OPENING WEEKEND• After playing their final eight games of the 2017 season on their home field, the Dirt-bags will pick back up where they left off, hosting Saint Mary’s at Blair Field for opening weekend. • Long Beach State is 8-3 in the all-time series with the Gaels, including a 7-0 record since 1989. These teams last met for a three-game series in 2005.

SCOUTING THE GAELS• After winning 37 games last season, Saint Mary’s looks to be in line for another suc-cessful season in the West Coast Conference. The Gaels were picked to finish third in the conference in 2018, receiving one first-place vote.• The Gaels return 21 letterwinners from a season ago, including eight starting position players. They’re led by All-American infielder/pitcher Kevin Milam, who was the WCC Freshman of the Year in 2017. He hit .313 with 12 home runs as a freshman and was also the team’s closer, recording nine saves in 22 appearances with a 2.27 ERA.

PROBABLE STARTERS

POS. PLAYER NOTESC Chris Jimenez Talented freshman will see increased playing time with Cole Joy’s injury

1B Garrett Nelson Has played primarily in OF but also able to play 1B. Power bat.

2B Jarren Duran Great speed and baserunning ability. 2nd Team All-Big West in 2017.

3B Domenic Colacchio Versatile utility player has primarily been used in the OF.

SS Laine Huffman Senior was an honorable mention All-BIg West pick & 25th Rd. draft pick

LF Tristan Mercadel Fifth-year senior with plenty of experience in the OF.

CF Clayton Andrews JUCO transfer is a terrific defensive outfielder. Will also pitch.

RF Brooks Stotler Led CF rotation in 2017 and will look to step into larger role as a junior

DH Luke Rasmussen Four-year starter is a solid source of OBP and RBIs.

LOOK WHO’S BACK• While the Dirtbags lost seven players to the MLB Draft during the offseason, there’s still plenty of talent back on campus. Senior SS Laine Huffman decided to forego an opportunity at pro ball and return to Long Beach State, where he will join forces with junior 2B Jarren Duran to form a strong, experienced middle infield. Huffman was an honorable mention All-Big West selection while Duran was on the second team.• Also back in the lineup will be DH Luke Rasmussen, who is set to be a four-year starter for the Dirtbags as a middle-of-the-order bat. Other upperclassmen looking to transi-tion from role player to starter are OF Brooks Stotler, INF/OF Domenic Colacchio, 1B/OF Garrett Nelson, OF Tristan Mercadel and others.• Junior closer Chris Rivera was a second team All-Big West selection in 2017 and starts this year as an NCBWA Third Team Preseason All-American. He posted 13 saves for the second consecutive season and had a 2.60 ERA, striking out 47 batters in 34.2 innings. • With last year’s weekend rotation either playing professionally (All-Americans Dar-ren McCaughan and Dave Smith) or out for the year with injury (John Sheaks), there are some questions on the mound. However, key relievers Zak Baayoun and Eli Villalobos look to step into new roles in their second year in the program. Once healthy, redshirt junior Tyler Radcliffe should factor in as a starter as well.

BOHL DIAMOND AT BLAIR FIELD• Long Beach State received a multi-million dollar donation during the offseason from longtime supporter Marilyn Bohl. In recognition of her generous gift, , the Dirtbags’ home field has been renamed Bohl Diamond at Blair Field.• Bohl has been actively involved in supporting the Blair Field renovation project for years, and previously gave a one million dollar gift to help kick off the initial phase of the renovations prior to the 2016 season.• So far, the renovation efforts have included a new outfield fence, the Troy & Danyll Tulowitzki Batting Facility, the Jered Weaver Bullpen, and improvements to the Dirtbags locker room. Future plans include new stadium lighting, improved field drainage, a new multi-purpose team room along the left field line, plus restroom and seating upgrades.

LB IN MLB• For the eighth consecutive year, Long Beach State had more players in the major leagues than any other college or university. There were 15 former Dirtbags who played in the major leagues in 2017 and the all-time total for Long Beach State is 48 big league representatives.• There were two former Dirtbags who made their MLB debuts in 2017. First, it was RHP Shane Carle who appeared for the Colorado Rockies on April 14. Later in the season, C Mike Marjama made his debut with the Seattle Mariners on September 3.• Kansas City Royals lefthander Jason Vargas made his first All-Star Game appearance during the 2017 season. The Dirtbags will be giving away commemorative Vargas bobbleheads prior at the UC Irvine game on April 7.

2017 GAME BY GAME RESULTS



One of the most respected pitching coaches in the na-tion, Troy Buckley enters his eighth season as the head coach of Long Beach State in 2018. In his first seven seasons, Buckley has led the Dirtbags to a winning record in every season, three NCAA Regional appearances in 2014, 2016 and 2017, plus an NCAA Super Regional

appearance during the 2017 season.

Buckley won Big West Coach of the Year honors in 2017 after leading Long Beach State to a ninth Big West Conference title. The Dirtbags dominated the conference, winning all eight series and finishing with a 20-4 record. LBSU would be selected as hosts of an NCAA Regional for the first time since 2008, and won the Long Beach Regional over Texas, UCLA and San Diego State. The Dirtbags then had hosting rights for the NCAA Super Regional against rivals Cal State Fullerton. It was LBSU’s third Super Regional appearance, and the first since hosting in 2004.

Buckley earned his 200th career win during the 2017 season with a 3-1 win at Cal, becoming the fourth consecutive Dirtbags head coach to reach that mark in his career. The Dirtbags finished the season at 42-20-1, posting the most wins in a season since 1998. A total of 11 players received All-Big West recognition, including Pitcher of the Year (Darren McCaughan) and Defensive Player of the Year (David Banuelos). Eight players from the 2017 team would go on to be selected in the MLB Draft.

The Dirtbags also had a successful season in 2016, reaching a national ranking of No. 17 in the country. Long Beach State went 38-22, including a nine-game winning streak, to register the most wins in a season since 2008 and finish second in the Big West Confer-ence. LBSU received an at-large postseason bid, and played in the Coral Gables Regional hosted by Miami (FL). The Dirtbags went 2-2, collecting two dominant wins over Florida Atlantic while suffering a pair of heartbreaking one-run losses to the host Hurricanes.

In 2014, Buckley’s Dirtbags posted a 34-26 overall record, earning an at-large berth into the NCAA Tournament. There they advanced to the regional final, beating North Carolina twice to reach the final game. Buckley’s squad featured the Big West Fresh-man Player of the Year in Garrett Hampson and six All-Big West selections.

Taking the helm after two disappointing campaigns where the Dirtbags finished lower than fourth in the Big West for the first time since 1989, Buckley took command of a team that had lost its five top hitters and its strikeouts leader from the year before.

Under Buckley’s leadership, the squad lowered its team ERA by nearly a full point to 3.55 from 4.67, and he led the team to a 29-27 finish against the nation’s third-toughest schedule, just missing a berth in the NCAA Tournament.

That improvement continued in 2012, as the Dirtbags again lowered their team ERA, this time from 3.55 to a Big West best 3.08. Finishing above .500 for the second straight year under Buckley, the team was one game away from clinching the Big West championship, and finished with eight players receiving All-Big West honors.

Buckley stepped up as the head coach for Long Beach State after he had made his return as the team’s associate head coach for the 2010 season. That move was on the heels of spending two years as the Minor League Pitching Coordinator with the

HEAD COACH TROY BUCKLEY

Pirates. In that position, Buckley oversaw the overall development of every arm in the Pirates farm sys-tem, and also worked in conjunction with the Major League ballclub over spring training development and through the season regarding player move-ment.

That opportunity came on the heels of the tremen-dous success that Long Beach State’s players have had both at the collegiate and professional levels. Since Buckley came to Long Beach State in 2001, the Dirtbags have earned seven Big West Pitcher of the Year awards, and in 2004, Jered Weaver was named the National Player of the Year after posting a 15-1 record with 213 strikeouts and a 1.62 ERA.

Abe Alvarez, Jered Weaver, Jason Vargas, Cesar Ra-mos, Andrew Carpenter, Brian Shaw, Andrew Liebel, and Vance Worley were all drafted in the first three rounds of the MLB draft after developing their craft under Buckley, and all but Liebel have reached the Major Leagues. Buckley was also instrumental in the recruiting of fellow major leaguers Troy Tulowitzki and the 2008 American League Rookie of the Year, Evan Longoria. Most recently, Jake Thompson (2nd, 2009) and Andrew Gagnon (3rd, 2010) were selected in the top three rounds and are working through the minor leagues.

After his first season at Long Beach State as an as-sistant coach, the Dirtbags never ranked lower than 28th nationally in team ERA, and ranked in the top five nationally three times. In 2002, the Dirtbags ranked fifth nationally with a 2.99 team ERA as Alva-rez was named the Big West Pitcher of the Year, and the next year, Weaver joined Alvarez as co-pitchers of the year as Long Beach State reached the Super Regionals with a 39-21 record. Weaver led the staff in 2004 to a 3.11 ERA, fourth-best in the country as the Dirtbags again reached the Super Regionals.

Following the departure of Weaver, rather than suffering a decline, the Dirtbags posted a record ERA in 2005 under Buckley, leading the nation with a 2.53 mark, and posted a team ERA in 3.64 in 2006 and 3.59 in 2007, the latter being the 16th best in Division I.

Buckley previously served three years at his alma mater, Santa Clara, as an assistant coach. From 1998 to 2000, Buckley was the Broncos’ hitting coach, pitching consultant and recruiting coordinator.

Prior to his work with the Broncos, Buckley was a coach in the Montreal Expos organization from 1996 to 1997. In 1996, he served as the hitting and third base coach for AA Ottawa and in 1997 he was

the pitching coach for the Gulf Coast League rookie league Expos in West Palm Beach, Fla.

Buckley was a ninth-round draft pick of the Min-nesota Twins in 1989. He spent three years in the Twins organization, including the 1991 season with AAA Portland. In 1993 and 1994, Buckley was a member of the Reds’ AA Chattanooga team before moving to the Expos AA affiliate in Harrisburg in 1995.

Regarded as one of the greatest catchers in Santa Clara history, Buckley was the 1988 WCC Player of the Year and was a second-team All-American after batting .442 with 82 RBIs. Both marks set single-season records. Buckley drove in a school-record 188 runs and also entered himself among the Broncos’ all-time greats in batting average (.364), hits (234), doubles (47), home runs (35), total bases (390), extra-base hits (84), and slugging percentage (.606).
