Conversations with College Coaches: Mercyhurst College

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 00:00:00 EST

Baseball Factory is privileged to work with programs from every level of college baseball. We strive to educate and guide our players when it comes to choosing the right school. The more information a player knows about a school, coach and program, the better. Dan Mooney had the chance to sit down with Joe Spano, the Head Coach at Mercyhurst College. Mercyhurst is a Division II program in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference. Find out what Coach Spano had to say about his mentors, the importance of video and what he looks for in a recruit.

1.   How long have you been coaching? How long at Mercyhurst College?
I have been at Mercyhurst for 14 years, 12 as a head coach and two as an assistant. I spent two summers as the head coach of the Metro NY Cadets of the ACBL in 2002 and 2003.

2.   Who are some of your mentors or coaches that you look up to?
The greatest mentor to me has been my head coach at Lewis University, Irish O’Reilly. I was a sophomore in 1995 when the program at Division I Boston University was cut. I was not happy about having to transfer, until I received a call from Coach O’Reilly about attending perennial Division II power Lewis U. It was the best two years of my baseball career. I met my wife at Lewis and I learned so much about coaching and life from him. I was very proud to be part of his ABCA Hall of Fame induction in 2008. Coach has called me at least once a month from the day I graduated and he offers advice on every situation you could imagine.

3.   What is the first thing about Mercyhurst and its baseball program that you want recruits to know about?
The first thing I want recruits to know about our program is that the coaches and the athletes will never be outworked. Whether it’s in the classroom, on the field, recruiting or fundraising, we are always seeking out a way to work harder and get better.

4.   What do you look for in a prospective recruit on the field? Off the field?
On the field, I look for the kid that has the dirtiest uniform. The first thing that stands out to me is the hustle play, running on and off the field, leadership and competitiveness. Sometimes as coaches we put too much stock in 60 times, but some of my best players could never break a 7.0, but they all had a tremendous competitive drive.

5.   How has video helped you in the recruiting process?
Video helps a lot; it’s much better to see some footage than just a photo or a resume. I still believe there is no substitute for seeing an actual game, but with time constraints, weather and recruiting budgets, video is extremely helpful.

Need Video? Get filmed at a Baseball Factory Premium Video Program and get started on your recruiting process.

6.   Mercyhurst obviously had a great season last year, winning 42 games and the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference. What were you telling your players this fall to build on last season’s success?
I tell the current team that they should feel tremendous pride about the program, that they are part of history of Mercyhurst baseball. I know that this year’s team wants to make the alumni proud and create their own place in history that they can talk about at alumni games forever.

7.   Can you break down your fall practice schedule? What are you all trying to accomplish?
We have a heavy concentration of intersquad games and live situation since we know that we may not be outside until our first game. As coaches, we use the fall to constantly evaluate. We chart everything and then come up with a plan for individual work outs. During that time, we do the most teaching and hope we can get everyone on the same page when we began full practice in January.

8.   Do you have a strength and conditioning coach?
Yes, there is a strength coach who works at the college and is accessible to the athletes, but for the past few years we have designated one of our coaches who has a background in strength and conditioning to oversee it for the team.

9.   What can you tell us about your facilities?
The best part of our facilities is our turf field. We can practice or play when most of the area cannot. We have 3 weight rooms on campus, an indoor field house with our cages and mounds. Once a week we rent a golf dome and we attempt to scrimmage live indoors.

10.   What part of the 2012 schedule are you looking forward to the most?
I can hardly sleep just thinking about the first game. I love watching my team play any game, but going to Boca Raton, Florida every year to play the 2009 National Champions Lynn University is an honor. Coach Garbolosa is one of the best in the business and he always fields such an incredible team. I also hope that we are lucky enough to play in the PSAC tournament; it’s one of the best tournaments I have ever been in. Every team is so talented and well coached, and I enjoy talking to the coaches and the kids that play in the east division that we don’t get to see during the season.

11.   Is there anything you would like to add about your assistant coaches, recruits, parents, or program that we have not asked you about?
I am so blessed to have the staff that we do and to work with my brother, who I know will never tell me what I want to hear and is never afraid to challenge what we are doing. He is always working and pushing to make this program better. He has worked every odd job on this campus to become full time because he loves the game and loves working for such a fine college. We were lucky to have a three-time all-conference player from the PSAC join our staff this year in former Slippery Rock stand out Billy Herman. And it doesn’t get any better than working with your own former players. After having John Mang work with our pitchers and do an incredible job the last two years, we now have former Cubs draftee Steve Grife coming back to be our pitching coach.

Conversations with College Coaches: Pacific University

Mon, 23 Jan 2012 00:00:00 EST

Woody Wingfield, our Director of College Recruiting Operations, recently caught up with Assistant Baseball Coach/Recruiting Coordinator Matt Daily from Pacific University. Pacific University plays in the Northwest Conference and in 2011 finished the year with a 21 - 16 - 2 record. Check out what Coach Daily looks for in a recruit, how he uses video to recruit players and what recruits can expect for fall practices.

1.   So, you’ve recently moved to Pacific University from Menlo College. How long have you been coaching overall?
I’ve enjoyed the transition from Menlo College up to Pacific very much. I’ve been involved in baseball in some capacity for 15 years in some capacity – playing, coaching, or scouting. I’ve had a chance to coach at the DI, JC and D III levels, and was recently the Head Coach at NAIA Menlo College in Northern California.

2.   Who are some of your mentors or coaches that you look up to?
There’s been a ton of coaches that have made a profound impact on me, especially early-on when I started coaching at the collegiate level. Ritch Price (Kansas) has been a profound influence in my career. He is special in that he has this innate quality to both motivate his players as well as make everyone around him feel welcome and special. My current boss, Greg Bradley, and college coach, Jerry Gatto, are just great motivators and men of integrity. My former coaching staff at Menlo was a special group – (Matt Allison, Jimmy Meuel, Ben Quinto, David Tufo), and were some of the most motivated teachers and passionate coaches I have been around.   They made coaching fun and exciting for me. Coach Marquess, Stotz and RW (Stanford), Nino Giarratano and his staff at USF, John Smith (Sac St. - retired), Bob Whalen (Dartmouth), Ed McCann (just resigned at Alabama A&M), Mark O’Brien (San Jose State)…I could go on and on…

3.   What is the first thing about Pacific and its baseball program that you want recruits to know about?
Pacific truly is a hidden gem and special place, although the word is quickly getting out. There has been an active “buzz” and “energy” about Pacific the last several months, which is exciting! Pacific is unique in that it is in a college town (Forest Grove, OR), yet 30 minutes from downtown Portland. Although I have been here since August, I have felt a genuine sense of family and camaraderie on campus among faculty, students, and staff. Students love being here and going to school here. The academic and athletic facilities are unlike any small college in the Western Region. Combine this with tremendous academics, and it becomes something that potential recruits need to consider. It has been fun for me already to see several recruits and their families’ eyes light up when they come to the campus for the first time.

4.   What do you look for in a prospective recruit on the field? Off the field?
There is a lot that goes into the process for us when we look for potential players – it is important to us that we find the right player for our program. We speak a lot about finding the right “fit” and the right “feel,” and the process is a two-way street. In short, we love baseball players that enjoy not only the idea of competition, but also the process of getting better and working hard. Off the field, academics will always be the top priority here, so a student must be diligent and organized. For me, good students make great baseball players, because their academic success already shows me the ability to be disciplined in many different aspects of their lives.

5.   How has video helped you in the recruiting process?
As a young coach, I didn’t understand the value of video as much as I do now. Baseball is such a unique sport in that practice is about repetition of certain skills. Often we run practices that include drilling fundamental actions and aspects of hitting, pitching, and defense. Video is important to capture a prospect both in a practice or game situation. We like to use video more as a means of introduction, and don’t look to make personnel decisions based upon a small amount of film. Film misses a player’s ability to make adjustments, which is important for us to see and understand.

Need Video? Get filmed at a Baseball Factory Premium Video Program and get started on your recruiting process.

6.   Can you break down your fall practice schedule? What were you all working on to prepare for the spring season?
The fall (or non-traditional) season is extremely important. The NCAA limits the number of practice time we can have, so the days we work together become extremely important. Evaluation of skills of new players is important, as well as an assessment of how returning members of our program have developed since the conclusion of the previous season. Our staff makes teaching a priority in the fall, just to allow all to adjust and be on the same page. Competition is important to us, so we do everything we can to create and foster a competitive environment during the fall. Spring is about becoming game-ready, extending pitchers, and becoming crisp and fluid as a unit.

7.   Do you have a strength and conditioning coach?
We do actually have a full-time strength and conditioning coach that is available to all of our student-athletes. Combined with our two weight rooms and indoor field turf facility, and we have the ability to train in a variety of ways.

8.   What can you tell us about the facilities at Pacific?
In short, the facilities are incredible. Often, recruits and families mention their amazement with the facilities we have when they are on campus. It’s fun to see recruits and their parents light up with excitement when we show them around. Bafaro Baseball Stadium is less than five years old has stadium seating and lights, and is designed exclusively for baseball use year-round. It is a great place to practice as well as watch a game. We also have an indoor facility with field turf that was installed in September. Other than Oregon and Oregon State, it is the biggest indoor field-turfed facility in the State. We are able to take a full infield and work on any type of offensive/defensive situation possible should weather be an issue.   Add in our two weight rooms and locker room, and this place becomes a special place to practice and play baseball.

9.   What part of the 2012 schedule are you looking forward to the most?
I’m genuinely excited to be back in the Northwest, and the Northwest Conference. It’s one of my favorite conferences I have coached in. All are great academic schools with similar values yet are extremely competitive baseball programs. We open our season playing six games in Hawaii against DII schools, which will be tremendous for our kids and program.

10.   Is there anything you would like to add about your assistant coaches, recruits, parents, or program that we have not asked you about?
Pacific is a hidden gem, and I can’t think of anywhere else I would want to be. It is such an exciting place – it’s not often when we can look around as baseball coaches and feel that all the pieces exist to do great things. With Pacific’s combination of a strong academic environment, tremendous student body, its location in a small college town near a big city, off the charts facilities, and the baseball program coming off a great year last year, I could not be more excited about the future. This will be a great home for some talented students and talented baseball players in the coming years.

2012 Under Armour Pre-Season All-America Tournament Recap

Mon, 23 Jan 2012 00:00:00 EST

For many high school players across the country, January is often the off-season, a time for training and preparation off the field. But this is not the case for all high school players. In fact, every January for the past six years the top players from across the country have traveled to Tucson, Arizona for the Under Armour Pre-Season All-America Tournament. These high level athletes are selected based on strong performances at previous Under Armour Baseball Factory events or by recommendation from a professional scout. For these players, January is both a culmination of their dedication and hard work and a step towards reaching the next level.

This year marked the sixth annual Under Armour Pre-Season All-America Tournament. The three day event returned to the Kino Sports Complex, former Spring Training Home of the Arizona Diamondbacks. A total of 332 players from 43 states, the Bahamas and Canada represented their region in the 24-team tournament. Among the talented young players on this year’s roster were two 2011 Under Armour All-Americans, Teddy Stankiewicz and Carson Kelly. For Kelly, this year’s tournament gave him a perfect four-for-four in Pre-Season All-American selections, putting him into an elite class of four-time Under Armour Pre-Season All-Americans. It was clear from the Opening Awards Ceremony that the 2012 Under Armour Pre-Season All-America Tournament would be a great event for these talented young players, ready to showcase their skills and take their game to the next level.

Day 1
To kick off this year’s Under Armour Pre-Season All-America Tournament, players and parents attended the Opening Awards Ceremony at the event headquarters. Baseball Factory’s staff of current and former professional players, coaches and scouts was on-hand to welcome families to the event. In keeping with tradition, players arrived in coat and tie, a distinction initially established to set a high standard throughout the duration of the tournament. In another tradition synonymous to this high level event, all players were outfitted in official Under Armour Pre-Season All-America Team uniforms, including Under Armour cleats, jerseys and hats. Along with the performance outfitting, each player received an official certificate commemorating their selection to the event. Steve Bernhardt, Baseball Factory’s Executive Vice President of Baseball Operations, led the welcome before each player was recognized in front of the audience of over 1,000 players, families and coaches. The event’s keynote speaker Mike Toomey followed. Mike has spent 33 years working in professional baseball and currently serves as Special Assistant to Kansas City Royals General Manager Dayton Moore. He has worked for the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Texas Rangers, the New York Mets and the Kansas City Royals. In 1992, he was named Major League Baseball Scout of the Year. For his continued excellence as a professional scout, Toomey was inducted into the Mid-Atlantic Major League Scouts Hall of Fame in 2011. Mike signed on as a Scouting Consultant for Baseball Factory in 2006 and the Factory was thrilled to have him on hand to speak with players and parents. His message really seemed to resonate with players and parents, and was a great way to end the first of this three-day event.

Day 2
Players took the field Saturday morning for the professional workout which included offensive and defensive showcases, as well as the 60-yard dash. The workout was captured by Baseball Factory’s professional videographers to subsequently edit and place onto each player’s Baseball Factory Player Page. Our scouts were impressed throughout the workout as the players demonstrated why they were selected as Under Armour Pre-Season All-Americans. Following the morning workout, tournament games began with each team playing in an afternoon match-up. For teams like the Midwest, North, Northeast and Atlantic, the mild Arizona weather was a welcomed opportunity to not only showcase in front of professional scouts but also to begin preparing for their spring season against top talent. The professional scouts and college coaches in attendance made their rounds on Saturday, including an extended stop at Field 5 for the Texas v. California game. Teddy Stankiewicz (above), 2011 Under Armour All-American and starting pitcher, took the mound for Texas. The senior RHP sat consistently at 91 mph with his fastball, topping out at 93 mph and consistently throwing for strikes.

The warm afternoon sun gave way to cooler temperatures as the first round of tournament games came to a close. That evening, as in year’s past, Baseball Factory hosted a Scouting and College Recruiting Panel for all players and parents in attendance. This year the panel featured experts with indispensable experience in the industry, including Rob Naddelman, Dan Mooney, Chad Addison & Mark Daniels. Rob Naddelman, Baseball Factory’s President, and Dan Mooney, Baseball Factory's Senior Director of College Recruiting, led the discussion in front of the large turnout of players and parents. Each brought their personal experiences and knowledge of the recruiting process to the discussion. Also contributing their personal experiences and unique point of views to the interactive dialogue were Mark Daniels, Head Baseball Coach at Virginia High School and current Professional Scout, and Chad Addison, College Scout and former college baseball head coach. The invaluable information shared during the panel not only capped a great day on the field, but also provided players and parents with a better understanding of the complex recruiting process.

Day 3
Sunday brought unseasonable overcast skies and even some afternoon rain showers. Every team competed in two six-inning games over the course of the day, completing every game despite the late inclement weather. Throughout the tournament and particularly during games, players were able to take advantage of connecting with professional scouts as many worked the tournament as part of the coaching staff. For a full list of college coaches and professional scouts in attendance, click here.

Strong performances were evident to coaches and scouts on the final day of the tournament, from notable pitching to above average catching performances. As part of the recognition owed to the outstanding talent present at the event, players who rated as having “Top Tools” will be receiving special mention on Baseball Factory’s web site over the coming weeks. In addition to top talent recognition, all players will receive additional exposure to college coaches and professional scouts, as Baseball Factory contacts every coach and MLB scouting department when the video footage and evaluation from the event becomes available through our online player database. As the final day at the Kino Sports Complex came to a close, teammates said goodbye to their new friends and coaches shared parting advice before the lights went out on another great tournament.

Baseball Factory would like to congratulate all of the players who were selected to and participated in this year’s Under Armour Pre-Season All-America Tournament. Since 2009, 120 Under Armour Pre-Season All-Americans have been drafted; over 15 players have been selected to the Under Armour All-America Game at Wrigley Field and hundreds more have gone on to play college baseball. Baseball Factory is proud the tradition of excellence continued at this year’s Under Armour Pre-Season All-America Tournament. As we look to the spring season, we also look forward to the 2012 Under Armour All-America Game. For players like Carson Kelly, the Pre-Season event has not only served as an opportunity to impress scouts and showcase among other talented young baseball players, but also as the first step on the road to Wrigley.

Do you want to be considered for next year’s event?
Show our scouts you have what it takes at an Under Armour Baseball Factory National Tryout, coming to a ballpark near you in 2012.

Conversations with College Coaches: Monmouth University

Tue, 20 Dec 2011 00:00:00 EST

Baseball Factory is privileged to work with programs from every level of college baseball. We strive to educate and guide our players when it comes to choosing the right school. The more information a player knows about a school, coach and program, the better. Woody Wingfield had the chance to sit down with Dean Ehehalt, the Head Coach at Monmouth University and current record holder for most wins in Northeast Conference history. Monmouth is a Division I program in the Northeast Conference. Find out what Coach Ehehalt had to say about his mentors, the importance of video and what he looks for in a recruit.

1.   How long have you been coaching? How long at Monmouth University?
23 years and I am in my 19th at Monmouth.

2.   Who are some of your mentors or coaches that you look up to?
I had many coaches who influenced me and shaped my philosophy. I was able to take a little from each one of those coaches. I cherish those relationships and think about them often.

3.   What is the first thing about Monmouth and its baseball program that you want recruits to know about?
It is a great place to be a college baseball player. Academically, Monmouth develops students and provides them with the opportunity to get a quality education in a great learning environment. Athletically, we put a great amount of work into giving our players a first class experience. We play quality non-conference opponents, compete for our Northeast Conference Championship on a regular basis and also have demonstrated the ability to develop our players’ physical skills that will give them the best chance to reach our team goals and their individual goals. Our campus is one mile from the beach, so it’s a great place to live and go to school.

4.   What do you look for in a prospective recruit on the field? Off the field?
There is no science to recruiting. One thing we look for is of course baseball talent. We also look for guys that love to play, love to compete, have a bunch of energy and that old grind it out mentality. Off the field, character is huge as well as a young person who respects those around him.

5.   How has video helped you in the recruiting process?
Video has helped get acquainted with a player’s ability, especially with someone from out of the area. I like the fact that video can show a specific talent as well as expose a weakness or show improvement from a player.

Need Video? Get filmed at a Baseball Factory Premium Video Program and get started on your recruiting process.

6.   Monmouth obviously had a great season last year, winning 25 games in the Northeast Conference. What are you telling your players this fall to build on last season’s success?
We have been very fortunate to have a bunch of good players and good teams over the years. When this is the case, the “torch” is kind of passed along from the upperclassmen. We are proud of the fact that we won 36 games last year, but are still looking at last year as a learning experience and we are trying to build on that. Our goal is the same every year and this year will be no different; our journey will be a little different though. We emphasize winning every pitch and don’t put too much of an emphasis on last year’s successes. Our 2012 team is trying to carve their own niche.

7.   Can you break down your fall practice schedule? What are you all trying to accomplish?
We have a format that allows us to have full team practice for approximately six weeks. Within this time frame we emphasize the development of individual skills offensively and defensively as well as team offense and team defensive concepts. We always try to make the game as challenging as possible by competing as much as we can. We like to play as many innings as   possible while letting the players show us what they can do? The emphasis in the fall is to build the foundation for the spring.

8.   Do you have a strength and conditioning coach?
Yes, Tim Rehm is our coach and he does a great job with our players. He really emphasizes player development and it shows.

9.   What can you tell us about your facilities?
Our home field is a great park to play in. It is picturesque, fan friendly and we draw a very good crowd. Our indoor training area provides us with a very good area to develop our skills year round. The Monmouth University Athletic Center (MAC) is a brand new state of the art athlete center that houses our locker room. Overall, we have very nice facilities that allow for maximum player development.

10.   What part of the 2012 schedule are you looking forward to the most?
Personally, the entire schedule is exciting.   I look forward to conference play, but it is a long process and there has to be some balance.

11.   Is there anything you would like to add about your assistant coaches, recruits, parents, or program that we have not asked you about?
My assistant coaches do a great job. Coach Barbalinardo has been with me for all 19 years; my first two were his last two as a player and he has been on the staff for 17 years. Coach Belanger is as good a young coach as there is; he has really done a great job with our pitchers and is a tireless worker. Coach Oliveri is in his first year and has come in and made an immediate impact. We feel like we have built Monmouth into a very nice place to play.
