Head Coach Jim TomanRecord at Liberty: 119-75-1 (Fourth Year)Career Record: Same

After leading his team to a school-record 42 victories in 2010, Jim Toman enters his fourth year at Liberty with the best mark of any Flames head coach over his fi rst three years. Since taking over the program for the 2008 season, Liberty has won 35 or more games twice and last season posted only the second 40-win campaign in the 37-year history of the program. The Flames notched a 110-66-1 record during his fi rst three seasons on Liberty Mountain. On May 2, 2010, Toman recorded his 100th career victory, as the Flames defeated Gardner-Webb, 10-7, at Worthington Stadium. The sixth coach in program history, Toman became the fast-est Liberty baseball head coach to amass the milestone, passing fi rst coach Al Worthington, by reaching his 100th win in 160 games, six fewer than Worthington. The impressive strides made by the program have not gone unnoticed. This past November, Rivals.com cited Liberty as one being one of college baseball’s top 10 rising programs. Last season, the Flames had their best season under Toman, posting a school record for wins in a single season with a 42-19 record. The team’s ledger was boosted by a 21-8 road mark, the nation’s 10th-best road record in 2010. In addition, Liberty recorded a 19-7 mark in Big South play, eclipsing its record of the previous season for most victories by the school since joining the conference in 1992. The Flames fi nished second in the league’s regular season and were conference runner-up at the Big South Baseball Championship. Pitcher Shawn Teufel became the fourth player from one of Toman’s Liberty squads to be taken in the MLB Draft. The two-time Big South all-conference fi rst team pitcher and National Pitcher of the Year Watch list member capped a strong senior campaign by being selected by the Detroit Tigers. In 2009, Liberty recorded a 33-21 overall record, while posting a 17-9 mark in Big South Con-ference play. Liberty set a new fi elding standard in 2009, committing the fewest errors, 53, and fi nishing the year with the highest fi elding percentage, .974, in team history. From that infi eld, third baseman Tyler Bream was named a Freshman All-American by the Collegiate Baseball News. Pitcher Andrew Wilson became the third player during Toman’s time at Liberty to be taken in the MLB draft (Atlanta Braves). In 2008, the Flames fashioned a 13-3-1 record in the month of May to fi nish Toman’s fi rst sea-son at Liberty with a 35-26-1 mark. The record made Toman the winningest fi rst-year coach in the program’s history. He guided the Flames to their third straight Big South Championship title game appearance, claiming the conference’s runner-up position in 2008. Liberty’s May record was the best ever by a Flames team. In addition, the Liberty pitching staff set a new season strikeout record, fanning 508 oppos-ing batters during the year. The Flames’ strikeout total led the Big South Conference and their 8.2 strikeouts per nine innings ranked 22nd nationally at season’s end. Two pitchers from the staff, Ryan Page and David Stokes, went on to be drafted and play in the professional ranks. Page was taken in the 20th round of the MLB Draft by the Toronto Blue Jays, while Stokes was picked in the 28th round by the Detroit Tigers. Liberty fi nished its season with a 14-7 record in conference play. The mark allowed the Flames to claim the No. 2 seed for the Big South Championship, their highest seed for the Big South Base-ball Championship since a No. 1 seed in 2000. Liberty would go on to post four consecutive double-digit victories during six games in the Big South Championship to set a championship record with 55 runs scored. Toman was named the sixth head coach in the history of the Liberty Baseball program in June 2007, after 11 seasons as the senior member of Ray Tanner’s coaching staff at South Carolina. Toman worked a total of 18 years alongside Tanner, dating back to the 1990 season at N.C. State. During his time at South Carolina, Toman served as recruiting coordinator and coached the catchers. Known as one of the top recruiters in college baseball, the 22-year college coaching veteran was named the 2002 Baseball America/American Baseball Coaches Association Assistant Coach of the Year. Before joining the Gamecock staff in 1996, Toman served under Tanner for seven years at N.C. State. Toman has recruited 15 top 25 classes, including all 11 of his seasons at South Carolina. Dur-ing his fi nal years with the Gamecocks, he recruited many of the players who were members of the 2010 South Carolina National Championship team. From 2003-2006, three of the four Gamecock recruiting classes were ranked fi rst in the nation by Collegiate Baseball. During his time on the staff in Columbia, S.C., Toman and the Gamecocks made nine NCAA Regional appearances, including eight straight between 2000 and 2007, and three consecutive trips to the College World Series (2002-04). Add in his seven seasons at N.C. State, and Toman has helped lead 14 teams to NCAA Regional appearances. Toman was a four-year letterwinner at N.C. State from 1981-84, and served as team captain of the Wolfpack his junior and senior seasons.

What’s the RISP? Through the fi rst 18 games of the year, the Flames have hit .270 with runners in scor-ing position. Outfi elder Ian Parmley leds Liberty with a .438 batting average with runners in scoring position. Fellow outfi elders Doug Bream and Michael Robertson are next with .400 averages with runners in position. Bream leads the Flames by driving in 12 runs when hitting with runners in scoring positon. Meanwhile, Bream and second baseman Zach Haley paced the Flames in hitting with runners in scoring position and two out. Both Flames have hit .364 so far with that situation. In addition, six out of Haley’s seven RBIs this season have come while hitting with two outs. In comparison, Liberty hitters batted .316 with runners in scoring position (RISP) in 2010. Bream led the Flames with a .429 batting average with runners in scoring posi-tion, while catcher Nathan Thompson, who graduated last season, had 44 RBIs, the most with runners in scoring position. Justin Richardson has also hit .438 with runners in scoring position and two outs to lead the team.

Get Your Running Shoes On What a difference a year makes. So far this season, Liberty has tried to take advan-tage of its team speed, doubling its stolen base total through 18 games from a year ago. The Flames have stolen 28 bases in 35 attempts this season, compared to 2010, when the Flames swiped only 14 bases in 22 tries through 18 games. Leading the way for the Flames is catcher Casey Rasmus who is 6-for-6 in steal attempts this season and center fi elder Ian Parmley who is 6-9, thus far. In addition, shortstop Matt Williams and Michael Robertson each have swiped four bases. The Flames stolen base totals are defi nitely a stark contrast from last season, when only outfi elder Kenneth Negron had stolen four bases at this point in the year. What About Williams About the only thing to slow down Liberty shortstop Matt Williams this season has been the fl u. The shortstop has played in 17 games this season, missing Tuesday’s game at Maryland due to illness. The hot-hitting Williams returned on Wednesday to col-lect two more hits, including a two-run double to notch his team-leading ninth game with multiple hits. The junior has hit safely in 15 out of the 17 games he has played. He has also had two four-hit contests. He leads the Flames with a .408 batting average and entered the week listed sixth in the Big South in the category. Williams also entered the week second in the conference in hits. The junior also leads the team with 14 runs, seven doubles and a slugging percentage of .606. Last season, Williams was named to the Big South all-conference second team as a sophomore. The shortstop hit .360 with 30 RBIs and 52 runs scored. He tied with team-mate Tyler Bream and 2002 Flame shortstop Joey Monahan for second on the Liberty single season list with 22 doubles.

Picking Up the Pace With new bats and new rules to speed up time between innings and govern mound visits, the time Flames contests have been played in this season has seen a signifi cant drop. So far this season, Liberty games have run an average of 2:27, compared to 2:49 minutes at this point in the season in 2010, a 22-minute difference. Last season through 18 games, Liberty had already played six games which lasted three hours or longer, with the the longest being 3:43 in a 14-13, 10 inning setback to Manhattan on March 20. This season, the Flames have had only three games go over three hours, the longest 3:11 in a 17-5 loss in game two of a twinbill at Mercer on Feb. 19.

Are New Bats Affecting Power Numbers? How much has the new bat affected Liberty’s power hitting in 2011? So far this sea-son, the Flames have 45 extra base hits - 31 doubles, three triples and 11 home runs. In addition, Liberty has a .397 slugging percentage. In comparison at this point last season, the Flames had 25 more extra base hits or 36% more than this season. Jim Toman’s 2010 club had 70 extra base hits - 49 doubles, three triples and 18 home runs through 18 games. Also, it had a .488 slugging percentage. Let’s Get Reacquainted This weekend, Liberty assistant coach Jason Murray will be coaching against several, players he recruited as head coach at Charleston Southern. Many of the Buccaneers seniors were freshmen during Murray’s fi nal season at Charleston Southern. In his second year at Liberty, Murray was the Buccaneers’ head coach from 2005-08. He posted a 82-136 record during his tenure at Charleston Southern. Three Bucanneers were named Freshman All-Americans while playing for Murray, including current Charles-ton Southern designated hitter Derek Smith.

Baker Comes Up Big at Maryland A strong relief appearance by Garrett Baker and seven extra base hits propelled the Liberty Flames past the Maryland Terrapins, 11-4, Tuesday afternoon at Smith Stadium in College Park, Md. Baker entered the contest with the bases loaded, no one out and one run already in for Maryland in fi rst inning and quickly restored order in the contest. The junior allowed only an unearned run, scattering three hits over eight effective innings. The left-hander struck out fi ve and walked none, running his record to 2-0. He retired seven consecutive batters from the second through the fourth innings and later, fi nished his outing by setting down 12 Terrapins in order. Despite trailing 3-0 after one inning, the Flames answered with four runs in the third inning to take a lead they never relinquished. In the frame, second baseman Zach Haley and fi rst baseman Jeff Jefferson hit solo home runs. For Haley, it was his fi rst of the sea-son, while Jefferson’s roundtripper was his second on the year. Haley led all players in the contest with three hits, including two extra base hits. One of left fi elder Doug Bream’s two hits in the game was a bases-clearing double. Center fi elder Ian Parmley, right fi elder Michael Robertson and Jefferson also had two hits apiece.

Pitchers Lead the Way at LeClair Classic Liberty captured the 2011 Keith LeClair Classic in Greenville, N.C., last weekend with a 3-0 record. Keying the title run were the efforts of Flames starting pitchers Keegan Linza, John Niggli and Steven Evans. Linza got things started on Friday, fi ring the fi rst complete game of the season by a Liberty starting pitcher in a 5-2 victory over Rutgers. The senior right-hander allowed two runs on seven hits, striking out fi ve and not walking a Scarlet Knight batter. Linza retired the fi rst 10 Scarlet Knight batters to face him in the contest and did not allow a runner past second base until the seventh inning, when Rutgers scored its fi rst run of the contest. With the win, he runs his record to 3-0 on the year. Saturday, right-hander John Niggli pitched seven strong innings to pick up his sec-ond victory of the year in a 4-3 win over Monmouth. The junior gave up two runs on six hits, striking out one and walking none over the fi rst seven innings, before being relieved by Garrett Baker. He followed with 1 2/3 innings of relief, allowing a run on one hit. J.J. McLeod faced one batter, getting the fi nal out of the contest to earn his fi rst save of the year. Left-hander Steven Evans capped the weekend by handcuffi ng the host East Caro-lina Pirates in his longest outing of the year, propelling the Liberty Flames to a 2-0 victory, Sunday afternoon. The senior left-hander held the Pirate hitters in check during his outing, scattering four hits over 7 1/3 scoreless innings to pick up his fi rst victory of 2011. The left-hander struck out a season-high nine batters and walked three, running his record to 1-3 on the season. He retired the last eight batters he faced, before giving way to reliever Dane Beakler with one out. Beakler completed the shutout with 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief, as Liberty claimed the title.

Connections - Part I Three Liberty Flames, catcher Casey Rasmus, third baseman Tyler Bream and infi elder Austin Taylor, each have connections to Major League Baseball through family members. Rasmus, a junior, is in his fi rst season as a member of the Liberty roster. His brother Colby is a member of the St. Louis Cardinals and enters his third season as an outfi elder with the team in 2011. Bream, also a junior, is the son of former major leaguer Sid Bream. Sid Bream, a Liberty standout during his collegiate days, played 12 seasons in the majors (1983-94) with the Los Angeles Dodgers, Pittsburgh Pirates, Atlanta Braves and Houston Astros. Taylor, a senior, is the nephew of former major leaguer Bill Taylor. Bill Taylor spent parts of eight seasons with the Oakland A’s, New York Mets and Tampa Bay Rays.

Connections - Part II Three Flames are carrying on a family tradition, as a member of their family formerly played baseball at Liberty. First baseman/outfi elder Doug Bream’s uncle Dave was a member of the Liberty baseball program from 1982-85. Third baseman Tyler Bream’s father, Sid, and two uncles, Dave and Sheldon, were members of the Flames. Sid, who went on to play in the major leagues, was a standout for Liberty on the diamond from 1979-81. The fi rst baseman and Lib-erty Athletics Hall of Fame member was named a NAIA and NABC All-American in 1981, as the Flames reached the NAIA National Tournament.

Bream’s uncles, Dave and Sheldon, were also members of the Flames base-ball team during their college days. Dave played infi eld for Liberty from 1982-85, while Sheldon was an outfi elder with the Flames from 1989-93. Tyler and Doug are second cousins. Meanwhile, pitcher Garrett Baker begins his fi rst season at Liberty. The junior left-hander’s brothers, Jason and Steve, played for the Flames. Jason patrolled the outfi eld for the Flames from 1993-95, earning fi rst team All-Big South honors in 1995. Steve was also an outfi elder at Liberty from 1999-02. He was named to the Big South all-conference second team in 2002.

Among Nation’s Rising Programs The Flames were one of 10 programs cited by Rivals.com, as one of College Baseball’s Rising Progams in early November. The Liberty program was mentioned along with Auburn, Oregon, Washing-ton State, New Mexico, Connecticut, Pitt, Texas State, Florida International and Florida Atlantic.

MLB Draft Picks Dot Roster A trio of players, who are on the Liberty roster for 2011, have been selected in the Major League Baseball Draft. Senior Austin Taylor and juniors Michael Rob-ertson and Tony McClendon have each been selected in a Major League Draft. Taylor, an infi elder, was drafted out of Thomas County Central High School by the Cincinnati Reds in 2007. The junior college transfer was taken in the 43rd round. Robertson was also picked in the MLB Draft by the Cincinnati Reds in 2009. The outfi elder was selected in the 40th round of the draft. McClendon, in his fi rst year as a Flame, has been selected in two different MLB Drafts. The outfi elder was taken in 2008 by the Houston Astros in the 40th round. Last year, McClendon was chosen by the Oakland A’s in the 47th round.

Back-to-Back Home Runs - Curran Redal and Doug Bream connected for back-to-back home runs to lead off the fi fth inning, putting Liberty in front 8-4 over Presbyterian at Worthington Stadium, March 29, 2009.

Five or More RBIs in a Game - Catcher Nathan Thompson had four hits, including a home run, and drove in seven runs in Liberty’s 16-9, 10-inning victory over Presbyterian College, April 25, 2010 at the PC Baseball Complex in Clinton, S.C.

Inside the Park Home Run - Kenneth Negron belted a liner into the right fi eld gap which glanced off the Coastal Carolina right fi elder’s glove to cash in two runners at Charles Watson Stadium in Conway, S.C. on April 28, 2007. When the ball rolled all the way to the wall, the Liberty second baseman came home and scored standing up for his fi rst home run of the season, knotting the back-and-forth contest with the No. 19 Chanticleers at 7-7. Coastal Carolina rallied in the bottom of the eighth inning to take the contest, 9-7.
