U T A H B A S E B A L L S E A S O N O U T L O O K

The Utah baseball team enters a new era as it joins one of the best baseball leagues in the country in the Pac-12 conference.

Utah returns a solid core of players from last year’s team, including all-conference players Shaun Cooper (outfield), James Brooks (shortstop), Trey Nielsen (third base) and Tyler Wagner (pitcher). However, the Utes lose first-team All-American C.J. Cron and all-conference pitcher Rick Anton. Cron was a first-round MLB draft pick, while Anton was drafted in the eighth round.

“The core of our team is back minus C.J. and Anton,” Utah head coach Bill Kinneberg said. “Some of the new guys are really going to make an impact for us – several of our junior college players are capable of making the adjustment to Division I baseball, including Parker Morin, Ethan Leiter and Ryan Cooperstone. Some of the role players from last year will hopefully improve and become really good players for us.

“The biggest thing for us is that our depth is going to be challenged. Keeping injuries at a minimum is going to be a key for us. Where we have to improve - and we think we’ve done an adequate job at this - is depth in the lineup and depth in the bullpen. That’s where that grind comes out. The third game of the series is going to be really hard, but hopefully we can manage that and have guys step up for us.”

The Utes play five teams ranked in the Baseball America preseason top 25 – Stanford, UCLA, Arizona, Arizona State and Oregon State. Non-conference games include a three-game series against BYU, and a trip to the Kleberg Bank College Classic in Corpus Christi, Texas.

“All 10 teams that we’re going to play against in the Pac-12 are quality, high-powered baseball teams,” Kinneberg said. “It’s going to be a challenge week-in and week-out, and we need to rise to the occasion. It’s a hard grind in this league. There are no breathers.”

SEASON OUTLOOK

INFIELDUtah returns two of its four starting

infielders in Brooks and Nielsen. Brooks finished second in the conference in batting average (.372) and runs scored (55). He tied for eighth in the NCAA in doubles (26) and was tied for second nationally in doubles per game (0.53). Nielsen was a Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American who was sixth in the conference in slugging percentage (.572). He tied for fourth in the league with nine home runs.

“It’s comforting to have both of those guys returning,” Kinneberg said.

The right side of the field will feature new faces. Leiter has won the battle early to start at first base. He played two years at Yavapai CC and hit .301 as a sophomore with a .419 on-base percentage. Battling at second base will be junior Ryan Cooperstone and sophomore Cory Hunt. Cooperstone was an honorable-mention all-region selection at the College of Southern Idaho, hitting .352 last year. Hunt

played in 14 games as a freshman, making four starts.

“We have three new guys who haven’t really played Division I baseball, so hopefully they mature quickly and make that jump and really contribute,” Kinneberg said. “We need our role players to step up for us to be successful.”

OUTFIELDCooper, who was named the Perfect

Game Summer Player of the Year during summer ball and was selected as a preseason Louisville Slugger All-American, finished sixth in the league in batting average (.332) and was third in slugging percentage (.589) last season. He tied for 10th in the NCAA with seven triples.

“Cooper is going to be in the lineup,” Kinneberg said. “We want him in left field, although he may have to play some right field. He’ll hit in the middle of our lineup.”

Utah has a variety of players who rotated through the outfield last season, and many of them will see time again this

James Brooks was tied for second in the NCAA last season in doubles per game.

Shaun Cooper was tied for 10th in the NCAA in triples last season.

SEASON OUTLOOK

year as they fight for a starting spot early in the season. Sophomore Josh Alexander, senior Tyson Gonzalez, senior Gavin Green and junior Tyler Relf all have significant experience in the outfield.

“We have a lot of interchangeable parts in the outfield, and it’s a work in progress,” Kinneberg said. “Hopefully by the time we start conference play we’ll have a set lineup out there.”

PITCHERSThe pitching staff is led by closer Wagner

and junior starter Zach Adams, who has struggled with injuries throughout his career but is healthy to start this season. Last year Wagner led the conference and ranked 26th in the NCAA with 12 saves, which also set a single-season record at Utah. He allowed just eight earned runs and had a 2.04 ERA. Adams pitched five games, and his 36 strikeouts were leading the team when he was injured. He had a 2.40 ERA with a 2-0 record, including a win over No. 16 Baylor.

“Both Wags and Adams have a chance to have really great years,” Kinneberg said. “They are healthy and strong and have worked extremely hard to get where they’re at today.”

Junior Joe Pond made 12 starts last season and had a 4.36 ERA with a 4-4 record. His 65 strikeouts ranked 10th in the conference, and he did not allow a home run all season.

Also slated to start on the mound this season are sophomore Ben Mordini and newcomer Tanner Tripp. Mordini made 11 appearances with three starts last year. Tripp was an all-region player at South Mountain CC who had 12 wins.

“Joe Pond is pitching better than he ever has, so we feel like our Friday/Saturday starters are in good shape at this point,” Kinneberg said. “Tripp and Mordini will start the other two games of a four-game set, or on Sunday/Tuesday.”

The Utes will look to several players in their bullpen for the late innings. Brock Duke was fifth in the conference with six

wins last year. Newcomer Tony Vocca had a 9-5 record as a sophomore at Yavapai CC. Josh Chapman had two saves last season, appearing in 12 games.

“A key for us will be our bullpen,” Kinneberg said. “Vocca, Chapman and Duke will be important for us in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings so that we can get to Wagner in a winnable situation.”

CATCHERSThe Utes have a pair of quality players

behind the plate in two-year starter Jo Jo Sharrar and newcomer Morin. Sharrar hit .236 last season, making 43 starts. Morin was a first-team all-region player at the College of Southern Idaho, hitting .372.

“We have a really good tandem of catchers with Parker and Jo Jo,” Kinneberg said. “Parker has really established himself at the plate and is one of our better hitters. He will be in the lineup every day. Early in the year they will share time behind the plate. We feel really good about our catching situation.”

Tyler Wagner led the conference and ranked 26th in the NCAA in saves last year.

Zach Adams has pitched strong in his two seasons, despite struggling with injuries.

Jo Jo Sharrar is in his fourth season behind the plate for the Utes.

U T A H B A S E B A L L C O A C H E S A N D S T A F F

The dedicated and personable Bill Kinneberg is in his ninth season at the helm of the University of Utah baseball team. He was named head coach of the program on Sept. 15, 2004, marking his second stint in the Utes’ dugout. This season he leads Utah into a new era in their first season in the Pac-12.

Kinneberg led Utah back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1960 in 2009, as the Utes won their first Mountain West Conference tournament with a 9-3 win over San Diego State in the championship game. Utah won two games at NCAA’s, defeating Gonzaga and Georgia Southern in the Fullerton Regional.

Several players have earned national honors under Kinneberg. C.J. Cron was a two-time first-team All-American in 2010 and 2011, a Golden Spikes Award semifinalist, the two-time District Player of the Year and a two-time MWC Player of the Year. Ryan Khoury earned first-team All-America honors in 2006, and was also District Player of the Year and MWC Player of the Year.

Kinneberg has had three players drafted in the first 10 rounds out of Utah, including the Utes’ first-ever first-round selection in 2011, when Cron was the 17th overall pick. Stephen Fife was a third-round pick in 2008, while Rick Anton went in the eighth round in 2011.

Kinneberg’s teams have steadily moved up in the conference standings each year and several have rewritten the record books. Cron shattered the career batting average mark during his three seasons. Jay Brossman holds records for hits, doubles and total bases. Khoury holds the school record for career runs scored and Corey Shimada ranks first in the record books for triples, stolen bases, runs scored and walks. Current pitcher Tyler Wagner has a school-record 15 career saves.

In 16 seasons as a head coach at the NCAA Division I level, Kinneberg has a record of 452-408. He earned his 400th career victory in the 2009 NCAA tournament with a win over Gonzaga.

Kinneberg has coached collegiate baseball for 27 years. His teams established school records for victories in a season at UTEP in 1985, Wyoming in 1990 and Utah in 1996.

During Kinneberg’s first stint as Utah’s head coach in 1996, he led the Utes to a 30-22 record. His squad tied for third place in the Western Athletic Conference’s Northern Division and three players earned all-WAC honors.

Kinneberg has also made his mark on the national scene. In 2010 he served as the head coach of the US National Team that won a silver medal at the FISU World University Championships in Japan.

Kinneberg has done several stints with USA Baseball. He served as the pitching coach in 2007 and 1999. The 2007 pitching staff turned in a 25-12 mark in international competition, and finished with a scant 1.93 earned-run average. Kinneberg also spent several years as director of the organization’s athlete development program.

Prior to joining the Utah staff, Kinneberg worked for the Chicago White Sox organization as a minor league pitching coach.

From 1996 through 2001, Kinneberg was the associate head coach at the University of Arizona. The Wildcats were 124-102 and advanced to an NCAA Regional during Kinneberg’s tenure. He served an assistant baseball coach at Arizona State from 1992 through 1994. During the 1993 and 1994 seasons, Kinneberg helped lead the Sun Devils to back-to-back appearances in the College World Series.

Kinneberg was the head baseball coach at Wyoming from 1986 through 1992. While in charge of the Cowboys’ program, Kinneberg guided his team to the WAC playoffs in five of his seven seasons. In 1990, he earned WAC Coach of the Year honors, leading Wyoming to a 37-18 record. Kinneberg coached 16 All-WAC players while in Laramie.

Kinneberg served as head coach at UTEP in 1985. Prior to that, he was an assistant at UTEP for four seasons.

In addition to his duties with USA Baseball, Kinneberg worked with the Italian Olympic team in 1984, serving as pitching coach.

Kinneberg is a 1980 graduate of Arizona. He played two years with the Wildcats, going 7-4 on the mound with seven saves, including an appearance in the 1979 College World Series. Kinneberg earned a master’s degree from UTEP in 1982.

Kinneberg and his wife Janet reside in Sandy, Utah. They have two children, Joe (11) and David (9).

MIKE CRAWFORDPitching Coach4th Season

Mike Crawford is in his fourth year as the pitching coach for the University of Utah.

The Utes have consistently been towards the top of the league in several pitching categories. Last season, Utah led the conference in fewest hits, doubles and home runs allowed. In 2010, Utah led the conference in fewest walks, hits and home runs allowed. The team finished second in opposing batting average and saves, behind only College World Series participant TCU.

Rick Anton led the conference in wins and ranked third in strikeouts in 2011. Anton was an eighth-round draft pick to the Dodgers. Tyler Wagner set a school record with 12 saves, which ranked 26th in the NCAA.

In his first year in 2009, Crawford coached MLB draft picks Brian Budrow and Jordan Whatcott. Utah also set a school record for strikeouts en route to winning the MWC Tournament.

Crawford previously spent two seasons as associate head coach at Yavapai College where the Roughriders were 41-16-1 in 2008. They climbed to as high as No. 9 in the national polls, and won their league with a 30-8 mark. Crawford’s pitching staff was one of six schools in the 13-team league with an earned-run average below 4.00 (3.81). Yavapai was fourth in the conference strikeouts (393).

From 2002-05, Crawford was the pitching coach and recruiting coordinator at Cochise College in Douglas, Ariz. He helped the Apaches to a pair of second-place league finishes (2004, 2005), and the 2005 pitching staff had the lowest earned-run average in the conference (2.66). As CC recruiting coordinator, he saw three of his four recruiting classes play for a regional championship. Before that he worked two seasons at Pima College in Tucson, Ariz.

Crawford played at the University of Arizona from 1999-2000. He was a starting pitcher for the Wildcats both years and was named the Pac-10 Pitcher of Week in May, 1999. He graduated from UA in 2001 with a bachelor’s of science in communication and went on to get his master’s from the United States Sports Academy in 2008.

The Tucson native’s playing career began at Yavapai College as a starting pitcher in 1997-98. In 1998, he was named the Arizona Community College Athletic Conference (ACCAC) Pitcher of the Year.

Crawford and his wife, Sarah, have a six-year-old son, Kolby.

BRYAN KINNEBERGHitting Coach5th Season

Assistant coach Bryan Kinneberg is in his fifth season on the University of Utah coaching staff. He serves as hitting coach and is the third base coach.

Over the past three seasons, Kinneberg coached C.J. Cron into one of the best hitters in the country. Cron, who was a two-time first-team All-American and a Golden Spikes Award Semifinalist, was a first-round draft pick in 2011. Cron and James Brooks finished first and second in the MWC last year in batting average, while Cron led the nation in slugging percentage.

In 2008, Utah led the conference with a .323 batting average. Kinneberg previously spent two years at Oklahoma State as its

volunteer assistant coach. At OSU, he assisted with the hitters and infielders and coached first base. The Cowboys led the Big 12 in nearly every offensive statistical category in 2007, including batting average (.319), doubles (144), home runs (86) and slugging percentage (.518). In addition, the team fielded at a .971 clip.

While on staff at OSU, Kinneberg saw the team make two postseason appearances. In 2007, the Cowboys were one win away from the College World Series, falling to Louisville in the third game of the Super Regional. OSU went 83-41 while Kinneberg was on staff, and had a school record 11 players taken in the MLB draft in 2007.

Kinneberg played at North Carolina State where he was part of two NCAA Regional teams. He also played for Phoenix College in Peoria, Ariz. Kinneberg was an all-district player there, ranking among the league’s best hitters. Phoenix played in the NJCAA national title game in 2001.

He graduated from NC State in 2005 with a degree in philosophy. Kinneberg and his wife Stephanie have a son Gavin and daughter Ella

Grace.

Employment opportunities, culture, quality of life and recreation are some of the reasons why Salt Lake City is consistently named one of the nation’s best cities. In the June 2010 issue of Kiplinger’s Personal Finance Magazine, Salt Lake City was No. 5 on its list of the “10 Best Cities for the Next Decade.” Forbes Magazine selected Salt Lake City as “The Best City for Jobs” in both 2007 and 2008, and it was termed the “Fittest City in the Nation” in 2009 by Men’s Fitness magazine. Nestled between the Wasatch and Oquirrh Mountain ranges and the Great Salt Lake, the city is located in one of the most picturesque places on earth. The lowest point within city boundaries is 4,210 feet near the Great Salt Lake, and the highest is Grandview Peak at 9,410 feet. The Great Salt Lake (48 miles wide and 90 miles long) is the world’s second largest saltwater lake and the largest lake in the western United States. The city is the cultural, financial, educational, technological, commercial and communications hub of the

Intermountain West. Utah was named the most technologically advanced state in the 2008 Digital States Survey and rated as one of the top 10 most socially networked cities in America. Salt Lake is also home to world-renowned medical and technology industries. Cultural and ethnic activities flourish in Salt Lake City and its vibrant downtown features dining, shopping, music and ethnic festivals, art galleries, professional symphony, opera, theater and dance. The annual Sundance Film Festival, which is the largest independent film festival in the U.S., attracts movie stars, celebrities and thousands of film buffs to the area every year. According to P3/Production Update Magazine, Utah is one of the “10 Best States in the Nation for Film.” Professional sports franchises in Salt Lake City include the Utah Jazz (NBA), Real Salt Lake (Major League Soccer), Salt Lake Bees (AAA baseball), Utah Blaze (Arena Football) and Utah Grizzlies (East Coast Hockey League).

Salt Lake City, home to the University of Utah and the state’s capital city, offers an unrivaled blend of metropolitan life and recreational opportunities. With 186,440 residents, Salt Lake City is the largest city in the state and its metro population of 1,029,655 ranks in the top 50 in the United States. Yet Salt Lake City maintains the charm of a small western city.

The $1.5 million, 17,000 square foot Alex Smith Strength & Conditioning Center was completed in the summer of 2009.



STRENGTH & CONDITIONING

Strength TrainingThe idea is centered on accelerat-ing quicker than our opponent. We will do this by concentrat-ing on quick and explosive lifts, combined with quick and explo-sive agility, sprint and plyometric drills.

Speed DevelopmentEach running session will include acceleration drills more than any other drills. The most important aspect of speed development is the athlete must work at maximal effort in each and every drill.

FlexibilityIt is a traditional part of every strength and conditioning pro-gram. When the athlete is not able to put a body joint through the proper range of motion, it can affect performance in various ways.

Mental ToughnessThese weight training or condi-tioning sessions push the body way beyond comfort levels, and in some cases, to utter exhaustion.

This allows the student-athlete to develop capacity to push through barriers created by pain and fa-tigue.

ConditioningConditioning is best obtained by working the energy system with volume. Conditioning should be cycled with light, medium and heavy days to avoid over-training. Recovery is often better than work.

Injury PreventionThe Utah athlete will be expected to work harder than anyone else when he/she is injured. We will work with the athletic training staff to coordinate efforts to bring the athlete back to the playing field as quickly as possible.

MotivatingWe will coach in a very positive manner, always reinforcing our belief in an athlete as a champion in the making. No one out-works, out-hustles or has more ability than a Utah student-athlete.

UTAH ATHLETICS HISTORY

Football is 623-428-31 in its 117-year history. In the mid-1990s, the Utes evolved from a conference contender to a national force and they now play to sold-out crowds in 45,017-seat Rice-Eccles Stadium. The original “BCS Buster,” Utah is 2-0 in BCS bowl games with wins over Alabama (2009 Sugar Bowl) and Pittsburgh (2005 Fiesta Bowl). The Utes are tied with USC for the second-longest bowl win streak all-time, winning nine in a row from 1999-2009. Utah has finished in the nation’s Top 25 six times, including a No. 2 ranking in 2008 and a No. 4 finish in 2004. Men’s Basketball has thrived throughout its history, winning an NCAA Championship in 1944 and finishing as the NCAA runner-up in 1998. Utah, which also won national championships in 1916 (AAU) and 1947 (NIT), has advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16 nine times. The Utes rank 11th in the nation in both all-time victories (1,664) and winning percentage (65.1%), and are in the top 10 in conference titles (29). Utah’s 27 NCAA Tournament appearances and 35 NCAA Tournament wins rate among the top 25 programs. Women’s Gymnastics boasts 10 national championships and eight runner-up finishes. Utah is the only school to qualify for all 30 NCAA Gymnastics Championships and has made 36 consecutive national championship appearances. One of the best attended women’s sports in NCAA history, the Ute gymnasts

have drawn over 11,000 fans a meet for the past 21 years, including an NCAA-record 14,213 in 2010. Women’s Basketball has averaged over 20 wins a season since its start back in 1974-75. The Ute women have received 17 NCAA Tournament invites since 1982—advancing to the Sweet 16 twice and the Elite Eight once. They have won 22 conference championships. The Men’s and Women’s Ski Teams have captured 10 NCAA Championships, including five in the 1980s and three in the 1990s. Volleyball has participated in 10 of the last 13 NCAA Tournaments with two Sweet 16 finishes. Softball has qualified for the postseason 18 times (13 NCAA) and has five College World Series appearances (four NCAA). Women’s Soccer has played in the NCAA Tournament in five of the last nine years. Baseball won the 2009 Mountain West Conference tournament and claimed two victories at the NCAA Regional. Other Ute athletic highlights include: Men’s Tennis (24 conference championships), Women’s Tennis (2011 MWC Tournament title, 2010 MWC regular-season championship, and back-to-back NCAA appearances), Men’s Swimming and Diving (24 conference championships), Women’s Swimming and Diving (2006 conference champion) and Women’s Cross Country (1981 AIAW Division II National Champion).

Utah made NCAA history in 2004-05 when it became the only school ever to produce a No. 1 NFL and NBA draft pick in the same year. The unprecedented event—featuring quarterback Alex Smith and center Andrew Bogut—bolstered Utah’s reputation as an athletics power.

ON TO THE PAC-12

The latest chapter in Ute athletics history began on July 1, 2011, when Utah officially became a member of the Pac-12 Conference.
