2013 JMU Baseball - 1

welcomeA Message from the CoachWelcome to JMU baseball. We have three goals here at JMU that we strive for year in and year out.

1. To get a great degree from a great university. The academics at JMU are nationally ranked and a degree from JMU is priceless.

2. To win championships. JMU baseball has a storied tradition and has the highest win-ning percentage in the state of Virginia. Most recently in 2008 and 2011, the Dukes won the CAA championship and played well in the NCAA regionals. We have won many regular season championships and have attended several NCAA tournaments, including 1983 when the Diamond Dukes advanced to the College World Series. JMU was the first university in Virginia to reach Omaha.

3. To play at the next level. JMU leads the state and the CAA in number of players who have had the opportunity to play professional baseball. JMU has produced 87 players in its 42-year existence who have gone on to play professionally, with 11 of those reaching the Major Leagues. In 2010, we moved into brand-new Veterans Memorial Park. The new state-of-the-art facility houses the entire program and all of its needs, includ-ing locker rooms, training rooms, weight room, team room, study hall area, coaches offices, and indoor workout space. The facility is a tremendous step in the growth of our program.

It’s an exciting time for JMU baseball as we continue to take great strides to build our program.

Go Dukes!

2013 Schedule


this is jmu BAseBAllThis is JMU Baseball Past, Present, and Future

James Madison University’s baseball program has been in existence for 37 seasons at the NCAA Division I level. In that short amount of time, the program under the direction of first head coach Brad Babcock, head coaches Ray Heatwole and Kevin Anderson, and currently head coach Joe “Spanky” McFarland has been a player in the Colonial Athletic Association, regionally and on the national level.

With two CAA tournament championships, seven conference regular season championships, nine NCAA regional appearances and a trip to Omaha for the College World Series, the program truly is stacked with winning tradition.

Being hidden away in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of western Virginia hasn’t kept professional baseball scouts from discovering the wealth of quality athletes in the JMU baseball program. More than 87 players have had the oppor-tunity to play at the next level, with 11 players reaching Major League Baseball.

Teamwork is a staple at JMU, yet there have been several baseball players who have won individual awards along the way. JMU has produced 17 All-Americans, 11 freshmen All-Americans, and 57 All-East Region players. Both Eddie Kim and Kellen Kulbacki were two-time CAA Player of the Year honorees along with 2011 winner Jake Lowery. Kulbacki was tabbed the National Division I Player of the Year after his amazing 2006 season while Lowery was named National Hitter of the Year and the Johnny Bench Award winner as the nation’s top catcher. With the CAA celebrating its 25th year in 2010, Kulbacki, Kim, Greg Miller, and Dana Allison were named to the league’s 25th anniversary team.

Academically, JMU has grown from a small college to a major university that is highly rated by all of the publications whose job it is to rank the various aspects of higher education.

Going into the 2013 season, 18 of 26 players return from a squad that fell short of expectations due to significant injuries after winning the CAA regular season and tournament titles in 2011. The Dukes return eight field starters plus Matt Tenaglia, a key cog in the lineup who was missed during the 2012 season. On the mound, a sophomore-dominated squad returns three starting pitchers and features at least a handful of pitchers capable of firing 90 miles per hour or more.

The fall season was tremendously successful, on the field, in the classroom, and in the weight room, as the present team as a group got after it and worked extremely hard. It’s not easy to be a member of the JMU baseball program. There are 6 a.m. workouts, challenging academics, and long, hard practices that will test even the most committed. The lessons learned are invaluable and will carry you through life.

The future of the JMU baseball program is bright. This year will be the fourth for a brand new, state-of-the-art facility in Eagle Field at Veterans Memorial Park. The coaches’ offices, locker room, team room, weight room, training room, and indoor practice facil-ity have been relocated to Memorial Hall, which is located about 100 yards from the new stadium. This is a giant step toward the goal of James Madison University taking a leap forward in the national rankings in baseball.

I invite you to learn more about our program by visiting our web page at JMUSports.com or by attending one of our outstanding summer or winter camps. My staff and I look for-ward to spending time with you as you make your academic and athletic choices in the near future.

Sincerely,

Coach MacJoe “Spanky” McFarland, Head Coach

It is available in bookstores or by calling (800) 747-4457 as well as online at www.humankinetics.com.“Spanky’s teaching went beyond those of physical development. He also instilled in me a confident and aggressive mental approach to pitch-ing, a true necessity in developing a pitcher’s physical talents to his fullest.”

trAditionCollege World Series -

30th AnniversaryFor as long as baseball is played at James

Madison University, the 1983 season will always hold a special significance in the history of one of JMU’s most successful athletic programs. The Dukes opened the season with an exhibition doubleheader against the defending world cham-

pion St. Louis Cardinals, won the NCAA Eastern Regional championship, competed in the College

World Series and had four players chosen in the Major League Baseball draft.

JMU received an at-large bid to the NCAA Eastern Regional where the Dukes stunned a strong field to become the first Virginia team to qualify for the College World Series.

JMU, which compiled a 37-13 record, was among the final entries selected for the 36-team NCAA field, and the Dukes silenced any critics with their on-field performance. JMU upset top-seeded South Carolina 9-4 in the opener of the six-team tournament and used timely hitting, consistent pitching and solid defense to compile a 4-0 regional record.

After the win over South Carolina, the Dukes defeated ECAC South Tournament champion William and Mary (13-8),SouthernConferencewinnerTheCitadel(5-2)andEastCoastConferencechampionDelaware(6-5).

Having advanced to the College World Series, the Dukes faced two of the nation’s top three teams in Omaha, Neb. The CWS field of eight teams included sev-eral future major leaguers, including Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Barry Larkin, Pete Incaviglia, Dave Magadan, and Chris Sabo. The Dukes fell to Texas and CWS Most Outstanding Player Calvin Schiraldi 12-0 before being eliminated by Stanford 3-1.

Members of the 1983 team held a 25th anniversary reunion Sept. 15, 2007 during a JMU home football game.
