Turkey Hughes Field

Turkey Hughes Field Built in the 1960s and named after legendary coach Charles “Turkey” Hughes, Turkey Hughes Field has been the site of 13 EKU Ohio Valley Conference baseball championships. With its convenient and att ractive location right on campus next to Alumni Coliseum, “The Turk” is a great place to take in a college baseball game. The fi eld has dimensions of 330 ft. X 410 ft. X 340 ft. and features a bullpen area, hitt ing cages, ample bleacher space and a press box. In 2009, EKU invested over half a million dollars on Turkey Hughes Field, adding a state-of-the-art synthetic turf infi eld, a hitt er’s eye in center fi eld, nett ing and a brick wall back-stop. The hitt er’s eye covers the right fi eld line all the way to the scoreboard to give Turkey Hughes Field a new backdrop. The synthetic turf covers the entire infi eld, including the base paths and home plate. The only part that remains clay is the pitcher’s mound. Last year, Nearly $100,000 worth of improvements went into extending a brick wall to enclose a beautiful, newly graded and sodded outfi eld. The renovations will revolutionize the way the EKU baseball program is able to develop its players. The synthetic turf infi eld will allow the players to practice in spite of bad weather, and far fewer games will be cancelled due to the improvement. “We are very excited about the renovations at Turkey Hughes Field,” head coach Jason Stein said. “The improvements will not only enhance the experience of our players but also the experience of our great fanbase.” The fanbase Stein to which Stein alluded plays an integral part in the team’s success as the Colonels went 19-7 at home in 2009 and 15-6 at home in 2010. Additional renovations to Turkey Hughes Field are expected to occur in the future.

Jason SteinJason Stein

Head Coach • Third Year at EKU

Alma Mater: Eastern Kentucky, 1997

Head Coach Jason Stein

Jason Stein is now in his third season as the head baseball coach at East-ern Kentucky University. In just two years on the job, Stein has already produced 11 All-Ohio Valley Conference performers, three All-Americans and one player selected in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft . Although his stated goal is to win championships, Stein (pronounced STEEN) moved the EKU baseball program in the right direction in 2010 as the Colonels posted a record of 28-27, a team batt ing average above .300 for the second consecutive season and qualifed for the OVC Tournament following a two-year hiatus. EKU’s bright future was on display at the OVC Tournament as fresh-man right-hander Anthony Bazzani led the Colonels to their fi rst postsea-son victory since 2007 by dominating Murray State on the fi rst day of the event, going eight innings and nearly sett ing a neutral site OVC Tourna-ment record with 10 strikeouts. Stein’s impact in 2010 also stretched outside of the baseball diamond and into the classroom as he was awarded EKU’s Coaches Academic Enhancement Award for his emphasis on acadmics. The baseball team earned a cumulative GPA of 3.03 in the fall of 2010. Upon taking over the Colonel baseball program in the summer of 2008, Stein inherited a team featuring just fi ve pitchers with Division I experi-ence, two of whom recorded a win the previous season and none of whom pitched more than 30 innings; however, powered by Stein’s philosophy of smart at-bats, aggressive base running and solid defense, the Colonels won 27 games in 2009 and, astoundingly, were one win away from mak-ing a trip to the OVC Tournament. In just his fi rst year on the job, Stein posted the fourth-best winning percentage (.529) of all 23 fi rst-year Divi-sion I head baseball coaches in America. Under Stein’s guidance, EKU’s off ense was one of the best in the coun-try in 2009. The Colonels were 10th nationally in batt ing average (.345), 10th in scoring (9.2 runs/game), fi fth in triples (29), seventh in stolen bases (123) and fi fth in stolen bases/game (2.41). The Colonels’ success under Stein in 2009 was legitimized by postsea-son awards. Sophomore third baseman Jayson Langfels, who won the OVC batt ing title with a .441 batt ing average and led the country with 1.67 RBI/game, was named a second team All-American by collegebaseballin-sider.com and an honorable mention All-Ping performer by ping!baseball.com. Meanwhile, senior outfi elder Matt Davis, who was fourth nationally with 1.45 runs/game, was named a Louisville Slugger third team All-American by Collegiate Baseball magazine.

At the conference level, four Colonels were named All-OVC fol-lowing the season, none of whom had received All-OVC recognition before 2009. Davis and Langfels were named fi rst team All-OVC while junior fi rst baseman Anthony Ott -rando and freshman shortstop Richie Rodriguez were named to the second team. Rodriguez was the only fresh-man in the league to earn All-OVC honors. The four All-OVC honorees were the most from EKU since 2006. On top of that, and as an indica-tor of the direction the program is headed under Stein, three Colonels were named to the OVC All-Fresh-man Team: Rodriguez, outfi elder Michael Garcia and designated hitt er Jacob Daniel. A two-time All-OVC honoree for EKU Athletics Hall of Fame coach Jim Ward from 1992-95, Stein later served as an assistant coach to Ward from 1998-2000 before coming to Richmond from Belmont University where he served seven years as an assistant coach, the last two as as-sistant head coach. “To be able to return to my alma mater and coach on the fi eld where I bled and cried as a player is unbelievable,” Stein said. “Every young coach wants the opportunity to take over a program with a history of excellence and winning championships. To inherit such a program to which I already have strong emotional ties is a dream come true.” Stein has done more than coach winning baseball for his alma mater. Since arriving in 2008, Stein and his staff have raised nearly half a million dollars to be used for renovations to Turkey Hughes Field. In the summer of 2009, a state-of-the-art synthetic turf infi eld was installed at the fi eld, a brick backstop was put in place, new nets and poles were installed in the outfi eld and a hitt er’s eye was placed in center fi eld. In the summer of 2010, the brick backstop was extended to enclose a beautiful, newly graded and sodded outfi eld. Stein plans to make at least one addition to the fi eld every year henceforth. Stein has embraced his role as a head coach in the college baseball community, as he has spoken at numerous state and national coaching conventions. In January of 2010, he was selected to give a talk about base stealing called “Stealing the Big Inning” in front of over 3,000 of the top college baseball coaches in the country at the American Baseball Coaches Association’s national convention in Dallas. A native of Ashland, Ky. and a graduate of Paul G. Blazer High School, Stein arrived at EKU as a player in 1992. Noted initially for his glove,

Stein was a .334 hitt er for the Colonels from 1992-95

Head Coach Jason Stein

specifi cally his ability to turn the double play, Stein proved his worth at the plate as a sophomore when he won the 1993 OVC batt ing title with a .378 average. The second baseman was named second team All-OVC that year, and was selected to the OVC All-Tournament team after hitt ing .400 in post-season play. Stein collected 19 multiple-hit games his sophomore season. As a junior, Stein posted a .301 batt ing average and was named honor-able mention All-OVC, despite missing two weeks of the season with an injury. He was second on the team in hits that season with 56, and fi nished the year on a tear, hitt ing safely in 17 of his last 20 games. Stein moved to shortstop his senior year, and was just as productive as the previous two seasons. As a co-captain for the Colonels, he earned fi rst team All-OVC honors in 1995. He batt ed .333 that season, led the team with 76 hits and only struck out fi ve times in 228 at-bats. Stein fi nished his Colonel career with a .334 batt ing average and was named OVC Player of the Week three times. “I was very impressed with Jason when we met because of his baseball knowledge and his passion for EKU,” Director of Athletics Mark Sandy said. “I am certain he will be an outstanding coach and an excellent representative for the University. Now that he has the opportunity to lead his own program, I believe Jason will prove that he is a rising star in the coaching ranks.” From 1996-97, Stein served as a student assistant under Ward, with his primary on-fi eld duties including working with middle infi elders and coaching third base. In 1998, Stein became an assistant coach, and a year later was named recruiting coordinator. As an assistant at EKU, Stein coached more than 15 All-OVC selections, 10 OVC Player of the Week honorees and seven OVC All-Tournament team selections. The Colonels won the OVC regular season title in 2000, and placed in the top three in tournament play all three years Stein was an assistant. Stein served as an assistant coach/recruiting coordinator at Belmont from 2001-05, and was named assistant head coach/recruiting coordi-nator in 2006. In Stein’s tenure at Belmont, he coached 24 All-Atlantic Sun Conference selections, 120 Atlantic Sun Academic All-Conference selections and 16 Atlantic Sun Player of the Week honorees. He recruited or coached nine players selected to play in major league organizations, including the highest draft pick in school history, Blake Owen, who went to the Baltimore Orioles in the sixth round of the 2005 draft. Stein was also responsible for two or more players drafted in back-to-back years for the fi rst time in Belmont’s Division I era. Stein recruited and coached the 2006 Atlantic Sun Freshman of the Year, Derek Wiley, and also recruited and coached the Atlantic Sun’s fi rst ever dual all-conference selection in Carlo Testa, who was named fi rst team all-conference as a left-handed pitcher and fi rst team all-conference as an outfi elder. With Stein’s help, Belmont reached the fi nal game of 2007 Atlantic Sun Conference tournament. The Bruins broke the school record for wins twice during Stein’s tenure, and they also defeated three nationally-ranked teams. Under Stein’s guidance, the Bruins set school records in nearly every single-season off ensive category, including most home runs, most RBI,

most total bases and most stolen bases. The Bruins swiped 518 bases dur-ing Stein’s time, and posted school records of 103 stolen bases in 2002 and 124 in 2005. Stein earned a bachelor’s degree in ornamental horticulture from EKU in 1997, and received a master’s degree in sports administration from EKU in 1998. In 2005, Stein married the former Terri Edge. The couple resides in Richmond with their four-year old son, Ryker, two-year old daughter, Riley, and nine-month old son, Jaxton.

What others are saying about Jason Stein ...

“Jason is an excellent hire for EKU because he really has a passion for that program. He has developed his coaching career at Belmont, and I am confi dent that he is well-prepared to lead the Colonel baseball program.” --Jim Ward, Former EKU Head Coach

“Jason did a tremendous job for us over the seven years that he was here, not only with coaching but with recruiting as well. He is a tremendous asset that we’ll be losing, and we’ll miss him. However, I’m very excited for him, and I expect big things for the EKU baseball program.” --Dave Jarvis, Head Coach, Belmont University

“As a former Colonel, I’m extremely happy and excited for EKU that they have hired my former teammate as the new head baseball coach. EKU is not only gett ing an outstanding coach, but also a quality person in Jason. I’m sure Jason and his players will represent the university in a positive manner on and off the fi eld. No one worked harder as a player, and Jason has taken that approach to coaching as well. His players will play the game the way it is supposed to be played. EKU will be OVC champs in the very near future.” --Brandon Berger, former EKU and Kansas City Royals Outfi elder

“I’ve known Jason since he was a player at EKU, and if I had an all-opponent team, he would be on it. Not because he was the greatest player, but because he was a great competitor. When he was interviewing for the EKU job, I asked him ‘How bad do you want this job?’ and he said ‘This is the only job I’ve ever wanted.’ It is his dream job. Jason is a good coach, a good family man, and he will get the support of the community. EKU, and college baseball in general, is gett ing a great head coach with him.” --Steve Peterson, Head Coach, Middle Tennessee State University

“Jason is a very deserving young man, and he’s had a lot to do with Belmont’s success over the past few years. He is a very good recruiter and a very good teacher, and, obviously, he has something invested in that program. Overall, he is a great hire for EKU.” --Tim Corbin, Head Coach, Vanderbilt University

Assistant Coaches

Jerry EdwardsJerry Edwards

Assistant Coach • Third Year at EKU

Alma Mater: North Carolina Wesleyan, 1999

Jerry Edwards is in his third season of his second tenure as an assistant/pitching coach at EKU. Edwards served as the pitching coach at EKU from 1999-2001 under former skipper Jim Ward, and was the interim head coach of the Colonels in between the tenures of Ward and Elvis Domin-guez. “Jerry brings 10-plus years experience as a pitching coach at the college level,” head coach Jason Stein said. “As a recruiter, he is a tireless worker, and he has many connections throughout the country.” In 2009, Edwards inherited a pitching staff that had lost nine of 14 arms from the previous season. Only two of his pitchers recorded a win in 2008 and none of them worked more than 30 innings. Edwards, however, was able to piece together a staff that year composed primarily of raw under-classmen, freshmen, and career relief pitchers, and that staff was able to produce 27 wins. One of the raw underclassmen Edwards was able to transform in 2009 was sophomore left-hander Paul Duncan. In 2008, Duncan threw just 14.2 innings and compiled an ERA of 9.20. Under Edwards’ tutelage, however, Duncan recorded a team-high seven wins last season and was one of the OVC leaders with four complete games. Then, on May 1, Duncan, pitched just the sixth no-hitt er in school his-tory against Chicago State. Following the no-hitt er, Duncan was named a Louisville Slugger National Player of the Week by Collegiate Baseball magazine and OVC Pitcher of the Week. He was also named to that week’s College Baseball Foundation and Diamond Sports National All-Star Lineup. In 2010, Edwards developed a relatively unknown freshman right-hander out of Georgia named Anthony Bazzani. Bazzani was knocked around early in the season in starts against High Point and Southeast Missouri. However, under the persistent guidance of Edwards, Bazzani transformed into one of the top pitchers in the OVC by May. He was named OVC Pitcher of the Week after he worked all nine innings, allowed one earned run, scatt ered seven hits and struck out six against a tough Jacksonville State lineup on May 15. He then led the Colonels to their fi rst OVC Tournament win since 2007 as he dominated Murray State on May 26, going eight innings and nearly sett ing a neutral site OVC Tournament record with 10 strikeouts. Bazzani fi nished the season with a 5-3 record, led EKU in innings pitched (77.1) and opponent batt ing average (.282) and was named to the OVC All-Freshman Team. Through his recruiting eff orts, Edwards has begun to replenish the depth of EKU’s pitching staff . He has brought 24 new faces into to the

program in just over two years, and 13 of those faces have been pitchers. “Jerry is exceptional at fi nding talented student-athletes from across the country,” Stein said. “And, more importantly, he is great at instructing those student-athletes when they arrive on campus. We are lucky to have such an exceptional teacher of the game on staff .” Edwards arrived at EKU from Louisburg College in Louisburg, N.C., where he was the pitching coach since 2005. While coaching at the two-year college, Edwards saw nine of his pitchers signed by Division I schools, and two of his pitchers drafted and signed in the top 12 rounds of the MLB Draft. Before Louisburg, Edwards served as the head coach at Hiwassee Col-lege in Madisonville, Tenn. While at Hiwassee, Edwards saw two of his players taken in the MLB Draft. In between his stints at EKU and Hiwassee, Edwards was an Associate Scout for three years with the Atlanta Braves under the guidance of Area Scouting Supervisor Billy Best. While serving under Ward at EKU, Edwards helped the Colonels to their most recent OVC regular season championship in 2000. Before coaching at EKU, Edwards spent two years at North Carolina Wesleyan College as an assistant coach/recruiting coordinator under current North Carolina head coach, Mike Fox. During those two years, he helped lead North Carolina Wesleyan to the 1999 Division III National Championship. Edwards began his coaching career at the Enfi eld Academy in Whitak-ers, N.C. under the tutelage of current East Carolina head coach, Billy Godwin. Edwards earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education from North Carolina Wesleyan College in 1999, and he earned a master’s degree in physical education/sports administration from EKU in 2001. He lives in Richmond with his wife Amy and their two children Jacob (10) and Claire (8).

Alma Mater: Memphis, 2006

Ryan Pfl egerRyan Pfl eger

Assistant Coach • First Year at EKU

Alma Mater: Tusculum, 2008

John Peterson is beginning his fi rst season as an assistant coach for the Eastern Kentucky University baseball program. Peterson joins the Colo-nels after spending the last three seasons as a volunteer assistant coach at Middle Tennessee State University. His duties at EKU will include working with catchers and hitt ers and assisting with recruiting. He will also serve as the EKU baseball camps director. “John brings a wealth of knowledge to our baseball program,” Stein said. “He has won championships and he knows what it takes to be a consistent NCAA regional participant. He is an excellent teacher and com-municator, and he will work tirelessly at developing our student-athletes and assisting in recruiting quality student-athletes into our program.” While at MTSU, Peterson helped the Blue Raiders win the 2009 regular season and tournament championship in the Sun Belt, one of the premiere college baseball conferences in the country. The Blue Raiders also broke nearly every off ensive school record and were one of the top hitt ing teams in the country during Peterson’s three years at the school. On an individual level, Peterson, who was a catcher during his college playing years, worked with MTSU catcher Drew Robertson during his tenure in Murfreesboro and watched as Robertson was drafted in the 48th round by the Kansas City Royals in the 2010 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. Before his stint at MTSU, Peterson served as the hitt ing and catching coach at Jeff erson State Community College in Birmingham, Ala. His duties at Jeff erson State included assisting in recruiting, organization of practice and instructing players in hitt ing mechanics. While there, Peter-son worked with a NJCAA third-team All-American catcher. Prior to his stint at Jeff erson State, Peterson served as a student coach at the University of Memphis. As a student coach at Memphis, he worked with the pitching staff , implemented defensive drills with small groups and assisted with on-campus recruiting. Peterson played at Memphis as a catcher and fi rst baseman for two years. He transferred to Memphis from Cleveland State Community Col-lege in Cleveland, Tenn., where he played as a sophomore. He played ball his freshman year at Jackson State Community College in Jackson, Tenn. Along with his expanse of knowledge, Peterson touts a proven pedigree as he is the son of long-time and highly successful MTSU head baseball coach, Steve Peterson. Peterson married the former Myranda Howland in the summer of 2008 and the couple will reside in Richmond.

Ryan Pfl eger is entering his fi rst season as a volunteer assistant baseball coach with the Eastern Kentucky Colonels. Pfl eger arrives in Richmond following one season as an assistant coach at Columbia State Community College in Columbia, Tenn. His duties at EKU will include working with outfi elders, assisting with pitchers and performing other administrative tasks. “Ryan comes very highly recommended to our program and he is a great addition to our staff ,” head coach Jason Stein said. “He is an out-standing young coach and his future in the world of college baseball is a bright one.” Before his stint at Columbia State, Pfl eger was an assistant coach at Seymour High School in Seymour, Tenn. He was in charge of Seymour’s pitching staff and helped lead the Eagles to a regular season district cham-pionship and a run to the regional fi nals. In the summer of 2009, Pfl eger helped coach the Wisconsin Wood-chucks of the Northwood Collegiate Summer League, one of the country’s premiere summer college wooden bat leagues. He served as the Wood-chucks’ bullpen coach and was also in charge of the pitchers’ conditioning. Under Pfl eger’s tutelage, the Woodchucks compiled the fourth lowest ERA in the ten-team league. Pfl eger played his college ball at Tusculum College in Greeneville, Tenn. During his four years at Tusculum, he was a member of four confer-ence championship teams, two conference tournament championships and three NCAA participant teams. As a senior, Pfl eger went 3-0 with a 3.27 ERA while leading the Pioneer pitching staff in appearances (all out of the bullpen). Pfl eger graduated from Tusculum in 2008 with a degree in history.

2011 Outlook

Season Outlook Although its stated goal is to win championships, the EKU baseball program moved in the right direction in 2010 as the Colonels posted a record of 28-27, a team batt ing average above .300 for the second consecu-tive season and qualifi ed for the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament following a two-year hiatus. Picked by league head coaches to fi nish fi fth out of nine OVC teams in 2011, the Colonels return all but three players who saw signifi cant action last season and have their sights set on surprising people with a deep postseason run.

Pitching “Baseball begins and ends with pitching,” head coach Jason Stein said. “And, fortunately, our pitching staff was a bright spot in the fall and spring.” Plagued by graduation in 2009 and injuries in 2010, the Colonel pitch-ing staff now looks to be as strong, quality and quantity-wise, as it has been in years. Sophomore right-hander Anthony Bazzani, who turned in a masterful performance against Jacksonville State late last season and then perplexed Murray State with a near-record breaking performance in the OVC Tournament, will likely be the opening day starter. Senior left-hand-er Paul Duncan and senior right-hander Stephen Hefl er both worked more than 50 innings in 2010 and will compete for weekend jobs this season, as will senior Chris Hord and junior Matt Fyff e, both of whom missed all of last year due to Tommy John surgery. Freshman southpaw Kyle McGrath, who set the single game Kentucky state tournament record with 16 strike-outs against Boone County as a senior, has thrown well in the preseason and will be in the mix for an immediate weekend job. EKU also returns experienced short and middle relievers in senior closer Ryne Purcell, who tied a program record with 12 saves in 2010 and has been named to the 2011 NCBWA Preseason Stopper of the Year Watch List, junior right-hander Matt Harris, a 2010 OVC Pitcher of the Week who led the Colonels with 42 strikeouts a year ago, junior lefty Greg Terry, who was second on the team with a 5.76 ERA in 2010, sophomore right-hander Austin Rexroat, a midweek starter who picked up wins over Purdue and Marshall last season and solid, strike zone-pounding senior right-hander Macon Smith. Senior Jim Clancy, who served as the Colonels’ closer in 2008 and once struck out six of the fi rst seven batt ers he faced in an upset over then-No. 25 Louisville, is also back after missing all of last season due to Tommy John surgery. Junior college transfer Lincoln Wagner is slated to serve as Purcell’s set-up man and could also close games in a pinch. Freshmen right-handers Blake Bott oms and Brent Cobb, meanwhile, will earn innings based on their performances.

Predicted Order of Finish

Order of Finish Points1. Jacksonville State (4 fi rst-place votes) 592. Southeast Missouri (3) 553. Tennessee Tech (2) 544. Eastern Illinois 365. Eastern Kentucky 336. Murray State 287. Austin Peay 258. Morehead State 199. UT Martin 10(Per league head coaches)

Infi eld Despite losing a pair of All-OVC middle-of-the-lineup corner infi eld-ers in Anthony Ott rando and Jayson Langfels, the EKU infi eld returns the team’s leading hitt er from a year ago in junior shortstop Richie Rodriguez. Rodriguez batt ed .357 in 2010, started every game of the season in the leadoff position and was the fourth toughest batt er in the OVC to strike out, registering just 0.31 strikeouts per game. “Richie has exemplifi ed what an everyday shortstop can do and should, both off ensively and defensively,” Stein said. The other three infi eld positions, however, remain somewhat more fl uid. Senior Bryce Labhart has won the opening day job at fi rst base and, with his pesky att itude at the plate and .448 on-base percentage as a utility player last year, might bat leadoff . He will be pushed, though, by sopho-more Alex Hughes and freshman Mitch Durbin, both of whom are big left-handed bats with power. There has been great competition at second base and the job will fall to, or spread evenly among, junior Dustin Dun-lop, sophomore Matt Phipps or freshman Alex Arovits. Freshman Bryan Soloman has shown the ability to fi eld and hit for power and is, thus, the front runner at third base; however, he is also being pushed by the trio of Dunlop, Phipps and Arovits. “Defensively, we struggled in the infi eld in the fall,” Stein said. “But that has been cleaned up of late and we’re excited to see how the new guys mature.”

Anthony Bazzani will be counted upon to give the Colonels a chance to win every time he takes the mound in 2011

2011 Outlook

Outfi eld The Colonels return all three starting outfi elders from a year ago, but with a twist. Senior Ryan Faidley, who played primarily in left fi eld last year, will move to center fi eld and will be counted on to provide middle-of-the-lineup power. Sophomore Austin Grisham, who played primarily in center fi eld last year but can eff ectively play all three outfi eld positions, junior Michael Garcia, who played exclusively in right fi eld last year and junior Jacob Daniel, EKU’s lone preseason All-OVC selection at designated hitt er who has started just one game in the fi eld his entire career, will com-pete for the remaining corner outfi eld spots. Stein noted how improved Daniel’s defense has been in the preseason and how important that is to making the outfi eld positions more competition-based. Sophomore Jeff Emerich is EKU’s most valuable outfi elder off the bench as he can cover ground and provide pinch-hitt ing. Freshman Michael Bus-chmann will be used primarily as a pinch-hitt er and a designated hitt er.

A.J. Jamison has the most experience behind the plate of any Colonel, but will more than likely see most of his action as a designated hitt er in 2011

Ryan Faidley will be looked to for strong defense in the outfi eld, middle-of-the-lineup power and leadership

Catchers Freshman Sean Hagen enters the season as the front runner to replace the graduated Joey Stevens. Stein noted that Hagen has the potential to be a complete catcher with the ability to catch, block, hit and handle pitchers. Behind Hagen, though, the Colonels have two solid options in freshman Steve Ferraro, who saw signifi cant action in scrimmages this fall and spring, and junior A.J. Jamison, who will actually be the opening day starter at designated hitt er but has started 24 games behind the plate in his career. Junior Brian Shrimpton, who started six of seven games between March 13-20 due to injuries and tied for the team lead with three sacrifi ce bunts last year, provides additional depth at the catcher position in 2011.

Designated Hitter Junior Jacob Daniel, who hit .292 last season with six home runs, was named Preseason All-OVC at the designated hitt er position; however, he might see more time in the outfi eld this season and will, thus, platoon with junior A.J. Jamison at DH. Jamison suff ered through numerous inju-ries in 2010 and only recorded 24 at-bats, but he proved he still had pop in his bat when he played hobbled hero in the OVC Tournament by coming off the bench cold and providing a pinch-hit RBI double in the top of the ninth that sparked a come-from-behind 4-3 win over Murray State. A slew of underclassmen will provide additional depth at DH, includ-ing sophomore Alex Hughes and freshmen Michael Buschmann and Mitch Durbin.

Schedule The Colonels open the season in Malibu, Calif. with a series against Pepperdine, will host such non-conference foes as Penn State, Western Carolina and UNC Asheville and will travel to play at such power confer-ence opponents as Kentucky and West Virginia in 2011. “Our players have seen this tough schedule and are excited about the challenges it poses,” Stein said. “Hopefully it has motivated them throughout the off season to improve on their weaknesses and their strengths.” EKU’s conference schedule begins on the weekend of March 26-27 when the Colonels travel to Charleston, Ill. to play Eastern Illinois. The Colonels will host conference weekends against Southeast Missouri (April 2-3), Morehead State (April 16-17), UT Martin (April 22-23) and Murray State (May 7-8). They will go on the road for the fi nal conference weekend of the season (May 14-15) to face the defending OVC champion Jackson-ville State. The OVC Tournament will again be held at Pringles Park in Jackson, Tenn.
