While Head Coach Tom Arrington, now in his 16th season, has been at the helm, the program has continued to excel on and off the field. 2016 should be no different. In fact, this year’s ball club may just be the best to take the field at John Ray Harrison Field at Andy Pettitte Park, thanks in part to the continued support from former Gator Andy Pettitte. The team is deep on the mound as well as among position players. As a team, this looks to be another exciting year, a year in which all four facets needed for a successful and deep run into the Region XIV and World Series tournaments are in place. San Jacinto College has been fortunate to compete at a high level for many years and under Arrington, it’s been no different. He has managed more than 70 players that have gone on to play baseball at a professional level, with 13 of those players playing in the big leagues. “I’ve been extremely fortunate in my time at San Jacinto College,” said Arrington. “I am honored to represent this institution and to work for a supportive Board of Trustees and administration. I have been blessed to have talented assistant coaches who are family to me, and year in and year out, I am surrounded by very gifted and goal-driven young men. This year is no different. Winning championships are team goals; however, nothing makes me more proud than to see our players graduate, sign with fouryear institutions, and play professionally, and eventually get married, have kids, come back, and reminisce.” The 2016 squad has a handful of returnees with JUCO World Series experience who will captain and lead this team. Max Wood, Colten Schmidt, Kyle Barfield and Donny Diaz, among others, return for their sophomore season, and will play major roles again. Along with them is a gifted recruiting class. The San Jac staff reloaded on the mound with two big time arms in Devin Smeltzer (Vorhees, New Jersey), a Florida Gulf Coast University transfer and the top-ranked left handed pitcher in the country, and Montana Parsons (The Woodlands, Texas), a Texas State University transfer who is also highly ranked with a pitch speed up to 95 mph. Joining them are incoming freshmen Kila Kaphie (Ewa Beach, Hawaii) and Garret Hutson (Wichita, Kansas) who will find extensive time on the mound. “I like what we have on the mound going into the season,” noted volunteer assistant coach Eric Weaver. “We have a mix of power arms, crafty arms, and guys who will flat out compete. To be successful, you’ve got to pitch, and from what we saw this Fall, this staff can pitch.” Position players to look for this season include significant transfers in infielder / right handed pitcher Caden Williams (Missouri City, Texas) from Blinn College, and short stop / second baseman Brandon Montgomery (Collierville, Tennessee) from the University of Memphis. They are accompanied by the nation’s top-ranked short stop / second baseman, Nick Shumpert (Lone Tree, Colorado), first baseman / outfielder Liam Scaffariello (Southington, Connecticut), and catcher / outfielder Ryan January (Swampscott, Massachusetts). “Many of our incoming freshmen are highly ranked in PerfectGame USA Rankings,” noted assistant coach Jimmy Durham. “It is an honor for the players to be recognized for their talents as well as an honor for us as a program. We work hard and spend many hours away from our families to represent San Jac and bring these outstanding and talented student-athletes to campus.” Volunteer Assistant Coach Kory Koehler adds that the coaching staff is comfortable with this year’s ball club. “Sometimes you are fortunate enough to gather an abundance of talent and you can just sit back and let the guys play,” he said. “Sure, you manage them and direct them, and put them in a position for success, but that tends to happen on practice days. We have a belief here at San Jac that practice days are the staff’s days; game days are the player’s days.” This season should be another successful one on the field and in the classroom for San Jacinto College baseball. Expectations are high, and both the coaches and players believe that the sky is the limit.

Cypress | Concordia Lutheran HS (University of San Diego) “John is an aggressive and physical player with D1 experience having transferred from the University of San Diego. We will look for him to provide a spark and high tempo energy wherever he finds himself in the lineup.” R/R | 5-9 | 180 | Fresh. Sugar Land | Kempner HS “Tanner is capable of playing multiple positions. He swings a heavy barrel and has the ability to change the game with his bat.” Ryan January, C/OF 4 5 Colten Schmidt, LHP 6 7 L/R | 6-3 | 200 | Fresh. Swampscott, Massachusetts | Swampscott HS “Ryan is an early high school graduate who was an LSU commit prior to committing to San Jacinto College. He is a physical athlete behind the plate and can play the OF or 1B as well. His left-handed bat is highly regarded as he is the 13th ranked player nationally and #1 overall catcher by PerfectGame USA.” L/L | 5-11| 155| Soph. La Porte | La Porte HS “Colten returns in 2016 and looks to play a bigger role for San Jac on the mound. He has developed a plus slider and has always had a bulldog mentality. We look for Colten to be a rotational left handed pitcher and win a ton of games in 2016. Colton enters 2016 as the 87th ranked player in the country by PerfectGame USA and is a University of LouisianaLafayette commit.” 8 Justin Martinez, INF R/R | 6-1 | 195 | Fresh. Aurora, Colorado | Smoky Hill HS “Justin is a very solid defender that can play multiple defensive positions. He will compete for playing time at 2nd and 3rd base. We look for him to gain experience and become a great player down the road.” 4 3 Tanner Schuetz, INF/OF zachary Kapihe, RHP/INF R/R | 5-8 | 170 | Fresh. Ewa Beach, Hawaii | Campbell HS “Kila is a bulldog. A freshman from 2015 Hawaii State High School Championship Campbell High; Kapihe is a competitor on the mound and in the field. Its fun to watch 92-93mph fastballs from this young man. Look for him to be in the Gators rotation in 2016.” Brandon Montgomery, INF R/R | 6-0 | 180 | Soph. Collierville, Tennessee | Collierville HS (University of Memphis) “A University of Memphis transfer, Brandon may just be the most entertaining player to watch play on the team. Always a step ahead, he has the uncanny ability to be in the right place at the right time. He opened the season as the 32nd ranked player in the country and 3rd overall short stop by PerfectGame USA and has already committed to the University of Miami.” 9 Wayne Roberts, OF L/L | 5-10 | 185 | Fresh. Brooklyn, New York | Tinity-Pawling HS “Wayne is an athletic outfielder and has the ability to change the game with his fluid LH swing. We look for Wayne to compete for a job at one of the outfield positions.” San Jacinto College Baseball 2016 Player Bios Baine Schoenvogel, C 10 11 Devon Wilson, INF 12 13 R/R | 6-0 | 195 | Soph. Galveston | Ball HS “Baine brings a wealth of experience back from 2015. He will provide depth on the mound and compete for a starting role behind the plate. We haven’t seen this type of arm at the catching position since the Hornback brothers (Ryan and Riley) and Kyle Bacak. His arm shuts down the opponents running game.” R/R | 5-10 | 160 | Fresh. Houston | Stratford HS “Devon is a very athletic Inf with quick hands and instincts. We feel comfortable with Devon adding depth to our middle infield.” 14 Jorge Fernandez, RHP R/R | 5-10 | 195 | Soph. Del Rio | Del Rio HS (Texas State University) “Jorge is one of the hardest working individuals we have ever had. He transitioned from infield to pitcher last year and was one of our closers. With his 92-94 MPH fastball and 81 MPH slider, he should assume the same role. We are in good hands when he toes the rubber.” Brandon Krennrich, C R/R | 6-1 | 195 | Fresh. McHenry, Illinois | Johnsburg HS “Brandon is a tremendous asset for San Jac in 2016. A University of Kentucky commit out of high school, he decided to come to San Jac to improve his skill set and open other options for the future. We believe he will compete for a starting role behind the plate.” Devin Smeltzer, LHP 15 Aaron Bond, OF 17 R/L | 6-2 | 195 | Soph. Voorhees, New Jersey | Bishop Eustace Prep (Florida Gulf Coast University) “When you think of professional prospects, Devin is the first name that comes to mind. He has tremendous deception and feel for three pitches from the left side. Devin comes off a very successful Cape Cod League campaign in the summer of 2015 after a year at Florida Gulf Coast University. He enters 2016 as the 6th ranked player overall and the top overall left handed pitcher per PerfectGame USA. Devin is committed to Texas Tech University.” 16 L/R | 6-4 | 185 | Fresh. South Bend, Indiana | Clay HS “Aaron is an athletic outfielder with a smooth, professionally projectable lefthanded swing. He should compete for time at one of the three outfield positions.” For more information about the baseball team, please visit www.sanjacsports.com Montana Parsons, RHP R/R | 6-3 | 180 | Soph. Conroe | College Park HS (Texas State University) “Montana is a power armed right handed pitcher who can run it up to 95 MPH. He controls both sides of the plate and will go right after hitters. We look for him to set the tone as a rotational pitcher. Montana is a Texas State University transfer and will continue his education after San Jac at Baylor University. He enters 2016 as the 21st ranked player in the country by PerfectGame USA.” Tucker Cascadden, INF R/R | 5-10 | 185 | Soph. Houston | Lamar HS (West Virginia University) “Tucker is one of the more skilled defenders in our infield. He is gifted with the glove and showcases pop with the bat. This club has tremendous depth at the infield position and Tucker is a major factor. He should find a lot of innings, and after transferring from West Virginia University this summer he will continue on to Baylor University after this spring.” 5 Player Bios 18 Logan Ashworth, RHP R/R | 6-2 | 190 | Fresh. Beaumont | Port Neches Grove HS “Logan is a power right handed pitcher with a plus breaking ball. The cousin of former Gator and San Francisco Giant organizational player, Jesse Floyd, Logan looks to provide depth on the rubber after successful Tommy John Surgery in 2015.” Sugar Land | Dulles HS (Blinn College) “Caden comes to San Jac from Blinn College after taking off the Spring of 2015. He is an athlete that can play multiple infield positions, pitch and change a game with his bat. Caden brings JUCO World Series experience and can flat out hit.” Donivan Lopez, INF 20 21 Nick Shumpert, INF 22 23 25 27 R/R | 5-11 | 175 | Fresh. Sinton | Sinton HS “When someone asks us about our athleticism, we think of Donivan. He can hit, field, throw and burn the bases with 6.44 speed. There are very few individual players in the country, let alone Texas, with his game changing speed. He will have a huge impact on our lineup.” R/R | 6-0 | 180 | Fresh. Lone Tree, Colorado | Lone Tree HS “Nick may be the most sought after infielder in the nation by professional scouts at any level. This young man is as impressive as it gets defensively. He dual committed with the University of Kentucky and San Jac and was drafted in the 7th round by the Detroit Tigers in 2015. He undoubtedly will be drafted in the top five rounds this June and enters 2016 as the 3rd ranked overall player in the country and the top short stop by PerfectGame USA.” Garrett Hutson, RHP/INF R/R | 6-1 | 200 | Fresh. Wichita, Kansas | St. Thomas Aquinas HS “Garrett has an unconventional delivery and power in his right arm. He has been clocked up to 96 MPH on the mound and should provide huge depth out of the pen if not as a starter. Garrett was a dual commitment with San Jac and Oklahoma State University in 2015.” 6 19 Caden Williams, RHP/INF R/R | 5-11 | 190 | Soph. Cody Nesbit, RHP R/R | 6-2 | 170 | Soph. La Porte | La Porte HS “Cody has become one of the most impressive sidearm pitchers in the state. He transitioned from over the top in high school to sidearm as a freshman at San Jac in 2015. Now, with a year under his belt, he will find a lot of innings shutting the door for San Jac. Cody is committed to the University of Houston.” Andrew Mahoney, LHP L/L | 6-2 | 210 | Soph. Daphine, Alabama | McGill-Toolen HS (Mississippi State University) “Andrew is a Mississippi State University mid-term transfer. Highly regarded out of high school in 2014, Andrew was the second ranked left handed pitcher in Alabama. We look for him to provide many left-handed innings and depth from that side.” Hunter McClellan, RHP R/R | 6-2 | 180 | Fresh. Nacogdoches | Nacogdoches HS “Hunter comes to San Jac from Nacogdoches High School. As a solid right handed pitcher, he will provide depth to the rotation.” San Jacinto College Baseball 2016 Player Bios 28 Kyle Barfield, OF Where are they from? R/R | 6-0 | 175 | Soph. College Station | A&M Consolidated HS “Kyle was a role player most of 2015 before becoming one of the Gators most reliable players on the team. Kyle was a single JUCO W.S. at bat away from breaking Kirby Pucket’s long standing tournament avg. record. We believe Kyle will be the cornerstone of our leadership and one of our most reliable players yet again in 2016.” New Jersey Texas 29 Seth Young, INF L/R | 6-3 | 210 | Soph. Olive Branch, Mississippi | Memphis University HS (Itawamba Community College) “Seth comes to us as one of the most consistent left handed hitters in our lineup. He should compete for a starting role at 1st base or as a designated hitter. We look forward to what he can do at the plate.” Mississippi British Columbia Hawaii 30 Jerry Maddox, RHP R/R | 6-0 | 185 | Fresh. Dayton | Dayton HS “Jerry was one of the more impressive pitchers this past Fall. He has an innate ability to pitch to both halves of the plate and throw a plus curve ball at any point in the count. He will add tremendous depth and will be called upon often in 2016. There is a reason he led the Greater Houston Area in strikeouts as a junior and senior at Dayton High School, and he showcased that this Fall.” 31 Dillon Dinges, C R/R | 6-3 | | 195 | Fresh. Sugar Land | Dulles HS “Dillon is one of the hardest working individuals we have ever been around. When you think of a player you want to represent your program on and off the field, Dillon comes to mind. He will compete for time behind the plate in 2016.” Massachusetts Indiana Illinois Colorado New York Kansas Connecticut Tennessee For more information about the baseball team, please visit www.sanjacsports.com 7 Player Bios 32 33 Chris Roberts, RHP/INF/OF R/R | 6-0 | 170 | Fresh. 34 36 38 39 Jarod Bayless, RHP R/R | 6-4 | 220 | Fresh. Texarkana | Pleasant Grove HS “Jarod is a power arm right handed pitcher who will compete for innings in 2016. He has tremendous upside and should pitch professionally after his collegiate days are over. We couldn’t be more proud of Jarod both on the field and in the classroom.” Baytown | Baytown Sterling HS “Chris is another one of those athletes that can do it all. He can play any position in the outfield, infield, and on the mound. He was 96 from the outfield in the Fall Scout Day. He has been up to 92 on the mound and can really play. He may be the first player in San Jac history to play all nine positions in a single game.” Gonzalo garcia, LHP/1B L/L | 6-4 | 205 | Soph. Houston | Langham Creek HS “Gonzalo is a pure hitter from the left side. His fluid gap-to-gap stroke can change the momentum of the game at any moment. He should compete for the designated hitter spot in 2016 and will find time at 1st base as well.” Max Wood, INF R/R | 6-0 | 175 | Soph. Vancouver, British Columbia | West Vancouver Secondary HS “Max is our team captain and a leader. His approach to the game on game day and at practice is always the same, 110 percent. This is the type of player a coaching staff dreams about. Athletically gifted and motivationally sound with a team approach.” James Todd, RHP R/R | 6-7 | 190 | Fresh. Houston | Second Baptist HS “James was quite the surprise this Fall. Rehabbing a pre-existing arm strain from high school, we didn’t expect much and thought 2016 may end up being a rehab year. He then toed the rubber, was up to 92 and showcased a big league splitter. Professional scouts are biting at the bit to see more of James this Spring and so are we.” Gabe Solis, INF S/R | 5-10 | 185 | Soph. Houston | Lamar HS “Gabe is a very good switch hitter with a fluid fielding skill set. Gabe returns in 2016 as a role player and one we feel confident in to make in-game adjustments. He is a team player and leader.” San Jac Baseball in the Community San Jacinto College baseball student-athletes are committed to giving back to their community. Each year, the team participates in a number of events on and off the field. From supporting breast cancer awareness with the annual Play Pink game and visiting children in the hospital, to supporting the annual San Jacinto College Foundation golf tournament, San Jacinto College baseball student-athletes understand the impact they have on their community. 8 San Jacinto College Baseball 2016 Donny Diaz, RHP 40 44 Dorrien Hermosura, LHP/1B 45 49 Braeden Holub, RHP 50 55 R/R | 6-0 | 230 | Soph. Kingsville | Kingsville HS “Donny returns in 2016 as San Jac’s main closer. He has a power arm, up to 94 with an 82 mph slider. He is a professional prospect and should get plenty of attention in 2016. Donny enters 2016 as the 89th ranked player in the country per PerfectGame USA.” L/L | 5-8 | 235 | Fresh. Ewa Beach, Hawaii | Campbell HS “Dorrian is the type of player you want on your team. Gifted as a player, he has the ability to keep the team loose and relaxed. He is very good defensively at first base, has a fluid left handed swing, and is a strike thrower on the mound. Dorrian lead the Campbell High School Sabers to the Hawaii state championship as the starting pitcher in 2015.” R/R | 6-5 | 270 | Fresh. Tomball | Tomball HS (University of Houston) "Braeden comes to San Jac after a redshirt year at the University of Houston. He is an upper 80's, low 90's right-handed pitcher who throws strikes. He will compete for relief innings and should throw a lot in 2016." For more information about the baseball team, please visit www.sanjacsports.com Player Bios Liam Scafariello, INF/OF R/R | 6-4 | 240 | Fresh. Southington, Connecticut | Southington HS “Liam is by far, the most intriguing professional prospect on the San Jacinto College roster due to the fact that he hasn’t played much high level competition yet. A hulking young man who has next level power and athleticism. The kid can flat out play and hasn’t even begun to understand his body or skill set yet. He is a 6.56 runner and can play the outfield, first base or designated hitter. Liam will be a tremendous asset to San Jac in 2016.” Patrick Donaho, LHP L/L | 6-5 | 210 | Fresh. Houston | Stratford HS “Patrick is a strike throwing left handed pitcter who has steadily improved over a redshirt year last season. With time, we believe Patrick will pitch professionally as he continues to improve. We look forward to watching his progression.” Hudson Treu, RHP R/R | 6-3 | 190 | Fresh. Houston | Houston Christian HS (Pepperdine University) “Consistency. That’s what you get with Hudson. He held a zero ERA halfway through 2015. He is our go-to guy, and could find time as a starter in 2016. This young man is tremendous in the classroom as well and we couldn’t be more proud.” 9 Coaching staff Bios Tom Arrington Head Coach Texas A&M University (1987) Overall: 642-268 (.705), 15 seasons Last season, San Jac recorded a 43-21 overall record, returning to the JUCO World Series for the 23rd time in school history. Riley Smith was selected in the 31st round of the Major League Baseball FirstYear Player Draft, eight players earned post-season honors, 10 players were selected to participate in the Texas / New Mexico All-Star game, and a record 16 student-athletes signed National Letters of Intent to continue their education and baseball careers at four-year universities. 2014 produced a 30-win season for San Jac as the team went 32-28 overall, and 20-20 in conference play. Five players earned postseason awards, led by Josh Palacios and Matt Eureste who were named to the all-Region XIV team. In addition, Toller Boardman, Austin Homan, and Josh Croft earned a spot on the all-Conference team. In June, six players were selected in the 2014 Major League Baseball (MLB) First-Year Player Draft. In 2013, San Jacinto College again won the Region XIV South Conference Championship after a 35-21 (22-8) regular season. Four players earned all-conference honors, and Arrington was named the Region XIV Coach of the Year. Arrington’s 2012 season was another 40-win season for San Jacinto College, as it went 41-27 on the way to a national runner-up, the second in three years. Arrington earned his 500th career win in a 3-0 win over Blinn College on Feb. 18. Starting pitcher A.J. Glasshof hurled a complete game no-hitter, the first nine inning no-hitter in the College’s history. Six players were named to the All-Conference team, and, for a fourth consecutive year, Arrington was named the South Zone Coach of the Year. The team shut out the defending JUCO champions Navarro College 1-0 in the final game of the regional tournament to earn a record 22nd trip to the national tournament. (MLB) first-year player draft, and the pitching duo of Tyler Wright and Miguel Pena went 20-4 overall, earning All-America honors. The 2010 season was one of the most successful under Arrington. He guided San Jac to an unprecedented 21st trip to the NJCAA World Series, finishing as the national runner-up. Four players were named to the All-Tournament team in Grand Junction, three earned postseason honors, and nine were selected in the MLB first-year player draft. San Jac’s appearance in the national championship game was the 12th in program history, and the national runner-up finish was the seventh. San Jac finished the season with a 52-12 overall record. 2009 was, by all measures, a successful season, despite not having a home field to play on due to construction at JR Harrison Field. Nine baseball student-athletes were named to the allconference team, and Arrington was tabbed as the conference coach of the year. Deric Hawkins and Tommy Collier earned NJCAA All-American honors in leading San Jac to a 45-11 record, the conference title, and a tie for fourth at the World Series. In 2008, Arrington led San Jac to a 44-14 record, and saw two of his players from that team drafted in the majors. San Jac advanced to the semifinals of the Region XIV tournament, just shy of a return trip to the JUCO World Series. In 2007, Arrington guided San Jac to a 46-16 record, complete with another conference crown, Region XIV tournament title and a thirdplace finish at the World Series. Along the way, Arrington surpassed the 300-win mark as head coach at San Jacinto College. In his first six years as head coach (2001-2016), Arrington was 264-102. Photo courtesy Buddy Bair Leading the baseball program at San Jacinto College means more than performing a job for Tom Arrington. The way he sees it, he has an obligation to both the College and his players to help them continue their development and extend their playing career. So far, so good for Arrington, who took over the San Jacinto College program as head coach prior to the 2001 season. Since then, San Jacinto College has made nine trips to the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) JUCO World Series, including four appearances in the national title game, culminating as the national runner-up in 2003, 2004, 2010, and 2012. The 2011 season ended earlier than Arrington would have liked, but the success of his team and players can’t be overlooked. It was another 40-win season (40-16) for San Jacinto College, six players were drafted in the Major League Baseball 10 San Jacinto College Baseball 2016 Coaching staff Bios Wayne Graham, now the head coach at Rice University, led San Jac to five national titles from 1985 to 1990 and won 586 games over 11 seasons. Graham’s successor, Chris Rupp, took San Jac to four consecutive World Series (1997, 1998, 1999, 2000), with appearances in the national championship game in 1998 and 1999. While the national title has proven to be elusive to San Jac under Arrington’s tutelage, Arrington and his staff have helped more than 150 of San Jacinto players find homes at collegiate institutions, and over 70 at the professional level. For him, it’s all part of his obligation as the team’s leader. “It’s extremely gratifying to have quality athletes come in here and help us be what we believe is the premier junior college program in the country,” Arrington said. “First and foremost, they are getting a quality education and at the same time they are continuing to develop and showcase their skills to a point where they either move on to the Division I level on scholarship or sign professional contracts for large signing bonuses. I think we accomplish those three goals, including the education, as well as anyone in the nation.” The Arrington Coaching File Season Record 2015 43-21 2014 32-28 2013 35-21 2012 41-27 2011 40-16 2010 52-12 With Arrington’s intense focus on the prize, there’s no reason to doubt his confidence. As a player, Arrington was intent on becoming the best he could be. His college career included two seasons at Texas A&M University, and he later pitched at the Triple A level for both the Montreal Expos and Texas Rangers. 2009 45-11 2008 44-14 Arrington began his coaching career in 1991 at the College of Mateo. Later came stops at San Francisco State University and College of Marin. In 2000, Arrington arrived in Houston as San Jac’s assistant coach, where he focused on the pitchers. Nearly two seasons later, he was named head coach, and in the Spring of 2011, was named the athletic director for the San Jacinto College North Campus. 2007 46-16 2006 38-25 “We look at our program as one of the best in the country,” Arrington said. “We also have an obligation to make sure these young men get the best education possible. That’s simply a personal belief of mine. We have to prepare these guys for lifelong success, not just baseball success. They have to be able to deal with success or failure on and off the field. We live in a demanding society, so we make sure our players are well prepared.” 2005 39-17 2004 41-22 2003 52-13 2002 54-11 2001 40-14 Overall 642-268 Arrington is confident the day will come when the national trophy again comes home to Houston. It will take skill, desire and some luck, but Arrington is committed to ensuring that current and future San Jacinto College players are placed in a great position to be successful. “We have that desire to sustain our performance on the field, and with that hopefully comes a dominance of the region,” Arrington said. “With nine trips (to the national tournament) in 15 years, I think we’re doing that. That highly coveted first national championship for this group of coaches and the players is still in our sights. When it’s our year, it will be our year. I also believe that when we win one, we may win several after that. Our time is coming.” The Mill Valley, Calif., native began his playing career at College of Marin where he was an all-conference selection. He then played two years at Texas A&M University where he earned two letters, was all-conference, and the Southwest Conference tournament most Valuable Player. He also earned the C.E. “Pat” Olsen MVP award. Arrington holds a master’s degree from San Francisco State University. Arrington played professionally for the Triple A team of the Texas Rangers; in Guadalajara, Mexico; for the Salt Lake Trappers; and the Single A farm team of the Montreal Expos. Coach Arrington and his wife, Marya, have a son Alden (16) and a daughter Anya Lily (13).

In 2005, Durham was an assistant coach at New Mexico Junior College when the Thunderbirds won the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) JUCO World Series. He came to San Jacinto College with the same goal in mind and knows that San Jacinto College is on target – especially after the success of the past several seasons. A former catcher at San Jacinto College (1999-2000), Kory Koehler is now entering his 16th season with the team. As a player, Koehler was fortunate enough to play in two JUCO World Series, and during his time as a coach, the team has made nine trips to Grand Junction. Obviously, Koehler appreciates the success he’s been a part of as a coach. Winning at a consistent level certainly involves having talented players and crafted coaches, but Koehler has seen San Jacinto College go the extra step. “I think the standard for excellence and for winning at a high level has been set, and the players who come to San Jacinto College understand that and in turn do what’s necessary to be successful,” noted Durham. “You do have to have some luck to win the national title, but you also have to have the players and the dedication to be great. We have both of those here.” “As a staff, we are excited about the new direction the program has taken,” Koehler said. “With change comes new opportunity. With new opportunity comes new responsibility. And with that comes renewed excitement. I am honored that Coach Arrington has entrusted me to manage the offensive aspect of the game.” A former high school standout in the Houston area at Madison High School, Durham played collegiately at Ranger Junior College and Lubbock Christian. He then went on to coach at the high school level at Livingston and Clements. He knows the area well and has used his connections to help San Jac recruit the best talent available. On the field, San Jac has used that talent to win big. The 36-year-old Koehler, originally from North Bay, New York, graduated from the University of Houston in 2006 with a Bachelor of Science, and in 2008 with a Master of Education in Physical Education. In the summer of 2015, Kory led the Houston Collegiate League Gators to a league championship. “We push our players to be better, but they expect that from us,” Durham said. “That’s why they come here. The players are looking for future success in the Division I ranks and perhaps the professional level. San Jacinto College is a great place to continue that growth as a player.” In addition to his duties with the San Jacinto College baseball team, Kory is the physical education lead faculty and wellness director on the San Jacinto College North Campus. He and his wife, Erika, were married in November 2006. The couple has a son Keaton Jax (4), and welcomed their second child, Kason Jett, in March 2015. Durham holds a bachelor of science degree from Lubbock Christian University and a master’s degree from the University of Houston. He has six children: Tyler (25), Maggie (24), Kyle (22), Andrew (19), AnnaMae (17), and Hannah (16). Jimmy and his wife Shannon were married on July 23, 2011. 12 San Jacinto College Baseball 2016 Coaching staff Bios Jason Krug Eric Weaver Volunteer Assistant Coach Volunteer Assistant Coach Missouri Valley College (1995) Eighth Season Texas State University (2008) Second Season Jason Krug is in his 10th season with the San Jacinto College baseball coaching staff. Prior to joining the San Jacinto College program, he spent two seasons as a volunteer assistant coach at the University of LouisianaLafayette where he assisted in the coaching of the middle infielders and hitters. In 2007, the Ragin Cajuns won the Sun Belt Conference championship and advanced to the NCAA regional tournament. In December 2007, Krug was named head coach of the Edenton (N.C.) Steamers in the Coastal Plains Summer Collegiate League. During the summer of 2008, the Steamers won the first-half divisional championship with an overall record of 20-7. For his efforts, he was named one of the head coaches for the 2008 Coastal Plains League All-Star game. Krug has also held coaching positions as an assistant coach at Southwestern University, where he was the hitting coach. He worked as an instructor and coach for the Austin Wings, serving as the head coach for the 17-under premier showcase team. Other coaching stints include the 2000 AAU national finalist team and the 2001 Connie Mack state champions. In 2006, Krug led the Wings to the 17-and-under Premier National Championship. Before entering the collegiate coaching ranks, Krug spent nine years teaching and coaching at the high school level. The 43-year old holds a bachelor’s degree in secondary education from Missouri Valley College, where he was a two-sport athlete in baseball and football. When not assisting Tom Arrington and the Gators, Jason is leading as the president of Baseball USA, a non-profit organization dedicated to young baseball and softball players. Eric Weaver joined the San Jacinto College baseball coaching staff in the Fall of 2014 and hit the ground running. Among his duties at San Jac are pitching and infield coaching, and assisting with player recruitment. He also serves as the baseball facility coordinator. Weaver was a standout college pitcher and successful college coach, bringing with him talents and strengths that will help the San Jacinto College baseball team. “Eric diversifies our approach to recruiting players locally as well as throughout the state,” said Head Coach Tom Arrington. “He has a strong contact base and is highly respected in the region. He shows a great passion for the game and the development of young players. He also possesses a great knowledge of situational strategies, which will be an asset to me during team management.” Weaver graduated from Deer Park High School in 2003, where he was a twosport standout, earning all-District honors in baseball and football. He went on to be a starting pitcher at Alvin Community College, and was voted to the Texas / New Mexico JUCO All-Star game after his freshman year. He was the team’s most valuable player in 2006, earning all-Conference recognition. Weaver continued his academics and baseball at Texas State University, where he was ranked the fifth most effective pitcher in the Southland Conference in 2007, posting a 6-1 record in 30 appearances. That season, Weaver had five saves with a 2.23 ERA, allowing 33 hits and seven walks, with 33 strikeouts and a .212 opponents’ batting average. He saw limited action in his senior year due to a shoulder injury. Weaver returned to Alvin Community College to serve as its infield coach and recruiting coordinator from 2011 to 2014. During that time, the Alvin baseball team won the South Zone Championship in 2014, and was ranked third in the nation in the Perfect Game poll, the highest national ranking in the college’s history. In 2014, Weaver served as an assistant coach in the Karl Young Collegiate League, a Houston-area summer league. He went on to serve as head coach in 2015, and will do so again in 2016. He holds a bachelor’s degree in occupational education from Texas State University. Weaver and his wife, Kassi, were married in 2012. The couple have a son, Easton, born in September 2015. The family resides in Deer Park.

Williams played at Wharton County Junior College, Alvin College, and the University of Houston, before a professional career that spanned 20 seasons with the Toronto Blue Jays, San Diego Padres, St. Louis Cardinals, and Houston Astros. His experience and wealth of knowledge will be an asset to the San Jac baseball program. Prior to joining San Jacinto College in the Fall of 2015, Williams coached three years at Fort Bend Christian Academy, and spent two seasons with the Houston Heat. “I am very excited to be here and be a part of this team,” Williams said. “I enjoy being around the players and helping them to grow as young men and baseball players. My coaching philosophy has always been to play the game in the right way with respect and integrity, and I hope I can show these players how to do that.” Williams made his major league debut on May 14, 1993, for the Blue Jays. He began his pitching career in the majors as a reliever, but was moved to a full-time starter in 1997. His career blossomed after being traded to St. Louis in August of 2001, where he went 7-1 with a 2.28 ERA in 11 starts for the Cardinals. He went on to be named to the 2003 All-Star team, and pitched in the playoffs. The right hander says his most memorable moment playing baseball was pitching in the playoffs in 2001. “There’s no way to describe the feeling of playing in the playoffs,” he said. However, he says coaching is more satisfying than playing because of the opportunity to see kids grow into young men. His message to those kids wanting to play collegiately and professionally is, “You have to be coachable, willing to learn, and do whatever it takes to become the best in your craft.” Deric Hawkins Volunteer Assistant Coach Second Season Jessica Davenport Athletic Trainer Jeff Mullins Student Manager Williams and his wife, Kim, reside in Houston.

The annual San Jacinto College Foundation Golf Tournament, with guest host, and former Gator standout Andy Pettitte, raises money each year for the Promise for Their Future scholarship fund, which helps San Jacinto College students attend college and gain the skills they need to further their education or enter the workforce. To date, the tournament has raised more than $2.3 million. At the 2015 golf tournament, it was announced that the name of the San Jacinto College baseball facility will be renamed the John Ray Harrison Field at Andy Pettitte Park, thanks in part to the continued generous support of former San Jac baseball player Andy Pettitte. In addition to the renaming of the facility, other improvements are under consideration at the facility, including expanded covered seating, dugout and clubhouse capacity; and infrastructure needs. 16 San Jacinto College Baseball 2016 Individual Records Individual Single-Season Hitting Records Hits 1. 104, Thayer Swain (1988) 2. 102, Damon Thames (1997) 3. 101, Kevin Theiss (2000) 4. 97, Dan Robinson (1988) 5. 95, Kevin Russo (2004) Doubles 1. 30, Kevin Russo (2004) 2. 25, Kris Miller (2007) 3. 24, Will Crouch (2003) Drew Rogers (2000) 5. 21, Casey Baker (2000) Nick Stavinoha (2002) Nick Stavinoha (2003) Aaron Schroeder (1999) Kevin Theiss (2000) Triples 1. 10, Chris Moritz (1984) 2. 9, Karl Smith (2013) Karl Smith (2014) 3. 8, Mike Zatopek (1979) 4. 7, Dominique Lewis (1999) Tracy Dopheid (1980) Howard Martin (1978) Damon Thames (1997) Home Runs 1. 26, Kevin Theiss (2000) 2. 25, Nick Stavinoha (2002) 3. 24, Nick Stavinoha (2003) Thayer Swain (1988) 5. 22, Tom Hardgrove (1988) Runs Batted In 1. 96, Tom Hardgrove (1988) 2. 92, Kris Miller (2008) 3. 89, Kevin Theiss (2000) 4. 87, Nick Stavinoha (2002) 5. 83, Dan Robinson (1982) Runs Scored 1. 87, Dominique Lewis (1999) Dan Robinson (1988) 3. 81, Deric Hawkins (2009) 4. 77, Thayer Swain (1988) 5. 76, Joe Mikulik (1984) Nick Stavinoha (2003) Base on Balls 1. 60, Mark Simon (1987) 2. 59, Deric Hawkins (2010) 3. 54, Kirk Thompson (1987) 4. 52, Jason Gray (1998) Scott Bethea (1989) 5. 50, Bill Losa (1987) Jack Harris (2004) Kris Miller (2008) Reggie Wilson (2012) Stolen Bases 1. 47, Jarrett Higgins (2011) 2. 34, Randy Brown (1990) 3. 32, Kelvin Ramos (2013) 4. 31, Austin Homan (2015) 5. 30, Dominique Lewis (1999) Batting Average (Min. 100 AB) 1. .468, Brian Reagan (1993) 2. .450, Thayer Swain (1988) 3. .439, Brandon Belt (2007) Bud Ray (1982) 5. .435, Kevin Theiss (2000) On Base Average (Min. 100 AB) 1. .586, Thayer Swain (1988) 2. .549, Bud Ray (1982) 3. .537, Joe Mikulik (1984) 4. .535, Wes Gregerson (1980) Team Single-Season Hitting Records At bats 1. 2,097 (1988) 2. 2,090 (2004) 3. 2,087 (2003) 4. 2,084 (2002) 5. 2,071 (2010) Triples 1. 28 (1984) 2. 27 (2010) 3. 26 (1999) 4. 25 (2015, 1988) 5. 24 (1987) Runs Scored 1. 593 (1988) 2. 575 (1999) 3. 567 (2003) 4. 544 (1989) 5. 543 (2009) Batting Average 1. .364 (1999) 2. .352 (2009) 3. .348 (2003) 4. .344 (1988) 5. .343 (1982) Hits 1. 726 (2003) 2. 722 (1999) (1988) 4. 695 (2002) 5. 689 (1989) Home Runs 1. 101 (2009) 2. 100 (2003) 3. 97 (1999) 4. 85 (1988) 5. 82 (2000) Base on Balls 1. 385 (1987) 2. 379 (1985) 3. 377 (1988) 4. 367 (1989) On Base Average 1. .461 (1999) 2. .449 (2009, 2008) 4. .447 (1987) 5. .444 (1988, 1985) Doubles 1. 148 (2009) 2. 147 (2002) 3. 145 (1999) 4. 142 (2003) 5. 137 (2015, 2004, 2000) Runs Batted In 1. 518 (1988) 2. 513 (1999) 3. 509 (2003) 4. 498 (2009) 5. 496 (2002) Stolen Bases 1. 162 (1987) 2. 152 (2011) 3. 142 (1985) 4. 135 (2010) 5. 130 (2002) For more information about the baseball team, please visit www.sanjacsports.com 17 Individual Records Individual Single-Season Pitching Records Winning Percentage, Record (Min. 10 Wins) 1. .1000, 15-0, Steve Bowden (1985) .1000, 13-0, Sean Nolin (2010) 2. .947, 18-1, David Evans (1989) 3. .941, 16-1, Mark Smith (1987) 4. .934, 15-1, Dody Rather (1984) 5. .933, 14-1, Mark Smith (1988) Wins 1. 18-1, David Evans (1989) 2. 17-2, Clint Goocher (2003) 3. 16-1, Marck Smith (1987) 4. 16-2, Steve Camarda (1986) 5. 15-0, Steve Bowden (1985) 6. 14-2, Miguel Pena (2010) 7. 13-0, Sean Nolin (2010) Innings Pitched 1. 141.2, Toby Nivens (1986) 2. 136.2, Clint Goocher (2003) 3. 129.0, Daniel Stumpf (2012) 4. 127, David Evans (1989) 5. 125.2, Steve Camarda (1986) Strikeouts 1. 145, David Evans (1989) 2. 140, Clint Goocher (2003) 3. 134, Scott Barrett (1998) 4. 128, Tommy Collier (2009) 5. 122, Toby Nivens (1986) Daniel Stumpf (2012) ERA 1. 1.04, Mark Brogdon (1980) 2. 1.21, Clayton Stewart (2002) 3. 1.42, Sean Nolin (2010) 4. 1.51, Clint Goocher (2003) 5. 1.70, Jake Cowan (2009) 6. 1.72, Toby Nivens (1986) Team Single-Season Pitching Records Wins 1. 63 (1988) 2. 61 (1989) 3. 54 (2002) (1985) 5. 53 (1986) Conference Winning Percentage, Record 1. .933, 28-2 (1988) (1983) 3. .900, 27-3 (2010) (1987) (1985) (1982) Overall Winning Percentage, Record 1. .885, 54-7 (1985) 2. .875, 63-9 (1988) 3. .860, 43-7 (1981) 4. .859, 61-10 (1989) 5. .852, 52-9 (1987) ‘71 ‘00 ‘99 ‘85 18 ‘72 ‘74 ‘02 ‘86 Strikeouts 1. 589 (2010) 2. 543 (2012) 3. 539 (1989) 4. 531 (2015) 5. 520 (2009) ERA 1. 2.40 (1983) 2. 2.51 (2012) 3. 2.54 (1986) 4. 2.64 (1981) Innings Pitched 1. 552.67 (2012) 2. 532.1 (2010) 3. 517.2 (1997) 4. 516 (1987) 5. 512 (2002) ‘84 ‘03 ‘85 ‘04 ‘87 ‘86 ‘06 ‘89 5. 2.71 (2010) ‘87 ‘07 ‘88 ‘09 ‘89 ‘10 ‘90 ‘12 ‘97 ‘98 ‘15 ‘90 San Jacinto College Baseball 2016 Where Have They Gone?
