2016 LIBERTY FLAMES BASEBALL Big South Championship, May 24-28

The 2014 Big South Coach of the Year, Jim Toman has overseen the rise of the Liberty Flames baseball program to national prominence during his tenure. Toman enters his ninth year at Liberty, having posted the highest NCAA Divi-sion I winning percentage (.625) and compiled the best Big South Conference winning percentage (.668) during his fi rst eight years in Lynchburg of any head baseball coach in program history. On Feb. 26 of this year, Toman collected his 300th career victory, a 9-8 win over Marshall, to become the second coach in Liberty history to reach 300 wins. In 2014, he became the fi rst coach in school history to lead the Flames to back-to-back NCAA berths. After claiming an automatic bid by winning the 2013 Big South Championship, Toman’s 2014 team received the program’s fi rst at-large se-lection to an NCAA Regional. During his tenure, Liberty has posted the school’s three top single-season win totals in program history. The 2010 Flames set the school record with 43 wins, while Liberty posted 41-win seasons in 2012 and 2014. In addition, three of the four teams with 40-plus victory seasons all-time have been under Toman’s leader-ship. The Flames have won 35 or more games in six of his eight seasons at Liberty and have averaged 37 wins per season, the most of any head coach in program his-tory. The Flames have notched a 297-178-1 overall record during his eight seasons at Liberty and have posted a 135-67 Big South mark over the span. During his coaching career, Toman has been a part of 16 NCAA Regional teams, seven NCAA Super Regional teams and three College World Series teams. This past season, Toman’s squad posted a 33-23 overall mark and ranked as high as 24th nationally by Baseball America (Feb. 24). For the second consecutive year, a Liberty pitcher was named the Big South Pitcher of the Year as Jared Lyons was selected the conference’s top pitcher. Mean-while, Alex Close became the fi rst Liberty player to be named twice to the Capital One CoSIDA Academic All-America fi rst team. Toman’s 2014 Liberty squad garnered the program’s fi rst ever at-large selection to a NCAA Regional. In addition, the Flames, who fi nished the year at 41-18, were ranked among one of the four major baseball polls during the regular season for the fi rst time in program history, reaching as high as No. 21 in the Baseball Amer-ica weekly poll on March 21. Liberty captured the Big South regular season title with 23 Big South victories, also the most in school history and at year’s end, became the fi rst team in league history to sweep the major conference awards. Toman was an unanimous selec-tion as the conference’s Coach of the Year, while Ryan Seiz was named the Player of the Year. Trey Lambert was selected the Pitcher of the Year and also the Scholar-Athlete of the Year, while Parker Bean was voted Freshman of the Year. Nationally, Seiz became the fi rst player in Liberty history to be named to three postseason All-American teams. Meanwhile, Bean was named a Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American. In addition, Close and Lambert became the fi rst two play-ers to be named to the CoSIDA Academic All-America team. Liberty led the Big South with a 2.62 ERA, the lowest in program history, and fi nished 2014 ranked 14th nationally in the category. The Flames also topped the

conference with nine shutouts. The relief corps recorded 16 saves, tying for the second most in program history with Toman’s 2010 team. Toman lead his team to the fi rst NCAA Regional fi nal appearance in program history in 2013. The Flames captured the Big South Championship and then de-feated Clemson twice to make their fi rst appearance in a regional fi nal in the pro-gram history.
