Head Coach John Radovich

Head Coach John Radovich

Fighting Scot head baseball coach John
Radovich returns for his 11th season at Edinboro
University. Radovich has guided the Scots to the
post-season two of the past four seasons and in
1994, became the first head coach since 1971 to
lead Edinboro to the Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference crown. The 1994 squad, which was
ranked as high as 16th in NCAA Division II, also
advanced to the Division II National Tournament
for the first time in school historyand hosted 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 in 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.
Radovich owns an overall record of 205-260 with the Fighting Scots, and
is a combined 349-314 at the Community College of Allegheny-South
Campus (CCAC), in Pittsburgh, and Edinboro University.
Radovich began his coaching career at his Alma Mater, Pittsburgh’s
Central Catholic as an assistant. In 1979, his Viking squad earned a berth in
the PIAA finals, finishing third in the state.
Radovich posted a 144-63 record in five seasons at CCAC-South, win­
ning the Western Pennsylvania Collegiate Conference Championship in 1984
and 1986, and capturing the state junior college title in 1984. His 1983 and
1985 teams won sectional championships at CCAC. Additionally, Radovich
coached in the Keystone State Games for four seasons, with his teams cap­
turing three gold and one silver medal.
Upon arriving at Edinboro in 1987, Radovich orchestrated major renova­
tions to the baseball complex that now make it one of the top facilities in the
Tri-State area.

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 Edinboro alltime best 17-3 conference record in 1994, Radovich was named as the PSAC
“Coach of the Year.”
The improvement of facilities, and the commitment towards the program,
have led to the right attitude for Edinboro Baseball. That attitude can be
attributed to the intelligence, personality and effort of John Radovich.

This team has been a real pleasure to coach. They have
worked extremely hard and have very good chemistry and
work ethic. I think we can be very successful because of
this attitude. The players are hungry and excited to get
going. We can accomplish some great things

Assistant Coach Butch Kemling
Butch Kemling enters his second season as
an assistant coach in the Fighting Scot program.
With his many years of baseball experience,
Kemling brings great knowledge to the Scot pro­
gram and is a major asset to the program.
He previously served as the head baseball
coach at nearby Northwestern High School for
eight years building the program into a top com­
petitor in the Erie County League, with District X
playoff appearances in 1994 and 95. In 1996,
Kemling served as the baseball coach at Girard
High School.
“Butch has been a tremendous help to me
personally, and to our players,” notes head coach
John Radovich. “He has helped the development and refining of the players’
individual talents. Butch is a great role model for the team; his contributions
are very much appreciated by everyone in the Edinboro program.”

Fighting Scots In The Pros

1998 Edinboro Basoball Roster

Since the arrival of John Radovich, 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.
Edinboro baseball is currently resresented in the Cinncinati
Reds, Philadelphia Phillies, and Texas Rangers organizations.
Right-handed pitcher Pete Nyari (Erie, PA) was selected in
the 17th round of the 1994 draft by the Philadelphia Phillies.
Nyari, has filled the closer role in the bullpen during his first four
seasons of professional ball, and will begin 1998 in Clearwater,
Florida, home the Class A affiliate for the
Phillies. In 1997, Nyari saw action in 31
Pete Nyari
relief appearances, earning five saves with a
2.70 ERA. Nyari shares the Edinboro school record for strike­
outs in a season with 73, accomplishing that in just two years at
the Boro.
In 1995, two right-handed pitchers were taken in the June
draft as hurlers Mark Corey (Austin, PA) and Tim Codd (North
Tonowanda, NY) both signed with professional organizations.
Corey, selected by the Cincinnati Reds in the fourth round,
was the highest draft choice in Fighting Scot history. After two
injury-plagued seasons with the Reds’ Princeton (Ciass A) affili­
Mark Corey
ate, Corey has recovered from arm and shoulder injuries and wiil
return to the diamond with the Charleston
Alleycats. Pitching in 26 starts last season, Corey held a 4.57
ERA through 136 innings while striking out 97. Corey shares the
single-season strikeout record with Nyari, and holds the Scots’
career record for wins (17). Corey also held the records for com­
plete games (14) and strikeouts (154) when he graduated.
“Mark has a great arm and a great future with our organization,’’
offered Charles Henderson of the Reds organization. “He
received votes to be a member of the league’s All-Star game
after only pitching four games as a rookie... that is very rare.”
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
Tim Codd
injuries in 1996. Codd recorded 11 wins in four years with the Boro

program.
Two other former Fighting Scots also played professional baseball. In 1993, first
baseman Brad Aurila (Coraopolis, PA) was chosen in the 38th round by the Montreal
Expos. Aurila holds various career hitting and fielding records for the Fighting Scots,
including most at bats (561), games (179) and putouts (1,099).
In 1988, left-handed pitcher Tom Matthews (Pittsburgh, PA) became the first player
under Radovich to be drafted when he was selected by the Los Angeles Dodgers in
the Nth round. In his only season at Edinboro, Matthews compiled a 4-5 record before
joining the Dodgers organization after his junior year.
“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 players themselves, but the caliber
of competition that these players have been exposed to while at Edinboro University.”

Scots Shooting for Anothor Post-Soason Borth
The Edinboro University of Pennsylvania
Fighting Scot baseball team looks to
become contenders in the Pennsylvania
State Athletic Conference race once again
in 1998.
After setting a conference record with a
17-3 PSAC mark in 1994, and appearing in
the national rankings in 1995, the Scots are
hoping the experience this year's squad
gained last year will pay dividends.
With most of last year's team returning
this season, Radovich feels that there will
be great success and team unity. "We had
a lot of bad breaks and injuries last years,
and came up short in a lot of close games,"
commented Edinboro head coach John
Radovich. "But rather than getting demor­
alized, our guys kept working hard. This is
a special group of players. At this level,
chemistry is often the deciding factor in
success or failure and I can see that win­
ning attitude in their eyes. We are really
looking fonA/ard to this year."

average.
Junior Chris Winters hopes to rebound
after an injury a year ago. Winters was the
PSAC Rookie of the Year in 1996. As a
freshman he hit .387 and has only been
caught stealing one time in two seasons,
swiping 15 of 16 bases.
Junior Ryan Anderson and sophomores
Jason Ray and Frank Koch, ail had solid
seasons for the Scots last year. Anderson
bounced between left field and second
base and is looking for a breakout type
year. Ray enjoyed a solid freshman cam­
paign, leading the freshman class in hitting
with a batting average of .311. Koch pos­
sesses good all-around skills, offensively
and defensively, and according to
Radovich, has one of the best natural
swings on the team.
Sophomore Mike Vidnansky, who redshirted last season due to knee surgery,
looks to get his bat back into the lineup.
Vidnansky should spend some time work­
ing at first base and in the outfield. His
freshman season, Vidnansky was in the
heart of the Scots' batting order, leading
the team in extra base hits (14) with a .289
batting average. Vidnansky has worked
hard to regain his form and will see time in
the designated hitter position.
Two newcomers will compete for time in
the Scots outfield. Freshman Shaun
Mosberger, a transfer from Marietta
Coliege, had a tremendous career at Moon
Township High School and was a leading
hitter in the WPIAL. He is a complete play­
er who could pay immediate dividends.
Freshman Brad McCleiland, who has
played football at Edinboro the past two
seasons, will join the baseball squad this
Spring. McClelland had success in high
school and in American Legion baseball in
Uniontown, PA. How quickly he catches on
will determine his impact this year.

The Schedule
The Scots are scheduled to play five
games in West Virginia before heading
south to Ft. Myers, FL, for a 12-game
stretch over spring break. Edinboro will
open Pennsylvania State Athletic
Conference Pennsylvania action on
Saturday March 28, hosting Slippery Rock
University of. In all, the Boro is scheduled
to play 49 games from March 7 to May 2.
The top two finishers in the PSAC
Western and Eastern Divisions will qualify
for the conference championship tourna­
ment in May, hoping to receive a bid to the
NCAA Division II National Tournament.
Outfielders
This is without a doubt the deepest and
most talented group of outfielders Radovich
has coached in his 11 years at Edinboro. It
will be extremely competitive with nine
players vying for playing time.
Senior Sean Rusko, a PSAC all-confer­
ence selection last year, will be looked to
for senior leadership and to heip anchor the
outfield. Rusko hit .366 last year and led
the team in stolen bases, swiping seven
bases in seven attempts. Also a pitcher,
Rusko appeared in six games last season,
with one complete game performance in
route to a 0-4 record and a 6.40 earned run

Infielders
A pair of sophomores will battle for play­
ing time at first base for the Boro. Phil
Tingen, who was a starter last year, and
newcomer Jason Blank, a transfer from
Community College of Allegheny County.
Tingen is a great defensive player and is
looking to improve his offensive output.
Biank is a powerfui hitter with good defen­
sive skills. He will provide quality and
6

depth at the position. Along with
Vidnansky, the Scots are solid at first base.
At second base, Andy Galvan, a junior
college transfer from Penn State Beaver,
had a solid fall season for the Boro and
shows good all-around defensive skills as
well as being a consistent hitter. Joe Irons,
a freshman, will challenge Galvin and
Anderson for playing time. Irons has good
fundamental skills for the middle of the dia­
mond and shows steady improvement on
the offensive side.
Junior Brian Junker, first-team North
Atlantic All-Region pick from a year ago,
returns at shortstop. Junker led the Scots
in seven offensive categories including bat­
ting average (.396), hits (59), runs (38),
runs batted in (42). His .644 slugging per­
centage and 21 extra-base hits were also
team-bests. Junker enters the '98 season
stronger and faster after off-season condi­
tioning. A team captain and will be counted
on heavily for team leadership. The Scots
have added Mike Doppelheuer to the ros­
ter. Doppelheuer has good range to go
along with a strong arm. He has quick
hands and shows power with his bat.
Senior Ben Saylor, who is a team cap­
tain, will be the anchor at third base this
Spring. A very consistent player throughout
his career, he made significant strides this
past Fall with his hitting and Radovich
looks for him to put up big numbers this
season. Behind Saylor are sophomores
Brendan Schulte, who also catches and
pitches, and Anderson who played a num­
ber of games at third last season.

giate baseball. McCollum possesses a
strong arm and quick release, and
Radovich expects him to develop into a
solid catcher for the program.
Sophomore Brendan Schulte returns
after a successful season in which he
showed good skills behind the plate, and
earned more playing time throughout the
season while hitting a respectable .271. A
versatile player with ability to play infield
and pitch, it will be tough to keep him off
the field. Schulte continues to develop and
was the most improved player for the Scots
during the Fall season.
With these four players and extra help
from Galvan, who will catch in addition to
his second base duties, this position
appears to be very deep and talented.
Pitching
Three senior hurlers, Jim Brown, Sean
Rusko and Josh Coakley will be counted
on to guide the Scots' pitching efforts.
Although the trio provided some quality
performances last year, they are looking to
rebound from injuries that kept them from
pitching at one-hundred percent.
The Boro staff is loaded with seven
talented sophomores including Bill Bendis,
Shaun Hayes, and Brad Kocher who all
possess the tools needed to succeed in
collegiate baseball.
Sophomores Craig Kaufman, and Randy
Powierza both followed similar pitching pro­
grams this past Fall and showed significant
improvement with command and velocity.
Bill Irons, another sophomore, has probably
shown the most dramatic improvement,
and looks ready to make solid contributions
to the club.
Finally, sophomore Brendan Schulte has
been working hard on his pitching and
looked good in his outings last Fall.
As a class, they combined for a 7-15
record during their freshman campaign.
The staff also welcomes the arrival of
Mike Evans. The left-hander showed poise
and command of his pitches this fall and
proved he could throw strikes. He has the
potential to be outstanding.
Junker should see some relief work for
the Scots, possibly in a closer role, despite
not seeing any action on the mound since
his freshman year. In 1996, Junker went 11 and saw time in nine games for the Boro.

Catching
The catching corps is a solid, versatile
group with the talents to provide quality
play behind the plate. Senior Josh Coakley
returns for the Scots after hitting .285 last
year despite a bad shoulder. A powerful
hitter, he provides the toughness needed at
the position.
Sophomore James Kunkle hit a solid
.302 his inaugural season and has shown
steady improvement defensively. He has a
good grasp of the game, and with a year of
experience under his belt, should see
increased action this season.
Freshman Hethe McCollum, a highlytouted player from Waynesburg, PA, joins
the Scots for his first season of intercolle­
