Bobcat BitsGOLDSCHMIDT’S JERSEY RETIREDFormer Texas State Bobcat and current MLB All Star Paul Goldschmidt saw his jersey retired at Texas State’s annual baseball Lead-Off Dinner and Texas State held a formal ceremony at Texas State’s upset of No. 3 Houston on Wednesday at Bobcat Ballpark. Goldschmidt is the first baseball player ever at Texas State to havehis jersey retired and the fifth athlete across all sports at the university, joining men’s basketball players Vernon MacDonald, Jeff Foster and Lewis Gilcrease as well as women’s basketball player Linda Muelker.
WHITTER MAKING AN IMPACTSenior righty Blake Whitter is making an impact for the Bobcats in relief on the mound. The sidearm thrower has a 2.53 ERA and a save in 10.2 innings of work. With 10 strikeouts to just two walks, he is climbing the conference ranks as well. He is tied for third in the conference in batters struck out looking, appearances, games finished and games in relief. Look for him to continue to claim the roll of closer for the Bobcats as the season progresses. .
GRIST MAKES HIS RETURNAnother arm making an impact for Texas State is that of Scott Grist. He is third in the conference in innings pitched and leads Texas State in ERA (2.08), opposing batting average (.242), runs allowed (9) and earned runs allowed (6). He has 14 strikeouts on the season with at least five Ks in two of his starts.
The senior returned to the mound Saturday, Feb. 14, his first time in the weekend rotation since his junior season after taking a seat to have surgery last year. He returned on opening weekend after going 5-2 in 2013. In 2012, Grist turned in a strong ERA, finishing at just 2.08 in limited work.
In his first appearance in over a year, Grist went 7.2 innings with five strikeouts, one walk and gave up five hits and three earned runs. UC Davis only hit .192 against him as he finished the day with a 3.52 ERA.
HUMPAL ROUNDING INTO FORMLucas Humpal, the team’s expected ace coming into the season, is starting to find his form. In his last outing, he struck out 10 batters, more than doubling his season total to that point. It’s the most strikeouts by any pitcher in an outing in the Sun Belt Conference so far this season. He is the first pitcher to strike out 10 Warhawks since March 14, 2014. He only walked two batters in 8.1 innings of work. Currently, he’s second in the SBC in innings pitched, tied for third in strikeouts looking and eighth in overall strikeouts. He has 19 Ks on the season to lead the Bobcats and also leads the team in innings and wins.
UPSET NO. 3 HOUSTONTexas State pulled off an impressive upset of No. 3 Houston on Wednesday, Feb. 25, beating the Cougars, 7-6. Cory Geisler dominated Houston through four innings, then senior Blake Whitter took over in the fifth. Whitter finished the game fanning three batters in the process as he stymied the Houston bats. At the plate and around the bases, the Bobcats were aggressive using a combination of hit-and-runs, sacrifice bunts, squeeze bunts and more. Texas State scored two runs in the third inning for an early lead on Houston, then pushed it to a 6-0 lead with four runs in the fourth. The Cougars stormed back in the fifth with five runs, but the Bobcats held them off with a run in the sixth and strong defense and pitching from Whitter to close out the game.

STUDDARD, OTHERS HAD STRONG SUMMERSGranger Studdard burst onto the scene last season, leading the Bobcats in home runs with six and winning three games with walk-off hits for Texas State. After an All Star season for the Santa Barbara Foresters in the California Colliegiate League, Studdard is poised to be even better in 2015.
Other Bobcats who put together strong seasons in the summer leagues throughout the country include Andrew Boes for the Neptune Beach Pearl in the California Collegiate League, Justin Dellinger for the Anchorage Glacier Pilots in the Alaska Baseball League, David Paiz for the Victoria Generals in the Texas Collegiate League and Tanner Hill, also for the Generals.
NEWCOMERS PLAY A ROLEThis season, Texas State welcomes 18 newcomers, many of which will have the opportunity to see playing time. In fact, 11 brand new Bobcats have already started a game this season. In addition to senior transfer Cedric Vallieres and redshirt freshman Zach Sullivan, freshmen Jaylen Hubbard, Jared Huber, Derek Scheible, Luke Sherley, Theodore Hoffman, Dylan Paul and Mickey Scott have started. Hoffman already knocked a home run. Vallieres also has two home runs and five RBI. Continue to watch throughout the season to get to know the latest additions to the Bobcat squad.
HOT BAT FOR PAIZSenior third baseman David Paiz has been on fire from the plate for the Bobcats. He is first on the team in RBI with 11 while no other Bobcat has more than Colby Targun’s seven. With five doubles in the young season, he is tied for fourth in the Sun Belt Conference and tied for 10th in RBI. He leads Texas State in hits (18), RBI, doubles, triples, total bases (25) and average against lefties (.467).
BOUNCE BACK FOR LOVEJOYAfter a sophomore season that finished as an All-Conference selection in the Western Athletic Conference, Cody Lovejoy struggled in his junior year, finishing .151 at the plate with 16 hits, 16 runs, four doubles and 10 RBI. This year, however, Lovejoy is back to his old form, leading the team in batting average in 12 games played so far with 14 hits, just two less than he had all last season. With six walks, Lovejoy has put together an on-base percentage of .377, fourth on the team. Once he gets on base, he has been dangerous too, as he is tied for second on the team in runs scored with six in the young season. He also has three stolen bases.

HEAD COACH16TH SEASONTEXAS, 1989512-388-1
TY HARRINGTON 5
Since taking over the baseball program in 2000, Head Coach Ty Harrington has built Texas State into an annual contender both regionally and on the national stage. The 2011 and 2009 Southland Conference Coach of the Year, Harrington has won at least 29 games while posting a winning record in conference play during each of his 15 seasons at the helm of the Bobcats. The winningest coach in Texas State baseball history, Harrington led the Bobcats to back-to-back-to-back Southland Conference championships (2009, 2010, 2011), three NCAA Regional Tournament appearances (2000, 2009, 2011) and a program record for most wins in a season in 2009 that the team again tied in 2011.
Entering his 16th season at Texas State, Harrington sports a 507-378 all-time record, including a 276-160 record during conference play. He has helped produce 74 all-conference selections, and 39 of Harrington’s players have been chosen in the Major League Baseball Draft, including four in 2014 headlined by pitcher Austen Williams in the sixth round.
In 2014, Harrington earned a milestone 500th victory against Baylor on April 24, 2014. The Bobcats had a good start to the season, winning nine of their first 11 games including a seven-game winning streak. In a double-elimination conference tournament, Texas State also challenged eventual champion UL Lafayette in a thrilling 4-3 game.
The Bobcats had a tough start to 2013, but Harrington pulled the team together to finish strong en route to a second place finish in the conference. In a rare occurence, the Bobcats won their final game of postseason play but due to an unusual round robin tournament in the Western Athletic Conference, Texas State’s season came to a close.
Harrington’s Bobcats did, however, beat regular season champion CSU Bakersfield along with tournament champion UTSA. The Bobcat pitching staff was so strong in 2013 that Texas State saw two contributors drafted in the Major League Baseball Draft. Starter Kyle Finnegan went in the sixth round to the Oakland Athletics while lefty reliever Donnie Hart went to the Baltimore Orioles in the 27th round after breaking a Texas State record for most appearances in a season with 41 and a team high 2.13 ERA. Hart did not give up a run until his 11th appearance and not an earned run until his 26th.
In 2012, The Bobcats began the season strong with a 14-6 record through the team’s first 20 games, the second best 20-game start to a season since Harrington took over in 2000. The start helped catapult Texas State up to No. 20 in the Baseball America rankings, the highest since the program began in 1985, and No. 30 in the Collegiate Baseball poll.
Partially responsible for the strong start was the Bobcat pitching staff, which set program records and made a run at a longtime NCAA record. Texas State hurlers did not allow a run over 57 2/3 consecutive innings, a streak spanning seven games from Feb. 25 to March 6. The Bobcats set the team record for scoreless innings and consecutive shutouts (5) and came up just 6 1/3 innings shy of the NCAA record of 64 consecutive scoreless innings set in 1972 by Arizona State. The streak a win against No. 18 TCU, a series sweep of Notre Dame and a victory over No. 4 Rice.
The Bobcats’ win over No. 4 Rice was one of six wins the team had against ranked opponents during the season. Texas State also defeated preseason No. 37-ranked Wichita State along with No. 18/No. 19 TCU twice and No. 16 Oregon twice.
Harrington led the Bobcats to a 41-23 record in 2011 as the team captured both Southland regular season and tournament crowns for the first time in program history. Harrington’s squad tied the
program record for wins in a season and qualified for the NCAA Regionals for the third time under his direction. Along the way, Harrington reached the 400-win mark with a 16-2 victory midway through the season against Northwestern State.
A Texas State-record five players were drafted from the Bobcats’ 2011 squad, including Kyle Kubitza who went to the Atlanta Braves in the third round, the third highest selection in Texas State history.
Harrington led the Bobcats to a 38-22 record and 23-10 mark in the SLC in 2010 as the team captured its second consecutive conference regular season title. Carson Smith was named the SLC Pitcher of the Year and Newcomer of the Year while being one of six Bobcats to earned all-Southland Conference accolades.
In 2009, Harrington led the Bobcats to a 41-17 overall season, marking the most wins in a single-season for the baseball program at that time. Texas State finished 21-7 against Southland Conference opponents, en route to their first-ever SLC regular season championship. Harrington garnered the 2009 SLC Coach of the Year honors after the successful run as Texas State received an at-large bid to the NCAA Regional Championship Tournament. The first-ever at-large bid for the baseball program, the Bobcats earned the No. 2 seed in the region to compete in Austin with Texas, Army and Boston College.
Harrington not only produced a successful team, but the success of his individual players was unprecedented in 2009 as well. Kane Holbrooks, Paul Goldschmidt and Tyler Sibley became the first-ever all-Americans for the Texas State baseball program. Holbrooks and Goldschmidt earned three all-America honors, while Sibley was named to the Louisville Slugger Freshman All-American team. Seven Bobcats were named All-Southland Conference, as Goldschmidt was named Southland Conference Player of the Year, Hitter of the Year and Student-Athlete of the Year. Holbrooks was named the SLC Pitcher of the Year and Keith Prestridge earned SLC Newcomer of the Year honors.
In 2007, Harrington coached his squad to a 37-23 record, a then-best mark of his career. Texas State opened the season with an 8-3 win over Oklahoma

and returned to Bobcat Field for a 3-2 upset of No. 1 Rice in front of a record crowd.
In 2006, Texas State defeated three teams that made appearances in the 2005 College World Series (Texas, Nebraska and Baylor), and Texas State’s final victory of the season over Lamar marked Harrington’s 200th win of his career. The win made Harrington one of just two coaches with 200-or-more wins as the Bobcats’ skipper. Harrington reached the milestone in his sixth season, one year sooner than former Texas State head coach Steve Prentice who earned his 200th victory in the fifth game of his seventh season as Bobcats’ coach.
In 2004, Texas State defeated No. 16 Texas A&M during the regular season and played 14 games against ranked opponents, finishing with a 32-26 overall mark and a 16-10 record in the Southland Conference.
The 2003 campaign was a successful one, as the Bobcats finished second overall in the league standings, just one game behind regular season champion Lamar. Texas State posted a 30-28 overall record and a 19-7 Southland Conference mark as the team earned wins over defending national champion Texas and preseason top-25 selection, Baylor.
In 2002, Harrington led the Bobcats to a 36-24 record, the second most wins at the time posted in a season by a Texas State baseball team in 17 years. His club collected 10 wins against nationally-ranked teams, including a 2-0 shutout in Austin against the eventual national champion Texas Longhorns.
Prior to taking command of Texas State’s baseball program, Harrington served as the head coach at Blinn Junior College in Brenham, Texas in 1999. In his one season with the Buccaneers, Harrington guided them to a 36-22 record and advanced to the Region XIV NJCAA Championship. From 1995-98, Harrington served as the head coach at Northeast Texas Community College in Mount Pleasant, Texas.
In his first season, the Eagles finished with a 37-12 record, and in 1996, Harrington led the team to a 48-18 overall record while capturing the NJCAA National Championship. Along with the championship title, Harrington received NJCAA Coach of the Year honors.
In his four years at the helm of the Northeast Texas CC program, Harrington recorded a .705 winning percentage, winning 165 of 234 games. While at NTCC, Harrington also assisted in the development of an academic accountability system that resulted in a team grade point average higher than 3.00 for three consecutive years.
Harrington began his coaching career at the University of Texas, where he served as a student coach and graduate assistant coach from 1988-1991. He
then moved to Jonesboro, Arkansas as an assistant coach at Arkansas State. Harrington helped the Indians establish several school records, including most wins in a single season. In 1994, Arkansas State won the Sun Belt Conference Championship and made an appearance in the NCAA Regional Tournament.
During his playing days, Harrington was a two-year letterman at the University of Texas where he played in the Longhorn infield under collegiate coaching legend Cliff Gustafson. Harrington was a member of Texas teams that advanced to the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska in 1984, 1985 and 1987. He also served as team captain on the 1987 Longhorn squad.
Harrington is married to the former Leila Baggett. The couple resides in San Marcos with their three daughters: Melaine, Emma and Alle.
