2 2010 Stanford Baseball Colin Walsh 2010 Outlook Stanford Baseball, despite not making the postseason in 2009, have reason for high hopes in The Cardinal s recruiting class is one of the nation s best, the defense from catcher through the middle infield to center field is an anchor point for the rest of the team, and with a combined 82 years of coaching experience in the dugout, the Cardinal are poised for a run through Omaha. I m happy with how the fall went, said head coach Mark Marquess. The freshman class is living up to the hype. They have adjusted to the program and made it very competitive. In the over three decades Marquess has been at the helm of the Stanford program, the Cardinal has made an NCAA Regional 25 times. Fourteen times it has furthered its quest to the College World Series. It has played in five championship games. In 1987 and 1988, it won national titles. This year s team returns five starters and two-thirds of a weekend rotation. Each of those players will be pushed by the No. 2 recruiting class in the country (Baseball America). You don t know how they (the freshmen) will play against an opponent, but they are not overmatched, said Marquess. I ve been pleasantly surprised. They are probably ahead of schedule. In the dugout is 82 years of coaching experience. Stanford graduates Marquess and assistant Dean Stotz have been together for 33 years, and will be joined by newly acquired pitching coach Rusty Filter, who spent the last 16 years at San Diego State, and the last three tutoring National of the Year and first round pick Stephen Strasburg. Mario Iglesias, the Cardinal s former ace from the mid-1990s World Series teams, rounds out the staff. I ve been very fortunate, said Marquess. Dean had a chance to leave awhile ago, and chose to stay, because it was Stanford. It s very unusual (for coaches to stay together), but I ve been fortunate. Rusty has been a huge addition. He has a lot of experience, and he was the one who developed Strasburg. Mario will work with our outfielders and help Rusty with the staff. I m happy with my staff. The team s core is up the middle. And its strength is further bolstered by a deep and talented infield. Juniors second baseman Colin Walsh, an all-star in the Cape Cod League this past summer, and Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year and shortstop Jake Schlander, return to the middle of the diamond; catcher Zach Jones has one of the stronger arms in the Pac-10 and freshman center fielder, Jacob Stewart, the team s fastest player, make up that core. Walsh is the team s leading returning hitter, at.320, and was hitting over.400 in the Cape at the all-star break at Fenway Park prior to a cooling off over the final month. His double play mate, Schlander, hit.232 last year and will be challenged by freshman Kenny Diekroeger, who can play third, second or short. Diekroeger, from nearby Woodside and The Menlo School had a slugging percentage last year as a prep and a.586 average. Freshman Eric Smith should also be in the mix. Infielder Stephen Piscotty is another talented freshman, after hitting.450 last year across the Bay in Pleasanton at Amador Valley High. Also returning is infielder Adam Gaylord, who hit.289 last year. He is slated to play third base. Veteran Jonathan Kaskow is slated to start at first after batting.242, but Marquess has the option to use Justin Ringo, Piscotty, or outfielders Kellen Kiilsgaard and Kellen McColl. The starter at first, said Marquess, will be one who is swinging the bat best. Uncharacteristic for a Stanford club, the 2009 squad batted just.279, the lowest batting average since the 1989 team hit.276. Following the free swingers of 2008, who struck out a record 481 times (in 12 extra games), the 2009 team struck out 419 times, the second most in school history. While the 2008 CWS team hit 81 home runs, last year s squad hit just 49 and scored just 341 runs. The biggest question mark going into the season will be how the offense develops. The one positive is that they fielded at a.977 clip, a school record. Despite the frustrations at the plate, it did not carry over to the field. In the outfield, Kiilsgaard is coming off a strong summer in Alaska and a.313 sophomore season as he drove in 46 runs. The team s largest production came from the outfield last year, which needs to be replaced; Brett Milleville (.306, 52 RBIs, 14 homers) and Joey August (.304, 36 RBIs) both graduated. Heisman Trophy runner-up Toby Gerhart (.288, 36 RBIs) decided to forego his final baseball season to prepare for the NFL Draft. Jake Stewart is one of those players expected to step right in right away. Stewart, a top-100 prospect out of high school, hit.544 last year. He is probably the team s fastest outfielder and is slated to play center. Junior David Giuliani, who has appeared in just 10 games, has been impressive in the fall and has fought his way into the lineup. Guiliani is almost as fast as Stewart, and maybe the outfielder with the best arm. McColl should also see significant time in the outfield. Another rarity for the club was its ERA, Just three times since 1980 has the club produced an ERA over If history is any indication, each of those club s next seasons, produced an ERA a run lower. Lefthander Brett Mooneyham is the team s returning wins leader, going 6-3 with a 4.14 ERA in 13 games last season. If it wasn t for back-to-back starts in early May in which he gave up 11 runs over 10.1 innings, the southpaw would have had an ERA under Mooneyham, who struck out at least 10, three times last year, finished the year by allowing just one earned run over his last two starts (0.60 ERA). Control was an issue, as he walked 54 on the season. Jordan Pries was another young pitcher that struggled at times adjusting to the college game. Finishing with a 4-4 mark and 4.62 ERA, it could have been that much better, as the righthander gave up 14 runs over his final three starts. Pries earned the starting assignment after the first two weeks in the bullpen, starting his final 11 games. Despite allowing three or fewer runs in six of his first eight starts (3.97 ERA) he had just two wins to show for it. One of those no-decisions was a 10- strikeout performance over seven shutout innings against ASU. We have higher expectations for both of them this year, said Marquess. The conference is very rich in pitching. And that s what they want (to be challenged). The bullpen features the biggest question mark after the loss of first round pick Drew Storen. Storen s 3.80 ERA, seven wins and seven saves are gone, as are Max Fearnow s 21 appearances and 4.29 ERA and Blake Hancock s 4.70 ERA over 16 games. We have a lot of good arms, said Marquess, who expects to see eight to 10 arms used heavily this season. We don t have the luxury of a Storen in the bullpen like we have had over the last two years. We may go with two closers, it all depends how it plays out. Righthander Mike Marshall is the most experienced reliever. In 21 appearances he had a 4.10 ERA, striking out nearly a batter an inning. Spot starter Brian Busick had a 4.50 ERA over 11 games and four starts, while Carey Schwartz (5.11 ERA), Scott Snodgress (5.85 ERA) and Kyle Thompson (6.55) each appeared in at least 10 games, but with limited success. Snodgress is trying to nail down the third starting job, following a stellar summer in Alaska, that Baseball America acknowledged by projecting the leftie as the fourth best prospect in that summer league, three slots ahead of his teammate, Kiilsgaard. Snodgress finished the summer leading the league in strikeouts and ranking in the top-10 in the league in ERA, going 2-3 with a 2.93 ERA over 10 games and eight starts, striking out 55 over 43.0 innings. Opponents batted just.151. Newcomer mark Appel is the top newcomer out of the pen, earning prep All-American status out of San Ramon in the East Bay and as a top-200 draftee out of high school. If all the pieces fall into place, it could be another run through Omaha. Something that is not so rare when it comes to Stanford Baseball Baseball Media guide

Rookie Mark Appel had a 0.90 ERA as a prep, while Mike Marshall is the leading returning reliever, posting a 4.10 ERA over 21 games in Second baseman Colin Walsh enters his junior season as the team s top returning hitter, at.320, scoring the second-most runs to Toby Gerhart last year. Walsh had a hot start in the Cape this past summer, earning a starting nod in the All Star Game, before cooling over the final month of the season to bat.255. The double play combo of Walsh and Pac-10 Defensive Player of the Year Jake Schlander returns for a third season together. The team s recruiting class is ranked No. 2 by Baseball America and 10 overall by Collegiate Baseball and features two high profile picks in infielder Kenny Diekroeger (Woodside, CA) and outfielder Jake Stewart (Ft. Collins, CO). RHP Mark Appell (San Ramon, CA) was a projected top-200 draftee, while fellow righthander Chris Jenkins (Westfield, NJ) had an 0.71 ERA over 49.1 innings. Third baseman Scott Piscotty was the league MVP after batting.450. Outfielder Kellen Kiilsgaard hit.313 last year and drove in the second-most runs on the team (46). He will need to help fill the void of departed first baseman Brent Milleville, who hit.306, homered 14 times and drove in 52. The pitching staff, which had a 5.12 ERA last season, will need to develop two starters following Brett Mooneyham (6-3, 4.14) and Jordan Pries (4-4, 4.62). Scott Snodgress had a 2.93 ERA in Alaska this past summer and is procted as a weekend starter. Maybe the most experienced staff in the country, the coaching staff has a combined 82 years of experience with the addition of San Diego State s Rusty Filter. Stanford grads Coach Mark Marquess and Dean Stotz have been together all 33 years at Stanford, while Filter spent 16 years at his alma mater.

4 Coaching Staff 9 Mark Marquess Head Coach The Clarke and Elizabeth Nelson Director of Baseball Stanford (1969) 34th Season Pronunciation: MAR-kwess It s great to have been able to coach as many years as I have at my alma mater. It s quite an honor to be able to do that, to be able to stay at one place all this time, and to be able to work with these student-athletes. I m very proud of our history and the success that we ve had on and off the field. One of the premier coaches in college baseball history, and a man whose name is synonymous with the Stanford baseball program, Mark Marquess enters his 34th year at the helm of his alma mater in Since he arrived on The Farm as a two-sport athlete in baseball and football in the fall of 1965, Marquess impact upon Stanford baseball is beyond measure, even by the benchmark of his long list of on-field accomplishments. Perhaps more important than any of the wins or championships his club has produced is the nature of the program he has developed, both on and off the field. In his four decades associated with the school, Marquess has been the architect of a Stanford program that is nationally recognized as one of winning baseball and quality student-athletes. A member of the American Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame, Marquess opens the season as the eighth-winningest coach in NCAA Division-I baseball history fourth among active skippers with a career 1, (.664) record. Each of those 1,356 victories has come on The Farm, as he has won more games than any coach in any sport ever at Stanford. A three-time NCAA Coach of the Year recipient and nine-time Pac-10 Coach of the Year honoree, he has guided his Stanford clubs to 25 NCAA Tournament appearances, a pair of College World Series championships (1987 and 1988), six NCAA Super Regional titles, 15 NCAA Regional crowns and 12 Pac-10 regular season championships. Marquess owns a career (.686) record in postseason play, including a (.734) mark in NCAA Regionals, a 12-4 (.750) ledger in NCAA Super Regionals and a (.590) record at 14 College World Series. In a testament to the standard of winning baseball Marquess has created at Stanford, 32 of his 33 teams have finished at.500 or better. He has presided over 19 teams that have won at least 40 games, including six clubs that have crested the 50-win plateau. Marquess led the Cardinal to a school-record stretch of 10 consecutive 40-win campaigns from Marquess clubs have advanced to postseason play in 25 of a possible 33 seasons, including a school-record 13 straight campaigns from Stanford has won at least one game in 24 of its trips to the NCAA Tournament under Marquess. Marquess teams have played nearly.600 baseball in the Pac-10 ( ), long recognized as one of the best and toughest conferences in the country. Stanford has finished either first or second in the Pac-10 a total of 23 times (including Southern Division finishes), while capturing 12 conference championships. The Cardinal has won at least two consecutive conference titles three different times under Marquess, as Stanford captured three straight crowns in both and before winning back-to-back championships in 2003 and Perhaps the crowning moment of Marquess career came when the Cardinal captured back-to-back College World Series titles in 1987 and 1988, becoming one of only four programs in the 63-year history of the CWS to have ever won at least two consecutive titles. But there was much accomplished before and much has been done since. Stanford has reached the College World Series a total of 14 times and been in the CWS final on five occasions during Marquess tenure, including a stretch where the Cardinal finished second three times during a school-record string of five consecutive trips to Rosenblatt Stadium from The trips to Omaha were just two shy of Oklahoma State s NCAA record run of seven in a row from Even more impressive, each of the 14 teams Marquess has skippered to the CWS has won at least one game. Both of Marquess championship clubs won the title after having their backs against the wall. His 1987 team won the first CWS crown in school history, finished the season overall and was 21-9 in the Pac-10 Southern Division winning the league title by five full games. But, the Cardinal had to win its final three CWS contests after a second-round loss to claim the title, defeating Oklahoma State in the championship game. Stanford completed the back-to-back feat in 1988 by winning eight postseason elimination games, four in each the CWS and the NCAA Northeast Regional, concluding its unbelievable run by defeating league rival Arizona State in the CWS championship. Stanford s recent near misses for another national title began in 2000 when the Cardinal went unbeaten in its CWS bracket before dropping a 6-5 heart-breaker to LSU in the championship game. In 2001, Stanford again swept through its bracket before falling to Miami in the championship contest. Two years later, the Cardinal Baseball Media guide

5 Coaching Staff made a run through the 2003 CWS losers bracket with three straight wins in elimination games to reach the championship again, extending Rice into the final game of the inaugural best-of-three CWS championship series. Marquess became the 23rd NCAA Division I baseball coach to reach the 1,000-win mark, with a victory over Florida State on February 9, He picked up his 1,100th career victory with a February 17, 2003 win over Nevada. Win number 1,200 came against California on March 5, 2005, while he reached the 1,300-win plateau by defeating top-ranked Arizona State on April 6, 2008 at Klein Field at Sunken Diamond. Marquess recorded his 100th career postseason win in Stanford s NCAA Super Regional-clinching victory over Long Beach State on June 7, Stanford s success under Marquess has paid dividends at the next level as well, as his players are normally very visible on the radar screens of professional baseball scouts. A total of 167 Cardinal players have been chosen in the draft since 1977, including 21 first round or compensation picks since Jack McDowell in Since Marquess was named head coach in 1977, 53 players have reached the Major Leagues. Marquess has also developed several fine young coaches that were either former assistants or players on The Farm, including Jeff Austin (assistant coach Stanford), David Esquer (head coach California), Mark Machtolf (head coach Gonzaga), Dave Nakama (former head coach San Francisco State; assistant coach Stanford/ Washington), Mark O Brien (head coach Santa Clara) and Ed Sprague (head coach Pacific). The accolades have streamed Marquess way throughout his career at Stanford, including three NCAA Coach of the Year selections (1985, `87, `88). His most recent major honor came in 2003 when he earned his ninth Pac-10 Coach of the Year award. He was previously chosen as the Pac-10 Southern Division Coach of the Year seven times in the final 16 seasons of the league (1983, 85, 87, 90, 94, 97, 98) and the Pacific-10 Coach of the Year during the first season of the conference s restructuring in Marquess Year-By-Year There are more rewards in coaching the longer you do it, and it really has nothing to do with the baseball end of it. When I see how a former player that is now 35 or 40 years old with young kids really appreciated the athletic and academic experience at Stanford, that s the real reward. Marquess has also been a well-known coach on the international level. In 1988, he won International Coach of the Year honors after leading the United States Olympic team to a gold medal at the Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea. Marquess guided his club to a 4-1 record, defeating Japan, 5-3, on September 28 to capture the first gold medal in baseball for the United States. Prior to arriving in Seoul, Marquess led the national team to the silver medal at the 15th World Amateur Baseball Championships in Italy. The Americans posted an 11-2 mark in the tourney, losing both games to gold medalist Cuba in the bottom of the ninth inning. For the summer, the USA squad posted a overall record. As head coach of the USA National Team, Marquess skippered the club to a silver medal at the 1987 Intercontinental Cup Tournament in Cuba. In the summer of 1984, he served as an assistant coach on the USA squad that competed at the World Amateur Championships that were also played in Cuba. As head coach of USA Baseball in 1981, Marquess guided the U.S. collegiate team to a gold medal at the World Games in Santa Clara.

His squad edged Cuba, 5-4, in the finals to mark the first time since 1970 that the United States had beaten the Cubans in international competition. In addition, Marquess became the only person ever to post victories over the Cuban team as both a player and a coach. From , Marquess served as President of USA Baseball, an organization that handles all aspects of amateur baseball from the youth level through the college-aged player and the Olympic squad. Marquess success as a coach can be traced to his days as a player. A three-year starter at first base for Stanford ( ), he earned first-team All-America honors in 1967 and garnered second-team All-America recognition in He was also named first-team All-Pac-8 and All-District-8 both seasons. Marquess name is still etched in the school s record book, as his.404 batting average in 1967 is fifth all-time on the school s single-season list and his 15 career triples are tied for fifth. In addition, Marquess is one of only 10 to have both played in and coached at the College World Series, and he also competed on the 1967 USA Pan American Games team that captured the gold medal. One of the greatest two-sport athletes ever on The Farm, he complimented his collegiate baseball career with three seasons on the Stanford football squad as a quarterback, split end, defensive back and punt returner. A member of the American Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame, he is one of 35 members of the Stanford Baseball family to have a place in the Stanford Athletic Hall of Fame. Mark Marquess is a three-time NCAA Coach of the Year and has been named Pac-10 Coach of the Year on nine occasions. The Clarke and Elizabeth Nelson Directorship of Baseball This Directorship was established in 1987 with a gift from Clarke A. Nelson and his late wife Elizabeth S. Nelson, both Stanford alumni.

The following year, his Boulder team placed third at the national tourney. Prior to his appointment as head coach at Stanford in 1977, Marquess spent five seasons ( ) as an assistant under Ray Young at Stanford. Marquess now officially serves as the Clarke and Elizabeth Nelson Director of Baseball at Stanford. The Nelsons, through a large gift to the baseball program, endowed the position in His success in the dugout and on the field has led to some other exciting and noteworthy experiences. Marquess made his broadcasting debut for CBS during the network s coverage of the 1987 Pan American Games in Indianapolis. After winning the College World Series and Olympic gold medal in 1988, he was asked to throw out the first pitch before Game 4 of the 1988 World Series on October 19 at the Oakland Coliseum.

7 Coaching Staff 32 Dean Stotz Associate Head Coach Stanford (1975) 34th Season Pronunciation: STAHTZ Stanford s top lieutenant for over three decades, Dean Stotz enters his 34th season as the top assistant under Mark Marquess. One of the longer coaching tandems in the country, Marquess and Stotz have teamed up to lead The Farm to a pair of College World Series titles (1987, 1988), three national runner-ups, 14 appearances in Omaha, six NCAA Super Regional triumphs, 15 NCAA Regional titles, and 12 conference crowns. Overall the Cardinal has gone to 25 NCAA Regionals and won 1,356 games. Stotz has been involved in all phases of coaching in his expansive role on the staff. He currently serves as the team s leading recruiting coordinator, primary hitting instructor and third base coach, while also handling various offensive and defensive aspects of the game. It is no surprise that the Cardinal has become an offensive powerhouse since Stotz moved back to his current role as the team s primary hitting coach in Stotz has recently helped develop hitters such as 2008 American League MVP candidate Carlos Quentin, along with major leaguers Chris Carter, Sam Fuld, Ryan Garko, Jody Gerut and Jed Lowrie. Four of his protégés were selected in the 2008 MLB First-Year Player Draft, while Jason Castro became the 10th overall selection after his batting average jumped 209 points and his home run total increased by 13 over the previous season. Likewise, he helped develop Sean Ratliff into the Pac-10 s co-home run leader and a fourth round draft pick, while Cord Phelps was selected in the third round after hitting.353 with his first 13 collegiate homers. After falling under the.300 mark in three of the four years that Stotz moved to the mound to work with the team s pitchers from , the club has hit at least.305 in nine of the last 13 seasons ( , 2007) that he has returned to his role of instructing Cardinal hitters. Stanford has also recorded four of its top five team batting averages in school history during the span. In his first year back as the hitting coach, Stanford s bats responded with a.334 mark that is second all-time on The Farm and just three percentage points shy of the.337 school record posted by the 1981 club. Stanford put up the third-best mark in school history in 2004, finishing with a.324 batting average after flirting with the school record for much of the campaign. Stanford has also tallied four of the school s top-10 single-season run totals over the last 12 campaigns, including a school-record 582 in The Cardinal offense also crossed the plate 516 times in 2000 to rank eighth, while placing ninth with 511 runs in 2003 and 10th with 507 runs in Under Stotz recent watch, Cardinal offenses have also recorded five of the school s top-10 single-season hit totals (including a record 802 in 1997), seven of the top doubles campaigns, and six years where the club s total bases ranked among Stanford s 10 best outputs. Long a hallmark of Stotz hitters, the 2008 Cardinal were exceptional in the clutch, boasting a.340 average with runners in scoring position. Stanford pounded out at least 10 hits in 40 of the team s 67 games en route to a.299 average, while the College World Series club lifted that mark to.301 over 11 postseason contests. Stanford has also increased its long ball totals under Stotz guidance. The 1997 team hit 102 home runs to become the first club in school history to break the 100-home run mark, while the 2004 squad belted 96 round trippers for the secondhighest total in Stanford annals. Stotz was also effective during a four-year stint as the team s pitching coach, while still maintaining other responsibilities with baserunning and catchers. In just his second season working with the team s pitchers, in 1994, his staff posted a 3.74 ERA that was the best effort by a Cardinal group since 1977 (3.44). In 1995, the pitching corps produced a 4.08 team ERA while leading Stanford to a tie for fifth at the College World Series. In nine postseason contests in 1995, the Cardinal staff tossed five complete games, posted a 3.46 ERA and struck out 58 batters while walking just 14. In 1996, Stotz led a young staff to an even better 3.68 ERA and helped develop one of the top starting rotations in the nation in Kyle Peterson, Chad Hutchinson and Jeff Austin, all of whom went on to play Major League Baseball. In 1990, with Stotz heading up the team s defensive efforts, the Cardinal set a then-school record by posting an impressive.972 fielding percentage, committing only 77 errors in the 71-game season. In addition to his fine work on the diamond, Stotz is also known throughout the nation for his consistent top-notch recruiting efforts, which often rank among the best in the land. Under his guidance, Stanford s 1987 and 1988 recruiting classes were named the best in the nation by Collegiate Baseball. Stotz efforts ranked in the topfive in the nation for five straight years ( ), while four of his last eight classes have been ranked in the top-10 by Baseball America. Stotz also has a key role in Stanford s long-running and successful baseball camps held each summer, including the program s All Star Camp that annually attracts some of the top high school baseball talent in the country. In addition, he has produced several videos that teach the finer points of the game.
