BASEBALLARKANSAS STATESEASON OUTLOOK

As the 2008 season approaches, bigthings appear to be on the horizon forASU Baseball. Experience returns allover the field as six position starters areback from the 2007 team. Add to thatthe No. 1 ranked recruiting class in theSun Belt Conference, a class thatranked in the top 45 nationally, and thepotential for success is very high.

Even though six starters return, thewealth of talent brought aboard withthe 2007 recruiting class leaves very fewstarting positions locked down.

“There was a great deal of compe-tition during the fall that will continueright up until our first game, and therewere very few returning position playersthat had secured starting spots,” saidASU Head Coach Keith Kessinger. “Wehad a highly rated recruiting class, andwe were very proud of what they didwhen they got here. It is the most tal-ented class that we’ve signed since I’vebeen here, and there was a lot of com-petition for the returning guys in retain-ing their opportunity to start.”

The Tribe’s talent and youth will betested early by what Kessinger calls thetoughest schedule of his five years atASU. The Indians open the seasonagainst Ohio State at the Service Acad-emy Classic in Millington, Tenn., thentake on Seton Hall and Navy to wrap upthe three-day tournament. The homeopener is scheduled for Feb. 25 againstWilliams Baptist College.

One-half of the 56 games on the2008 schedule are against teamsranked in the top 100 nationally in Col-

legiate Baseball’s preseason poll, in-cluding the season opener against OhioState, which is ranked #78 heading intothe season. The non-conference sched-ule features teams from the Big 10, BigEast, Big 12, and SEC. The top-100ranked teams scheduled to visit Jones-boro include Ole Miss (#4), Southern Illi-nois (#33), New Orleans (#50), andregional rival Memphis (#57).

“There’s no question that it is themost challenging beginning to a seasonthat we’ve ever had,” said Kessinger.“And the Sun Belt is unquestionably oneof the top baseball conferences in thecountry. To win this league you have tobe extremely good, and things have gotto fall right for you. We want to be ateam that is in competition to win thisleague.”

In addition to New Orleans, otherSun Belt games scheduled for TomlinsonStadium and Kell field include matchupswith Middle Tennessee State, Louisiana-Monroe, Florida International and theregular season finale against Arkansas-Little Rock.

The Tribe returns 11 arms to themound that have seen game action,but must replace weekend startersNathan Gates and T.J. Brewer, alongwith ASU’s all-time saves leader, TimEgart.

Gates graduated following the 2007season, and both Brewer and Egartwere drafted by the San Francisco Gi-ants in last year’s MLB draft.

“Losing those three was big, and T.J.was one of the best pitchers in the con-ference,” said Kessinger. “Replacinghim is one of the biggest concernsthat we have, but we feel like wehave as many arms to competeat the Division 1 level, as we’veever had.”

Three pitchers with weekendexperience return.

“Jett Jones (LHP, 6’2”, 185)who did a really nice job for us atthe end of the year as our Sun-day starter,” said Kessinger. “Hemissed fall practice with somearm issues but he is back to 100percent. Jacob Maggard (RHP,6’0”, 192), who was a weekendstarter last year until he hadTommy John surgery has made aremarkable recovery. He alsolooks to be nearly 100 percentwhen the season begins.

“We are very pleased withJoel Boeschen’s (LHP, 6’2”, 190)progress as well following shoul-der surgery last year, and glad tohave him back on the mound.

When he was healthy two years ago, hewas a quality weekend starter whoshowed flashes of dominance. Ahealthy Joel, certainly figures in at thetop of our rotation.”

Kessinger added that Chase Ware(RHP, 6’4”, 210) and Chris Bullington(RHP, 6’2”, 195), both junior collegetransfers, will be in the mix for a spot inthe starting rotation in 2008. Andy Fer-guson(RHP, 6’1”, 190), Cory Lambert(LHP 6’2”, 175), Danny Riemenschneider(RHP, 5’9”, 155), Zach Skaggs (LHP,5’11”, 170), Hunter Smith (RHP, 6’3”, 190),and Jordan Torr (LHP, 6’2”, 200) will alsosee action on the mound.

Senior Pete Pasternak (RHP, 6’3”,205) has battled injuries the past twoyears, but brings experience if healthy.“Pete showed flashes this fall of gettingback to looking like the guy we re-cruited,” said Kessinger.

The Tribe’s top reliever is expectedto be junior Nick Lambert (RHP 6’0” 165).Lambert appeared in 32 games in 2007,setting the single season record forgames pitched at ASU.

“Nick has got a really good armand an arm that bounces back,” saidKessinger. He’s a guy that has been intight spots before and we could use himas the closer but he’ll see a lot of timecoming out of the bullpen.”

Infielders Jordan Kimball (RHP 6’0”,175), Brandon Eller (RHP, 6’0” 175), andDrew Benes (RHP, 6’3”, 210) also couldsee time in relief.

With the depth on the mound,Kessinger expects to redshirt freshmenTony Pavan (RHP, 6’0”, 170) and Cody

Powell (RHP, 6’1”, 195). At catcher, the Tribe must replace

starter Drew Rogers, who left the pro-gram during the offseason following hisjunior season.

Three players are vying for time be-hind the plate, with Grey Avant (6’2”,210) and Lawson Hipps (6’0”, 200) themost likely candidates.

“Hipps is a junior college transferand a left handed hitter,” said Kessinger.“I really like his bat. He has a lot of en-thusiasm and certainly came off a greatjunior college career and certainly hasan opportunity to be a really goodplayer for us.”

“Grey Avant, who got some startsearly last season has a lot of experi-ence,” added Kessinger. “ He’s trav-eled and been to a lot of games with usand understands what were trying toget done. Grey has shown a lot of im-provement this year offensively.”

Behind those two is redshirt fresh-man Cade Baxter (6’0”, 175), a versatileplayer who has played nearly every po-sition on the field since arriving at ASU.

Experience abounds in the infield,where starters return at all four positions.Junior Brandon Eller was the regularstarter at first base in 2007, sophomoreJordan Kimball saw a great deal of ac-tion at second base, senior Ryan Hud-gins (6’1”, 210) is an All-Sun BeltConference shortstop, and junior GuyBrown (6’0”, 170) was a regular at third.

Although Kessinger expects all fourto see significant action in 2008, eachplayer could be in a different position,depending on the lineup.

“First base is a spot where we feelgood,” said Kessinger. We have twoyoung guys competing for that job rightnow in Drew Benes and Murray Watts(6’7”, 250). Each of them bring some-thing different. Drew’s a right handedhitter and maybe moves a little betterdefensively while Murray is a left handedhitter and is a much bigger target. Theodds are that both those guys will be inthe lineup a good bit somewhere, andEller could be in the mix at first as well.”

Second base is where Kessinger ex-pects to see Eller, who led the team witha .347 batting average a year ago.“Brandon had a great offensive yearlast year. We always thought that prob-ably his best position would be secondbase for us, and last year, with an arminjury, he couldn’t play it. We’re going togive Brandon the opportunity there andsee how his arm responds.”

“Jordan Kimball is a tremendous de-fensive player, both at second andshortstop,” said Kessinger. “ He is learn-

ing to switch hit and we think that downthe road, that should really help him. Hedid some good things switch hitting thisfall and he will definitely have some op-portunity at shortstop or second base tohelp us, either as a starter or backup.”

Brown spent most of last year atthird base, but could also see time atsecond. “Guy had a great fall,” saidKessinger. “He had one of our best of-fensive falls. He has a lot of experience,and has played a lot of games in thisconference. He understands what ittakes to win.”

After missing most of fall practicewith a back injury, Hudgins has returnedat 100 percent for the spring.

“Ryan is more than likely this yearsfirst team preseason all-conferenceshortstop,” Kessinger said. “He is natu-rally a third baseman, and that could bethe position that he could be back at,but he did a great job for us last year atshortstop. We feel very comfortablewith Ryan at either position.”

Baxter, Riemenschneider, TaylorStetzer (6’0”, 180), Sean Nichols (6’0”,185) and Todd Baumgartner (6’1”, 180)all could action in the infield as well dur-ing the 2008 season.

“Danny Riemenschneider had a re-ally good fall for us. He is a good playerand can play just about anywhere. AndBaumgartner will be on the field some-where,” said Kessinger. “More than likelyin the outfield. Todd is an immensely tal-ented offensive player that can reallyrun and can really hit. He has notplayed a lot of outfield in his career, butis certainly athletic enough to go be areally good outfielder for us.”

“Taylor Stetzer could be mentionedfor every infield position as well,”Kessinger added. “Taylor is a versatile,athletic infielder with a great future.”

Another newcomer likely to joinBaumgartner in the outfield will be juniorcollege transfer Derrick Coleman (5’10”,195).

“Derrick had a tremendous fall forus,” said Kessinger. “He’s a very tal-ented player, runs well, and can playany three of the outfield positions, buthe’s probably more comfortable in cen-ter or left. Derrick will probably be in thetop of the batting order for us. He is aswitch hitter, and had the best offensivefall of any of our players.”

Aaron Ferguson (5’10”, 180), CodyPace (6’2”, 205) and A.J. Prickel (6’0”,195) saw significant starting time in 2007and will be counted on in 2008 as well.

“Aaron is as good of a defensivecenterfielder as anyone in our leagueand even maybe in the country,” said

Kessinger. “He is a good senior leaderfor this team and he has worked veryhard during the fall. A.J. moved to theoutfield last year. He’s a guy that had agood fall offensively. He’s still trying tolearn the outfield position, but we feelthat he is certainly in the mix to help usout there.”

“Cody Pace played a lot of gameslast year,” continued Kessinger. “Codyis another guy that is a great athlete,can do a lot of things for us defensively,and is in the mix to see some playingtime at all three outfield spots.”

Kessinger also expects Joey Hoff-man (6’0”, 180) to see significant time inthe outfield as a true freshman. “Hoff-man has as good of a fall as a freshmanthat I have ever seen,” said Kessinger.“He hit close to 500 during our fall intra-squads.”

When not seeing time at other posi-tions, Kessinger expects Watts, Hippsand Jones to fill the role of designatedhitter.

“I will be very surprised if the teamthat starts the season has the same peo-ple in the same positions later in the sea-son,” said Kessinger. “We think thatthere are some good combinations.There’s going to be some left-rightswitches. There will be some opportuni-ties position-wise that in the past, wewere not able to do.'

Now entering his sixth season as head coach of the baseballIndians, Keith Kessinger has compiled a 131-144 record during his fiveseasons at ASU, including back-to-back winning seasons in 2004 and2005 - the first time the Tribe had posted back-to-back winning recordssince 1996-97.

In his five seasons at ASU, Kessinger has not only brought na-tional recognition to ASU baseball, earning victories over nationally-ranked opponents, but has also overseen the transformation ofTomlinson Stadium and Kell Field into a source of pride for ArkansasState.

Despite an overall record of 23-32 in 2007, the Indians did havethe most Sun Belt Conference wins in a single season under Kessinger,winning 13 league games during the season. The Indians won leagueseries over Florida International and Louisiana-Monroe in Jonesboro, andpicked up road series wins over Western Kentucky and Arkansas-LittleRock. The Indians also defeated Big-10 member Northwestern at theLamar Cardinal Classic in Beaumont, Texas.

Brewer and fellow senior pitcher TimEgart were both selected in the Major League Baseball draft.

Although the Indians also dipped below .500 in 2006, finishingat 22-30, ASU did post victories over nationally-ranked Mississippi, South-

eastern Conference member Kentucky, Big 10 member Michigan State, and Memphis during the non-conference sea-son. Additionally, the Tribe qualified for the Sun Belt Conference Tournament as it won Sun Belt series against UALR andWKU, sweeping UALR in early April. The Tribe also posted a 16-10 record in 2006 at ASU's Tomlinson Stadium, designatedhitter Josh Yates was named All-America as a junior, and following the season, two Indians were selected in the MajorLeague Baseball Draft.

ASU's 33 victories in 2005 tied a record for the fourth most victories in a single season for the Indian baseball pro-gram. The Indian offense posted a record breaking performance in 2005 under Kessinger's guidance as it re-wrote theASU record books in almost every offensive category. The Tribe posted singleseason records in batting average (.314), runs scored (429), hits (632), dou-bles (135), home runs (78), runs batted in (390) and total bases (1023).

The Tribe posted a 19-9 record at home at Tomlinson Stadium in2005, which marked the most home wins since 1997. The Indians alsorecorded a 12-12 record in Sun Belt Conference action including series winsover Arkansas-Little Rock, Western Kentucky, New Orleans and NCAA Tour-nament participant South Alabama. The Tribe’s .500 winning percentage inSBC play is the best winning percentage for ASU since the 1998 season.

The Indians receivedvotes for the first time in program history in the National Collegiate BaseballWriters Association Weekly Poll. The Tribe placed three players on the All-SunBelt First Team in first baseman Geoff Desmond, second baseman Brett Kin-ning and shortstop Chris Rich.

BASEBALLARKANSAS STATE2007 YEAR IN REVIEW

Despite finishing the season below.500 at 23-32, the 2007 ASU Indians didrecord numerous accomplishments inaddition to leaving a solid foundationfor the 2008 team to build on.

After stumbling out of the gate a 1-5 to open the season, the Tribe chalkedup seven victories in its next nine games,defeating the Big 10’s NorthwesternWildcats and Murray State before de-feating Bradley 2-1 in the season’s firsthome three-game series. The Indiansadded victories over SE Missouri Stateand Jackson State before outscoringNew Orleans 12-10 in the first Sun Beltgame of the season.

After New Orleans came back toclaim the series with wins in games twoand three, the Indians saw their confer-ence hopes take a hit as they droppedthe next three Sun Belt series as well,falling to South Alabama and Florida At-lantic on the road, and Middle Ten-nessee at home.

In the Saturday game at South Ala-bama, Indian senior T.J. Brewer pitchedhis first complete-game shutout at ASU,hurling over 130 pitches in the Indian vic-tory. In going the distance on themound, Brewer surrendered just four hits

and three walks while striking out six bat-ters. Brewer was named Sun Belt Con-ference Pitcher of the Week.

Each of the games with Middle Ten-nessee went into extra innings. ArkansasState captured the series opener with a7-6, 10-inning win, then dropped gametwo 4-3, also in 10 innings. The Tribefought for 14 innings before Middle Ten-nessee captured the series with a 7-5win in the Sunday finale.

Arkansas State picked up its firstleague series win of 2007 when it de-feated Florida International by winningtwo of three games in the first weekendof April. Brewer led Arkansas State to a4-0 win over the Golden Panthers in theSaturday game, hurling over 130 pitchesin nine innings of work. Brewer struck outseven batters on the day while giving upseven hits and three walks. All seven ofFlorida International's hits in the gamewere singles, and Brewer earned his sec-ond conference Pitcher of the Weekaward.

After a pair of midweek losses at#14 Oklahoma State, the Tribe posted itssecond consecutive Sun Belt series winby taking games one and three on theroad at Western Kentucky.

Following the tripto Bowling Green,the Indians returnedhome for a mid-week date with Ten-nessee-Martin, agame that pro-duced one of themost memorableevents of the sea-son. Junior short-stop Ryan Hudginsbecame just thethird Indian in historyto hit for the cycle,leading ArkansasState to a 6-1 victoryover the Skyhawks.

Hudgins deliv-ered a double in thethird inning, a triplein the fifth, a single inthe seventh, and atwo-run home run inthe eighth to com-plete the cycle,driving in three runsin the process.Needing a homerun to complete thecycle in the eighth,his two-run shot setthe final score at 6-1.

After defeating Central Arkansasthe next night, the Indians dropped theirnext two Sun Belt series.

Troy defeated ASU in three straightin Jonesboro, and Louisiana-Lafayetteescaped with a 2-1 series win in April’sfinal weekend of play when the Tribe vis-ited the Cajuns.

In the Sunday series final againstULL, ASU senior Nathan Gates gave upone run in each of the first two innings,then shut out ULL over the final seven,handing the Ragin’ Cajuns just their sec-ond home loss of the season and earn-ing the Sun Belt Pitcher of the Weekaward.

The Indians closed out conferenceplay on a strong note, defeatingLouisiana-Monroe 2-1 in the final homeseries of the season, then traveled to Lit-tle Rock, where they also picked up a 2-1 series win.

In the series against ULM, senior JoshYates delivered a two-out, two-strike,eighth inning grand slam in the finalhome at-bat of his career to help the In-dians erase a 13-12 deficit and defeatLouisiana-Monroe 17-13 Sunday after-noon. Yates capped a 7-for-17 week(.412) by earning conference Player ofthe Week honors.

The Indians finished Sun Belt play at13-17, and in ninth place. The Tribemissed a trip to the conference tourna-ment in Mobile by one win, and finishedjust three games out of second place inan extremely tight league race.

Three players earned All-Sun Belthonors following the season. Brewer wasselected first-team All-Sun Belt, whileHudgins and designated hitter JoshYates were both selected to the All-SunBelt second team.

Yates and sophomore first basemanBrandon Eller were named to the ESPNthe Magazine Academic All-District VIteam, with Yates earning Academic All-America honors as well.

BASEBALLARKANSAS STATETOMLINSON STADIUM & KELL FIELD

Named for ASU pioneer J.A. ‘Ike’ Tomlinson, and Major League Baseball Hall of Famer George Kell, Tomlinson Sta-dium & Kell Field was opened in 1993. The complex includes Tomlinson Stadium & Kell Field as well as the baseball officesand indoor work out facilities for Arkansas State baseball.

“Coach Ike” as Tomlinson was known to his former players and ASU fans, was primarily responsible for the rebirth ofASU Athletics following the end of World War II. He coached numerous programs, including base-ball, and served as the school’s athletic director. He was a part of ASU Athletics for almost sixdecades, and the school honored him in 1994 by placing his name on the new baseball facility.

Kell, a native of Swifton (Ark.), was electedto the MLB Hall of Fame in 1983, and has beenan active supporter of Arkansas State baseballfor many years. Kell edged out Ted Williams forthe 1949 MLB batting title, going 2-for-3 on thefinal day of the season, while Williams was hitlessin two at-bats. Kell’s final mark on the seasonwas .3429, while Williams posted a .3427 aver-age. He was a 10-time American League All-Starwho hit over .300 in eight consecutive seasons.Kell twice led the American League in hits and in

doubles, and in the late 1940’s and early 1950’s,he was regarded as the best third baseman in theAmerican League.Head Coach Keith Kessinger was impressed with

ASU’s facility upon being hired and has also made several im prove ments,in clud ing work in the dugout and indoor facility as well as in creas ing theschool’s colors of Scarlet and Black around the com plex. Also, a batter’s eye

was added as well as re-tractable indoor and all-weather batting cages. Prior to the 2007 season, the Barton’s BaseballDeck picnic area was added, and new for the 2008 season are over 200field-level seats. Along with the new seating, which includes 26 handi-cap-accessible seating areas, are new party boxes which are availablefor groups and corporate events, new backstop netting, and new, preci-sion-leveled infield turf. The Legacy Walk was also created prior to the2008 season to recognize friends ofASU Baseball for their contribu-tions to the program.

Lights were installed atthe stadium, and Ar kan sas Statehosted its first night baseballgames in the 1996 season, thanksin part to the donations and sup-port of many Indian baseballfans.

Tomlinson Stadium-KellField has a natural grass surface,and the outfield di men sions are335 feet down the left and rightfield lines, 370 to the power alleysand 400 to straightaway center-field. The outfield wall is eight feet

high.

BASEBALLARKANSAS STATE2008 ASU INDIANSDR. DEAN LEE, DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS

When the Arkansas State University athletics program reaches its 100th birthday in three years,Dean Lee's name will figure prominently in the celebration.ASU athletics is entering its 98th year and Lee still has a little more time to continue restoring

the old and building new tradition for Arkansas State.Under Lee’s direction, the ASU athletic department enjoyed another significant year in 2006-

07. Not only did ASU enjoy some of the most exciting moments ever on the fields, courts andtracks, but also in the arenas of academics, donor and alumni involvement, community serv-ice and achievement.Lee has guided the athletic department to annual success academically and competitively,

but last year ASU athletics once again enjoyed growth through a number of unique accom-plishments and projects as well.For instance, a state-of-the-art ProGreen artificial surface was installed in Indian Stadium, a

picnic area for fans was built at Tomlinson Stadium, ASU entered into a five-year agreementwith adidas to make the company its official footwear and apparel outfitter, an impressive 53-foot long equipment trailer covered in a creative wrap design was unveiled and new festiv-

ities such as Jazz in Jonesboro and the Indian Club Luau were introduced to ASU fans.Those are just a few of the many ways that the ASU athletic department continued to develop under Lee, who is always

looking for new and creative ways to take the Indians athletic program to the next level while maintaining its main focus onacademics, competitive performance and a well-rounded environment for student-athletes.

Entering his sixth year as director of athletics, Lee is even hungrier for ASU to have continued success in all areas. He hasalready made great strides in enabling Arkansas State's Department of Athletics to become one of the most respected pro-grams around.

Dr. Dean Lee became ASU's 10th Director of Athletics July 9, 2002. It wasn't long before the department began to expe-rience important and progressive changes, which were capped by an unprecedented “State of A-State” address in the springof 2004. When he concluded the address to a packed house, there was no mistaking that he is committed to building a suc-cessful program at ASU.

In a very short time, he has orchestrated sold out and ca-pacity crowds, overseen the expansion and growth of ASU'sathletic facilities, and provided sound leadership to both theathletic staff and population of student-athletes.

Lee came to ASU from Oklahoma State University, wherehe was the executive director of the OSU Athletic Associatesand assistant vice president of the OSU Foundation.

His administrative experience at two NCAA Division I-A uni-versities, OSU and the University of Arkansas, and his achieve-ments in mobilizing financial support make him well-suited forArkansas State University and Northeast Arkansas.

In addition, Dr. Lee's experience as athletic director atArkansas Tech University and his familiarity with ASU and thestate of Arkansas help him feel right at home.

He earned his bachelor's degree in 1979 and master's ineducation at Henderson State University, then completed hisdoctor of education degree at the University of Arkansas in1989.

Although born in Tulsa, Okla., Lee competed in high schoolsports in Arkansas and was selected to play in the All-Star bas-ketball game in 1975.

He also played basketball, baseball and tennis at Hender-son State, where he later served as an assistant coach. He washead basketball coach at Malvern High School early in his ca-reer.

Dean and wife Reba are the parents of two daughters, Dia-mond Olivia (12) and Anna Pearl (10).
