Head Coach lohn Radovich
Fighting Scot head baseball coach John
Radovich returns for his 10th season at Edinboro
University. Radovich has guided the Scots to the
post-season two of the past three seasons and in
1994, became the first head coach since 1971 to
lead Edinboro to the Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference Western Division crown. The 1994
squad, which was ranked as high as 16th in
Division II, also advanced to the NCAA Division II
National Tournament for the first time in school
history, hosting the Northeast Regionals.
In 1995, the Fighting Scots, who were
ranked as high as 11th during the regular season,
finished second in the conference and once again
returned to the postseason. The 30 wins by the
1995 squad was the third time an Edinboro team had won 30 or more games
under Radovich.
Five players under Radovich have been taken in the Major League
Baseball Amateur draft the past ten years, including right-handed pitcher Mark
Corey, who was the Scots’ highest-ever draft choice when he was selected by
the Cincinnati Reds in the fourth round of the 1994 amateur draft.
He owns an overall record of 188-227 with the Fighting Scots, and is a
combined 332-281 at CCAC and Edinboro University.
Radovich began his coaching career at his Alma Matter, Pittsburgh’s
Central Catholic as an assistant. In 1979, his Viking squad earned a berth in
the Pennsylvania State finals, finishing third in the state.
Radovich also coached at Community College of Allegheny-South
Campus in Pittsburgh (CCAC), where he posted a 144-63 record in five sea­
sons. CCAC-South won the Western Pennsylvania Collegiate Conference
Championship in 1984 and 1986, and captured the state Junior college title in
1984. His 1983 and 1985 teams also won section championships at CCAC.
Additionally, Radovich coached in the Keystone State Games for four seasons,
with his teams capturing three gold and one silver medal.
Upon arriving at Edinboro in 1987, Radovich orchestrated the major
renovations to the baseball complex that now make the facilities comparable to
those found in minor-league professional baseball.
During his collegiate coaching career, Radovich has been honored by
various organizations. In 1986 he was named “Coach of the Year” at CCAC.
Radovich was also honored by Edinboro University as “Coach of the Year" in
1991 at the EUP Hall of Fame Banquet. After his team set an all-time best, 173 conference record in 1994, Radovich was named the PSAC-West “Coach of
the Year.”
The improvement of facilities, and a new approach toward the program,
have led to a new attitude for Edinboro Baseball. That attitude can be attributed
to the intelligence, personality and effort of John Radovich.

Fighting Scots In The Pros
# Name
Since 1988, five Fighting Scots have been selected in
the annual Major League Baseball Amateur draft, held each
June. Four pitchers and one position player have signed
major-league contracts with professional teams under head
coach John Radovich’s tenure.
In 1988, left-handed pitcher Tom Mathews (Pittsburgh,
Pa.) became the first player under Radovich to be drafted, as
he was chosen by the Los Angeles Dodgers. Mathews com­
piled a 4-5 record with the Scots in one
season at Edinboro University before
joining the Dodgers organization.
I
In 1993, first baseman Brad Aurila

Tim Codd

(Coraopolis, Pa.) became the second player to be drafted
under Radovich, as he was chosen in the 38th round by the
Montreal Expos. Aurila holds various career hitting and field­
ing records for the Fighting Scots, including most at bats
(561), games (179) and putouts (1,099)
Right-handed pitcher Pete Nyari (Erie, Pa.) was

I

selected in the 17th round of the draft in 1994 by the
Philadelphia Phillies. Nyari, who has filled a closer role in the
Mark Corey bullpen in his first three seasons of professional baseball, will
begin 1997 in Piedmont, North Carolina,
home of a Class A affiliate of the Phillies. Nyari shares the
Edinboro school record for strikeouts in a season with 73,
accomplishing that in only two seasons at EUR
In 1995, two more right-handed pitchers were taken in
the June draft as hurlers Mark Corey (Austin, Pa.) and Tim
Codd (North Tonowanda, N.Y.) both signed with professional
organizations. Corey, selected by the Cincinnati Reds in the
fourth round, was the highest draft choice ever at Edinboro
University. After two injury-plagued seasons with the Reds’
Princeton (Class A) affiliate, Corey has recovered from arm
and shoulder injuries and will return to the diamond once
Pete Nyari
more in 1997. Corey, who shares the single-season strikeout
record with Nyari, also holds Edinboro University career records for most wins
(17), complete games (14) and strikeouts (154).
Codd, a 46th round selection by the Texas Rangers in 1995, recorded a 7-1
record in his first season of professional baseball at Texas’ Class A affiliate
Hudson Valley before suffering arm injuries in 1996. Codd also recorded
11 wins for the Scots in his four years in the Edinboro program.
“It’s been a pleasure to coach and work with these players,” said
Radovich. “I think it (being drafted) reflects not only the talent of the play­
ers themselves, but the caliber of competition that these players have
been exposed to while at Edinboro University.”

Scots Shooting for Another Post-Season Berth
Outfiuldurs
Sophomore centerfielder Chris
Winters will anchor the outfield in ‘97.
Winters, who finished second on the Scots
with a .366 batting average last season,
was selected first-team All-North Atlantic
Region last season. He also was named
the PSAC “Rookie of the Year” in 1996.
Winters should find himself at the top of
the batting order, utilizing his speed and
left-handed bat.
Junior Sean Rusko, who also pitches
for the ‘Boro, adds speed and another lefthanded bat in the lineup. Both Winters
and Rusko were perfect last season on
the basepaths, as the two would combine
for 19 stolen bases in 19 attempts.
Sophomore Ryan Anderson moves
into the outfield after a very successful
rookie campaign at second base last sea­
son. Anderson hit .275 in his first season
at the Boro in 1996, after filling in at sec­
ond base for the injured Pat Donoghue.
“Those three players give us tremen­
dous speed and versatility in the outfield,”
said head coach John Radovich. “All of
them also possess fine hitting mechanics
and we are expecting solid seasons.”
Radovich also recruited what he
believes is a solid group of outfielders.
Freshmen Frank Koch (Pittsburgh,
PA/Shaler), Jason Ray (Pittsburgh,
PA/Penn Hills) and Chuck Diulus
(Pittsburgh, PA/Seton La Salle) all come
from outstanding high school programs
and are expected to challenge in 1997.
“Those three come from some of the
best programs in Pittsburgh,” said
Radovich. “They have made tremendous
strides in the transition to the collegiate
game, which will warrant additional innings
in the field for them this year.”
Radovich also feels that this year’s
crop of outfielders will be a major ^ctor in
the Scots’ success. “We have improved
our overall team speed in the outfield,”
said Radovich. “We have both depth and
quality at those three positions. As a
group, our outfielders are very good con­
tact hitters, and it is going to be hard for
opposing pitchers to keep them off base.”

After reaching post-season play two
straight seasons, the Edinboro baseball
team ended its 1996 campaign on a posi­
tive note, hoping the momentum will carry
over into this season.
Last year’s young and inexperienced
squad battled through a very tough sched­
ule, and while Edinboro failed to qualify for
the playoffs, the Scots’ young players
gained the experience and confidence
needed to make another post-season run.
“Last year our inexperience really
showed, especially late in games,” said
Radovich. “We led in a lot of games, that
we should have won, but fell short. I think
we have improved from last season, hope­
fully enough to challenge in the PSAC.”
This season, the Scots will again
count on the production and development
of many talented underclassmen and new­
comers to the Edinboro Baseball program.
With only two seniors on this year’s
squad, the ‘Boro is hoping to build a solid
foundation that will pave the way for future
success. Coach Radovich lists the out­
field and the pitching staff as the team’s
strength this season and is very optimistic
about the potential of this year’s team.
“This year we return a solid nucleus of
players and have brought in quality
recruits and transfers that we think will
help our program,” said Radovich. “Our
pitching staff and outfield are very deep
and talented. We should be competitive.”
The Schedule
The Scots will open up the sea^n on
March 1-2 in Buckhannon, W.V., compet­
ing against West Virginia Wesleyan.
Edinboro will also play at Davis and Elkins
(W.V.) before heading south to Ft. Myers,
Florida for a 16-game stretch over spring
break. PSAC West play opens up when
the Scots travel to California University of
Pa. on Saturday, March 29th.
In all, the ‘Boro is scheduled to play
53 games from March 1 to May 3rd.
The top two finishers in the PSAC’s
Western and Eastern Divisions will qualify
for the conference postseason tournament
in May, with the winner receiving an auto­
matic bid to the NCAA Division II National
Tournament.

6

Team Outlook Continued
Infioldors
Radovich’s infield also boasts both
quality and depth in ‘97, as many players
have the capability to play a variety of
positions. Jon Vierkorn, one of two
seniors on this season’s squad, will see
action at both the corners in addition to
spot catching duties. Vierkorn, one of the
‘Boro’s co-captains this season, will also
provide leadership to the team’s younger
players. He finished second in the confer­
ence in hitting last season with a .389 bat­
ting average. He was also selected sec­
ond-team All-PSAC West after serving in
designated hitter and third base roles.
Sophomore Brain Junker, a secondteam All-Conference selection last season
as a freshman shortstop, returns to anchor
the middle of the infield. Junker hit .339
and tied for a team-best 37 hits in 1996.
Junior Ben Saylor, the team’s most
consistent fielder the past two seasons
also will see action at a variety of posi­
tions. Freshmen Carl SeidI (Pittsburgh,
PA/Shaler) and Brendan Schulte
(Towanda, N.Y./Towanda) both possess
strong defensive skiils and could push for
a starting role in the middle of the infield.
With sophomore Mike Vidnansky out
for the season with a knee injury, Brian
Myers (Union City, PA/Mercyhurst Prep)
and Phil Tingen (Pittsburgh, PA/Penn
Hills), along with Vierkorn, will compete for
action at first base for Edinboro in 1997.
“Phil has shown tremendous defense
in the fall and-Brian has been hitting the
ball well,” said Radovich. “ I think those
two, along with Vierkorn, will all make the
first base position very competitive.”
“Again, having people agile enough to
adjust to different positions in the infield,
will allow us to be more flexible both offen­
sively and defensively.”

“Our catching staff is also experienced
and deep,” said Radovich. “They all have
decent hitting skills and strong arms. I
look for our younger catchers to push our
veterans even more this season.”
Pitching
The Scots appear to have a solid
pitching rotation to take the mound this
season. Led by senior co-captain Chris
Myers and juniors Mike Carothers and
Sean Rusko, Edinboro will have three very
experienced starters heading into the new
season. Myers, who led the Scots in wins
in 1996 with four, also had a team-best
3.81 era and 52 strikeouts.
“Chris knows what it takes to produce
at this level,” said Radovich. “He will be
our go-to-guy this season. We are count­
ing on him to set an example for our
younger players in the rotation."
Rusko, when not playing in the Scots’
outfield last season, registered a 3-3
record with a 4.84 ERA. Carothers started
last season for the first time in his colle­
giate career and will be in the rotation
again in 1997. Right-hander Jason
Newhouse, who saw action in eight
games last season, has shown improve­
ment in the off-season.
Jim Brown, another right-hander trans­
ferred from Westmoreland Co. CC. Brown
will bring two solid years of experience to
the Scots’ rotation and will provide leader­
ship to younger members of the staff.
Sophomore Rick Adsit and Ryan Woyicki,
both right-handers, have progressed in the
off-season and look for additional innings
this year. Freshmen Shawn Hayes
(Edinboro, PA/General McLane) and Brad
Kocher (Brookville, PA/Brookville) both are
expected to make significant contributions
to the Scots pitching staff in their rookie
seasons. Freshmen Bill Bendis, Jon Hunt,
Bill Irons, Craig Kaufman, Todd Piazza,
and Randy Powierza round out
Radovich’s’ pitching staff.
“Overall, our staff throws the ball will
pretty decent velocity,” said Radovich.
“We have some experienced veterans and
some promising newcomers as we enter
the season. Our staff is very deep and
will allow us to compete with any team in
our conference this season.”

Catching
Several new faces will be behind the
plate, among them junior college transfer
Josh Coakley, who joins the Scots after
playing two seasons at Penn-State
Beaver. Coakley, also who pitches, pos­
sesses a strong arm and could push for
time behind the plate. Vierkorn and fresh­
man Brendan Schulte could also see
action at catcher, when not playing infield.
