QUICK FACTS lovelady back for third season • Head coach Greg Lovelady returns for his third season at UCF with a career record of 199-99• Lovelady has changed the culture quickly in Orlando, setting the program record for most wins by a first-

year head coach and becoming the fastest coach to 75 victories in UCF history• Back in December, Lovelady was named the No. 1 in DI Baseball’s Top-10 Coaches Under 40

power rankings • Entering the year, several Knights were tabbed in DIBaseball’s Preseason Position Rankings.• First baseman Dallas Beaver and second baseman Matthew Mika were ranked 21st and 27th,

respectively.• Outfielders Tyler Osik (57th) and Ray Alejo (60th) were joined on the list by starting pitchers Trevor

Holloway (124th) and Chris Williams (186th).

power at the plate • The Knights return the heart of the order, with the exception of All-Conference selection Rylan Thomas,

who went in the 25th round of the MLB Draft to the Cincinnati Reds• Tyler Osik and Dallas Beaver will have to step up as the power producers this season. Osik led The

American with 56 RBI during his first campaign in Orlando, while Beaver hit .284 as a sophomore with 30 RBI

• The offense will also receive a major boost with the return of Anthony George after missing the 2018 campaign due to injury. He hit .294 over the course of 42 games as a sophomore in 2017

• Griffin Bernardo is poised for a sophomore jump following an impressive fall and a solid summer with the Cincinnati Steam of the Great Lakes Summer Collegiate League

speed on the paths • One staple of a Greg Lovelady team is a constant threat to steal bases. The Knights ranked ninth in the

nation with 109 stolen bases marking the first back-to-back 100-steal seasons since 2005• Ray Alejo and Matthew Mika finished fifth and 23rd, respectively, with 61 combined steals. The duo tied

for the most combined steals by a tandem last season• Alejo was placed on The American Preseason All-Conference Team• Of the 109 steals that UCF had last year, the Black and Gold return 84 swipes

willy, willy • Redshirt senior Chris Williams will be the lone returner to the rotation in 2019. Last season, Williams was

the only Knight to make a start in every weekend series• Williams started 15 games with a 4-3 record, a 2.81 ERA and a 1.64 walks per nine inning tally, which

led The American. He also posted a 4.65 strikeout-to-walk ratio, good for third in the league• Williams was picked to the Preseason All-Conference Team by the coaches in The American• Due to an NCAA compliance issue regarding his time as a member of the UCF club baseball team as a

freshman 2015, Williams will miss the first nine games of the season

rotation roles • While Williams is the only regular starter to return to the rotation, Lovelady will have no shortage of

starting arms on the weekends and in the midweek• Jordan Spicer is back and poised for a bounce back campaign. After transitioning to the bullpen midway

through 2018, the senior made nine appearances and had 15 strikeouts over 13 innings of work• Junior college transfer Trevor Holloway is set to be a regular feature in the weekend rotation. Holloway

won a national championship with Chipola last season, where he went 8-4 over 13 starts• Grant Schuermann is another arm that could find a spot on the weekend or in a midweek starting role.

The graduate transfer from Furman has made 35 starts in his career and totaled more than 225 innings of work

adding to the park • Prior to the season, the Knights unveiled a renovated locker room, made possible by the generous

contributions of sereval basebal alumni, including Matt Rhodes ‘05• The $140,000 project features new lockers, LED light fixtures, graphics on the baseboards and a UCF

baseball light fixture in the middle of the room that houses LEDs synced for a light show• The Premium Club is also completed for its first full season, including bar service, air conditioning and 240

seats.

THE SCORING

otte box • When pitching coach Justin Parker departed for Indiana in July, Lovelady turned to a familiar foe that he

had met during his time at Wright State in Xavier associate head coach Nick Otte• After a record setting career at Indiana from 1998 to 2002, Otte spent time on staff at IPFW,

Georgetown College, and Miami (Ohio), before moving to Xavier in 2010• During nine seasons in Cincinnati, Otte guided the Musketeers to a trio of Big East titles and three NCAA

Regional appearances• Otte brings a distinct coaching style that helps the pitching staff prepare and perform with a strong

mentality. In addition to mentoring the hurlers to shake off any bad pitches, Otte utilizes footage and advanced analytics to help the pitching staff improve

special knights • John Euliano Park will be the place to be this spring, as the Knights will not only have some of the most

exciting collegiate baseball in the nation, but several fun promotions for the entire seaosn• UCF will host Wrestling Knight on March 29, paying homage to Central Florida’s close ties to professional

wrestling• The Black and Gold will sport special Citronaut hats on April 5 for Citronaut Knight• UCF will thank the local suburbs for their support with Orlando’s Hometown Team Games: Oviedo

(March 2), Downtown Orlando (March 3), Winter Park (March 15), Baldwin Park (March 16), Avalon Park (March 30), and Winter Springs (April 27)

to the draft • UCF sent six players to the 2018 MLB Draft, five of whom elected to forgo their remaining collegiate

eligibility• Thad Ward (Boston, 5th) and JJ Montgomery (Baltimore, 7th) went on day two. Ward was the highest

pick since Eric Skoglund in 2013 (3rd Round)• Bryce Tucker (San Francisco, 11th), Rylan Thomas (Cincinnati, 26th), Eric Hepple (Colorado, 27th) and

Cre Finfrock (Toronto, 29th) turned professional after hearing their names called• The six selections was the most since 2006 and is tied for the third most in program history

#builtbyucf • Entering the 2019 season, the Knights have 18 former players among the professional ranks,• Seven Knights received invitations to Spring Training - Chasen Bradford and Dylan Moore (Seattle), Eric

Skoglund and Ben Lively (Kansas City), Beau Taylor (Oakland), Drew Butera (Philadelphia) and Dan Winkler (Atlanta)

KNOW THE LINGO LEAVING A LEGACY One of the mantras that Coach Lovelady has instilled in the program is Leaving a Legacy. Each player realizes that they are a part of a larger picture that encompasses the entire history of UCF Baseball.

In order to leave their legacy, players must reach the bar that former teams have set for them, then raises it for future generations of Knights. Players are reminded of this phrase on the dugout card on game days.

TODAY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT DAY OF THE SEASON Another of Coach Lovelady’s mantras directs players to not take a day off or for granted.

The team hears that phrase before every practice and game. It also appears on the dugout card.

#BUILTBYUCF Heading into the 2018 season, the Knights will have 15 former student-athletes competing at various professional levels, including five in the Major Leagues. This hashtag is used when praising their professional accomplishments.

#UCFast First used by UCF Track & Field and later adopted by UCF Football, #UCFast has come to describe those blessed with the gift of speed. Teammate constantly compete for the title of fastest player for UCF Baseball.

BOX SQUAD A select few on the team are members of a group called the Box Squad. The squad consists of players with a stockier physique, led by Dallas Beaver and Tyler Osik.

The 2019 Box Squad roster includes Dallas Beaver, Tyler Osik, Griffin Bernardo, Adams Torres, Jay Lyons and Garrett Westberg.

#SKINNERSTRONG In December of 2015, Joe Skinner signed a National Letter of Intent to play for UCF. He never got the opportunity, as he was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia and passed away in April of 2016.

Close with other members of the Knights 2016 signing class, UCF honors Skinner with special wrist bands and by raising money for his foundation every year.

Dallas Beaver, Skinner’s best friend growing up, wears No. 38 to honor his lifelong friend. Beaver also dons a #SkinnerStrong wrist band every day.

LOVELADY’S CAREER

Greg Lovelady was named the head baseball coach at UCF on July 11, 2016. He will enter his third season in charge at UCF for the 2019 season.

Prior to the 2019 season and just shy of his 40th birthday, Lovelady was named the top coach in the nation under 40 years of age by DI Baseball.

The 2018 campaign saw the Knights post some historic storylines. On March 6, the Knights downed the top-ranked team in the nation for the first time in program history with a 9-7 victory over Florida. UCF turned around and completed its first sweep of a No. 1 ranked opponent with a 4-2 win in Gainesville the next night.

Lovelady guided UCF to its fifth-longest winning streak in program history at 13 games during the 2018 season. The Knights also recorded the second most shutouts in a single campaign with nine.

Pitching was the bedrock of the Knights’ success in 2018. The pitching staff led the nation with nine shutouts and finished third in the country in hits allowed per nine innings, a school record 7.2. UCF’s 3.32 ERA was among the top-15 nationally, while 9.8 strikeouts per nine innings ranked seventh and a 1.22 WHIP was ninth. The Black and Gold notched its second most punchouts in a single season with 556.

Continuing to improve the culture and talent level at UCF, Lovelady brought in the 16th ranked recruiting class, per Collegiate Baseball, prior to the 2018 campaign. After replacing 20 graduating seniors, the Knights went 35-21 with a 13-10 mark in The American to finish in fifth place, but the season came to a close when the Black and Gold found itself in the first four out of the NCAA Tournament.

In his first campaign with the Knights, Lovelady guided UCF to the American Athletic Conference regular-season title with an overall record of 40-22 and a 15-9 mark in league action, earning The American Coach of the Year honors in the process.

The Knights saw drastic improvements offensively and pitching in Lovelady’s first year. UCF jumped up to 66th in the nation in scoring from 222nd in 2016, eighth in stolen bases up from 77th and 44th in runs from 189th.

The pitching staff posted the fifth best ERA in the nation with a 3.0, compared to the 4.23 mark during the previous year. Pitchers took the team to 28th in strikeouts per nine innings, 24th in strikeouts-to-walks ratio and 10th in WHIP.

In his career, Lovelady has coached 38 MLB Draft picks between his three coaching stops, including 14 Top-10 round selections and nine tabbed in the first five rounds. Three players under Lovelady’s tutelage have gone in the first round, including the fifth overall pick in 2005 and Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun.

Lovelady came to Orlando after spending three years as the head coach at Wright State, where he led the Raiders to consecutive runner-up finishes at NCAA Regionals in 2015 and 2016. As the Raiders’ head coach, he has compiled a 124-56 record in three campaigns and was with the Raiders for a total of 12 years. Wright State has won the Horizon League Regular Season or Tournament Championship (or both) in each of Lovelady’s three seasons at the helm. He was named the 2014 and 2016 Horizon League Coach of the Year, as well as the 2016 ABCA/Diamond Mideast Regional Coach of the Year.

Lovelady went to WSU after a successful playing career and three-year stint with one of the nation’s elite teams in Miami (FL). The Hurricanes won two national championships, in 1999 and 2001, with Lovelady as the catcher. A four-year letterman for the ‘Canes, Lovelady captained the 2001 squad that won its second national championship in three years.

Lovelady hit a career best .314 with a 14-game hitting streak during his 1999 campaign. Lovelady was also a fan favorite in Coral Gables, receiving the Arnold Novins Award in 2001, an honor bestowed on the “Most Popular Player” as voted by the fans of Miami. The ‘Canes made a postseason appearance during each of Lovelady’s years as a player and coach in Coral Gables. UM Reached the College World Series five times and advanced to the NCAA super regional seven times while Lovelady was on campus.

Lovelady graduated from Miami in 2001 with a degree in Finance and a minor in Sports Management as a member of the university’s deans list. Professionally, Lovelady played with the Utica Blue Sox, an affiliate of the Florida Marlins, and helped develop two UM catchers and numerous pitchers into major league draft choices.

Lovelady and his wife Lindsay have two sons, Noah Preston, who was born on December 16, 2008, and Gavin Philip, born on June 10, 2012
