The Facility Now... Radford University transformed its baseball program in April of 2011 by opening a brand-new stadium and mak-ing the first significant adjustment to its home park since opening in 1986. RU Baseball Stadium opened on April 8, 2011 when the Highlanders hosted VMI in the first game of a Big South series and changed the baseball experience in the New River Valley. A project unlike any before in the history of RU athlet-ics, the stadium was completely privately funded through the Radford University Athletics Foundation, through the efforts of the RAC. It gives the program a stadium that is capable of hosting high-level competition, including the Big South Tournament. Using structural elements of the existing facility, a 700-seat grandstand was constructed on top. Spectators closer to the action than ever before, with the first row of red, chair-backed seats beginning three feet from the backstop. Sight lines in the grandstand are directed at the

center of the field of play. A spacious main concourse level is positioned at the top of the grandstand. In addition, a new pressbox and state-of-the-art sound system provided the finishing touches. For the first time ever, the Highlanders will have the capability to host night games. The stadium features lighting standards that meet the requirements of NCAA Regional Tournament host sites. In addition to the stadium, the actual grounds and dugouts saw a complete overhaul in the fall of 2009, setting the stage for the stadium improvements. One of the finest natural playing surfaces in the region, Carolina Green Corp. Athletic Field Construction was in charge of a project that included a new sod, a laser-graded surface of sand-based Tuckahoe bluegrass, and a new irrigation and drainage system underneath the field. New dugouts were also built to fit the changing needs of the program. Both dugouts are 74 feet long, include a deeper bench area with steps up to the field, restrooms, and expanded storage space on either side.

“Recruiting is the lifeline of a program and a

recruit’s first impression of a facility lasts a long

time,” Joe Raccuia.

Baseball Stadium

“The future plans of a clubhouse, offices and hitting facility

will take the program to the next level,” Raccuia.

Not to be too sentimental, but I feel very proud to know these improvements that have been needed for such a long time occurred while I was the head coach. I very much feel like this is one of the rea-sons why I came back to Radford,” Raccuia.

Player Development While so much of the focus for collegiate baseball players is geared on field, Radford’s baseball program takes the time to develop well-rounded athletes and individuals. For the Highlanders, the fall season sets the stage for both the up-coming regular season, as well as a player’s commitment to the off-field training and life skills necessary to becoming a well-rounded student-athlete.

The Highlander Challenge, which was completed for the fifth time un-der head coach Joe Raccuia, is a physical component of the offseason that involves strength, endurance and strategy, and is completely unique to the week-long period of the challenge. It’s brother-versus-brother, as the Highlanders are divided into two competing teams led by senior captains. Think you can push yourself to your physical limit? You’ll have to during the challenge.

Along with the challenge, the Highlanders take on a yearly community service project. This year, they teamed up with a selected group of seventh graders at Dalton Middle School in Radford to impart leadership values. The ultimate goal was for the seventh graders working with the Highlanders to serve as mentors to elementary school-aged children and prepare them for their next steps in school and life.

“Player development is what we stress and now with the

hitting facility, the outdoor cages, the weight room, the

academic center and now with the field renovations, we

are starting to get all the pieces in place to continue to

show our commitment level to our players and recruits,”

Joe Raccuia.

A place the Highlanders call home anytime and in any weather, the RU Baseball Indoor Facility includes three 90 foot batting cages, with the necessary equipment and amenities for live pitching, machine pitching, pitcher’s bullpens, and defensive drills. Located adjacent to campus, the indoor facility can serve the Radford baseball team and Joe Raccuia Base-ball Camps year-round, anytime the weather restricts outdoor practice or events. At 7200 square feet, indoor facility rivals the facilities of several top schools and conferences throughout the southeast region and across college baseball.

Radford AthleticsSince being introduced as Radford University’s Director of Athletics

in the fall of 2007, Radford native Robert Lineburg has helped usher in a new era of Highlander athletics, marked by unprecedented on-and off-field improvements and successes.

In his short time with the department, Lineburg has been the cata-lyst for a number of changes, particularly in areas such as facilities, personnel and strategic planning.

His most visible influences to date have been on the Dedmon Cen-ter and Radford University’s new 700-seat baseball stadium.

Beginning in the spring of 2008, the Dedmon Center, the center-piece of Highlander athletics, underwent transformations to the arena, including a new steel-supported roof, a new basketball floor, renovated athletic offices, a new-look natatorium, and improved athletic locker, training, and medical facilities.

Along with the initial upgrades to the Dedmon Center, an improved state-of-the-art strength and conditioning room, new ticket office and Learning Enhancement Center (LEC), which houses student-athlete academic support, were completed/added in 2009.

In 2010, facility upgrades included a new high-tech videoboard / sound system to the Dedmon Center as well as a new playing surface / irrigation system and dugouts to the Radford University Baseball Field.

This past spring, Radford transformed its baseball program in April of 2011 by opening a brand-new stadium and making the first signifi-cant adjustment to its home park since opening in 1986. For the first time ever, the Highlanders have the capability to host night games. The stadium features lighting standards that meet the requirements of NCAA Regional Tournament host sites.

In June, Robert Lineburg introduced Mike Jones as Radford Univer-sity’s 7th head men’s basketball coach.

Lineburg has also overseen the hires of six new head coaches as well as seven new athletic administrators. His other hires include women’s basketball head coach Taj Njongba, head volleyball coach Marci Jenkins, women’s head golf coach Jeff Beeler, head men’s soc-cer coach Marc Reeves and the promotion of track and field interim director Brent Chumbley to head coaches’ status. Among the adminis-trators added in Lineburg’s tenure are executive associate A.D. Randy Butt, head athletic trainer Chad Hyatt, assistant A.D. for communica-tions Tom Galbraith, director of student-athlete support services/senior women’s administrator Stephanie Ballein and Director of Facilities Marcus Attles.

As a result of the changes, Radford achieved a banner year in 2008-09: women’s soccer, men’s basketball, men’s tennis and softball claimed Big South conference crowns and advanced to NCAA Tourna-ment play. Women’s soccer advanced to its fourth tournament, men’s basketball won the Big South regular-season and tournament title to advance to the NCAAs for the first time since 1998, men’s tennis made its third-straight appearance, and softball appeared for the first time and won Radford’s first-ever NCAA tournament game in any sport.

Lineburg and the Highlanders backed their success in 2008-09 with a men’s tennis and softball Big South regular season title in 2009-10. Mickey Dean’s softball team went on to win their second straight con-ference tournament crown before advancing to the Athens, Georgia Regional final with two more NCAA Tournament victories.

The successes on the field continued in 2010-11 as Radford captured three more Big South titles. Women’s soccer and softball claimed regular season crowns, while men’s tennis advanced to the NCAA Tournament with their fourth league tournament championship in five years.

Along with their competitive success, the Highlanders have defined the true meaning of “student-athlete” during Lineburg’s tenure. For the second consecutive year, Radford led all Big South institutions by placing 58.3 percent of its student-athletes on the conference’s

Presidential Honor Roll. In 2008-09, the Highlanders had 57.9 percent of their students on the list.

Along with their competitive success, the Highlanders have defined the true meaning of “student-athlete” during Lineburg’s tenure. For the second consecutive year, Radford led all Big South institutions by placing 58.3 percent of its student-athletes on the conference’s Presidential Honor Roll. In 2008-09, the Highlanders had 57.9 percent of their students on the list.

He and his staff have also been responsible for creating a six-year strategic plan for the Radford athletic department and building an athletics facilities master plan. Additional achievements include ushering in a new athletics Internet site (RadfordAthletics.com), and helping implement a new ticket system (Ticket Return). Lineburg and his staff have also hosted top-level competition, with five Big South championships taking place on the Radford campus from 2008-11 (men’s basketball, track & field, softball, men’s tennis and volleyball).

In addition to making an impact on Radford athletics, Lineburg is also involved in a number of different organizations and committees. He is the chairman of the Big South Conference Subcommittee on Basketball Improvement, a member of the Big South ad-hoc Committee on Basketball Issues, a member of the selection committee to select Radford Univer-sity’s Vice President for Advancement, and most recently, was selected to serve on the NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Issues Committee. Prior to becoming Radford’s third Director of Athletics, Lineburg’s corporate knowl-edge was groomed as a marketing associate with Peloton Real Estate Part-ners in Dallas, Texas.

Along with his business experience, Lineburg spent 15 seasons as a college basketball coach, including time as Southern Methodist’s (Dallas, Texas) interim head coach. Prior to serving as the Mustangs interim head coach, Lineburg spent eight years as an assistant coach at SMU. Following his interim tenure, he served two more seasons as an assistant coach at Southern Methodist.

Lineburg’s coaching resume also includes assistant coaching posi-tions with the men’s basketball programs at James Madison University and Emory & Henry College, as well as with the Dallas Mavericks summer league team. His coaching experience also took him through the Big South, as he spent time on the sideline at UNC Greensboro.

A 1991 graduate of Roanoke College, Lineburg started his collegiate basketball career as a Radford Highlander, where he was a two-year let-terman before transferring to nearby Roanoke College to play his final two years.

He earned his Bachelor’s Degree in political science with a minor in history. In 1995, he received a Master’s Degree in education from Virginia Tech, where he was also a graduate assistant on the men’s basketball staff.

Lineburg is the son of retired Radford High School football coach and athletic director Norman Lineburg and the brother of Dr. Mark Lineburg, the Superintendent of Bristol City Schools, Paul Lineburg, the Assistant Prin-cipal at Cave Spring H.S. and Wayne Lineburg, who is the associate head football coach at the University of Richmond.

A component that is vital to Radford student-athletes is the strength and conditioning program directed by Strength and Conditioning Coach Scott Ben-nett. Highlander Athletics has long been recognized as one of the leaders among Mid-Atlantic schools in its conditioning and strength training. It has been an instrumental part in the success of Radford University sports through the years. Under the direction of Bennett and Assistant Strength and Conditioning coaches Tim Ridley and Michele Huffman, the program is designed to help each student-athlete reach his or her full potential in their respective sport. Each Radford University student-athlete has strength and conditioning pro-grams unique to their goals as a player. This program, developed by Bennett, helps prepare Radford student-athletes for the long and rigorous in-season schedule. The Strength and Conditioning staff at Radford University is committed to excellence in competition and in life.

Scott BennettDirector

Bringing 23 years of experience in the strength and conditioning field, Scott Bennett will oversee the day-to-day operations of the strength and conditioning program. In his career, Bennett has coached a multitude of collegiate athletes who have gone forward to find careers in the professional ranks (over 30 in the NFL), as well as conference champions, national champions, world record holders, and Olympians. As a professional, he has risen to the top of the strength and conditioning field. Bennett was recently awarded the honor of being part of the NSCA’s (Na-tional Strength and Conditioning Association) Coaches Registry at the Emeritus level—the highest level awarded in the field. Perhaps the honor standing out the most in his impressive list of accolades is his accreditation as a Master Strength and Conditioning Coach with the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Association (CSCCa) since 2006. At the time, there were only 62 certified at this level in the world. Today, there are roughly 100 practicing at the Master’s level.

Strength & ConditioningPride In Preparation

The players in our program embrace the importance of their preparation. As a staff, we in turn embrace the latest and most cut-ting edge programming available. It is my goal to make sure that every student-ath-lete on our team has a positive training experience throughout the span of their off and in season.,” Bennett.

Ryan Speier, the second Radford player to play in the major leagues, spent the 2011 season the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles of the Pacific League, part of Japan’s major leagues (NPB). Speier played his first season in Japan after four major league sea-sons with with Colorado Rockies (2005-09). He picked up eight saves, but his 2011 season was drastically impacted by the post-earthquake tsunami that struck the Japanese coast and made world headlines. Speier, a native of Springfield, Va., was a standout pitcher for the Highlanders from 1998-2001. He signed with the Colorado Rockies as a free agent in 2001, and made the 25-man Opening Day roster in 2005.

Highlanders ProsA supplemental First Round pick (46th overall), Butler’s success at Rad-ford carried over to his first professional season. The first player in Big South history to be selected int eh MLB Draft’s first round, Butler was named to the Pioneer League’s postseason All-Star team, a group that in-cluded just five pitchers. He was 7-1 in 13 appearances, 12 starts and led the league with a 2.13 ERA, nearly a run-and-a-half better than the next closest starting pitcher. Butler’s WHIP (walks and hits/innings pitched) was also tops in the circuit. In his first four professional starts, he picked up four wins and allowed just three runs in 25 innings of work. In 2012, he became the program’s first BIg South Pitcher of the Year when he shared the honors after a stellar junior campaign. Butler set a school record with a 2.20 ERA, going 7-4 in 14 starts, while holding op-ponents to a .217 batting average.

“Radford changed me. I grew up a lot over the three years. School and living away from home taught me to be responsible for everything,” Butler.

“I had a great time in my three years year. It was like having another family,” Butler on the team.

Highlanders Pros Phil Leftwich became the first Radford athlete in the major leagues when he joined the California Angels in 1993. The Angels’ top selec-tion in the 1990 Major League draft, he was taken in the second round at pick No. 64. Only a handful of Big South players have ever been selected with a higher pick than Leftwich. A Lynchburg, Va., native, Leftwich was RU’s first all-conference and all-state pitcher. He helped Radford’s young baseball program turn the corner, leading the Highlanders to their first winning season in 1989. Leftwich was 7-2 with a 2.88 ERA for the 27-19 Highlanders that year, in only their fifth season of varsity play. Overall, he was 19-14, pitch-ing 25 complete games and 265 innings from 1988-1990. He was named All-Big South in 1988 and 1989.

Leftwich left RU with 13 school pitching records and remain’s the school’s career leader in ERA (3.24) and complete games (25). He made his major league debut on July 29, 1993 against the Oakland A’s and posted a career-low 3.79 ERA in 12 starts as a rookie. His first career win was August 15 of that year at Seattle. Leftwich started 34 career games for the Angels, earned nine wins and posted a 4.99 ERA. Leftwich was inducted into the Radford University Athletic Hall of Fame as part of its inaugural class in 1995.

Former All-BIg South pick Reggie Keen is set to begin his fourth season in the Milwaukee Brewers organization in 2012. Keen, a native of Danville, walked on at Radford and finished as one of the school’s leaders in career batting average and stolen bases. He signed as an undrafted free agent in the summer of 2010 with the Brewers. Keen played his first full season in 2011 with the Wisconsin Timber Rattlers (A). Prior to the season, Keen played in five Cac-tus League games for parent club Milwaukee, going 1-for-5 for the spring with a double against the Angels on March 24. In 2012, Keen put together another standout professional season, playing in a career-high 125 games. His 45 stolen bases were second in the Florida State League and among the top-10 in all of Class A-Advanced baseball. Keen, the everyday center fielder and No. 2 hitter in the order, led the Manatees in at-bats and was second on the club with 119 hits.

Hillsinger missed two-thirds of the profes-sional short season after rehabbing a knee injury suffered in late April while at Radford. The 22nd-round pick played sparingly to close out the season, with just 22 at-bats in nine games. However, Hillsinger had a pair

of multi-hit games, and walked more times than he struck out. Hills-inger continued his season with A’s in the Arizona Instructional League.

Peterson, a native of Raleigh, N.C., pitched close to home in his first professional season and didn’t disappoint, nearly helping his team to the Appalachian League champion-ship. A free agent signee following the draft, Peterson was a shutdown reliever for the

Royals, posting a 1.16 ERA and allowing opponents to hit a micro-scopic .187 off of him. Over a 10-game stretch to close out the regular seasn, Peterson allowed only one earned run in 16 2/3 innings. Peter-son finished second in the Appalachian League with 6 wins.

Development Away From the New River Valley

Highlander players continue to improve as they make their way through the Radford baseball program. However, when they are not under the guidance of the coaching staff, the Highlanders use summer baseball leagues to improve their skill set and develop while playing against high-level competition.

“All they have to worry about is waking up and playing baseball,” said Raccuia. “It has definitely helped the program and given us national exposure.”

BIG SOUTH CONFERENCE

HOW & WHERE WE TRAVEL...Radford competes in a southern conference and plays all of its games south of the Mason-Dixon line. The Highlanders regularly play in-state rivals Virginia Tech, Virginia and James Madison, along with Old Dominion and George Mason.

When it comes to conference play, Radford ventures to the states of North and South Carolina as well as playing in-state foes Liberty, Longwood and VMI on a yearly basis.
