Named the eighth head coach in Texas Tech history during the summer of 2008, Spencer has wasted no time rebuilding the Tech program. Spencer has led Texas Tech to 86 wins since taking over as head coach in 2009, and this past season guided his program to 33 victories - the Red Raiders most wins in a season since 2005. Included in Spencer s success as the skipper have been 24 victories against nationally-ranked opponents, a 56-30 record at Dan Law Field, three consecutive seasons with an increase in wins (25 in 2009, 28 in 2010, 33 in 2011), winning 13 conference series and mentoring 19 players since joining the Tech program as associate head coach in 2008 that have been drafted or signed free agent in the Major League Baseball Draft. In fact, five of Spencer s 19 draft picks have been taken in the top-10 rounds. The Red Raider faithful have also taken notice of Spencer s guidance to the program as Tech ranked 24th in the nation in 2011 averaging 2,771 fans per game. The Red Raiders average attendance marked the program s fifth highest all-time and the highest since 2002. Spencer has led Tech to three consecutive appearances at the Big 12 Championship, something that hadn t been done at Tech since 2004-06. Spencer s 86 victories in three seasons at Texas Tech rank second all-time among Red Raider head coaches during their first three seasons at the helm (Larry Hays - 1987-89, 87 wins). In addition, Spencer recorded his 50th career home win in 74 tries, which made him the fastest Texas Tech head coach ever to win 50 career home games (previous mark set by Kal Segrist - 76 games). The Red Raiders never-say-die attitude under Spencer has led them to 43 come-from behind wins under Spencer in three seasons. On the other side of things, Texas Tech has been nearly impossible to defeat with a lead late in the game with a 78-1 record under Spencer when holding a lead after eight innings. The 2011 season saw many highlights for Spencer and the Red Raiders, among them were winning on the road and during the midweek. Tech went 11-3 during midweek competition and won 10 road games, the program s most since 2001. In fact, Texas Tech swept three midweek road/neutral site series which set a new school record. Spencer has never avoided playing strong competition. The past two seasons the Red Raiders have played 45 games against ranked opponents. In 2011, Texas Tech led the league playing 20 games against ranked programs during the regular season. The previous year the Red Raiders took the field 25 times against ranked foes. Accolades came pouring in for the Red Raiders in 2011 while four players were named to five national award watch lists, including National Pitcher of the Year (RHP John Neely), Midseason Stopper of the Year (RHP John Neely), Johnny Bench Award (C Bo Altobelli), John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year (RHP/OF David Paiz) and Brooks Wallace Award (SS Kelby Tomlinson). Neely went on to earn All-America honors from the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association and from CollegeBaseballInsider.com while Tomlinson became the first Big 12 Conference player ever to be awarded the American Baseball Coaches Association Rawlings Division I Gold Glove Award (SS). Spencer, 46, rejoined the Texas Tech Baseball family on July 2, 2007 when he was named associate head coach on the staff of former head coach Larry Hays. He spent the 2008 season in that role where he coached the pitchers and catchers and headed Tech s recruiting front. His 2008 pitching staff produced two top-10 round MLB draft picks in juniors Zach Stewart and James Leverton, both of which had never been drafted prior to that season. Stewart was taken in the third round by the Cincinnati Reds while Leverton was taken in the eighth round by the Chicago Cubs. Prior to his arrival at Texas Tech, he spent 11 seasons at Oregon State, the last three as associate head coach, where he served as pitching/catching coach and recruiting coordinator. His pitching staffs during the last two seasons of his Oregon State tenure were instrumental in helping the Beavers become the first back-to-back College World Series Champions since LSU in the late 1990s. In those two seasons, his staffs compiled 3.41 and 3.48 cumulative ERAs while leading the team to 50-16 and 49-18 respective records. His group led the Pac-10 in ERA in both 2005 and 2006 while his bullpen helped pave the way to consecutive national titles by contributing 20-plus saves in both 2006 and 2007. Under his leadership, the Beavers had three pitchers and one catcher named to All-America teams and seven players drafted in the top 10 rounds of the MLB Draft. Eddie Kunz, the ace of the 2007 staff, and catcher Mitch Canham, the squad s leading hitter, were both first round draft selections in the 2007 MLB Draft. His collegiate coaching career began at the junior college level six years before arriving at Oregon State, as he landed his first job as an assistant coach at Tacoma Community College in Tacoma, Wash., in 1991. After just one season in Tacoma, he picked up his first head coaching position as he took over the program at Green River Community College in 1992. While at Green River, he compiled a record of 131-67 between 1992 and 1996. Year School Overall Conf.

NINE-GAME HOMESTAND Texas Tech opens the season with a nine-game homestand that covers the February portion of its schedule. It marks the fourth consecutive season that the Red Raiders have opened their scheduled with at least a six-game stint at home. Last year the Red Raiders began the season with a school-record 18-game homestand (12-6 record). TAKING A LOOK BACK Texas Tech is coming off a 33-25 overall record in 2011 with a seventh-place finish in the Big 12 Conference with a 12-15 league record. The Red Raiders return eight position players who all started at least 32 games while returning 12 pitchers, 10 of which threw at least 20 innings last season. ON THE HORIZON Texas Tech will host the third-annual Brooks Wallace Memorial Classic next weekend (Feb. 24-27) while No. 11 St. John s and Northern Illinois make the trip to Lubbock. TEXAS TECH ON OPENING DAY Texas Tech is 39-23 on Opening Day, which includes a 12-1 record since 1999. Fourth-year head coach Dan Spencer has led Tech to three consecutive wins on Opening Day, including an 8-0 shutout over Western Michigan last season. It marked Tech s first shutout on Opening Day since a 21-0 victory over Howard on Jan. 26, 2001. Overall, the shutout was just the fifth all-time for the Red Raiders on Opening Day (1966, 1986, 1993, 2001, 2011). Texas Tech s only loss over the past 12 years on Opening Day came against then-no. 19 Louisiana-Lafayette, 0-4, at the Roadrunner Classic in San Antonio on Feb. 23, 2008. OPENING DAY IN LUBBOCK Texas Tech has been nearly unbeatable when hosting Opening Day on their home turf with a 26-5 all-time record. The Red Raiders have won 12 straight Opening Day games at home, dating back to a 1-10 loss against TCU (2/11/97). In fact, since 1986, Texas Tech is 18-1 on Opening Day in its home ballpark. The Red Raiders will be playing their fourth consecutive Opening Day at home. HOME OPENING ATTENDANCES Last season Texas Tech defeated Western Michigan 8-0 on Opening Day and the home crowd showed its support with the best Opening Day home crowd since 2003. Tech had 2,398 fans in attendance last season for the season opener. Here is a look back at the past 11 years attendance on Opening Day at the home of Red Raider baseball. Year Attendance Result Opponent Score 2011 2,398 W Western Michigan 8-0 2010 2,243 W Jacksonville State 8-3 2009 1,866 W Southern Utah 14-3 2008 1,862 W Central Arkansas 15-6 2007 1,922 W Stephen F.

With a victory on Friday over Missouri State, Spencer would become just the second head coach in Texas Tech history to win four consecutive Opening Day games as head coach. Spencer would join Kal Segrist who won a school-record five consecutive Opening Day games to begin his 16-year tenure as head coach of the Red Raiders. COMING OUT RUNNIN If the past three Opening Day s are any indication, Missouri State s catcher better be ready to come up throwing. The past three seasons combined the Red Raiders have 15 stolen bases on Opening Day. In 2009, the Red Raiders swiped six bases (Rueda 3; Reed 2; Kenworthy) against Southern Utah, in 2010 Tech grabbed five stolen bases (Barnes 2; LeJeune, Mayo, Hagen) and last season Tech notched four stolen bases (Popescu 2, Redman, Tomlinson). TEXAS TECH RETURNS 19 LETTERWINNERS The Red Raiders return 19 letterwinners from last year s team, giving them back a high percentage of nearly every offensive and pitching category. Overall, Tech returns eight position players who started at least 32 games and 10 pitchers who threw at least 20 innings last season. Below is a look at what percentage returns for Tech (Hitting/Pitching). HITTING 92% of team s home runs 83% of team s extra-base hits 77% of team s base hits 75% of team s RBI 66% of team s stolen bases PITCHING 100% of team s saves 82% of team s wins 81% of team s innings pitched 81% of team s strikeouts GAME NOTES TECH HAS MOST RETURNING LETTERWINNERS IN OVER 31 YEARS Texas Tech returns 19 letterwinners from last season, marking the program s most returning letterwinners in over 31 years. Twice the past decade the Red Raiders have returned 18 letterwinners. JOHN NEELY & BARRETT BARNES RECEIVE PRESEASON ALL-AMERICA HONORS Texas Tech has had two players show up consistently in preseason All-America teams as senior RHP closer John Neely and junior CF Barrett Barnes have combined for six preseason All-American accolades. Neely, a third team All-America selection last season by the NCBWA, has earned preseason honors from NCBWA (second team) and College Baseball Insider (second team). Barnes has picked up four preseason All-America awards from Baseball America (third team), Perfect Game (third team), College Baseball Insider (honorable mention) and College Sports Madness (fourth team). In fact, Barnes has collected a total of 22 preseason awards from numerous media outlets and publications. BARRETT BARNES LOOKS TO CONTINUE OPENING DAY SUCCESS Junior CF Barrett Barnes has made a big splash the past two seasons on Opening Day. Combined, Barnes is 5-for-7 with four runs, three home runs and eight RBI in a pair of openers. Last season he opened the year going 2-for-3 with a double, solo home run and two RBI with two walks against Western Michigan. As a freshman, Barnes went 3-for-4 with three runs, two home runs (2-run, 3-run HRs) with six RBI and two stolen bases against Jacksonville State. That marked the best overall performance on Opening Day by a Tech freshman since 2006 (Roger Kieschnick - 2-for-4, grand slam, 6 RBI). BARNES & LeJEUNE CHASING 100 CAREER RBI MILESTONE A pair of Red Raiders are looking to join the Texas Tech 100-career RBI club as both Scott LeJeune (95 RBI in 111 games) and Barrett Barnes (91 RBI in 114 games) are nearing the milestone. The past 11 years, only 11 Texas Tech players have recorded 100 career RBI. Below is a list of Red Raiders with 100 career RBI (since 2000) and how quickly they reached the milestone. Player (Years at Tech) Career Games to Reach 100 RBI Cameron Blair (2004-05) 69 Nick Blankenship (2001-02) 90 Josh Haney (2003-04) 107 Gera Alvarez (2001-02) 115 Roger Kieschnick (2006-08) 117 Chris Richburg (2005, 2007-09) 119 Matt Smith (2005-07) 123 Taylor Ashby (2007-2010) 149 Cody Fuller (2002-05) 158 Madison Edwards (2002-05) 174 Joey Kenworthy (2007-2010) 181 Scott LeJeune (2009-Present) 95 RBI in 111 games Barrett Barnes (2010-Present) 91 RBI in 114 games JOHN NEELY ENTERS THE GAME = OPPONENT POWER OUTAGE Texas Tech All-American closer John Neely has pitched 65.1 consecutive innings without allowing a home run, which includes his last 31 appearances. That dates back to March 26, 2010 against No. 8 Texas (DH Kevin Keyes led off the top of the fourth with a solo HR to left-center field in Lubbock). In fact, Neely became the first Red Raider pitcher in over 16 years to not allow a home run during a season (min. 25 IP) in 2011. BO ALTOBELLI ENTERS 2012 WITH AN EIGHT-GAME HIT STREAK Entering the season, the longest active hit streak for a Red Raider belongs to junior catcher Bo Altobelli who ended the 2011 season with an eight-game streak. During the streak, Altobelli is batting.455 (10-for-22) with a grand slam, six RBI, three walks, a.520 on-base percentage and.591 slugging percentage. HOME SWEET HOME FOR von SCHAMANN & PAIZ A pair of sophomore Red Raider pitchers enjoyed pitching in Lubbock during their initial collegiate season as both RHP Duke von Schamann and RHP David Paiz were perfect when pitching at home. von Schamann recorded a 3-0 record with a 4.24 ERA in 23.1 innings with 11 strikeouts and four walks at home in 2011 while Paiz made nine appearances at home (4 GS) as a freshman going 3-0 with one save in 28.2 innings with 25 strikeouts and six walks allowed. RED RAIDERS ROTATION RETURNS - EACH EXPECTED TO PITCH IN DIFFERENT ROLES Dan Spencer could say that in 2011 he had the youngest weekend pitching rotation in the country. That would be easy to say after he started three freshmen on Friday, Saturday and Sunday last season during the final four Big 12 series. Sophomore Duke von Schamann, Trey Masek and David Paiz made up the rotation a year ago, but now it looks that von Schamann might the only one who remains in a starting role. It is projected that Masek will pitch in late-inning situations while Paiz could be used in middle relief. McCRUMMEN ENTERS SEASON WITH HIS OWN STREAK Texas Tech junior RHP reliever Jerad McCrummen enters the 2012 season with a streak of 10 consecutive appearances (8.1 IP) without allowing a walk. McCrummen made his debut season with the Red Raiders last season and finished the year making 26 appearances, marking the second most all-time by a Red Raider pitcher in their debut season. 6

GAME NOTES DAN SPENCER LOOKING TO BECOME THIRD TECH HEAD COACH WITH 100 WINS Texas Tech head coach Dan Spencer enters the season with 86 career wins in three seasons as the skipper of the Red Raiders.

Nine Tech players earned Dean s List status (3.50-4.00 GPA) while three Red Raiders recorded perfect 4.0 GPAs. NEW OPPONENTS Texas Tech will play two first-time opponents this season when they host both Tennessee Tech and Florida Gulf Coast. Last season the Red Raiders faced three first-time opponents (Western Michigan, Utah Valley, Iowa) who they went a combined 4-0 against. TEXAS TECH IN THE PRESEASON POLLS Texas Tech has been ranked anywhere from third-to-seventh in preseason Big 12 Conference polls by Baseball America, Perfect Game USA, College Baseball Daily, College Baseball Today and by the league s head coaches.
