4 2018 UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI BASEBALL GAME NOTES 3 JIM MORRIS HEAD COACH THE HURRICANES' SKIPPER 1999 & 2001 National Coach of the Year (CBN) 1999 & 2001 National Coach of the year (ABCA) 1994 Coach of the Year (Baseball America) 2008 ACC Coach of the Year It doesn't matter if his roster is full of rookies or veterans, University of Miami head coach Jim Morris continues to produce some of college baseball's most consistent and dominant teams entering his 25th and final season in Coral Gables. With a talented staff around him, Morris' Hurricanes are continually the class of collegiate baseball, having won national titles in 1999 and 2001 and the ACC Baseball Regular Season Championship in 2008, 2014 and In his 24-season tenure at Miami, no program has qualified for the College World Series as much as Morris and his Hurricanes. Miami, which has qualified for the NCAA Tournament on 45 occasions, has made it to Omaha in 13 of Morris' 24 seasons in Coral Gables - including most recently in 2016, when Miami was awarded the No. 3 national seed for the NCAA postseason. Morris set an NCAA record for guiding a program to the CWS in each of his first six years at UM. In addition, Morris has won 17 of 23 NCAA Regional appearances at UM, including a record 13 straight to start his tenure in Coral Gables. His teams qualified for NCAA Regionals for a streak of 32 straight years, beginning with his final nine seasons ( ) at Georgia Tech and his first 23 seasons at Miami ( ). White Sox). Morris also helped guide two Hurricanes to a pair of major awards: Collins became the first Hurricane to win the Johnny Bench Award as the nation's top collegiate catcher in 2016, while Bryan Garcia set the program saves record and became the first Hurricane to win the NCBWA Stopper of the Year Award. A three-time national coach of the year and 2008 Atlantic Coast Conference Coach of the Year, Morris has directed the Hurricanes to a 1, (.703) mark since arriving in Including his 12 seasons at Georgia Tech ( ), Morris has forged a 1, (.693) Division I record in 36 years as a head coach. Overall, Morris has been the head coach at the collegiate level for 40-plus seasons, spending the first four at DeKalb (Ga.) C.C. from , and has recorded a 1, (.698) mark. In addition to carrying on Miami's great baseball reputation in the last 24 years, Morris personally led the charge in the construction of Alex Rodriguez Park, and logged hundreds of hours raising funds for the stadium's renovation prior to its reopening in Two Hurricanes were selected in the 2017 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft; junior outfielder Carl Chester was selected in the 12th round by Tampa Bay and junior righhander Jesse Lepore was drafted in the 24th round by Colorado. The Hurricanes finished sixth in the overall ACC standings in 2017 and advanced to the semifinals of the ACC Championship in Louisville, Ky. Morris reached two coaching milestones in 2016, as he led the program to its 25th College World Series appearance in history, its third straight ACC Coastal Division title and the program's second ACC Regular Season Championship in a three-year span. Morris became just the sixth coach in the history of Division I baseball to reach the 1,500-win plateau when Miami topped Louisville 8-4 in dramatic fashion on March 18, Eight days later, Miami topped Clemson 5-4 in 11 innings - also in walk-off fashion - to send Morris to his 1,000th win at the helm of the Hurricanes. Under his direction, the Hurricanes set the program record for fielding percentage with a sparkling.983 mark in 2016, a figure that ranked best nationwide. Seven Hurricanes were selected in the 2016 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft, including the program's first first-round selection since 2010 in catcher Zack Collins (No. 10, Chicago Morris entered 2015 as among the winningest active coaches in Division I baseball with 1,435 wins.

Miami captured the 2014 ACC Regular Season Championship under his watch, recording 24 wins in conference play for the first time in program history. Morris reached two coaching milestones in the first half of the 2014 season. He became just the eighth Division I coach to reach 1,400 wins in a 5-2 win over Boston College on March 8, and won his 900th game at Miami in a 7-1 upset of No. 3 Virginia on March 22. Among the players Morris coached at Miami that have gone on to play in the Major Leagues are Peter O'Brien (Kansas City), Chris Hermann (Arizona), Yasmani Grandal (Los Angeles Dodgers), Jemile Weeks (Boston), Danny Valencia (Oakland), Jon Jay (Chicago), Yonder Alonso (Oakland), Ryan Braun (Milwaukee), Ryan Jackson (St. Louis), Pat Burrell (Philadelphia), Alex Cora (New York Mets), Bobby Hill (San Diego), Aubrey Huff (Detroit), Chris Perez (Cleveland), Cesar Carrillo (San Diego), Brian Barton (St. Louis), Gaby Sanchez (Florida), Charlton Jimerson (Houston), Jay Tessmer (New York Yankees), Danny Graves (Cincinnati) and Jason Michaels (Houston), among many others.

5 WEEKEND REWIND: CABEZAS WOWS IN FINALE The Miami Hurricanes received the best performance of junior Andrew Cabezas' career in the series finale vs. Pittsburgh on April 21. Pitching the nightcap of a day-night doubleheader, Cabezas threw the first complete game shutout by a Miami pitcher since May 14, 2015 in an 11-strikeout gem against the Panthers. Cabezas was named ACC Pitcher of the Week for his dominant outing. Miami fell in two close games in the first two matchups of the weekend; the Hurricanes dropped Game 1, 2-1, after a ninth-inning solo homer from Pitt, and fell in the first game of the doubleheader, 3-0, despite an impressive start from sophomore Evan McKendry. LAST TIME OUT: UM FALLS TO FIU AT THE LIGHT Miami fell behind in the middle innings and could not recover Wednesday, falling to visiting FIU, 14-6, at Mark Light Field. Coming off the best start of his career on April 18, freshman Chris McMahon allowed five runs (four earned) in 5.1 innings. He struck out four, walked two and threw 103 pitches in the first loss of his career. Juniors Romy Gonzalez and Danny Reyes connected on back-to back solo homers in the seventh inning, but it wasn't enough for the Hurricanes, who fell in the final 2018 meeting between the two teams. The homer was the team-leading fourth for Gonzalez and the second for Reyes in his last two games. HEATING UP: ZAMORA IMPRESSING AT SHORT Freshman shortstop Freddy Zamora has been impressive in his first season at Miami, and ranks second on the Hurricanes with a.305 batting average; he is one of two players to start all 40 games. Zamora batted a team-best.400 (6-for-15) against Clemson. The Miami native has 46 hits - most on the team - and also leads the Canes in doubles (8), triples (3), RBI (20) and steals (14).

6 2018 UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI BASEBALL GAME NOTES RIVALRY WEEKEND NEWS & NOTES ROTATION PUTS TOGETHER DOMINANT STRETCH Miami's four-man starting rotation put together its best stretch of the season last time through (April 18-21), compiling a group 1.17 ERA with 34 strikeouts and five walks in 30.2 combined innings. UM starters recorded a group 9.98 K/9 and an 0.58 group WHIP. YOUNGSTERS PRODUCING IN SECOND HALF Miami has started 10 different true freshman and one redshirt freshman this season and the results have been impressive. The Hurricanes also battled early injuries to some top contributors. Freshman Isaac Quinones leads the Hurricanes with a.306 average. Freshman Willy Escala has at least one hit in 26 of his past 31 games, while freshman Daniel Federman has one of the lowest ERAs on the team at He has totaled 48.2 innings this year. Freshman 1B Alex Toral leads Miami with 20 walks this season. FEDERMAN DOING IT ALL IN FIRST SEASON Freshman Daniel Federman has been impressive in many roles, including a midweek starter, despite picking up a loss in his last start. Federman's 2.40 ERA is lowest among all qualifying pitchers and the third-lowest mark among any Miami pitcher on staff. On March 28 against FGCU, Federman was a hard-luck loser in a 1-0 loss vs. the Eagles (March 28). Federman allowed just four hits and had a career-high seven strikeouts against the Eagles. The one run he allowed was unearned, as Miami fell in a pitchers' duel. Federman is holding opponents to a paltry.198 batting average this season. He has made four starts and totaled 18 appearances. UM RECOVERING FROM MIDYEAR INJURY BUG Freshman Chris McMahon (meniscus), junior Danny Reyes (torn ligament in thumb) and redshirt freshman catcher Michael Amditis (bone bruise) were among the Canes battling early injuries. Amditis made his return with a start behind the plate on March 30 and McMahon returned the same day. McMahon has made four appearances this season, including Wednesday vs. FGCU (April 18). Reyes, who was hurt sliding on Feb. 25 against Florida, missed 25 games this season before returning in Game 1 at Clemson (April 13). The Hurricanes have already lost relievers Albert Maury, Jr., and Alex Ruiz to season-ending Tommy John surgeries. CABEZAS ENJOYING MOVE TO THE ROTATION In the series finale against Duke on March 18, junior righthander Andrew Cabezas made his first start since a 2016 NCAA Super Regional game against Boston College. The results were impressive - Cabezas tossed six shutout innings for Miami and struck out five batters. Since that game, Cabezas has been Miami's No. 3 starter and has been impressive in the He matched his outing with another six innings against No. 24 Virginia to finish off a sweep on March 25.

7 @CANESBASEBALL RIVALRY WEEKEND NEWS & NOTES MORRIS ERA: OPENING DAY HIGH EXPECTATIONS The Hurricanes were ranked in the top 25 in three preseason polls: #9 by Perfect Game, #20 by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper and #24 in the USA TODAY preseason coaches poll. McKENDRY SHINING IN SOPHOMORE SEASON Sophomore RHP Evan McKendry was named ACC Co-Pitcher of the Week on March 26, earning his third honor of the season and fourth by a Hurricane this year. He tossed seven shutout innings, striking out a career high-tying 12 batters in a 1-0 win over Virginia. McKendry was also named ACC Pitcher of the Week Feb. 26 after helping Miami hand No. 1 Florida its first loss of the season on Feb. 25. Two weeks ago, McKendry tossed the first complete game of his career in a dominant effort at #8 Clemson. McKendry followed that up with a nine-strikeout performance in 6.2 innings vs. Pitt on April 21. 'FAB-5' A BIG PART OF MIAMI INFIELD IN 2018 Four true freshmen and one redshirt freshman comprised the University of Miami's starting infield during the opening weekend against Rutgers, marking the first time in Jim Morris' 25 years that such a young group started in the field. That group got even younger when an all-true freshman infield started in Miami's series at Duke. 1B Alex Toral, 2B Willy Escala, SS Freddy Zamora, 3B Raymond Gil and C Michael Amditis all started in each of the three games against Rutgers. C Isaac Quinones has joined in on the fun, starting 30 of 31 games since Amditis incurred a hand injury on Feb. 28. FRESHMEN SEEING KEY ROLES IN FIRST YEARS Miami has started 10 different true freshman and one redshirt freshman early this year. Miami's top three hitters - Isaac Quinones (.306), Freddy Zamora (.305) and Willy Escala (.295) are all true freshmen. Of Miami's 14 players who have started 12 or more games, eight are freshmen - players above, as well as Dylan Cloonan (13), Tony Jenkins (18), Raymond Gil (20), Alex Toral (28) & Gabe Rivera (13). JEB! SOUTHPAW DELIVERING ON FRIDAYS Senior lefthander Jeb Bargfeldt, an All-ACC Second Team selection a season ago, picked up where he left off in his first start of the season, tossing five innings to pick up a win against Rutgers on Opening Day. In 25 career starts at the University of Miami, Bargfeldt has allowed two or fewer total runs in 17, including vs. Rutgers, Maine, Notre Dame, Virginia and Pittsburgh this year. TORAL, RIVERA IN ELITE COMPANY WITH HRs Freshman 1B Alex Toral joined elite company when he swatted his first hit as a Hurricane over the fence for a three-run home run in a 7-5 win over Rutgers on Sat., Feb. 17. Toral became the first Hurricane to connect on a home run for his first collegiate hit since Chicago White Sox' first-round draft pick Zack Collins did so in The last player before Collins did it was Cleveland Indians' All-Star slugger Yonder Alonso in Freshman Gabe Rivera managed the same feat in a game against Georgia Tech on March 30, crushing a two-run homer.

He struck out seven in 5.1 innings vs. Arizona. REYES ANOTHER IMPACT NEWCOMER Junior outfielder Danny Reyes was another key addition to the Hurricanes this offseason after transferring in from Broward College.

THE DESTINATION IS THE SAME: OMAHA Miami made its second straight trip to the College World Series in 2016, marking the program s 25th all-time trip to Omaha, Neb. Miami s 25 College World Series trips are the second-most of any program in the country.

GIL, McMAHON PICK 'THE U' OVER 'THE SHOW' Freshmen Raymond Gil (37th round, Oakland) and Chris McMahon (33rd round, Atlanta) both spurned professional overtures for a career at Miami after being selected in the 2017 MLB Draft. McMahon was ranked No. 76 overall in Baseball America's list of the top 500 MLB Draft-eligible prospects. Fellow freshmen Alex Toral (No. 199), Gabe Rivera (No. 329) and Connor Allen (No. 440) also cracked Baseball America rankings. Miami's class was ranked as the eighth-best group nationwide by both Baseball America and D1Baseball in their yearly rankings. MIAMI IS #MLBU No school in the ACC has had more players drafted than Miami, which has seen 282 players picked into the professional ranks - including seven in Since 1990, UM has produced 181 draft picks - 18 more than the next-highest ACC total (163, Clemson).
