not allow a run in his fi nal 7.2 innings. Kinnick did not allow an earned run in the fi nal 9.1 innings of the regular season.

• YSU celebrated two major milestones in 2009. The Penguins played in the 2,000th game in program history on April 29 against Marshall at Cene Park. Kinnick allowed two base runners in 3.1 innings of relief to earn his fi rst collegiate win in the contest. The Penguins also earned the program’s 1,000th victory in 2009 with a win at VMI on Feb. 27. Healey hit a two-run home run with two outs in the ninth inning to lift YSU to a 7-6 win.

• The Penguins were successful on their fi nal 13 stolen base attempts, and they swiped 28 bases in their fi nal

• John Koehnlein closed out his career with another solid campaign. He batted .385 and posted 65 hits, bringing his career totals to .376 and 245. He retired ranking third in school history in career batting average and fi ft h in career hits. • The Penguins closed out the campaign on a tear at the plate, batt ing .330 over their fi nal 14 contests. Eight starters batted at least .306, and Koehnlein batted an outlandish .542. • Jeremy Banks had a monster freshman campaign, which was highlighted by a hot streak to end the year. He hit safely in the fi nal 11 games of the season,

C.J. Morris, Anthony Porter and Trent Wood celebrated with Joe Iacobucci and Eric Marzec after Marzec scored the winning run on a walk-off single by Jeremy Banks against Cleveland State on April 11.

Your Success is Our Story You have a story. Everyone does. It’s about where you come from, what you think about, what you value. It’s about your friends, your family, your language, your music, your school. It’s about your particular skills and interests, what you’ve learned so far in life, how you relate to the world and other people. Right now, you’re about to start a whole new chapter in your story. In the book called My Life—by you, of course—the theme of this chapter is “Where do I want to go, and who do I want to become?” You have options you want to explore, places you want to see, things you want to do, ideas you want to propose, a career you want to pursue. That’s one reason you’re planning to go to college—to get going on that next chapter of your life, to become who you want to be. Colleges and universities have stories, too. How they started, what traditions they maintain, the way they look, the students they serve, the things they offer academically and socially, the role they play in their communities, and the role they play in the generation of new knowledge. Youngstown State University’s story is all those things. YSU is about outstanding academic quality, diversity of people and programs, and broad access to opportunity. But it is, overall, a culmination of the stories of all the students who in the past 100 years graduated and went on to make a difference. Our students - while they are here and after they graduate - are what YSU is all about.

Campus Overview • Opened in 1908, YSU celebrated its centennial during the 200708 academic year. As part of the celebration, the university launched a $44 million campaign for campus improvements.

When

David C. Sweet became Youngstown State University’s sixth president in July 2000, he mapped out a course that included three priorities: enrollment, partnerships, and diversity. Now in his tenth year, the University has made great strides in all three areas. Enrollment has jumped more than 16 percent since fall 2000 and is now at its highest level in 14 years. Over the last nine years, the number of minority students has increased more than 60 percent. And the University has initiated partnerships with the city of Youngstown, the Youngstown city school district, business, government, and non-profit organizations throughout the region. The University has also expanded academic programs at the associate, baccalaureate and graduate levels, including a new doctor of physical therapy degree. YSU reorganized its academic structure to better address the growing importance of science, technology, engineering and mathematics at the state and national levels. As a result, two new colleges were created: the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences and the College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics. In partnership with the Youngstown city schools, the University opened Youngstown Early College, a high school on the YSU campus aimed at helping city school students earn college credit and a high school degree at the same time. YSU has worked in collaboration with the city of Youngstown to complete a nationally-recognized urban development plan, Youngstown 2010, in conjunction with the Centennial Campus Master Plan. In addition, the University has been a leader in the development of Wick Neighbors, a non-profit community organization that is spearheading a major redevelopment project on the 70 acres of land that comprises the Smoky Hollow neighborhood. Since 2000, the University has opened the $22 million University Courtyard Apartments and the $12.1 million Andrews Student Recreation and Wellness Center. The campus has recently completed the YSU Centennial Capital Campaign that has raised more than $50 million, exceeding the original goal by 14 percent. It is the largest fund-raising effort in YSU’s history. A centerpiece of the campaign is the construction of the new $34.3 million building for the Williamson College of Business Administration, which is now underway. In partnership with federal, state and local agencies, major improvements have been made to corridors leading to the campus. Prior to coming to YSU, Dr. Sweet was dean and professor of the Levin College of Urban Affairs at Cleveland State from 1978 to 2000. His leadership resulted in national recognition for the college’s graduate studies and its city’s management/urban policy program. Prior to joining Cleveland State, Dr. Sweet held a number of state cabinet posts, including the director of the State Department of Development. He also served as commissioner of the Ohio Public Utilities Commission and head of the state’s first energy agency. Prior to state service, he was director of regional economic research at the Battelle Institute in Columbus.

He previously served as the chairman of the Northeast-Midwest Institute, a Washington, D.C. policy research institute, president of the American Economic Development Council; and has been elected a Fellow of the National Academy of Public Administration. Dr. Sweet holds a Ph.D. from The Ohio State University, an M.A.from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, and a B.A. from the University of Rochester. He and his wife, Pat, live in Liberty, Ohio, and have two daughters, two sons and seven grandchildren. After a decade of success and service, Dr. Sweet will retire from the presidency on June 30, 2010, and the Board of Trustees is undertaking a search for his replacement.

xecutive Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Ron Strollo, a former Penguin student-athlete, has worked diligently to ensure that today’s student-athletes have the support system in place to succeed not only at Youngstown State, but also in their future. Now in his ninth year as Athletics Director and 14th as a member of the department, his vision for successful broad-based programs and providing student-athletes tools to succeed on and off the playing fields is coming to fruition. Strollo has concentrated his priorities on facility improvements; full compliance of NCAA regulations; fiscal management and budgetary maintenance; streamlining department organization; increasing visibility and fundraising efforts of the Penguin Club; and enhancing the overall experience and competitiveness of studentathletes and programs. Outside of YSU, Strollo is also very involved on the regional and national level serving on several prominent committees. He is in his first of four years on the NCAA Division I Football Championship Selection Committee; is on the NCAA Division I Football Issues Committee; serves as the Central Region Chair of the NCAA Regional Advisory Committee; is on the Executive Committee of the FCS Athletic Directors Association; and serves as the Chair of the Horizon League Executive Committee. During his tenure, Strollo has placed a priority on the construction and enhancements of athletic venues. Currently, he is leading the final phases of a capital campaign to construct the Watson and Tressel Training Site, a $10 million indoor athletic practice facility which will include an indoor track and football practice field. The Beeghly Center has undergone more than $4 million in renovations. In the past year, Youngstown State acquired the 2009 Men’s Final Four basketball hoops, new strobe lighting was installed and the volleyball and men’s basketball locker rooms were refurbished. Last year, a new Dom Rosselli Court was installed and a weight room was built for the men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball and swimming and diving programs. Within the past two years in Stambaugh Stadium, office space in the athletic marketing and ticket offices and football suite received an enhancement, the weight room and athletic training offices were renovated, and upgrades were made to the baseball, soccer and softball locker rooms. Other recent upgrades include new chair-back seating (2009), a new southstadium scoreboard (2009), a concourse-level elevator (2005), a scoreboard and a Mitsubishi DiamondVision videoboard (2004) and a state-of-the-art SprinTurf playing surface (2002). He has also secured agreements for Eastwood Field, the home of the Cleveland Indians’ Class-A affiliate, and Cene Park to be the baseball team’s home fields and McCune Park to serve as the softball team’s home venue. Thanks to the benevolence of the Andrews Trust and the priority Strollo places on academics, the academic counseling center underwent a significant renovation and expansion and continues to receive technology upgrades. In the past eight years, the department, which has been recognized as a national leader for its graduation rates, has had many successes on and off the playing field. Under his leadership, Youngstown State earned full NCAA certification in 2007. This review of governance and commitment to rules, academic integrity, and equity and student-athlete well-being showed YSU athletics

operates in substantial conformity with the operating principles adopted by the NCAA Division I membership. More than half of the current 300-plus student-athletes have a cumulative grade-point average of 3.0 or higher while nine teams have an overall GPA of at least 3.0. YSU’s Academic Progress Rate is well above the national average for public institutions, and its 93 percent graduation rate is at an all-time high. Eleven student-athletes have captured Academic All-America accolades while a total of 46 have been named to Academic All-District teams. YSU has won 13 Horizon League titles, and it won back-to-back Gateway Football Conference (now the Missouri Valley Football Conference) championships in 2005 and 2006. Most recently, YSU added the 2009 Horizon League Women’s Outdoor Track and Field and Women’s Golf Championships to its trophy cases. In Strollo’s role as the Executive Director of the Penguin Club, the organization has increased athletic endowed scholarship contributions annually. Annual events keep improving every year, and the growth of the Football Alumni Club has had a positive impact on the department. Strollo returned to his alma mater in 1996 as athletic business manager. In March 2000, he was named the school’s Associate Executive Director of Athletics. In his short time in that capacity, he helped spearhead the transition into the Horizon League. He has strong ties to the local community and to the athletic department. He grew up in nearby Austintown and attended Fitch High School. He played football for YSU from 1988 through 1991 for Coach Jim Tressel and was named captain of the first Division I-AA National Championship team in 1991. He earned his bachelor’s degree in accounting from Youngstown State in June, 1993. Ron and his wife, Nicole, reside in Austintown with their two children, Ryan and Rachel. Nicole is a former YSU student-athlete who competed in track and cross country from 1989 through 1993.

Penguin Nickname Legend Prior to 1933, Youngstown College had been referred to as "Y" College, YoCo, Wye Collegians and many times, simply the "Locals." There are two accounts of how the Penguin nickname came to be, and interestingly enough they come from the same evening on Jan. 30, 1933. But throughout the season prior to that contest, many of the members of the 1932-33 varsity men’s basketball team and their friends on campus spent idle moments in the cafeteria discussing suitable new names for our school sports combines, basketball, and fencing that year. The names considered covered every conceivable spectrum of animals, birds, and things associated with the steel city, but none seemed to fit. There was always someone who pointed out an inadequacy of some sort. The first account states that on a cold, freezing night at a men’s basketball game at West Liberty State Teachers College, in West Liberty, W. Va., a spectator watching the members of the team stomp on the floor and swing their arms made them look like Penguins and without a nickname, the fans took a liking to the word. The second account comes from the trip to West Liberty in which the road that evening had been hit by a snowfall between one and two feet deep. The passengers in two of the cars found it necessary on several occasions to get out and help push their vehicles out of snow drifts or road area YSU Alma Mater All hail to thee O Youngstown, with snow ruts, difficult to drive through. During the trip, Bennett Kunicki recalls, the Our Alma Mater fair; discussion of a nickname for the school was the In sunlight and starshine hot topic of conversation. In Kunicki’s car, the We see thee in all thy glory. name Penguins came up and was well received by The Red and White, thy glorious colors, everyone in the car. Upon arrival at the West Liberty Ever we praise and hold them gym, the name was mentioned to the members of High to the breeze as the symbol of our Most loyal allegiance. the team, who thought it was perfect. By the end of that school year, the nickname was This anthem, O Youngstown, unanimously accepted by the student body without Our pledge of trust shall be the necessity of a formal polling vote. Plans were That thy sons and daughters then made to introduce the new name during the Shall keep faith with thee forever 1933-34 basketball season. The nickname Penguins was formally introduced YSU’s Fight Song to the school in the "Jambar" (Vol. IV, No. 3) at the The Red and White are waving beginning of the 1933-34 basketball season. Page Over the field three of that issue was set up to cover YSU’s first game Our teams are fighting to introduce the members of that season’s team and With a spirit that will not yield to give the schedule for the season. The date of the Rah-Rah-Rah "Jambar" issue was Dec. 15, 1933. Within the next five Hail to thee O’Youngstown or six weeks, Penguins became our newly accepted We’ll fight for you nickname both in the Jambar and on the sports Once again the Penguins Will win for YSU pages of the then two local newspapers. The name was introduced after the first game with Slippery Rock in the Dec. 15, 1933 issue of the "Jambar". The Youngstown Telegram first used the nickname in a headline on Dec. 29, 1933 while The Vindicator first acknowledged the nickname in its Jan. 27, 1934 edition.

The City of Youngstown was incorporated in 1867 and named for John Young, who purchased approximately 15,000 acres (the entire township) for slightly more than $16,000 in 1797 from the United States Government. With its setting in the Mahoning Valley along the Mahoning River, Youngstown quickly grew to become a thriving city in the 1920s as part of the industrial belt that stretched from Massachusetts to the Mississippi River. The iron and steel industry created a strong blue-collar work ethic in the city and surrounding areas that is still very evident, even decades after the closing of the mills.
