message from our ATHLETIC DIRECTOR<br />

As we approach the <strong>2010</strong> spring baseball season, we<br />

are reminded of the rich tradition and history of Panther<br />

Baseball. The history in baseball at <strong>Greenville</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />

has been filled with success on the field as well as off the field. Many<br />

lessons have been learned through baseball that have impacted<br />

students’ lives for eternity. For that reason alone we are thankful for<br />

Dr. Doug Faulkner<br />

the significant role our baseball program has played in students’ lives.<br />

As we remember the history, we also look forward to the future<br />

and great things ahead for the tool of baseball to be used in the<br />

development of young men. Our head coach, Lynn Carlson,<br />

gives us many reasons to be optimistic about the 65 th season of<br />

Panther Baseball and beyond. We hope you will enjoy watching<br />

and supporting Panther Baseball as it strives to fulfill the Mission of<br />

<strong>Greenville</strong> <strong>College</strong> on and off the field.<br />

spring <strong>2010</strong> SEASON OUTLOOK<br />

The <strong>2010</strong> <strong>Greenville</strong> <strong>College</strong> Panther<br />

Baseball team will have a very<br />

different look to them. After losing<br />

7 players to graduation including<br />

5 starters, the Panthers have no<br />

choice but to turn the page. Fortunately, the<br />

recruiting class for the fall of 2009 mixed with the<br />

development of some younger players should<br />

combine with the returning core to produce a<br />

capable team for <strong>2010</strong>.<br />

The biggest losses for the Panthers will be starters<br />

Mike Scott, Zach Miller, Brian Stoff offensively<br />

as well as Andy Rincker on the mound. Along<br />

with that could be the loss of Bryan Hobbie, who<br />

was a 2nd team all-conference outfielder last<br />

season. There is an outside chance, because of<br />

remaining eligibility, he may return to the Panthers<br />

for one more season. Other graduated seniors<br />

who were big contributors were Heath Erwin on<br />

the mound and Carter Burford behind the plate.<br />

All of them leave big shoes to fill. In addition to<br />

the senior departures, the Panthers also lose<br />

starting shortstop, Ross Cook, and third baseman,<br />

Mike O’Hara who are both concentrating on their<br />

academics. That leaves no less than 5 positions<br />

on the field that will be assumed by new starters<br />

this spring.<br />

The Panthers return a core of good players that<br />

should help solidify the team on both offense and<br />

defense. Returning at 2nd base will be Honorable<br />

Mention All-Conference player, junior Kyle Hobar<br />

(.320 avg, 9 sb). Also returning will be senior<br />

backstop Brian Deadmond, (.328 avg.), who led<br />

the conference in throwing out base-stealers last<br />

spring. The biggest boost for the Panthers this<br />

spring on offense will come from 5th year senior,<br />

Stefan Neece, who is coming off Tommy John<br />

Surgery and a medical redshirt season. Stefan is<br />

a 3-time All-Conference player for the Panthers<br />

and an experienced 1st baseman. He currently<br />

ranks in the top 10 career statistics in Home Runs,<br />

Doubles, Hits, RBI’s, Total Bases, Batting Average,<br />

and Walks for the Panthers.<br />

Joining the trio of returning starters will be several<br />

Panthers who made significant contributions last<br />

season in more limited roles. Returning junior<br />

Justin Hubbard hit .345 in 20 starts at 3rd base<br />

and designated hitter. Also a junior, Daniel Covert<br />

hit .306 while playing the outfield and designated<br />

hitter. Other returning hitters who will be counted<br />

on for offense this spring will be junior Wes Letizia,<br />

and sophomore Ryan Siddle.<br />

The returning pitchers for the Panthers include<br />

several starters and others who will contribute out<br />

4<br />

of the bullpen. Matt Leefers is a 4-year starter<br />

for the Panthers and has dominated opponents<br />

at times. We look for more consistency from<br />

Matt this season. Eric Heiden played a big role<br />

on the staff last spring with several quality spotstarts<br />

against some of the best opponents on the<br />

schedule. Daniel Covert showed<br />

some continued<br />

growth during his<br />

sophomore campaign finishing 2nd in the<br />

team in wins and 3rd in strikeouts. Both<br />

Eric and Daniel will have a chance to start<br />

some games this spring. Out of the bullpen, two<br />

returners will help to keep the Panthers in games<br />

and nail down victories. Justin Hubbard and Wes<br />

Letizia continue their development and both have<br />

the pitches to dominate in relief.<br />

The class of new players for the Panthers should<br />

have several legitimate contributors in the group.<br />

Beginning on the mound, the Panthers have a<br />

group of 7 new pitchers that should be able to<br />

replace the pitchers that graduated last spring<br />

and add quality arms to our pitching staff. Junior<br />

David Massengill is a transfer student from<br />

Lakeland <strong>College</strong>. He is from Neoga, Illinois and<br />

should contribute both in the outfield and on the<br />

mound as well. Also joining the team this spring<br />

is sophomore Derrick Hudnut, who spent last<br />

spring getting himself eligible for this year after<br />

transferring in from Southwestern Illinois <strong>College</strong><br />

in Belleville. Several freshman will compete for<br />

innings on the mound as well. Kye Winter has<br />

the potential to start ballgames as well as Derek<br />

Reckmann. Also competing for innings will be<br />

Cole Lawson, Kyle Boldt, and Scott Voyles. Each<br />

of them has the potential to be valuable members<br />

of the pitching staff.<br />

With 5 position players graduating, many of the<br />

new players will vie for starting and contributing<br />

roles this spring. On the infield, 5 new middle<br />

infielders bring depth, versatility, and athleticism<br />

to the team. Ben Brown, Travis Hawkins will push<br />

returning 2nd baseman Kyle Hobar. At shortstop<br />

where a position is available, Juan Mondragon,<br />

Scott Voyles, and Kye Winter will all likely see<br />

some innings in the spring. At third base, Kenny<br />

Trager will compete with returners Justin Hubbard<br />

and Ryan Siddle for playing time.<br />

Behind the plate Adam Wallace will work under<br />

senior Brian Deadmond to improve and develop<br />

into the quality college catcher he is capable of<br />

becoming. Returning to the outfield will be junior<br />

Daniel Covert, who played some right<br />

field last season. He will be joined<br />

in the outfield by some new faces. New players<br />

competing for positions will include junior transfer<br />

David Massengill, sophomore transfer Andrew Pihl,<br />

and freshmen Cole Lawson, Scott Voyles, and<br />

Juan Mondragon.<br />

The Panthers have high hopes for the Spring of<br />

<strong>2010</strong>. The team will strive to live out the Panther<br />

Baseball Covenants on and off the field and trust<br />

the Lord for the rest. We hope you will join the<br />

Panthers in their quest to compete with character.<br />

We appreciate your support. Go Panthers!!!!<br />

<strong>2010</strong> PANTHERS<br />

Matt Leefers | Sr - P | R / R<br />

1<br />

Matt is a senior from<br />

Coffeen, Illinois.<br />

He is a 4th year<br />

returning starter who, while showing<br />

improvement in his skills last spring,<br />

didn’t improve his statistics. This<br />

spring he will be relied upon for a lot<br />

starts and innings. Matt is a frontend<br />

rotation starter for the Panthers<br />

and is poised for a great senior<br />

campaign. He is the son of Tina and<br />

Jim Leefers.<br />

Scott Voyles | Fr - IF / P | R / R<br />

3<br />

Scott is a freshman<br />

from Wayne City,<br />

Illinois. Because<br />

of his good feet and strong arm,<br />

Scott has a chance to be a very<br />

good college baseball player. He<br />

will need to add some strength and<br />

refine his skills, but the Panthers are<br />

encouraged about his future in the<br />

program. He is the son of LeAnn<br />

Scott and the grandson of Kathy and<br />

Tom Voyles.<br />

Kenny Trager | Fr - IF | R / R<br />

4<br />

Kenny comes to<br />

us from Lakewood,<br />

Colorado where he<br />

started at 3rd base for one of the<br />

best teams in the state. He is the<br />

grandson of legendary <strong>Greenville</strong><br />

<strong>College</strong> basketball coach and<br />

athletic director, Jack Trager. Kenny<br />

will compete for the starting 3rd<br />

base position for the Panthers this<br />

spring. He is the son of Sally and<br />

Ken Trager.<br />

Kyle Hobar | Jr - IF | R / R<br />

5<br />

Kyle is a junior<br />

from Germantown,<br />

Tennessee. He put<br />

together a very nice sophomore<br />

season playing primarily 2nd base<br />

and earning Honorable Mention<br />

All-Conference honors. Kyle is a<br />

very good defensive 2nd baseman<br />

with great footwork and an above<br />

average arm. He will also be one of<br />

the major catalysts for the Panther<br />

offense. He is the son of Linda and<br />

Ron Hobar.<br />

Adam Wallace | Fr - C | R / R<br />

6<br />

Adam is a freshman<br />

catcher from<br />

Shipman, Illinois<br />

where he played baseball for Brian<br />

Hanslow. Adam has the tools to be<br />

an excellent college catcher. He is<br />

a hard worker and a tough-minded<br />

competitor. Adam will likely play<br />

a backup role for the Panthers<br />

this spring giving the team some<br />

valuable innings and gaining vital<br />

experience. He is the son of Tonya<br />

and Kevin Wallace.<br />

David Massengill | Jr - OF / P | R / R<br />

7<br />

David is a transfer<br />

student from<br />

Lakeland <strong>College</strong> in<br />

Mattoon where he pitched for the<br />

Lakers. He has the potential to be a<br />

very good Division III pitcher. He will<br />

be counted on for major innings this<br />

spring, but will likely see some time<br />

in the outfield as well where he can<br />

run balls down with his athleticism.<br />

He is the son of Tammie and<br />

Tim Massengill.<br />

<strong>2010</strong> PANTHERS<br />

Brian Deadmond | Sr - C | R / R<br />

8<br />

Brian is senior<br />

catcher from Odin,<br />

Illinois. He is a<br />

2-year returning starter behind the<br />

plate for the Panthers coming off<br />

an excellent 2nd half of the season<br />

last spring. We look for Brian to<br />

get off to a great start this spring<br />

and demonstrate all that he is<br />

capable of at the plate and on the<br />

defensive side of the ball as well.<br />

He is the son of Janna and Vernon<br />

Deadmond.<br />

Cole Lawson | Fr - OF | R / R<br />

12<br />

Cole is a freshman<br />

outfielder and pitcher<br />

for the Panthers.<br />

Cole is a good outfielder who can<br />

cover ground well in the field. He<br />

also exhibits a strong-throwing arm<br />

that he utilizes on the mound as<br />

well as in the field. Cole could be a<br />

very good college player as he gains<br />

strength and experience. He is the<br />

son of Stacey and Rich Lawson.<br />

Juan Mondragon | Fr - IF | R / R<br />

13<br />

Juan is a freshman<br />

from North Palm<br />

Springs, California<br />

where he played baseball at Desert<br />

Hot Springs High School. Juan has<br />

a strong athletic build which allows<br />

him to play shortstop, but also a<br />

few other positions on the field. He<br />

will likely be called upon to help in<br />

several spots on the field for the<br />

Panthers this spring. He is the son<br />

of Rosa and Eugenio Mondragon.<br />

Ben Brown | Fr - IF | R / R<br />

14<br />

Ben is a freshman<br />

2nd baseman from<br />

Pekin, Illinois. Ben<br />

has a great mind for the game<br />

and great desire to get better. He<br />

showed very good footwork in the<br />

fall and the ability to hit the ball all<br />

over the field. We look forward to<br />

watching Ben develop in the Panther<br />

Baseball program. He is the son of<br />

Jan and Mike Brown.<br />

Travis Hawkins | Fr - IF | R / R<br />

16<br />

Travis is a freshman<br />

infielder from<br />

Kirkwood, Missouri.<br />

He spent most of the fall at 2nd<br />

base, but may be asked to move<br />

around the field a bit more this<br />

spring. Travis has the mental and<br />

physical capacity to do that well.<br />

Travis is a good team player with<br />

a great competitive spirit. We look<br />

forward to seeing him grow this<br />

spring. He is the son of Lyn and Kirk<br />

Hawkins.<br />

Ryan Siddle | So - IF | L / R<br />

20<br />

Ryan is a freshman<br />

infielder from<br />

Belleville, Illinois. He<br />

played 3rd base last spring for the<br />

Panthers, but was injured during the<br />

season and had surgery over the<br />

summer. We hope he will recover<br />

quickly enough to help the Panthers<br />

this spring. Last season Ryan was<br />

one of the most improved players on<br />

the team. He is the son of Cynthia<br />

and Ron Siddle.<br />

Derrick Hudnut | Jr - P | R / R<br />

21<br />

Derrick is a<br />

sophomore transfer<br />

from Southwestern<br />

Illinois <strong>College</strong> in Belleville. He<br />

transferred in to GC after being<br />

called into the ministry. Derrick<br />

has the potential to be a very good<br />

college pitcher. He will compete<br />

this spring for a starting role and will<br />

likely pitch some big innings for the<br />

Panther squad. He is the son of<br />

Sandy and Larry Hudnut.<br />

Kye Winter | Fr - IF / P | R / R<br />

23<br />

Kye is a freshman<br />

from Willow Lake,<br />

South Dakota. Kye<br />

is a very good athlete and will likely<br />

play shortstop and pitch for the<br />

Panthers this spring. He has a very<br />

strong arm as well as good hands<br />

and footwork. Kye may play several<br />

positions for the Panthers this<br />

spring. He will also be an important<br />

contributor offensively. He is the<br />

son of Shawn Robbins and Kim and<br />

Rodney Winter.<br />

Bryan Hobbie | Sr - OF | R / R<br />

24<br />

Bryan is a 5th year<br />

senior from Vandalia,<br />

Illinois. He is coming<br />

off a solid season where he was<br />

voted to the all-conference 2nd<br />

team, while hitting in the middle<br />

of the order. Bryan’s athleticism<br />

makes him an excellent defensive<br />

player and his speed makes him a<br />

threat every time he reaches base.<br />

We look for even better things from<br />

Bryan this spring. He is the son<br />

Debbie and Glen Hobbie.<br />

Derek Reckmann | Fr - P | R / R<br />

27<br />

Derek is a freshman<br />

from nearby<br />

Alhambra, Illinois<br />

where he played his baseball for<br />

Joel Hawkins at Highland High<br />

School. Derek is a tall, long, righthanded<br />

pitcher with a good feel on<br />

the mound. He projects well as a<br />

Division III pitcher and the Panthers<br />

have high hopes for him even this<br />

season. Derek is the son of Kim and<br />

Jerry Reckmann.<br />

Kyle Boldt | Fr - IF / P | R / R<br />

33<br />

Kyle is a righthanded<br />

pitcher from<br />

Woodlawn High<br />

School where he played for GC<br />

Panther alumnus, Lance Boldt. Kyle<br />

has a solid frame for a freshman and<br />

a good understanding on the mound.<br />

Kyle will need to log some quality<br />

innings this spring for the Panthers<br />

be as good as they can be. He is<br />

the son of Sharon and Jerry Boldt.<br />

Daniel Covert | Jr - OF / P | L / R<br />

36<br />

Daniel is a junior<br />

pitcher and<br />

outfielder. Last<br />

season Daniel was 3rd in innings<br />

pitched and 3rd in strikeouts for<br />

the Panthers. He also ended the<br />

season as the Panthers designated<br />

hitter hitting .306 for the season.<br />

The Panthers look for more from him<br />

offensively and also defensively in<br />

the outfield this coming spring. He<br />

should still remain an important part<br />

of the pitching staff as well. Daniel<br />

is the son of Katrina and Darin<br />

Covert.<br />

Wes Letizia | Jr - IF / P | R / R<br />

40<br />

Wes is a junior 1st<br />

baseman and pitcher<br />

from Neoga, Illinois.<br />

He has a very strong throwing arm<br />

and good footwork around the<br />

bag. The Panthers look for Wes<br />

to compete at the designated hitter<br />

position and possibly push for some<br />

innings in the outfield this spring. He<br />

should help bolster the pitching staff<br />

out of the bullpen as well. He is the<br />

son of Maureen and John Letizia.<br />

Eric Heiden | Jr - P | L / L<br />

41<br />

Eric is a junior<br />

left-handed pitcher<br />

from Altamont,<br />

Illinois. He threw some valuable<br />

innings for the Panthers last season<br />

starting 6 games and coming out<br />

of the bullpen in 4 others. He will<br />

once again compete for innings as a<br />

starter and reliever this spring. We<br />

believe Eric will continue to develop<br />

as he was one of the most improved<br />

players last spring. He is the son of<br />

Janet and Elden Heiden.<br />

Justin Hubbard | Jr - IF | R / R<br />

44<br />

Justin is a junior 3rd<br />

baseman and pitcher<br />

for the Panthers.<br />

Last season he was a part-time<br />

starter at 3rd base and designated<br />

hitter. This year he will compete for<br />

a starting position at both positions<br />

and also contribute some innings<br />

out of the bullpen. Look for Justin to<br />

continue to improve and contribute<br />

significantly to the Panthers success<br />

this spring. He is the son of Connie<br />

and Michael Hubbard.<br />

Stefan Neece | Sr - IF | L / R<br />

45<br />

Stefan is a 5th year<br />

senior coming off<br />

of Tommy John<br />

surgery last winter. He is a 3-time<br />

all-conference player and sits in the<br />

top 10 in several career offensive<br />

categories in the <strong>Greenville</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />

baseball program. A 3-year team<br />

captain, Stefan provides great<br />

leadership through his hard-work<br />

and selfless humble attitude. He is<br />

the son of Marleen and<br />

Brad Neece.<br />
