4 Season outlook With 16 newcomers, the 2003 Utah baseball team suffered through frustrating growing pains, finishing the season overall and in the Mountain West Conference, good for fifth place in the six-team league. With the addition of a new pitching coach and the return of six of eight starting position players, Head Coach Tim Esmay is extremely optimistic about the possibilities for the Utes in We have much more experience both on and off the mound this season, he claims. We ve had enough guys go through the fire experience the good and the bad. We all know that we re better now because we ve been through both. Esmay and the Utes have some pretty lofty goals for the season, including winning both the conference regular season crown and MWC Tournament, and winning 40 or more games. I believe these goals are realistic because of the combination of our experienced returners and a talented group of newcomers that we ve added, he says. Junior Matt Ciaramella is a two-time all-mwc outfielder. Leading the position players will be seniors Jared Pena and Eric Chevalier, and junior Matt Ciaramella, all three of whom enjoyed success last year. In addition, the Ute pitching staff returns all three of its regular starters from a year ago Doug Mackay, Jason Price and Clay Westmoreland. Below is a position-by-position breakdown of the 2004 Utes. Lefthander Jason Price got valuable experience on the mound last year as a freshman. He will be the Saturday starter this season. Price, the projected Saturday starter, posted the second-lowest opponent batting average (.285) on last year s team. Jason had a good freshman year and an outstanding fall, Esmay notes. It s nice to have a quality lefty in the rotation and he s already pitched in high pressure, big-time games and proven he s a winner. The Sunday starter will likely be freshman Eric Schaler, who went 7-0 with a 1.54 ERA last year as a senior in high school and was drafted in the 48th round by the Yankees. Eric is an unproven freshman with lots of talent, Esmay says. He matured faster than anticipated and we re excited to see what he s capable of doing. Westmoreland, a two-time MWC Pitcher of the Week in 2003, has been moved out of the starting lineup to a new role as a closer. Esmay s hope is that Westmoreland will address the loss to an LDS mission of Brady Martinez, Utah s primary closer and a second-team all-mwc pick last year. The decision was made to use Clay s abilities in more than one game each weekend, Esmay notes. Our hope is that when the eighth inning rolls around, the game is over when we give the ball to Clay. In addition, Esmay says that the other pitchers each have defined roles going into the season. We ve pieced together a staff that pitches to particular situations, he says. Every pitcher on our team will be a Senior Eric Chevalier ended last season in the midst factor and will get of a 23-game hitting streak and led the team in innings. Pitchers Bryan Conger, who has extensive coaching experience at the Division II and junior college levels, joined the Utes in the offseason and looks to turn around a pitching staff that posted a combined ERA of 6.20 last season. At his last school, Conger s pitching staff set school records for ERA, strikeouts, saves and appearances, and Esmay hopes Conger can have similar results here. Bryan has proven he s a winner everywhere he s been, Esmay notes. His experience and success definitely set him apart. We re very excited to bring him into the program. Conger will have plenty to work with as Utah returns Mackay, Price and Westmoreland. Mackay, who will be the Friday starter, led the team in strikeouts (70) last season. Doug has established himself as the catalyst of the pitching staff, Esmay says. We re definitely looking for him to start each weekend out on a positive for us. He is the leader of the pitching staff. batting average with a

5 season outlook Catchers Behind the plate, Utah returns senior Nate Schlieman, who saw time as a backup last season and appears to have battled through back problems. Nate is the leader of the defense, Esmay says. It s nice to know that he ll be counted on to be in the lineup after coming off an injury. Sharing the starting role with Schlieman will be junior Trevor Eastman, a transfer from Salt Lake Community College. Eastman was a second-team all-region pick last year and ranked second on the team with a.328 batting average. Trevor should continue the long line of tradition established at Utah as a very good hitting catcher, Esmay claims. We re looking for a big year for him. In addition, Shane Miles, a freshman from Carbondale, Kan., who posted a.427 batting average in high school, will also see time. Shane is a talented freshman who has a chance to learn from the other two. Senior second baseman Jared Pena was one of three Utes named to the allconference team last season. Infield Pena, a first-team all-conference second baseman last season, will anchor the Ute infield. Also returning are third baseman Cort Wilson, who was named to the MWC Championship alltournament team, sophomore shortstop Ryan Khoury, who started 46 games last year, and senior first baseman Mike Westfall, a two-time all-conference pick. We have a very mature, veteran infield, Esmay notes. Our defense should be the strength of our team. The Utes also have four players that will be used in Sophomore Ryan Khoury got valuable experience last backup roles in the season as the starting shortstop. infield. Leading the group is freshman Jay Brossman, who was a three-time first-team all-league shortstop in high school. Brossman will play shortstop, second base and third base. Jay is one of the most talented freshmen ever in our program, Esmay claims. He will be our utility guy. Clayne Garrett, who posted a.316 batting average in two seasons at Dixie State College, will see time at first base, third base and designated hitter. Clayne is a lefthander with a very good offensive bat, Esmay says. Jake Waldram, who redshirted last season, will be used at first base, as a designated hitter and in certain situations. Jake was the biggest surprise of the fall, Esmay notes. He has proven to be a top-quality Division I hitter. Rounding out the group is Mike Mitchell, a walk-on who will back up Pena at second base. Mike is a quality walk-on, Esmay claims. Outfield The Ute outfield is loaded with talent. This is the most talented outfield as a group that we ve had since I ve been here, Esmay says. Ciaramella, a two-time all-mwc outfielder and Chevalier, who led the Utes in batting average and didn t commit any errors last season, will lead the way. One of four newcomers junior transfers Tyson Olson, TJ Floyd and Tyler Kay, or freshman John Welsh will fill the third spot. Olson was a two-time all-conference pick at Dixie State College, while Floyd started 51 games last year at Utah Valley State. Kay was named team MVP and second-team all-region at Salt Lake Community College, and Welsh was a first-team all-state pick by the Deseret News in 2003 after hitting.458. Those four are all fighting for the left field spot and for quality overall backups, Esmay explains. There s a good chance that whoever s not playing left field will be our DH. Overall With the combination of experience, depth and new blood, Esmay is more excited about this season than any in recent years. We have all of the ingredients for success and I really think we re going to be able to put it all together this year, he explains. This year is going to be Utah baseball like you ve never seen it before. Third baseman Cort Wilson was named to the alltournament team at the MWC Championships last year. 3

6 HeaD CoAch In 2002, Esmay guided Utah to a overall and conference record. The 33 wins is the second most in school history since 1963, and the second-place league finish is the Utes best since joining the MWC in 99. Senior pitcher Mitch Maio garnered 2002 MWC Co-Player of the honors. The year also saw the fall of several team and individual records under Esmay s direction. Last season, the Utes went overall and in MWC play, with 12 of the Utes 32 losses coming by two runs or less. Three Utes Jared Pena, Matt Ciaramella and Brady Martinez were named to the all-conference team. The Scottsdale, Ariz., native started his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Arizona State. He stayed at ASU for five years as an assistant coach under Jim Brock and Jeff Pentland (the current hitting coach for the Kansas City Royals). Esmay coached for two years at Brophy College Prep High School in Phoenix, Ariz., before returning to Arizona State as a volunteer assistant to Brock in 94.

That season, three of Esmay s former athletes played in the minor leagues: Lance Ericksen (Astros), Ryan Johnerson (Reds) and Jared Larsen (Toronto). During the 2000 season, Utah compiled a record while going in the new MWC. Esmay led the Utes to a third place finish in the league. The Utes finished third in the league posting a overall mark and a conference record in 01. Esmay led the Utes to one of the their biggest wins in history when they upset No. 7 Nebraska in a tournament in Albuquerque, N.M.
