BUCKNELL BISON ATHLETICSA NATIONAL MODEL IN PROMOTING THE SCHOLAR-ATHLETE IDEAL

Bucknell Athletics is fi rst and foremost a student-centered organization, one that strives to be a national leader when it comes to operating by a true scholar-athlete model. At Bucknell, student-athletes’ academic programs are their fi rst priority, and providing a competitive Division I athletics program only advances the mission, values and residential learning goals of the university. To that end, the Department of Athletics and Recreation proactively seeks ways to assist student-athletes in their daily academic pursuits. Below are just some of the student-athlete support programs currently in place.

BUCKNELL BISON LEADERSHIP ACADEMY: In 2011-12, the Department of Athletics launched the Bucknell Bison Leadership Academy. This program is designed to help student-athletes learn how to be eff ective leaders on and off the playing fi elds. The Leadership Academy features programming and instruction that bridge theory, development and real experiences in an interactive learning environment. Through this endeavor, team leaders can enhance their impact on their teammates’ and their program’s performance immediately and for years to come.

FACULTY ATHLETICS REPRESENTATIVE: The faculty athletics representative (FAR) is a member of the faculty or administrative staff who is designated to represent Buck-nell in its relationships with the NCAA and the Patriot League. Bucknell’s FAR is Mitch Chernin, Professor of Biology. The FAR can enhance the student-athlete experience by promoting a balance between academics, athletics and the social lives of student-athletes, which aff ords them opportunities to enjoy a full range of collegiate experiences.

SIDELINE COACH PROGRAM: This program is a truly unique initiative in Division I college athletics, and it involves the invitation of a member of the faculty, administration, staff or community by one of Bucknell’s 27 varsity teams. The participant has the opportunity to discuss the overall program with the respective coaching staff , including practice preparation and strategy for the upcoming contest. The sideline coach attends a practice session and an actual intercollegiate competition, where he/she is intro-duced to the team and gains rarely seen insight into the relationships that exist between player-coach and player-player. The purpose of the Sideline Coaches Program is to foster a better understanding by the faculty and administration of the roles played by coaches and athletes in the university’s competitive intercollegiate athletic arena.

ACADEMIC ENHANCEMENT CENTER: In the Fall of 2005, the Department of Athletics opened a study/computer lab for student-athletes on the concourse level of Sojka Pavilion. The center is outfi tted with computers, a laser printer, four television monitors and a projection unit with computer, VCR and DVD player. Additionally, the study lab can be used as a meeting place for group projects, tutorial area or just a secluded and quiet study space before or after practice. In addition, the Department of Athletics owns a number of laptop computers that may be signed out by student-athletes for use on away trips.

STUDENT-ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAAC): Representatives from each varsity team comprise the SAAC, which is designed to enhance the total student-athlete experience by promoting opportunity, protecting student-athlete welfare, and fostering a positive student-athlete image. The Committee is an invaluable resource for pro-moting communication between athletics administration and student-athletes; promoting communication between athletics and campus-wide administration; providing feedback and insight, as well as soliciting responses into department issues and proposed NCAA legislation; building a sense of community within the athletics program involving all athletics teams; organizing community service projects and eff orts; creating a vehicle for student-athlete representation on campus-wide committees; serving as a collective voice of campus student-athletes; and disseminating information to the student-athlete body. Among the programs the Bucknell SAAC has undertaken in recent years are regular volunteer trips to the Lewisburg Food Bank, and involvement with the “Orange and Blue goes Green” sustainability program.

BISON GOOD SPORTS: Now in its eighth year, Bison Good Sports is a sportsmanship awareness program designed to promote appropriate fan conduct at all Bison sporting events. Bucknell teams have some of the best fan support in the Patriot League, and we encourage all fans to enthusiastically cheer on the Orange & Blue in a positive manner.

2015 Bucknell Baseball 5www.BucknellBison.com

It didn't take long for Bucknell head coach Scott Heather to leave his mark on the Bison program. In just his second season at the helm after succeeding longtime Bucknell mentor Gene Depew, Heather guided the Bison to a Patriot League regular-season title, a Patriot League Tournament championship, an NCAA Regional berth, the second NCAA Regional win in program history and helped the team equal the biggest win improvement (+15) in school history.

The best part about all that success is Buck-nell is in solid position for an encore perfor-mance. The Bison have returning starters and key contributors all over the diamond and on the mound as pretty much everyone is back from a team that was 31-21-1 overall to equal the program record for victories in a season.

Bucknell has eight members of its starting lineup, three weekend starting pitchers and two nearly unhittable arms out of the bull-pen back in the mix this year. Included in that group are four returning All-Patriot League players, two former Patriot League Rookie of the Years and one Patriot League Tournament MVP.

"We want to continue to move forward," commented Heather, the 2014 Patriot League Coach of the Year. "One of the things you have to do after winning a championship is fi ght complacency and we have been working hard to do just that. There is room for improvement every day. The key to our success in 2014 was we continued to improve throughout the year and were playing well at the right time."

Bucknell was especially strong after the start of Patriot League play in late March. The Bison were a solid 23-10 over their last 33 games, which included a 4-0 mark in the Pa-triot League Tournament and the program's second-ever NCAA Regional win, a 5-2 victory over Liberty.

"Anytime you make it to the postseason and get past fi nal exams and can focus on just baseball, that is when you see your biggest development," explained Heather. "The NCAA Regional experience was very positive. We didn't play as well as we wanted when we got there, but getting a win was great, especially

since we found a way to win without playing our best. That says a lot about our guys and is something to build on."

Heather expects this year's team to be im-proved in many areas, but one of the biggest jumps he forecasts is the ability to hit home runs and drive the ball in the gaps, partly due to the new baseballs that will be in use throughout college baseball this year. To go along with that, the size of many of the Bison players certainly caught the attention of the eyes at the Charlottesville Regional, and more power is expected as those hitters continue to mature.

PITCHING STAFF: While a majority of the Bison roster will look familiar to Bucknell fans, a few notable names will be missing. Perhaps the most prominent loss to graduation was left-handed pitcher Dan Weigel, a First Team All-Patriot League selection who pitched an incredible complete game, four-hitter in the NCAA win over Liberty.

Luckily for Heather and the rest of the Bi-son, Weigel is the only loss from the talented weekend starting rotation that combined to pitch 319.2 innings and accumulate 24 wins. Returning to the rotation are seniors Bryson Hough and Xavier Hammond as well as junior Andrew Andreychik.

"Those three guys give us a good chance to win against anybody in the league," praised Heather. "The depth of our staff carried us last year and we are in a good position this year. (Pitching coach) Jason Neitz has done a great job of developing our staff . He rewards guys that throw strikes and pitch to the bottom of the zone. It has become a huge part of our pitching staff ."

Hough, who will be a member of the rota-tion for a fourth consecutive season, pitched the opening game of Patriot League series last spring and led the Bison to a 4-1 record in those diffi cult contests. Including the post-season, he was personally 6-0 against Patriot League oppnents. Overall, Hough was 8-4 with a 4.22 ERA in 85.1 innings.

"Bryson has been a stalwart in the rotation," commented Heather, who is in his 11th year with the program after eight seasons as an as-

sistant. "We expect him to continue to build on what he has done over his fi rst three years and be better than ever."

Andreychik enters his third year in the ro-tation. After earning Patriot League Rookie of the Year honors in 2013, he pitched four complete games and set the program single-season mark with three shutouts last year. The Danville, Pennsylvania, native was 5-5 with a 4.00 ERA and is tied for fourth in program his-tory with just 2.22 walks per nine innings.

After spending most of his fi rst two years in the bullpen, Hammond became a vital fourth starter for the Bison last year. He was 3-5 with a 3.67 ERA. He allowed 72 hits and walked just 13 in 73.2 innings. During the postseason he became a key cog out of the bullpen. Ham-mond was named to the Patriot League All-Tournament Team after pitching 5.1 innings of relief over four appearances and allowing just one hit and no runs.

"It is great to see the jump Xavier has made to being a frontline guy that is reaching his po-tential," said Heather.

Heading into the season Heather is pleased with the number of options he has for the No. 4 spot in the rotation. He will use much of the non-league schedule to determine who will fi t in that slot come Patriot League play.

Senior Jordan Holtz, juniors Max Kra and Austin Zimmerman, and sophomore Tommy Gambon are among the frontrunners for the fi nal spot in the rotation. Holtz has missed the last two years with an injury, but is back to 100 percent, while Zimmerman sat out last year and is also now healthy.

Kra, who was a successful mid-week starter last year after holding down the closer posi-tion as a rookie in 2013, enters the season battling an arm injury and may be better used out of the bullpen, while Gambon will look to make an impact after throwing just 4.2 innings last year.

Heather thinks freshmen left-handers No-lan Brennan and Mike Korchak have the talent to be conference starters, it is just a matter of when.

Also in the mix for a starting position is sophomore lefty Mike Castellani, who was one

seen time in the outfi eld during his career and could be moved there on occasion.

If Ogren, who is also a team co-captain, is in the outfi eld, then Alex O'Neill and Mark Pow-ell promise to battle for playing time. O'Neill is recovering from off season surgery and likely won't be at full strength until after spring break, but he is a senior capable of providing a spark. Powell has made large strides enter-ing his sophomore year and will likely serve as a backup at second, shortstop and third base.

SHORTSTOP: After two years as an appren-tice, Greg Wasikowski moved into the starting lineup at shortstop last year and was a strong component of the starting lineup. The senior's forte is his defense, but he is also adept at reg-istering some timely hits from the bottom of the lineup.

"Greg is a solid defender who has contin-ued to improve at shortstop," commented Heather. "We are excited about our middle infi eld with him and Joe. They are both game-ready right now. They have the experience and know how to play."

Powell will likely be the primary backup for Wasikowski, although freshmen Luke Johnson and Keifer Rawlings are also working at mul-tiple infi eld positions.

"Luke and Keifer are very good off ensive players who can make an impact on the team that way," noted Heather. "They will continue to develop. I see them as guys that will play for us in the future and are pushing the guys ahead of them right now."

THIRD BASE: Sophomore Sam Clark won the third base spot a year ago as a rookie and registered the third-most starts (47) on the team. The tall left-handed hitter drove in 16 runs and had at least one hit in nine of the fi -nal 11 games, exhibiting the improvement he made at the plate throughout the season.

"We need Sam to take a step forward in his approach and production," said Heather. "He could be the key to our off ense taking the next step. He has the potential to be a major run producer and does a great job playing de-fense."

Powell is also in the mix at third, as is Krentzman, depending on how things devel-op at fi rst base.

of the best relievers in the Patriot League in 2014. The lanky pitcher was 3-0 with a team-best 1.44 ERA. In 31.1 innings he yielded just 21 hits and struck out 20.

"One of our best guys on the staff is Mike," complimented Heather. "He will compete for a starting spot, but he is pretty important for us out of the bullpen. If some other guys develop in the bullpen and we can put him in as the No. 4 starter, that would give us a great rotation."

The main components of the Bison bullpen a year ago were Castellani, the since-graduat-ed Tom Hrabchak (1-0, 1.54 ERA) and senior Tucker Rekucki (6 saves). That trio allowed just 15 earned runs in 70.0 innings of work.

If Castellani is in the bullpen again, Heath-er could see him sharing closer duties with Rekucki. Holtz could also be in the mix as a setup man or closer.

Freshmen Connor Van Hoose and Mike Stephens are also expected to contribute, while sophomore lefties Jack Schoenberger and Danny Raff erty will see some time on the mound. Raff erty played exclusively in the fi eld as a freshman, but Heather praised his ability to get his breaking ball over the plate.

"One of the things we like about our bull-pen is we can attack from diff erent angles with diff erent types of guys and tailor it to situa-tions," said Heather. "Stephens comes from a diff erent angle. Schoenberger has dropped his slot and is tough on left-handers. I like the op-tions we have."

CATCHER: First Team All-Patriot League catcher Jon Mayer returns for his junior season and will be Bucknell's top signal caller behind the plate.

After missing the second half of his rookie campaign with an injury, Mayer split time with Justin Meier last year. He fi nished with a .246 batting average and was third on th team with 25 RBIs. A powerful hitter, Mayer was named to the Charlottesville Regional All-Tournament Team after going 3-for-9 with one runs scored and two RBIs in Bucknell's three NCAA games.

"Jon had a great summer and made him-self into a pro prospect," mentioned Heather. "He is going to be in the middle of our lineup and we need him to continue to develop be-

hind the plate. He is a guy that can leave the park. He hit the ball well this fall and hit several home runs this summer with a wood bat."

Playing alongside Mayer will be senior Jake Archey and freshman Aaron Fritz. A transfer from Binghamton, Archey appeared in two games last year in his fi rst season with the Bi-son.

"Both Jake and Aaron are competing for that second spot," explained Heather. "They are both going to get some opportunities. We will see what develops there. Both have their strengths and can help spell Mayer since it is tough to catch as many doubleheaders as we play."

FIRST BASE: Heading into last season it was expected that Rob Krentzman would move across the diamond to start at third base. However, the veteran did not follow those plans and instead was again the starter at fi rst base for a third consecutive year.

A senior from Massachusetts, Krentzman hit .257 and drove in a career-high-tying 22 RBIs last season. He still has the ability to move across the diamond, but is expected to once again see the bulk of the playing time at fi rst base.

"Rob is a great leader who plays solid de-fense and is a clutch player," praised Heather. "He does a great job bringing the team to-gether and always plays with energy."

Sophomore Carter Austin will battle with Krentzman for playing time at fi rst base. A for-mer Major League Baseball draft pick, Austin struggled to fi nd his hitting stroke as a rookie, but has continued to develop.

"Carter had a good fall and I can see him getting opportunites at both fi rst base and DH since he can provide some power to our lineup," noted Heather.

SECOND BASE: Like Bucknell has at many positions, second base features a returning veteran starter. Junior Joe Ogren, an All-Patriot League selection and the Patriot League Tour-nament MVP, started 51 games last year, with the majority of them coming at second base.

Ogren's .309 batting average is tops among returning Bison, while his 28 RBIs paced the team last spring. The versatile athlete has also

OUTFIELD: Heather anticipates Raff erty (LF), reigning Patriot League Rookie of the Year Brett Smith (CF) and First Team All-Patriot League selection Anthony Gingerelli (RF) to man the outfi eld this season.

Smith and Gingerelli both appeared in more than 50 games a year ago and were key members of both the Bison defense and the top of the team's lineup.

A Second Team All-Patriot League pick, Smith hit in the leadoff position in 51 of Buck-nell's 53 games a year ago. He drew a team-high 28 walks and posted a .400 on-base per-centage, helping him score a team-best 46 runs.

"Brett is our catalyst," explained Heather. "He has done a good job continuing to devel-op his game. I am looking forward to seeing him take the next step as an off ensive player. He does such a good job of seeing pitches, working the count and getting on base."

Gingerelli exploded off ensively in 2014. The senior co-captain hit .309 with a team-high fi ve home runs and 27 RBIs. The left-handed hitter posted a team-high 16 extra-base hits.

"Gingerelli has been great in right and will continue to produce for us," praised Heather. "He fi nished last season in the No. 2 hole in the lineup and gives us a bit of power from that slot. He continues to work every day to get better. He jumps at every opportunity to get better and plays as hard as anybody on the team."

Raff erty, who will also see some time as a relief pitcher this season, split time between left fi eld and DH as a rookie. His biggest im-pact came late in the season as 63 of his 85 at bats came after April 1. Junior Tommy Pen-nington will also see plenty of time in the out-fi eld, especially in left. He has appeared in 27 games over his fi rst two seasons.

Junior Spencer Stokes and newcomers Alex Salem and Chuckie Scales will provide outfi eld depth. Heather noted Stokes and Salem will also compete for the DH position, while Scales is possibly the fastest Bison player since Heather arrived on the scene prior to the 2005 campaign.

Scott Heather was named the head coach of the Bucknell baseball program on June 18, 2012, succeed-ing the retiring Gene Depew. Heather spent the previous eight years as an assistant coach at Bucknell, helping the Bison to a pair of Patriot League Tournament titles and NCAA appear-ances.

It took Heather, the 2014 Patriot League Coach of the Year, just two seasons as head coach to lead the Bison through a successful postseason run. Under Heather's tutelage, Bucknell won the Patriot League regular season and Patriot League Tournament titles in 2014. The Bison advanced to the NCAA Regional at Virginia and posted the second NCAA win in program history, defeat-ing Liberty 5-2 behind a complete game four-hitter from pitcher Dan Weigel.

A former pitcher at the University of Arkansas, Heather served as the pitching coach during the fi rst eight years of his tenure at Bucknell. The staff had a 4.30 ERA in 2006, marking the team’s lowest since 1983 (4.10). The strong pitching has continued with last year's 3.44 team ERA ranking second in the Patriot League and 73rd nationally.

During his tenure as pitching coach, Heather tutored a number of outstanding hurlers, including 2011 Patriot League Pitcher of the Year Ryan Ebner. Additionally, Heather oversaw the development of 2008 graduates Jason Buursma and Mathew Wilson. Those two former Bison claimed back-to-back Patriot League ERA titles, while Buursma earned a pair of First Team All-Patriot League selections as a relief pitcher. Wilson, who was the 2007 Patriot League ERA champion, broke the school re-cord for career shutouts and pitched a complete-game shutout against nationally ranked Florida State in the 2008 NCAA Tournament.

Heather has had the opportunity to see Bison pitchers selected in three Major League Baseball Drafts since his arrival in Lewisburg in Au-gust 2004. Buursma was drafted in 2007 (42nd round by Seattle Mari-ners) and 2008 (25th round by St. Louis Cardinals), while Kyle Walter was selected in the 18th round of the 2006 draft by the Toronto Blue Jays.

In addition to his duties with the Bucknell pitching staff , Heather served as the program’s recruiting coordinator and assisted with all fun-draising projects during his time as a Bison assistant.

Prior to his stint as an assistant at Bucknell, Heather served as an assistant coach at Arkansas-Fort Smith from 1999 to 2004.

Heather began his playing career at Arizona Western Col-lege in Yuma, Ariz., where he was MVP of the 1996 team that was ranked third nationally, before moving on to Arkansas. Heather lettered for the Razorbacks as a pitcher in 1997 and 1998, and then became a student assistant in 1999 when Ar-kansas won its fi rst Southeastern Conference championship. He also pitched professionally for the Duluth Dukes of the Northern League in 1998.

Heather, who earned his degree from Arkansas in 2003, and his wife, Emily, live in nearby Miffl inburg with their daughters, four-year-old Ellie, and Maren, who was born in December 2014.

Former professional baseball player Jason Neitz joined the Bucknell staff in the winter of 2011, and in the summer of 2012 he was promoted to top assistant coach under new head coach Scott Heather. A native of nearby Miffl inburg, Pennsylvania, Neitz was drafted in the 37th round of the 2007 Major League Baseball Draft by the San Francisco Giants.

Since taking over as Bucknell's pitching coach, Neitz has helped the Bison continue as one of the best pitching teams in the Patriot League by focusing on keeping the ball low and throwing strikes. In 2014, Neitz oversaw a staff that posted a 3.44 ERA, the lowest for a Bucknell squad in nearly 40 years. The Bison's team ERA has been lowered every year

since 2009, with Neitz serving as pitching coach for the most recent two campaigns.A 2002 graduate of Miffl inburg Area High School, Neitz played baseball for four years at East Caro-

lina before graduating in the fall of 2006 with a bachelor’s degree in physical education. A left-handed pitcher, Neitz was 3-2 with an ERA of 4.71 in 80.1 career innings over 43 appearances with the Pirates. He recorded 55 strikeouts.

Neitz, who serves as Bucknell’s pitching coach, played professionally for four seasons, three in the Giants organization, and most recently one with the Washington Wild Things.

Neitz got his start in the coaching profession as an assistant at Miffl inburg Area High School in the spring of 2010.

Coach of the Year: Scott Heather, BucknellScholar-Athlete of the Year: Cory Spera, Lafayette

• Bucknell tied the school record for victories in a season (31). The 1998 and 2001 Bison squads also reached that victory fi gure.

• Bucknell won the Patriot League Tourna-ment for the sixth time in program history (all since 1996). The Bison were the No. 1 seed in the four-team fi eld and posted a 4-0 record against Navy (semifi nal series) and Lehigh (championship series).

• Bucknell advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the sixth time in school history (all since 1996). The Bison earned the second NCAA win in the history of the program when they defeated Liberty 5-2 at the Charlottesville Re-gional. Bucknell's other NCAA win was in 2008 at Florida State.

• With a 31-21-1 fi nal record, Bucknell equaled the 1969 team for the largest turnaround in program history from one year to the next. The Bison won 15 more games than they did in 2013.

• Bucknell was 16-5 at Depew Field, marking the second-most home victories in a season (1998 - 17).

• Bucknell's team ERA of 3.44 was its lowest since the 1976 squad posted a 3.06 ERA.

• Bucknell had an eight-game winning streak (March 29 to April 6), marking its longest since 1998.

• Bucknell was a strong 12-8 in games decided by two runs or less, including 8-5 in one-run outings.

• Bucknell swept eight of the 19 doublehead-ers it played.

• Bucknell was 15-5 in Patriot League play, equaling the program record for Patriot League victories. It was the 16th time in 24 years in the conference the Bison posted dou-ble-fi gure wins.

• Bucknell was 9-1 on the fi rst day of Patriot League weekends.

The Department of Athletics and Recreation strives to set the stan-dard of excellence for intercollegiate and intramural programs in higher education, thereby advancing and drawing attention to the mission, core values, and educational goals of Bucknell University.

The Department believes that student-athletes’ academic programs must be their fi rst priority. It is therefore committed to maintaining Bucknell’s high national ranking for student-athletes’ graduation rates and for producing Academic All-Americans, and to continued leader-ship of the Patriot League in Academic Honor Roll nominations, based on grade-point averages. The coaches’ and staff ’s paramount responsibility is maintain-ing academic priorities and supporting student-athletes’ education, even while provid-ing the rigorous and serious NCAA Division I athletic op-portunities Bucknell student-athletes seek.

Further, the Department promotes the personal growth of student-athletes and the general student body by en-couraging personal health, development, and balance among intellectual, social, civic, and physical pursuits; by celebrating challenge and competition; and by preparing participants for service and leadership in the world. Coaches and staff direct a rich array of athletic programs and recreational opportunities aimed at increasing student engagement, as well as strengthening character, healthy living, teamwork, sportsman-ship, and spirit. In creating shared experiences for students, faculty, and staff , as well as alumni, family, and friends, the Department’s programs add substantially to Bucknell’s sense of community and foster life-long relationships with Bucknell.

The Department embraces the University’s decision to compete at the highest extramural level, in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). Division I membership is valuable not only because this level of competition maximally challenges student-athletes, but also because it signals clearly Bucknell’s high standards and seriousness of purpose in all extracurricular endeavors and it helps position Bucknell apart from other National Liberal Arts Colleges. Likewise, the competitive success the Department seeks, measured in part by consistent contention for the Patriot League Presidents’ Cup, refl ects positively upon Bucknell’s student-athletes and the University alike, and it brings distinction and national recognition to Bucknell.

A student-centered operation, the Department is committed to pro-viding equitable opportunities to women and men, as well as members of minority and majority groups of all kinds. The Department subscribes to, and complies with, all principles and regulations of the Patriot League, the Eastern College Athletic Conference, and the NCAA.

The department is proud that so many of today’s exemplary Bison scholar-athletes will be tomorrow’s outstanding leaders.

Plan for BucknellBucknell is a unique na-

For more than 160 years, the Uni-versity has remained true to its fundamental purpose: to educate and prepare students for lives that make a diff erence and have a positive impact on the world.

In keeping with that pur-pose, the University has de-

veloped The Plan for Bucknell, which includes its collective vision — “To provide students with the premier undergraduate experience in American higher education.” Students helped shape this vision because of their confi dence in the University.

Strengthen the Academic Core aims to ensure that a Bucknell edu-cation is challenging and engaging, with openness to new ideas and a culture of innovation;

Deepen the Residential Learning Experience will provide a resi-dential learning and living experience that complements the academic program, integrates the athletics and recreation program and promotes personal growth and development and civic and ethical responsibility;

Enhance Diversity is a commitment to diversity in all its forms within a civil and supportive environment of open exchange to prepare Bucknell graduates to live and work in a globally integrated and intercultural world;

Build Bridges will bring the world to Bucknell — through visiting scholars and sports teams, international students and alumni, guest speakers, international focus semesters, and electronic communications — and bring Bucknell to the world through strategic partnerships and community engagement activities as well as opportunities for off -campus study and faculty research;

Secure Our Financial Future will secure resources necessary to engage new opportunities, lessen dependence on tuition, and ensure our fi nancial future.
