Head Coach Mike Kazlausky

2012 Air Force Baseball 6 GoAirForceFalcons.com

#38 Mike KazkauskyHead CoachSecond YearUSAFA, 1991

Mike Kazlausky (Maj. Re�red) enters his second

year as Air Force baseball head coach in 2012.

Kazlausky was named head baseball coach on

June 2, 2011, by Athle�c Director Dr. Hans

Mueh. Kazlausky re�red from ac�ve duty, ef-

fec�ve June 1, and his interim tag was li�ed to

official head coach status. Kazlausky signed a

three-year contract through the 2014 season.

Kazlausky re�red with the rank of major a�er 20

years of meritorious service with the U.S. Air

Force. As the interim head coach in 2011, Ka-

zlausky led the Falcons to a 19-36 overall record,

leading the program to the most wins since

2002. The 19 wins were also the second-most in

school history against Division I opponents and

the most Division I wins by a first-year head

coach at the Academy.

In his first year, Kazlausky led Air Force to its first

win over a Pac 10 school in 21 years and its first

four-game sweep since 2003. The team fielded

.960 to set a new school record. Sophomore

Garre� Custons earned First-Team All-Mountain

West honors by ranking in the conference top

10 in 11 categories. Sophomore right-hander

Sean Carley posted one of the best seasons ever

by a Falcon pitcher, earning Second-Team All-

MW honors, the first Falcon pitcher to earn all-

conference honors since 2002. Carley posted a

3.94 earned run average, the lowest at the

Academy in 28 years. His 4.10 ERA in confer-

ence games set a school record in the Mountain

West era. Air Force lowered its team ERA by

over five runs a game from the 2010 season

(11.31 to 6.09). The 6.09 team ERA was the low-

est at Air Force in 29 years, da�ng back to 1982.

"This is my school and no one is more proud

than I to have gone through the Academy and to

have served for 20 years in the Air Force," Ka-

zlausky said. "I look forward to having the op-

portunity to con�nue to represent our United

States Air Force Academy! It is a tremendous

honor and a privilege to be associated with the

Academy and the Air Force as the Head Baseball

Coach. I have a great understanding of all the

pillars at the Academy, and I truly understand

the mission of the Academy and the Air Force.

Our job, as a staff, is to ensure success not only

on the baseball field but in all facets of the Acad-

emy and that each young man is ready to lead

our great country upon gradua�on!"

Kazlausky, known as "Coach Kaz" is a 1991 Acad-

emy graduate and has logged six years as an as-

Kazlausky and Kansas head coach Ritch Price exchange hats prior to Kansas-Air Force game in 2011.

sistant coach at the Academy. He is the first

Academy graduate to become head baseball

coach at Air Force and was the program's first

military coach since 1988.

As one of the most inspira�onal and emo�onal

players to ever wear the Air Force baseball uni-

form, Kazlausky came to USAFA baseball as a

walk-on and started all four years. At the �me of

his gradua�on, he held eight career records and

s�ll ranks among the top six in nine of the 13 of-

fensive categories. A two-�me all-Western Ath-

le�c Conference (WAC) selec�on, Kazlausky led

the Falcons in ba�ng in 1989 and 1991.

A�er a standout baseball career with the Fal-

cons, "Kaz" spent three seasons from 1993 to

1995 as an assistant coach to former Falcon

head coach Paul Mainieri, now the head skipper

at LSU. During this �me, the Falcons posted

three consecu�ve winning seasons. The 1994

team led the na�on in ba�ng average, slugging

percentage and triples. The 1995 team won 29

games, the second most in school history. A�er

leaving the Academy in the summer of 1995,

Kaz spent four years at Charleston Air Force

Base, S.C., as a pilot in the C-17 aircra�.

He later returned to the Academy in the fall of

2000 as a TG4 and T-41/C-150 evaluator pilot in

the 94th Flying Training Squadron. In addi�on

to his flight du�es, he also served as the volun-

teer baseball coach for the Falcons as well as the

Preparatory School head baseball coach. During

his tenure, the 2002 Falcon team set the school

record for most Div. I victories and two Falcon

players were dra�ed into the minor leagues. Ka-

zlausky then returned back to Charleston Air

Force Base in 2004. He spent the next two and

a half years as a C-17 pilot ac�vely serving in the

War on Terror, before returning to the Academy

from 2006-2008 for this third tour as an assis-

tant baseball coach. Kazlausky spent 2010 as an

Air Officer Commanding (AOC) for cadet

squadron 12 at the Academy.

In 2007, Kazlausky was inducted to the Lake

County Hall of Fame in Lake County, Ill., for out-

standing achievement. In 2008, he was inducted

into the 14th Airli� Squadron Hall of Fame in

Charleston, S.C..

Season OutlookAir Force baseball head coach

Mike Kazlausky took a momentfrom his busy schedule to talkabout his Falcons as they preparefor the 2012 baseball season.

How is the team looking headedinto 2012?We are very excited to begin oursecond year with Falcon baseball.It is an honor and privilege for mystaff and me to be able to coachthis team of fine young men at theUnited States Air Force Academy. Iam also excited to have all threecoaches returning from last sea-son. Coaches Tim Dixon, Toby Bick-nell and Mark Crocco bring aninvaluable amount of baseballknowledge to our program. Thereis no doubt that their enthusiasmand love for the game rubs off onour players.

I have walked the walk at theAcademy and served our na�on for20 years. I understand what ourplayers go through on a daily basisand I also understand the impor-tance of compe��on, to bring outthe best in our cadets in which willenable them to be at their bestwhen our na�on calls. Our cadetsare different, and they are not nor-mal college baseball players. Theyrepresent so much more. We willdon the baseball uniform that says

Air Force across the chest, but itmay as well say USA. I expect totalteam commitment and not just onthe field. I expect our team to besuccessful in the classroom, in thesquadron, and in the community.These Cadets represent somethingso much bigger than themselvesand the baseball team. They rep-resent our Air Force Academy, ourAir Force, and our Country!

What an exci�ng opening

weekend for the Falcons! We areheaded to Baton Rouge, La., to playLSU and Alcorn State twice. Thereis no be�er venue in the countrythan Alex Box Stadium and there isnot a man I respect more than LSUcoach Paul Mainieri. CoachMainieri was my coach at the Acad-emy while I was a Cadet and I hadthe ability to coach under him fortwo years while he was at theAcademy. He has made me intothe man that I am today and with-out his mentoring and tutelage, Iwould not be coaching at the AirForce Academy. You will not meeta be�er coach or a be�er man thanCoach Mainieri. He representseverything that is good for collegebaseball and for all the people thathe comes in contact with. CoachMainieri is my mentor and it will bebi�ersweet to play the Tigers.

We return several starterswith lots of experience as well asbreak in a handful of newcomers.Our team strength will be our start-ing pitchers as we return out en�restar�ng rota�on from last year.

As a team, we don’t put a lotof emphasis on the final outcomeat the end of the game; we’re moreconcerned about how we playpitch-by-pitch. At the end of thegame, whether the scoreboard is inour favor or not, we are more con-cerned on if we played Falconbaseball. Have we hustled? Havewe put ourselves into a situa�on tobe successful? Those are thethings we’re more concerned with.

Is there a team mo�o this year?Our mo�o for this year is pre�ysimple. It’s W.I.N. It stands forWhat’s Important Now. It summa-rizes all that encompasses whatour players go through, not just onthe field, but as cadets in theirsquadron, as students and as fu-ture military officers. We just wantour cadets focused on the task athand.

What is the teams’ goal this year?Our number one goal this season isto make the Mountain West Cham-pionships. It’s been years sincewe’ve been to the championshipsand this is what our team will bestriving for. It’s going to be a chal-lenge, but we feel our program isheaded in the right direc�on andthat this goal is a�ainable.

Who are you looking at to lead theteam?We have a veteran group of seniorsthat we expect to provide leader-ship to our team. Having a biggroup of six seniors is an addedbenefit to us as a coaching staff.Our seniors, Evan Abrecht, MichaelCeci, Adam Hill, Victor Iacobbo,Mike Kazakoff and Blair Robertshave plenty of game experienceand have developed into leadersthrough their four years at theAcademy. The leadership they pro-vide to our team is unprecedentedand top-notch.

Season Outlook

2012 Air Force Baseball 13 GoAirForceFalcons.com

Tell us about your pitching staff,first with the star�ng pitchers?Our star�ng pitching will be ourteam strength. We will lean heav-ily on seniors Evan Abrecht andMichael Ceci, as well as our juniorsSean Carley and Ben Bertelson.Evan has been solid for us over thepast three years and Sean is a re-turning All-Mountain West selec-�on. Michael con�nues toimprove with each year and welook for Ben to con�nue to makethe strides he made as a sopho-more last year. Cameron Whitemade big strides as a freshman lastyear and he will also push for aspot in our rota�on.

How is the bullpen coming along?As we enter the season, we’relooking for several pitchers to stepup in the bullpen. With last year’scloser Stephen Colangelo lost to in-jury, we expect Alex Baker to stepin and close for us this year. Hehad a solid sophomore season asour setup man and we expect himto excel this year.

Sophomore Cameron Whitewill be a factor for us in both thebullpen and star�ng rota�on.Freshman Ben Yokley and sopho-more David Baska, who comes tous from the football team, havelooked good in prac�ces and willbe called upon to give us quality in-nings.

We have a group of juniors inMa� Ze�ler, Jack Hourin and ToddDel Toro that we expect to improvefrom last year. Senior Mike Kaza-koff gave us solid appearances outof the pen as a situa�onal guy lastyear, and we expect more of thesame from him this year.

What do you expect out of the in-field?Junior Ma�hew Roberts enters histhird year as the star�ng shortstop.Senior Blair Roberts projects as ourstar�ng second baseman.

At First Base we have threequality op�ons. Senior Adam Hillwill start the season at first andcould also see �me at third. Adammissed his en�re junior season toinjury, but we look for him to beback and ready to help us out onoffense and defense. SophomoreSeth Kline contributed offensivelylast year and will see �me at firstand designated hi�er.

Freshman Tyler Saleck has a

made a lot of improvements sincethe fall both offensively and defen-sively. Noah Pierce and Casey Gib-son are freshman that have comeon strong in their first year. NoahPierce is the projected starter atthird and Casey Gibson could see agood bit of �me in the line-up aswell.

Who will be catching for you?Junior Garre� Custons will anchorour offense and lead our defensewhen behind the dish. As a return-ing first-team All-Mountain Westplayer, we’re going to ask a lot outof Garre� again. He finished hissophomore season hi�ng well andcon�nued it into summer ball inthe Northwoods League. We ex-pect him to be even be�er as anupperclassman. Freshman TaylorAusbun and freshman Brian Sicherwill also see ac�on at behind theplate.

How is the ou�ield shaping up?Junior Alex Bast, our returningteam MVP, will anchor the ou�ieldin center field. Alex will also becounted upon to produce for us inthe middle of the ba�ng order aswell. Patrick Lobo returns for hissophomore year a�er finishing sec-ond on the team in ba�ng.

Adding to Bast and Lobo wehave several other players whocould see �me in the ou�ield;freshmen Jake Sortor and DavidThomas, sophomores JacobSchomaker, Shaun Love� and RyanKramer. In addi�on to catching du-�es, Taylor Ausbun will also get alook in the ou�ield.

As the season progresses, welook at ge�ng a bunch of playersback who are currently injured. Sowhat we see at the start of the sea-son may not be what we see at theend of the season lineup-wise. It’sa tough situa�on to put our youngguys in, but they will get a chanceto learn on the fly and gain valu-able live game experience rightaway.

Looks like you have another toughschedule this year?This is year we have put together apre�y tough schedule, especiallywith the fact we play 41 roadgames, including our first 20 gameson the road to start the season.

We also play three teams ranked inpreseason Top-25 polls in LSU,Oklahoma and TCU. In addi�on,we will face NCAA regional teamsin Alcorn State and Navy.

As we did last year, we will beplaying Navy at a neutral-site. Weare honored and so thankful forthe first-class event the folks in Kin-ston, N.C. have setup for us. Welook forward to a spirited serieswith our brothers in arms at theNaval Academy and at a great cityand ball field in Kinston.

We feel that the tough non-conference slate we play will onlyprepare us in our goal of compet-ing for a tournament slot in the al-ways-tough Mountain WestConference.

At the end of the day, who weplay doesn’t ma�er as much ashow we play. We stress to ourplayers the importance of playingthe game right, one pitch at a �me.And in doing so, the results willspeak for themselves.

We try to stress upon ourcadets about the importance ofcharacter, integrity and the drive tosucceed; both on and off the field.We are looking to develop winnersnot just on the field, but in life andbeyond. By playing this game right,with focus and intensity, we hopeto ins�ll skills and habits that theseyoung men will be able to use asthey go on to become officers inthe United States Air Force.

I dream about thosenights last year that I was on the bump,staring down the hitter, the crowd roar-ing. I can still put myself back in the gameagainst TCU that I came in to close the daybefore I started. The amount of focus Ihad that night in the bottom of the ninth,the game riding on me…..I will never for-get that moment. Even though our recorddid not reflect the hard work the team putin, I know that with the coaches we havethis year, and the desire we have tochange this program around, everything ispossible.

In His Own Words

The team play and mutual support of our ‘64 Baseball Team was a great life lesson. Never giveup, a�ack every inning, run the bases, and never get called out “looking”. Same ascombat...same as corporate life.

I may have been the only catcher to bat leadoff in the region. And I loved to hit a pitch cap high“in the wheel house”. The team called it the “tomahawk swing”. We were a hustling bunch ledby Darryl Bloodworth and Fred “Fredo” Olmsted...two true Academy Baseball legends.

We had some good players...even some very good players...but not great players. What we hadwas a great team. We believed in ourselves, and we are s�ll the best of friends. (And we hadsome great fans...led by Gracie!)

Advice to the Falcons of 2012: Enjoy the experience, love the game, have pride, win every in-ning, keep your team friendships for a life�me!

Colorado Springs

2012 Air Force Baseball 79 GoAirForceFalcons.com

The immortal words of an eastern visitorin 1893 live perpetually at the base of Col-orado’s Rocky Mountains.

When teacher and poet Katherine LeeBates took a wagon ride to the summit of PikesPeak she was inspired to write a song that is still recited today. Herview from atop the 14,110-foot peak was the basis of her song “Amer-ica the Beautiful”.

The history of Colorado Springs traverses back to 1870 when Gen.William Jackson Palmer first visited the region and was captivated byits grandeur. A year later, he began designing his city of dreams. Fromits beginning on the corner of Pikes Peak and Cascade Avenues indowntown Colorado Springs, the city has grown more than 183 squaremiles and to nearly 400,000 people in the city and 600,000 in themetro area.

Colorado Springs is known nationally for its natural attractions.The Garden of the Gods, the area’s No. 1 natural attraction, is a ma-jestic out-cropping of red sandstone rocks which are more than 300million years old. Colorado Springs is also home to the Pikes Peak High-way, a 19-mile drive up the world’s highest toll road. The area’s No. 1

man-made attraction is the Air Force Academy’sCadet Chapel.

Another major attraction is the BroadmoorHotel and Resort. Built in the early 1900s, this five-star resort, hosted the 1995 U.S. Women’s Open

Golf Championship and the 2008 Senior U.S. Open, and is nestled intothe base of Cheyenne Mountain. The Pikes Peak region is home to thenation’s only mountain zoo. The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, with an el-evation of more than 6,800-feet, has received several changes in thepast two years.

For the outdoors enthusiast, the city and the state offer a plethoraof recreational activities. A short drive to the northwest features someof the nation’s finest ski resorts, including the cities of Vail and Aspen.A short jaunt to the southwest or northwest will find some of the bestwhite-water rafting, fishing, hiking and cycling that the country has tooffer.

Valuing its past with a vision for the future, Colorado Springs is trulya city with unparalleled culture, recreation, growth and opportunityin the 21st century.

Denver

2012 Air Force Baseball 80 GoAirForceFalcons.com

Less than 45 minutes from the Academy and with over 300 days ofsunshine per year, The Mile High City of Denver has it all.

Truly a sports capitol, Denver has nine professional sports teams,including the Denver Broncos (NFL), Denver Nuggets (NBA), ColoradoAvalanche (NHL), Colorado Rockies (MLB), Colorado Rapids (MajorLeague Soccer), Denver Dynamite (Indoor Soccer League), Denver Out-laws (Major League Lacrosse) and the Colorado Mammoth (NationalLacrosse League). Recent success among the teams has driven the ex-citement for these teams a mountain high. The Broncos won the SuperBowl in 1998 and 1999. The Avalanche won the Stanley Cup in 1996and 2001. The Rockies played in the World Series in 2007.

Located just east of the Rocky Mountains and the Continental Di-vide, Denver has a mild and dry climate with more days of sunshine peryear than San Diego and Miami. Golf courses are open year round asthe average winter temperature is 45 degrees, warmer than Boston,New York City and St. Louis. The city sits at 5,280 feet above sea level.In fact, there is a step on the State Capitol Building that is exactly one

mile above sea level. Even at a mile above sea level, the city is dwarfedby its backdrop. The foothills being just west of the city and the peaksof the mountain range reach heights of more than 14,000 feet. Despitethe proximity to the mountains, the city receives just 8-15 inches ofprecipitation per year, about the same as Los Angeles.

The United States Census Bureau estimates that, in 2006, the pop-ulation of the City and County of Denver was 566,974, making it the27th most populous U.S. city. The Denver-Aurora Metropolitan Statis-tical Area had an estimated 2006 population of 2,408,750 and rankedas the 21st most populous U.S. metropolitan statistical area.

Denver has the largest city park system in the nation. There are 650miles of off-street, bike paths, 90 golf courses and 200 parks. Within a90-minute drive from downtown Denver, there are opportunities forsome of the country’s best skiing, hiking, fishing, rafting and mountainbiking.

HISTORY OF THE ACADEMY

In 1948, a board of leading civilian and military educators was appointed to plan the curriculum for an academy that would meet the needsof the newly established Air Force. The board determined that Air Force requirements could not be met by expanding the other service acade-mies and recommended an Air Force Academy be established without delay.

In 1949, then Secretary of the Air Force W. Stuart Symington appointed a commission to assist in selecting a site and on April 1, 1954, Pres-ident Dwight D. Eisenhower authorized creation of the United States Air Force Academy. After considering 580 sites in 45 states, the commis-sion narrowed the choice to three locations. The summer of 1954, Secretary of the Air Force Harold Talbott selected a site near Colorado Springs,Colo. Colorado contributed $1 million toward purchase of the property.

In July 1955, the first Academy class entered interim facilities at Lowry Air Force Base, Denver, while construction began. It was sufficientlycompleted for occupancy by the cadet wing in late August 1958. Initial construction cost was $142 million.

Women entered the Academy on June 28, 1976, as members of the class of 1980.

Director of Athletics

2012 Air Force Baseball 83 GoAirForceFalcons.com

Dr. Hans J.Mueh is in hiseighth year asthe director ofathletics at theAir Force Acad-emy. A retiredAir Force

brigadier general, Mueh was vice dean of facultyfor two years prior to his retirement from activeduty in the summer of 2004. Mueh was heavilyinvolved in Academy athletics before becomingdirector of athletics. He was the Academy's fac-ulty athletics representative from 1996-2004 andwas a long-time member of the board of direc-tors for the Air Force Academy Athletics Associa-tion.

Since becoming the director of athletics,Mueh has led the Academy to some remarkablefeats. In 2007, the Academy was one of onlythree schools (Michigan State and Boston Col-lege) to reach post-season play in football (2007),men’s basketball and ice hockey (2006-07). Itmarked the first time a service academy has everhad a team compete in the post-season in allthree sports.

In addition, under Mueh’s watch the men’sbasketball team has played in another NCAAtournament and the National Invitational Tour-nament’s Final Four. The ice hockey team haswon the conference championship and advancedto the NCAA tournament four of the last fiveyears. Mueh was on the selection committee thathired current head coach Frank Serratore and ledthe Academy’s move into the Athletic Hockey As-sociation.

The football program, the Academy’s flagshipsport, has gone through a major overhaul underMueh. He led the transition from the retirementof the legendary Fisher DeBerry after 23 years atthe helm to hiring current head coach Troy Cal-houn, a 1989 Academy graduate.

It’s a modern, versatile structure with seemingly endless uses.The $5.6 million building is five stories high and 396 feet by 426 feet, thesize of three football fields laid side by side. The structure is divided intothree areas--basketball arena, ice hockey arena and multipurpose area. Thethree sections have a combined seating capacity of more than 9,000.

Falcon Field

Over the years, Falcon Field has become one ofthe toughest parks in which to play in the na�on. Nes-tled against the Rampart Range of the Rocky Moun-tains, Falcon Field sits at over 7,000 feet above sealevel. In 1991, the field became one of the mostunique in the country. Due to the severe Coloradoweather, an Astroturf infield was installed with abrand new grass ou�ield and drainage system. Theturf allowed the Falcons to play games a�er springsnowstorms which, in the past, would have had to bepostponed. Also in 1991, the fences were moved backmore than 20 feet in some spots. The current dimen-sions are 349 in le� field, 393 in le� center, 400 in cen-

ter, 365 in right center and 316 in right field. The“short porch” in right field is protected by a 24-footchain link “Monster.” As part of the renova�on, thedugouts were upgraded with heaters and, permanenthelmet and bat racks and the park gained space formore than 500 fans with addi�onal sea�ng on thegrass for a capacity of more than 1,000. In the fall of2004, the old AstroTurf infield was replaced with newSport Turf.

During the first five seasons a�er the renova-�on, the Falcons improved in every area of the game- team defense, team offense and team pitching. Theba�ng average of .328 and fielding percentage of

.942 were the highest in any five-year pe-riod up to that point. The team ERA con-sistently improved and the five-year ERAof 7.25 is the best since joining a majorconference in 1981.

As a result, the Falcons posteda 128-122 record during that �me for awinning percentage of .512, the best since

joining a major conference in 1981. The Falcons aver-aged nearly 26 wins per season in those five years, thebest five-year average in school history. AFA’s homewinning percentage of .550 in 2000 is the best since a.625 mark in 1995.

Since 1957, the Falcons have won 55 percent ofthe games played at Falcon Field. The 1993 teambroke the school record by winning 21 home games.

In 55 seasons of Falcon baseball, the team hasposted 34 winning seasons at home. In 2011, the Fal-cons were 10-10 at home. Falcon Field also earned na-�onal recogni�on as the host of the 1976 and 1995U.S. Olympic Fes�vals.

A new era began for Falcon Field in 2010, as anew FieldTurf surface was installed over the summerof 2009. The en�re playing surface, with the excep-�on of a dirt mound, is FieldTurf. In addi�on, the en-�re fence surrounding the park was replaced and anew hi�ers eye was installed. Air Force also upgradedthe dugouts, installing new wood seats and an an up-graded hea�ng system.
