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 />
<strong>2010</strong> GREENVILLE COLLEGE BASEBALL | www.gcpanthers.com
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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

captain, Stefan provides great<br />
leadership through his hard-work<br />
and selfless humble attitude. He is<br />
the son of Marleen and<br />
