TOM ARRINGTONHead CoachTexas A&M University (1987)Overall: 794-313 (.717), 19th season

Leading the baseball program at San Jacinto College means more than performing a job for Tom Arrington. The way he sees it, he has an obligation to both the College and his players to help them continue their development and extend their playing career. So far, so good for Arrington, who took over the San Jacinto College program as head coach prior to the 2001 season. Since then, San Jacinto College has made 11 trips to the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) JUCO World Series, including six appearances in the national title game, culminating as the national runner-up in 2003, 2004, 2010, 2012, 2016, and 2017. His 40 wins at the JUCO World Series is an all-time record, as is his 64 total games played at the prestigious national tournament. Arrington can also add “Hall of Fame” to his signature, as the veteran coach entered the NJCAA Baseball of Fame in 2018.

Last season Arrington again guided the Gators to the JUCO World Series, where the team advanced to the semifinals and finished 3-2 at the national tournament. In a season in which seven players were selected in the MLB Draft, San Jac went 52-15 under Arrington’s guidance. He was again named Region XIV Coach of the Year, and 13 players earned Region XIV South All-conference honors.

In 2017, Arrington once again led his team to Grand Junction, Colorado, and wound up as the national runner-up. His squad finished the season 48-17 overall and was the Region XIV tournament champion. Five players – Sergio Macias, Michael Smith, Ryan Johnson, Donny Diaz, and MacGregor Hines – earned JUCO World Series all-tournament honors and six players were drafted in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft.

The 2016 season saw Arrington’s squad make another run for a national title, falling short to Yavapai College in the final game of the 2016 JUCO World Series. Three San Jac players were named to the JUCO World Series All-Tournament Team – catcher Baine Schoenvogel, pitcher Devin Smeltzer, and designated hitter Ryan January; and seven players were selected in the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. San Jac finished the season as the Region XIV South Zone champions, the undefeated Region XIV champions, and national runner-up, with an overall record of 51-12 and 31-9 in conference play. Arrington, in his 15th year as head coach, was named the Region XIV Coach of the Year for the 11th time. In 2015, San Jac recorded a 43-21 overall record, returning to the JUCO World Series for the 23rd time in school history. Riley Smith was selected in the 31st round of the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft, eight players earned post-season honors, 10 players were selected to participate in the Texas / New Mexico All-Star game, and a record 16 student-athletes signed National Letters of Intent to continue their education and baseball careers at four-year universities.

2014 produced a 30-win season for San Jac as the team went 32-28 overall, and 20-20 in conference play. Five players earned postseason awards, led by Josh Palacios and Matt Eureste who were named to the all-Region XIV team. In addition, Toller Boardman, Austin Homan, and Josh Croft earned a spot on the all-Conference team. In June, six players were selected in the 2014 Major League Baseball (MLB) First-Year Player Draft.

In 2013, San Jacinto College again won the Region XIV South Conference Championship after a 35-21 (22-8) regular season. Four players earned all-conference honors, and Arrington was named the Region XIV Coach of the Year.

Arrington’s 2012 season was another 40-win season for San Jacinto College, as it went 41-27 on the way to a national runner-up, the second in three years. Arrington earned his 500th career win in a 3-0 win over Blinn College on Feb. 18. Starting pitcher A.J. Glasshof hurled a complete game no-hitter, the first nine inning no-hitter in the College’s history. Six players were named to the All-Conference team, and for a fourth consecutive year, Arrington was named the South Zone Coach of the Year. The team shut out the defending JUCO champions Navarro College 1-0 in the final game of the regional tournament to earn a record 22nd trip to the national tournament.

The 2011 season ended earlier than Arrington would have liked, but the success of his team and players can’t be overlooked. It was another 40-win season (40-16) for San Jacinto College, six players were drafted in the Major League Baseball (MLB) First-year player draft, and the pitching duo of Tyler Wright and Miguel Pena went 20-4 overall, earning All-America honors.

The 2010 season was one of the most successful under Arrington. He guided San Jac to an unprecedented 21st trip to the NJCAA World Series, finishing as the national runner-up. Four players were named to the All-Tournament team in Grand Junction, three earned postseason honors and nine were selected in the MLB first-year player draft. San Jac’s appearance in the national championship game was the 12th in program history, and the national runner-up finish was the seventh. San Jac finished the season with a 52-12 overall record.

2009 was, by all measures, a successful season, despite not having a home field to play on due to construction at JR Harrison Field. Nine baseball student-athletes were named to the all- conference team, and Arrington was tabbed as the conference coach of the year. Deric Hawkins and Tommy Collier earned NJCAA All-American honors in leading San Jac to a 45-11 record, the conference title, and a tie for fourth at the World Series.

In 2008, Arrington led San Jac to a 44-14 record, and saw two of his players from that team drafted in the majors. San Jac advanced to the semifinals of the Region XIV tournament, just shy of a return trip to the JUCO World Series.

In 2007, Arrington guided San Jac to a 46-16 record, complete with another conference crown, Region XIV tournament title and a third- place finish at the World Series. Along the way, Arrington surpassed the 300-win mark as head coach at San Jacinto College. In his first six years as head coach (2001-2016), Arrington was 264-102.

Wayne Graham, now the head coach at Rice University, led San Jac to five national titles from 1985 to 1990 and won 586 games over 11 seasons. Graham’s successor, Chris Rupp, took San Jac to four consecutive World Series (1997, 1998, 1999, 2000), with appearances in the national championship game in 1998 and 1999.

While the national title has proven to be elusive to San Jac under Arrington’s tutelage, Arrington and his staff have helped more than 150 of San Jacinto players find homes at collegiate institutions, and over 70 at the professional level. For him, it’s all part of his obligation as the team’s leader. “It’s extremely gratifying to have quality athletes come in here and help us be what we believe is the premier junior college program in the country,” Arrington said. “First and foremost, they are getting a quality education and at the same time they are continuing to develop and showcase their skills to a point where they either move on to the Division I level on scholarship or sign professional contracts for large signing bonuses. I think we accomplish those three goals, including the education, as well as anyone in the nation.”

Arrington is confident the day will come when the national trophy again comes home to Houston. It will take skill, desire and some luck, but Arrington is committed to ensuring that current and future San Jacinto College players are placed in a great position to be successful. “We have that desire to sustain our performance on the field, and with that hopefully comes a dominance of the region,” Arrington said. “With nine trips (to the national tournament) in 15 years, I think we’re doing that. That highly coveted first national championship for this group of coaches and the players is still in our sights. When it’s our year, it will be our year. I also believe that when we win one, we may win several after that. Our time is coming.”

With Arrington’s intense focus on the prize, there’s no reason to doubt his confidence. As a player, he was intent on becoming the best he could be. His college career included two seasons at Texas A&M University, and he later pitched at the Triple A level for both the Montreal Expos and Texas Rangers.

Arrington began his coaching career in 1991 at the College of Mateo. Later came stops at San Francisco State University and College of Marin. In 2000, Arrington arrived in Houston as San Jac’s assistant coach, where he focused on the pitchers. Nearly two seasons later, he was named head coach, and in the Spring of 2011, was named the athletic director for the San Jacinto College North Campus.

“We look at our program as one of the best in the country,” Arrington said. “We also have an obligation to make sure these young men get the best education possible. That’s simply a personal belief of mine. We have to prepare these guys for lifelong success, not just baseball success. They have to be able to deal with success or failure on and off the field. We live in a demanding society, so we make sure our players are well prepared.”

The Mill Valley, Calif., native began his playing career at College of Marin where he was an all-conference selection. He then played two years at Texas A&M University where he earned two letters, was all-conference, and the Southwest Conference tournament most Valuable Player. He also earned the C.E. “Pat” Olsen MVP award. Arrington holds a master’s degree from San Francisco State University.

Arrington played professionally for the Triple A team of the Texas Rangers; in Guadalajara, Mexico; for the Salt Lake Trappers; and the Single A farm team of the Montreal Expos.

Coach Arrington and his wife, Marya, have a son Alden (19) and a daughter Anya Lily (16).

ERICWEAVERASSISTANT COACHTexas State University (2008)5th Season

Eric Weaver joined the San Jacinto College baseball coaching staff in the fall of 2014 and hit the ground running. Among his duties at San Jac are pitching and infield coaching, and assisting with player recruitment. He also serves as the baseball facility coordinator. Weaver was a standout college pitcher and successful college coach, bringing with him talents and strengths that help the San Jacinto College baseball team.

“Since Eric joined the program, we have made three consecutive trips to the JUCO World Series,” said Head Coach Tom Arrington. “Eric works closely with Kory in the recruitment of prospective players within the state and region. He has a strong contact base of local high school coaches, professional scouts, and player agents to draw upon in the search process. Weaver will also work closely with myself and Volunteer Assistant Coach Woody Williams in the development and planning of the pitching staff.”

In addition to coaching the team on the field, Weaver is also the academic coordinator of student-athletes at the North Campus. In this role he assesses each student-athlete’s course load, assists in preparing class schedules, develops transfer plans, and coordinates a smooth and clean transition to National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) institutions.

Weaver graduated from Deer Park High School in 2003, where he was a two- sport standout, earning all-District honors in baseball and football. He went on

to be a starting pitcher at Alvin Community College, and was voted to the Texas / New Mexico JUCO All-Star game after his freshman year. He was the team’s most valuable player in 2006, earning all-Conference recognition.

Weaver continued his academics and baseball at Texas State University, where he was ranked the fifth most effective pitcher in the Southland Conference in 2007, posting a 6-1 record in 30 appearances. That season, Weaver had five saves with a 2.23 ERA, allowing 33 hits and seven walks, with 33 strikeouts and a .212 opponents’ batting average. He saw limited action in his senior year due to a shoulder injury.

Weaver returned to Alvin Community College to serve as its infield coach and recruiting coordinator from 2011 to 2014. During that time, the Alvin baseball team won the South Zone Championship in 2014, and was ranked third in the nation in the Perfect Game poll, the highest national ranking in the college’s history. In 2014, Weaver served as an assistant coach in the Karl Young Collegiate League, a Houston-area summer league. He went on to serve as head coach in 2015, and did so again in 2016.

He holds a bachelor’s degree in applied arts & science from Texas State University. Weaver and his wife, Kassi, were married in 2012. The couple have two sons, Easton (3) and Nash (2). The family resides in Deer Park.

KORYKOEHLERvolunteer ASSISTANT CoachUniversity of Houston (2006)20th Season

A former catcher at San Jacinto College (1999-2000), Kory Koehler is now entering his 20th season with the team. As a player, Koehler was fortunate enough to play in two JUCO World Series, and during his time as a volunteer assistant coach, the team has made 12 trips to Grand Junction. Obviously, Koehler appreciates the success he’s been a part of as a coach. Winning at a consistent level certainly involves having talented players and crafted coaches, but Koehler has seen San Jacinto College go the extra step.

“For me, each year is a new start. I’ve been very fortunate in my time here at San Jac. This is my alma mater and it means the world to me to continue to be a part of such a wonderful program. The 2016 season was incredible and had a roster of amazing young men. I look forward to another fantastic run in 2017 and I believe this year’s team has as good a chance as any in years past to bring that elusive sixth National Championship back to San Jac. Unfortunately, I have been on the losing end of six championship games, but I wouldn’t trade those experiences for the world. With that said, I would love to see our young men get to experience that moment after winning the final game of the season in Grand Junction, Colorado. Experiencing that moment is something we work so very hard for and we look forward to each and every year and I hope one day to experience that with Head Coach Tom Arrington, fellow coaches and staff, and most importantly our student-athletes.”

The 39-year-old Koehler, originally from North Bay, New York, graduated from the University of Houston in 2006 with a Bachelor of Science; and in 2008 with a Master of Education in Physical Education. In the summer of 2015, Kory led the Houston Collegiate League Gators to a league championship.

“Kory is an outstanding coach and an even better person that has a deep seeded passion for the development of players and for the success of the San Jac baseball program,” said Head Coach Tom Arrington. “He possesses a tireless commitment toward San Jacinto College baseball and the pursuit of a national championship. Over the last 17 years of our friendship and work together at San Jac, Kory has continued to take on additional responsibilities in his development. While he is in charge of recruiting, hitting and offensive planning and development of the team, he has also done a tremendous job in our community outreach.”

In addition to his duties with the San Jacinto College baseball team, Kory is the physical education lead faculty and wellness director on the San Jacinto College North Campus. He and his wife, Erika, were married in November 2006. The couple has two sons, Keaton Jax (7), and Kason Jett (3).

JASONKRUGVOLUNTEERASSISTANT COACHMissouri Valley College (1995)11th Season

WOODYWILLIAMSVOLUNTEERASSISTANT COACHAlvin Community College (1986)4th Season

Jason Krug is in his 11th season with the San Jacinto College baseball coaching staff. Prior to joining the San Jacinto College program, he spent two seasons as a volunteer assistant coach at the University of Louisiana- Lafayette where he assisted in the coaching of the middle infielders and hitters. In 2007, the Ragin Cajuns won the Sun Belt Conference championship and advanced to the NCAA regional tournament.

“As first base coach, Jason works closely with Kory in the development and planning of the offensive approach of the team, but he is also in charge of the outfielder’s development, base-running and the team’s strength and nutrition programs,” said Head Coach Tom Arrington. “Jason is very positive and has an enthusiastic approach to his education of the players.”

In December 2007, Krug was named head coach of the Edenton (N.C.) Steamers in the Coastal Plains Summer Collegiate League. During the summer of 2008, the Steamers won the first-half divisional championship with an overall record of 20-7. For his efforts, he was named one of the head coaches for the 2008 Coastal Plains League All-Star game.

Krug has also held coaching positions as an assistant coach at Southwestern University, where he was the hitting coach. He worked as an instructor and coach for the Austin Wings, serving as the head coach for the 17-under premier showcase team. Other coaching stints include the 2000 AAU national finalist team and the 2001 Connie Mack state champions.

In 2006, Krug led the Wings to the 17-and-under Premier National Championship. Before entering the collegiate coaching ranks, Krug spent nine years teaching and coaching at the high school level. The 43-year old holds a bachelor’s degree in secondary education from Missouri Valley College, where he was a two-sport athlete in baseball and football.

Woody Williams may be in his fourth season as a volunteer assistant coach with the San Jacinto College baseball program, but he is no stranger to the game of baseball at any level. Williams played at Wharton County Junior College, Alvin College, and the University of Houston, before a professional career that spanned 20 seasons with the Toronto Blue Jays, San Diego Padres, St. Louis Cardinals, and Houston Astros. His experience and wealth of knowledge will be an asset to the San Jac baseball program.

Prior to joining San Jacinto College in the fall of 2015, Williams coached three years at Fort Bend Christian Academy, and spent two seasons with the Houston Heat.

“I am very excited to be here and be a part of this team,” Williams said. “I enjoy being around the players and helping them to grow as young men and baseball players. My coaching philosophy has always been to play the game in the right way with respect and integrity, and I hope I can show these players how to do that.”

Williams made his major league debut on May 14, 1993, for the Blue Jays. He began his pitching career in the majors as a reliever, but was moved to a full-time starter in 1997. His career blossomed after being traded to St. Louis in August of 2001, where he went 7-1 with a 2.28 ERA in 11 starts for the Cardinals. He went on to be named to the 2003 All-Star team, and pitched in the playoffs. The right hander says his most memorable moment playing baseball was pitching in the playoffs in 2001. “There’s no way to describe the feeling of playing in the playoffs,” he said. However, he says coaching is more satisfying than playing because of the opportunity to see kids grow into young men. His message to those kids wanting to play collegiately and professionally is, “You have to be coachable, willing to learn, and do whatever it takes to become the best in your craft.”

“I am honored and blessed to have Woody coaching alongside me,” said Head Coach Tom Arrington. “We have known each other for years, but over the past two seasons working together has been extremely rewarding to me not only from a coaching perspective, but a personal one as well. Woody is extremely knowledgeable of the game, as is evidenced in his playing experience, but more importantly he has a way of delivering this knowledge to the players in a way they can understand and utilize in their development. Though Woody’s primary responsibility is working with the development of the pitchers, his input in all areas of the team is welcomed.”

Williams and his wife, Kim, reside in Houston. The couple has four daughters (Katelyn, Sarah, Hannah, and Lily) and a son (Caden).

SAN JAC PLAYERS IN PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL

San Jacinto College is as prolific as any two-year college in the nation when it comes to sending players to the professional ranks. In the last five years, 18 San Jacinto College baseball players have been selected in the Major League Baseball (MLB) First-Year Player Draft. Houston area baseball fans are well versed in the success of former players Andy Pettitte and Roger Clemens, but the list does not end there. Pitchers Matt Albers (Milwaukee Brewers), Anthony Banda (Tampa Bay Rays), Daniel Stumpf (Detroit Tigers), and San Francisco first baseman Brandon Belt are former Gators now on major league rosters.

Albers was originally drafted by the Houston Astros in the 23rd round of the 2001 First Year Player Draft. He has spent time on the roster in Baltimore, Boston, Arizona, Cleveland, Houston, Chicago (White Sox), Washington Nationals, and most recently with the Milwaukee Brewers. Since his debut on July 25, 2006, Albers has gone 36-39 with a 4.13 ERA. He has started 24 games, pitching 665.0 innings.

Banda went 2-3 last season with a 5.96 ERA. He saw action in eight games, starting four, and pitched in 25.2 innings.

Stumpf made his major league debut on April 7, 2016. In his two years in the major leagues, he is 0-1 with a 4.64 ERA. He’s appeared in 62 games and 42.2 innings pitched.

Belt helped the San Francisco Giants win the 2012 and 2014 World Series. He made his major league debut on March 31, 2011, with the Giants, and has been with the organization ever since. In 2017, Belt hit .241 in 382 at-bats and 104 games. He had 18 home runs, 27 doubles, and three triples.
