emp Calhoun Sends Tar Heels Packing Prior to the beginning of the College World Series, Arizona State's portly left fielder Kole Calhoun was eagerly awaiting a phone call that never came. Hoping to be drafted in the Major League Baseball Amateur Draft, the Sun Devils' junior waited for three days and 50 rounds to learn he was not on the radar of any big league team. With a chip on his shoulder, the left-hander decided to take out his frustrations on pitchers in Omaha, Neb., as Calhoun helped rally Arizona State from a four-run deficit to a 12-5 triumph over North Carolina on Thursday. With the victory, the Sun Devils eliminated the Tar Heels and are one of four teams remaining in the College World Series. In Arizona State's game against North Carolina, Calhoun went 2-for-3 with a pair of runs scored and six RBI. He also was a triple shy of hitting for the cycle, as he was a cog in ending the Tar Heels' season. During last Sunday's College World Series opener, Calhoun, facing Heels' reliever Brian Moran, who was drafted in the fourth round of this year's draft by the New York Yankees, provided the knockout punch with a three-run home run in the 10th inning of a 5-2 victory. Four days later, Calhoun did it again. With the Heels leading 4-0 in the bottom of the fifth inning, the Sun Devils got on the scoreboard thanks to a grand slam by Calhoun, who deposited a fastball from Moran into the right field bleachers. Calhoun's blast, the third of the College World Series, tied the game. However, his biggest hit came two innings later when the Devils blew the game open with an eight-run seventh inning. Calhoun started the scoring in the pivotal frame by hitting a two-run double in the gap in right-center field to score Jason Kipnis, who singled and Carlos Ramirez, who walked. Calhoun's double off reliever Patrick Johnson gave Arizona State a 6-4 lead. It would only get worse for the Tar Heels, who were making their fourth straight College World Series appearance. Not only was Calhoun's hitting pivotal for the Sun Devils, but North Carolina's inability to throw strikes also paved the way for Arizona State to move into the final four of the double-elimination tournament.

"For me, he's been the highlight of the spring," Towers said on Tuesday after Blanks had two hits, raising his average to .341. The 22-year-old Blanks is making the most of his extended playing time this spring with Gold Glove and All-Star Adrian Gonzalez off playing for Mexico in the World Baseball Classic. "He's forcing our hand with the way he's playing," said Towers, who likes that Blanks has done a majority of his damage against frontline starters, not Minor Leaguers. "If he keeps it up, we're going to have to find a spot for him." Blanks, who has played the outfield in the Minor Leagues on just two occasions, won't turn 23 until September. Kyle Blanks hits walk off home run for Padres Update: Kyle Blanks went 2-4 with 3 RBI, including a single and the game winning 3 run homer in the bottom of the 9th inning to lead the Padres over the Cubs, 4-1. SAN DIEGO -- Kyle Blanks may be big, but the San Diego rookie has a variety of skills not associated with a player his size. Blanks exhibited surprising speed when he hit a two-run inside the park homer to help fellow rookie Cesar Carrillo earn his first major league victory in the Padres' 6-3 win over the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday night. Fast Facts Finding a spot for Blanks, the Padres' Minor League Player of the Year in 2008, will not be easy, not with Gonzalez entrenched at first base for the foreseeable future. There may be a move afoot for Blanks to get some time in the outfield, though it will not likely happen anytime soon, said Towers, who spoke with Grady Fuson, vice president of scouting and player development, about that issue earlier Tuesday. Towers said he doesn't want to mess with Blanks' confidence right now by asking him to start taking fly balls in Arizona. If the Padres do decide to see how Blanks looks in the outfield, then it would likely be once the Triple-A season begins at Portland. And, as Towers cautioned, it would start by "taking fly balls before games" before it ever got to the point where Blanks would appear in a game in the outfield. For now, Blanks, who leads the team in at-bats (44), runs (11), total bases (15), doubles (four), home runs (three) and is tied for first in RBIs (nine), will stick to playing first base, though it might not be at the frequency he had been. • Kyle Blanks' inside-the-park homer -- one day after a walk-off HR -- was the first by a Padre since Sean Burroughs on May 16, 2003, against Atlanta. -- ESPN Stats & Information Blanks won Monday night's game with a three-run homer in the ninth inning for a 4-1 win over the Cubs. On Tuesday night, he hit a ball off the top of the wall in center in the eighth that ricocheted to right-center. The 6-foot-6, 285-pound Blanks easily beat the throw home with a headfirst slide for his eighth homer. "At times we always preface our remarks by saying, 'For a big man.' I told him I'm not saying that anymore," Padres manager Bud Black said. "This guy is athletic. He can run. We've seen him move to the outfield and look comfortable." Blanks, a natural first baseman, was moved to the outfield at Triple-A Portland this season to facilitate his move to the majors with All-Star Adrian Gonzalez in his way at first base. Since he was called up on June 19, Blanks has steadily improved. "Being able to see pitching on a more consistent basis, it helps," Blanks said. Rookie Will Venable led off the eighth with a walk off Angel Guzman before Blanks lofted a high fly ball toward the wall in center. Kosuke Fukudome crashed into the fence as the ball hit off the top of the padding and caromed toward rightcenter. By the time Fukudome recovered the ball, Blanks was already to third base and he had no trouble beating the relay. "I figured if he doesn't catch it, it's definitely going to be clanking off the wall," Blanks said. "I was just happy to hit the ball after my first three atbats." After the game Dempster stated, "I could have made some better pitches"."I gave up a home run to the guy in the lineup you don't want to let beat you." 2|Page www.goroughriders.com COLLEGE INFORMATION Location Enrollment Nickname Team Colors National Affilliation Conference President Athletic Director Athletic Trainer Baseball Operations Sports Information BASEBALL COMMUNICATIONS Prescott, AZ 9,305 Roughriders Forrest and Vegas NJCAA Div I ACCAC Dr. James Horton Scott Farnsworth Terra Schmidt Jennifer Taylor Brad Clifford Head Baseball Coach Sky’s Email Assistant Coach Ryan’s Office Ryan’s Email Pitching Coach Brandon’s Office Brandon’s Email Mailing Adress Yavapai Athletics Website Sky Smeltzer [email protected] Ryan Cougill 928.776.2233 [email protected] Brandon Bailey 928.776.2239 [email protected] 1100 E Sheldon St Building 2 Athletics Prescott, AZ 86301 goroughriders.com TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 General Information 2-3 2009 Roster 2009 Photo Roster & Team Photo 4 5-7 Roughrider Park 2009 Season Outlook 8-11 Head Coach Sky Smeltzer 12-14 Assistant Coach Ryan Cougill 15 16 BASEBALL INFORMATION SUPPORTING YAVAPAI BASEBALL Assistant Coach Brandon Bailey Head Coach Career Record Assistant Coaches Recent upgrades to the Yavapai Baseball complex have been made possible by the support of community donations, the Roughrider Club, and our alumni.

The 2010 season will be played on a newly resurfaced field. During the fall of 08’ the outfield and baselines saw an upgrade. New drainage was installed under a newly leveled outfield surface. Sod was laid down to replace the outdated surface. Along with the outfield, the infield dirt surface was taken up. A clay mixture was brought in and laser graded to allow for proper drainage and a second to none playing surface. The game mound and home plate area, as well as the bullpens also saw reconstruction. The field surface upgrade followed an extensive effort to improve the complex’s facilities as well. Within recent years, an impressive ten inning scoreboard was installed. A seating area which allows up to 1500 spectators was constructed. The pride of Roughrider Park is the newly constructed clubhouse which houses the Riders on game day. Included are spacious personal lockers, a game day coach’s office, restrooms, and a fully equipped concession area for spectators. Future renovations to Roughrider Park are expected to include improvement to the turf area behind home plate. This will be replaced with the modern Sports Turf. Also expected is a roof over the already installed batting cages. Upcoming goals of the Roughrider fundraising efforts will go toward paving the driveway and parking area that leads to the field, as well as a state of the art weight room branching off from the clubhouse. This will be home to the growing needs of the Roughrider Baseball strength and p g conditioningg program which is second to none. 8|Page www.goroughriders.com 9|Page www.goroughriders.com ww w ww.g w.goro w. oro ou ugghr ghr hrid rid ider der ers. s co com m 10 | P a g e www.goroughriders.com Yavapai saw yet another winning season in 2009, a top 10 national ranking and its fourth ACCAC title in the last five years: confirming its long standing tradition as one of the Nation’s premiere Junior College baseball programs. be looked upon to start the season as one of the better arms for the Roughriders. After being selected in the 24th round of the 2009 MLB draft by the Atlanta Braves, Upperman elected to attend Yavapai. Holding opposing hitters to a .182 Avg and earning a 1.42 ERA at Notre Dame Prep HS, the Roughrider freshman will look to carry his dominance over to the next level. Alex Miranda and Parker Markel will both compete for a spot in the starting rotation. Miranda a very competitive and crafty pitcher from Cibola HS will be looked upon to bring a left handed arm to the Roughrider staff. Parker Markel another 2009 draft pick (30th round/Detroit Tigers) brings a lot of talent to the staff and has only begun to scratch his potential. The mission now for 14th-year head coach Sky Smeltzer and his staff is to continue the Roughriders storied tradition, in what will be a challenging 2010 campaign. While renovations to Roughrider Park have continued for another consecutive year, Yavapai will again be placed as the team to beat in the always competitive ACCAC. “Our facilities rival any Junior College and with another conference title, our 2010 opponents will once again hold Yavapai as a team to beat in the upcoming season.” Although an accurate statement, that’s something the Roughriders have grown accustomed to. They have been the Conference favorite each of the last five seasons and have averaged over 40 wins per season in that span. The Roughriders will face an always challenging ACCAC slate as well as a tough season-opening road trip to Henderson, NV. There they will face top 25 opponents Salt Lake CC and College of Southern Nevada. Thanks to a talented recruiting class and a refreshed pitching staff being among that class, the Roughriders appear to be well equipped to meet these challenges head on. Returning this season are eight Roughriders that helped lead Yavapai to a conference championship in 2009. Including returning pitchers Pulama Silva and Riley Welch. Also on that list is an improved and experienced core of position players. Incoming transfers Tyler Bremer, Dustin Hobbs, James Cloud, and Demarcus Tidwell add even more experience, bringing the total number of Sophomores on the 2010 Roughrider roster to thirteen. “This is a very talented group,” states Smeltzer. “We lost some very valuable players last spring and I feel we have replaced the four starting pitchers that ate up a majority of our innings. Once again we have put the focus on developing a strong pitching staff which is what’s needed to be at the top of the conference and compete for a National Championship.” Although focus has been on replacing the 2009 Roughriders starting staff, which saw 3 of the 4 transferring to Division I programs and the Relief Pitching fourth, Kirby Yates, to professional baseball, the Roughrider lineup will look to be among the conferences elite once again. “The strength of this years position players will be our depth. We led the conference in hitting in 2009 and we will return five of those hitters that have proven themselves at this level.” Returning middle infielders Ty Forney (.357, 13 2B, 38 RBI) and Cam Schiller (.363, 16 2B, 34 RBI) will be looked upon once again to lead the Roughrider lineup. “We are very fortunate to return Cam and Ty after the success they earned last spring,” comments Smeltzer. “With the addition of some very talented transfers and incoming Freshman we feel we add the mixture of power and speed that has made our lineup successful. A majority of our games will be won through our pitching staff and solid defense, but we will win our share of games with the bat as well.” Starting Pitching -Riley Welch will start the season as the only returning starting pitcher for the Roughriders staff. After a successful summer and a year of experience Welch will be counted on early as one of four pitchers in the Roughrider starting rotation. One of three summer transfers, Tyler Bremer will begin the season as the opening day starter. A transfer from University of California-Davis, Bremer enjoyed a very successful freshman campaign. Bremer tossed 21 innings as a freshman for the Ags earning a 2.57 ERA while holding opponents to a .240 batting average. Dustin Hobbs a transfer from Kansas State University will be among the top starters for the Roughriders pitching staff as well. As a freshman at Kansas State, Hobbs struck out 22 hitters in 14 innings of work. Another dominant arm, Casey Upperman will -Pulama Silva enters the 2010 season as the Roughriders closer after leading the Nation in saves (17) and holding opponent hitters to a .130 BA. Only allowing 3 earned runs all season, Silva will once again be a very tough challenge for the Yavapai competition. James Dykstra will be one of four Roughrider two way players. Dykstra a freshman from San Diego, CA will be one of the first arms out of the bullpen for the Roughriders in 2010. Sporting a mid 90’s fastball and a very competitive demeanor, Dykstra’s make-up will be perfectly suited to lead Silva into the later innings of a game. Gaige McKeon, perhaps the biggest surprise among the pitching staff, had a very impressive fall. A Bagdad HS graduate, McKeon has improved tremendously and consistently misses barrels. Tony Vocca and Ethan Leiter will both compete for innings out of the bullpen while also making their mark in the Roughrider lineup. Vocca comes to Yavapai after being the number one pitcher at Mingus HS and leading his team to consecutive state titles. Ethan Leiter (Osceola, IN) owns an electric arm and may have as much upside as any arm on the Roughriders staff. Catchers Replacing two time All-Conference selection Dominic Piazza was goal number one for the Roughrider coaching staff. Redshirt Freshman 11 | P a g e www.goroughriders.com and San Diego State University transfer Aaron Fujiki is the likely answer along with newcomer’s Blaine Schmidt and Sean Smedley. Fujiki spent the spring of 2009 awaiting eligibility for what is expected to be a very productive year for the Oahu native. “Defensively Aaron is as good as they come. He has the ability to win games behind the plate and that’s what we needed to replace after losing Piazza” adds Smeltzer. Deer Valley prep Blaine Schmidt will look to compete against Fujiki and has the offensive potential to have his bat in the line-up every day. Smedley (Desert Valley HS) brings a consistency and hardnosed mentality that will also allow him to compete against the other Rider catchers. Third Base Perhaps as valuable a loss as Piazza, Brett Sowers transfers to Oral Roberts leaving a newly vacant position to fill at third. Returning Ethan Leiter (Osceola, IN) has as much upside as any player on the Roughrider roster. As he continues to find a defensive position, his bat will allow him to find time at third base as well as other positions on the field. Cam Schiller could also find innings at third base with the emergence of added middle infield depth. Shortstop The primary competition for the starting shortstop position once again has been put on the shoulders of returning Riders Cam Schiller and Ty Forney. Schiller a returning All-Region I shortstop put together a very impressive freshman campaign after hitting .363, 16 2B, and swiping 14 bases. With an added year and every day playing experience Forney may very well be best suited for making a position change across second base. “Forney has a knack for getting on base and making things happen” says Smeltzer. After batting in the middle of the order as a freshman in 2009 and driving in 38 runs while accumulating a .420 On Base Percentage, that statement rings true. “Defensively Forney has the ability to be the best shortstop in the league. It just so happens that he is competing with Cam for that spot and we’ll have to see how that competition pans out” adds Smeltzer. Either way the depth in the middle of the field for the 2010 Roughriders will be very fun to watch. Second Base sophomore Cameron Brown has awaited his opportunity and is more than capable of making third his everyday position. A strong and athletic player, Brown also has the ability to hit for power. Another Notre Dame Prep grad, Tony Piazza has shown the ability to be one of the Roughriders nine best hitters and making the position change from a high school short stop to third could be in his best interest. Returner Zach Haley has battled through injuries and will look to make his mark in this 2010 season. After hitting .400 in limited action as a freshman Haley will once again be counted on to play the position with consistency and effort. Newcomer Ashton McCoy (Pinnacle HS) has the ability to play anywhere on the infield but will probably see the majority of his freshman season at second for the Roughriders. McCoy has the ability to change a game with his glove and at the plate. First Base Newcomers Devon Zenn, Tony Piazza, and Ethan Leiter have battled for the right to be opening day starters at the corner. Zenn an outfielder by trade has shown the versatility to play either position and add another left handed bat to the Riders lineup. A 27th round draft selection by the Anaheim Angels, Zenn could enjoy a lot of success before his time at Yavapai is up. Outfield After losing 4 sophomore outfielders in 2009, there are many new faces roaming the outfield at Roughrider Park. Incoming transfer Demarcus Tidwell (Granada, MS) adds impressive tools to the revamped Rider lineup as does redshirt freshman Andrew Darwin (San Jacinto, CA). Darwin a 31st round selection by the LA Dodgers n the 2008 MLB draft will look to continue his improvement. With the addition of Devon Zenn, the depth in the middle of the outfield will be a strength. After losing centerfielder Jordan Payne, the Rider coaching staff will look towards one of these players to step in and command the position. Newcomer Steven Bier has the ability to hit in the middle of the Roughrider Lineup. A Desert Ridge, AZ grad was an all-state Arizona outfielder. He will spend time at a corner outfield position as will transfer James Cloud. Cloud is another Rider outfielder with impressive tools that will look to piece everything together this spring. James Dykstra will also compete for a position in the corner of the outfield while serving as a two-way player for the Roughriders. 12 | P a g e www.goroughriders.com - www.goroughriders.com 2010 YAVPAI BASEBALL 1 In 1996, Sky Smeltzer became the fifth head baseball coach in the Yavapai College baseball program’s history.

A natural lake located beneath the bubble rock formations known to Prescott and northern Arizona. In the center of it all lays “Old Town”, a historic downtown Prescott that dates back to the 1800s. The city of Prescott speaks for itself. Rated one of the top 5 places to live by Money Magazine, Prescott offers the convenience of a big city with the feel of small town America. That listing is among the praise affirming the charm of Yavapai College campus as well. Newly remodeled buildings and other landscapes synonymous with the natural beauty of the southwest add something extra to the experience among Yavapai students. To add to the quality of Prescott, Yavapai College has seen extensive upgrades. A recent approval of a bond saw more than $60 million dollars used on the improvement of Yavapai campus, including classrooms and athletic funding. With this funding Yavapai has seen improvements in technology as well. Personal computers in classrooms and free academic assistance highlight the numerous support systems here at Yavapai. www.goroughriders.com 34 2010 YAVAPAI BASEBALL PRESCOTT… AGAIN!!
