6 Head Coach Tommy Raffo Third Season (53-58) Now entering his third season as head baseball coach at Arkansas State, Tommy Raffo has the Red Wolves revived the Red Wolves baseball program and again made them a factor int he Sun Belt Conference race. Under Raffo's direction, A-State ended last season with an overall winning record (30-28) for the first time since 2005 and finished above.500 in Sun Belt Conference play (16-14) for the first time since ASU not only made its first appearance in the Sun Belt Conference Tournament since 2006 last season, it was one victory away from playing in the tournament's championship game. The Red Wolves advanced to the semifinals, enjoying their best run in the tournament since Murray Watts continued his dominace at the plate ranking first in the league in batting average during regular season games. Watts was selected with the 839th overall pick by the Kansas City Royals. Watts went on to be named Idaho Falls Affiliate Player of the Year by the Royals. Drew Benes was also selected in last year s draft by the St. Louis Cardinals. Jacob Lee and Michael Faulkner earned all-tournament honors for the Red Wolves while Watts and Baumgartner earned regular season all-conference honors. Raffo led the Red Wolves to a record in 2009, and although Arkansas State missed the Sun Belt Conference tournament by one-half game, the team showed a great deal of improvement over the previous season. The Red Wolves won 12 Sun Belt Conference games in Raffo s first season, up from just eight the year before, and ASU s overall record showed an improvement of three wins over the 2008 season. Arkansas State earned conference victories over Louisiana-Lafayette, Louisiana-Monroe, South Alabama and Arkansas-Little Rock. The Red Wolves raised their team batting average an impressive 36 points over the previous season, finishing the year with a team average of.296. Five players hit.300 or better, compared to just one in the previous season, with one, sophomore Murray Watts earning All-Conference honors at the conclusion of the season. The Red Wolves were also much more aggressive on the bases in Raffo s first season, stealing 42 bases to almost double the figure from the previous year. All-Conference selection Chase Ware helped keep the Red Wolves strong on the mound in 2009, and Ware signed with the Cincinnati Reds organization at the conclusion of the season. As a team, the Red Wolves hit.296, which ranked third all-time in ASU history. Arkansas State belted out 557 hits during the year which was the fifth-most ever for an ASU team. The Red Wolves 242 walks was the sixth-most in team history, and ASU s 337 runs and 291 RBIs were both the seventh-most ever at ASU. A-State s 786 total bases ranked as the ninth-most in school history. Raffo becomes the fifth head coach in the history of the ASU baseball program after serving as an assistant coach at Mississippi State for the past 15 years. During his time at Mississippi State, he served as the hitting and outfield coach for a Bulldog program that made three trips to the College World Series. Under his direction, the Bulldogs posted a team batting average of.300 or better in eight of the past 11 seasons. During his 15 seasons at Mississippi State, Raffo served as the recruiting coordinator for the Bulldog baseball program, landing 10 straight recruiting classes ranked in the top 33 nationally by Collegiate Baseball. He coached seven All-America players and four Academic All-Americans. He was named as the 2007 Southeastern Conference Fellowship of Christian Athletes Coach of the Year, and during his time at MSU, 49 Bulldogs were chosen in the Major League Baseball Draft. Raffo s outstanding recruiting at MSU paid dividends for the program as he helped the Bulldogs reach the SEC Tournament 12 times, with two championships to their credit. Mississippi State also made 11 appearances in the NCAA Tournament during Raffo s time with the program, winning five regional titles. The Bulldogs made three appearances in the NCAA Super Regionals and advanced to the College World Series in 1997, 1998 and Raffo coached one Johnny Bench Award winner, given annually to the top college catcher in the country, and helped seven hitters finish the season in the SEC s top five batting averages. As a player, Raffo was co-captain of the 1990 Mississippi State team that advanced to the College World Series. He was a twotime Academic All-American and a three-time Academic All-SEC selection. He was named first-team All-SEC in 1989 and 1990, and in 1990 earned second-team All-America honors from both the American Baseball Coaches Association and Baseball America. After earning his Bachelor s of Business Administration Degree from Mississippi State in 1990, he was chosen by the Miami Miracle with the first pick of the eighth round in the 1990 MLB Draft. While playing in the Reds organization, he was the MVP of the 1991 South Atlantic League All-Star Game, and was Co-Captain of the 1992 Midwest League Champion Cedar Rapid Reds.
