4 JOE RACCUIA Head Coach :: 9th Season at Radford Joe Raccuia, a 1995 Radford graduate, returned to his roots on July 10, 2007 when he was named the fifth head coach in Radford baseball history. Entering his ninth season as the head man for the Highlanders, a Radford uniform has been a winning fit for Raccuia. Throughout his 12 seasons in a Highlander uniform, Raccuia has been apart of 323 total wins as a player ( ), assistant coach (1996) and head coach (2008-present), better than 47 percent of the program s all-time victories dating back to Raccuia s most successful season in a Radford uniform came during an historic 2015 season as the Highlanders finished with a record, setting a new school record in wins. The season also saw the programs first Big South regular season and conference championships, while earning a trip the NCAA Nashville Regional. In the regional, RU went 2-2, including wins over No. 3 Indiana and No. 4 Lipscomb. RU finished Big South play with a 20-4 record, earning Raccuia the Big South Coach of the Year award. Raccuia becomes only the third RU head coach to earn the honor. Including a record six all-conference selections in 2015, 32 of Raccuia s players have earned all-conference honors. The 2015 squad posted a.289/.386/.425 line, while leading the Big South with 122 doubles and 362 RBI. The Highlander bats were led by Big South first-teamers Josh Gardiner and Patrick Marshall. Gardiner narrowly missed the Big South batting title, finishing second with a.368 average, while leading the league with a.451 on-base percentage. Marshall led the conference and set a new RU single-season record with 59 RBI. Big South second team member Hunter Higgerson finished with 25 doubles, leading the Big South and setting a new RU season record. Higgerson finished second behind Marshall in RBI, driving in 53 runs. Shane Johnsonbaugh earned Big South second team honors after leading RU in hits (76), runs scored (50) and walks (38). Radford can attest their 2015 success to their pitching staff and bullpen. The Highlanders finished with a 3.95 ERA, a new single-season record.

The Highlanders only allowed 276 runs, their lowest since the 2000 season. Big South First Team member, Ryan Meisinger was named a finalist for the NCBWA Stopper of the Year award after leading the NCAA in saves with 17. Meisinger finished his career with a 2.60 ERA, a new RU career mark. Michael Boyle earned Big South First Team honors after leading the Big South in wins (10) and finishing second in innings pitched (105.1). With the 10 wins, Boyle became the first Highlander to lead the league in wins, while setting a new RU single-season record. The 2015 senior class concluded their careers with a overall record, the most wins for a four-year class in program history. The group led RU to three consecutive 30-plus win seasons. Getting players to the professional ranks has been a staple for Raccuia during his time as the headman at RU. Raccuia has oversaw 10 players drafted in the MLB First Year Player Draft, with two players signing non-drafted free agent contracts. In 2012, Eddie Butler was the 46th overall selection of the Colorado Rockies in the draft - the highest draft selection in Radford University program history and the first Big South Conference player to be selected in the draft s first round. On June 6, 2014, Butler became the third Radford player to make it to the big leagues with his MLB debut for the Colorado Rockies. Raccuia s success has come both on and off the field of play, including facilities, player development, recruiting and academics. On his watch, two major baseball facilities have opened: the on-campus hitting facility and RU Baseball Stadium. The stadium, which opened on April 8, 2011, became the cornerstone of Radford s program thanks in part to Raccuia s extensive fund-raising and planning efforts. The project went from conception in the Fall of 2010, to completion during the 2011 season as a result of his work. Raccuia also spearheaded the work done to the playing surface and dugouts in time for the 2010 season. All of the improvements to the facilities marked the first major capital upgrades since Raccuia s playing days at RU. On the academic side, the program has earned several honors under Raccuia. The 2008 season saw Alex Gregory collect the second Big South Scholar-Athlete of the Year award in program history. During the Raccuia reign, RU has placed six players on the Big South All-Academic Team and two on the CoSIDA Academic All-District team.
