HEAD COACH JIM TYRRELL

THE JIM TYRRELL FILESeasons School, Position1999-02 Marist College, Assistant Coach2003 Marist College, Head Coach2004 Old Dominion Univ., Assistant Coach2005-08 Florida Southern College, Assistant Coach2009 Florida Southern College, Head Coach

JIM TYRRELL HEAD COACHING RECORD 2003 Marist College 33-20-1 2009 Florida Southern College 41-16 CAREER 74-36-1

In his first season (2009) as the Moccasins’ head baseball coach, Jim Tyrrell guided the Moccasins to a 41-16 record that included runner-up finishes in the Sunshine State Conference and the NCAA South Regional. The Moccasins were ranked 8th in the final Division II Coaches Poll by Collegiate Baseball Newspaper. Three members of his 2009 squad were selected in the Major League Draft - Robbie Shields by the Mets in Round 3, Nick Stan-ley by the Astros in Round 25 and Will Cherry by the Mets in Round 38. Tyrrell officially assumed his head coaching duties on July 1, 2008. He had been named to the position Feb. 21 in conjunction with the announcement that former head coach Pete Meyer was relinquishing his coaching duties to become director of athletics. After serving four seasons as Meyer’s top assistant, Tyrrell is just the fifth head baseball coach since 1958 at FSC, following Meyer (2002-08), Chuck Anderson (1984-2002), Joe Arnold (1977-83) and Hal Smeltzly (1958-76).

He joined the Moccasin staff after serving as pitching coach at Old Dominion University in 2004. In his first FSC season in 2005, the Moccasin pitching staff led the Sunshine State Confer-ence in ERA (3.46) and strikeouts (426), as FSC won the NCAA Division II championship. In charge of the Moccasin pitching staff in his four years as an assistant, Tyrrell has seen five of his Moccasin pitchers drafted. Kyle DeYoung, the MVP of the 2005 Division II Championship, was drafted by the Houston Astros’ organization. Dan Albritton and Brett Robinson, seniors on the 2007 squad, were drafted by the White Sox and Astros, respectively. Jeremy Thorne and Ryan Koch, seniors on the 2008 team, were selected by the Angels and Blue Jays, respectively, and currently are in those clubs’ minor league organizations. Tyrrell has a strong history of developing pitchers. One of his pitchers at Old Dominion was Justin Verlander, who now is a star with the Detroit Tigers. Verlander was the second player chosen in the 2004 Major League Draft and the 2006 American League Rookie of the Year. Under Tyrrell, the Old Dominion pitching staff set school records for strikeouts (471) and fewest walks (168) in a season. In addition to being the pitching coach at Old Dominion, Tyrrell also was the recruiting coordinator, the same duties he had as an assistant at Florida Southern. His appointment as the Moccasins’ head coach is his second head coaching position. Before going to Old Dominion, he was head baseball coach at Marist College in New York for the 2003 season, after serving three seasons there as the pitching coach. He led Marist to a 33-20-1 record and the pitching staff ranked 10th in earned run average in NCAA Division I. Four Marist players were drafted from that team. Overall, Marist won three conference championships and made three NCAA tournament appearances during Tyrrell’s tenure on the coaching staff. Tyrrell’s collegiate playing career began at Old Dominion, where he was 4-0 as a freshman pitcher. He spent his sophomore season at Dutchess Community College (N.Y.), before the Bos-ton Red Sox drafted him in the 14th round of the 1992 free agent draft. He played for six seasons in the Red Sox’ organization be-fore starting his coaching career. He received his bachelor’s degree from Marist in 2002.

Jim Tyrrell took over the reigns of the Moccasins in 2009, becoming just the fifth head coach of the Florida Southern baseball program since 1957.

ASSISTANT COACHBRAD COOK

Brad Cook completed his first season as an assistant on the Moc-casin baseball staff in 2009. Before coming to Florida Southern, Cook was the baseball coach at Johnson City (N.Y.) High School for two seasons, leading his team to the Class A state championship game in 2007. He had the Class A Player of the Year and a first-team all-state pitcher on his team. He was a junior college All-American as an outfielder at Key-stone Junior College before transfer-ring to Marist College, where Jim Tyrrell was his pitching coach. Cook led the team in ERA in 2002 and Marist’s team ERA was fourth in the nation. Following his collegiate career, he played two seasons with the Elmira Pioneers of the Independent North-east League. He received his bachelor’s degree in special education from Marist in 2003 and earned his master’s degree in middle school mathematics from Walden University in 2007. He was a special education teacher for four years before coming to Florida South-ern.

ASSISTANT COACH AL CORBEIL Former Moccasin standout Al Corbeil completed his first season on the Florida Southern baseball staff as Jim Tyrrell’s top assistant in 2009. He helped lead the Mocca-sins to a 41-16 record that included runner-up finishes in the Sunshine State Conference and the NCAA South Regional. Corbeil played just one season for the Moccasins (2001), but he made it a good one. Starting all 53 games in the Moccasins’ 35-18 sea-son, he hit .399 and led the team with 15 home runs and 62 RBI. Splitting time between the outfield and behind the plate, Corbeil compiled a .992 fielding average, committing just two errors in 236 chances. He was a first-team

ASSISTANT COACHCOLLIN MARTIN

Collin Martin is in his first sea-son as a Moccasins assistant coach. He served as assistant coach at Win-ter Haven High School from 2006-2009 and spent this past summer as an assistant coach for the Cotuit Kettlers of the prestigious Cape Cod League. Before making the move to high school coaching, he coached profes-sionally for the Florence Freedom of the independent Frontier League in 2007. Prior to getting into coaching, Collin played collegiately at Santa Fe Community College, where he was a first-team All Mid-Conference selection in 2004. He transferred to Webber Inter-national for the 2005-2006 seasons. In 2006, he was a first-team All-Florida Sun Conference selection, a first-team All-Southern Region choice and an honorable mention NAIA All-American. After college, Martin signed a free agent contract with the Cleve-land Indians in 2006 and later with the Florence Freedom. He lives in Winter Haven and is the son of Philadelphia Phillies Manager, Charlie Manuel.

All-SSC and All-South Region selection and a second-team All-America selection. He was drafted in the 16th round by the Ana-heim Angels and played seven seasons of professional baseball. Corbeil transferred to Florida Southern after playing one season at Division I Florida International, where he was a first-team All-America selection and the 2000 Sun Belt Conference Player and Newcomer of the Year, hitting .399 with 13 home runs and 73 RBI. Prior to his one season at FIU, he played two seasons at Manatee Community College, earning first-team all-state and all-conference recognition both years. He hit .435 with 65 RBI as a freshman and hit .430 with 94 RBI as a sophomore. He graduated from Plantation High School in 1997. He hit .569 as a senior and was a first-team all state selection. Before returning to FSC, Corbeil was an assistant baseball coach at Manatee CC for three seasons. He and his wife, Whit-ney, reside in Lakeland.

Onlymajorcategorieslisted.*-Tied for the SSC lead

Since the Sunshine State Con-ference added baseball in 1978, a Moccasin pitcher has led the league in a statistical category 48 times. That includes Brett Tomko (1995) and B.J. Leach (1999) who each won the pitcher’s triple crown, leading in wins, strikeouts and ERA.

Bruce Aitken set the Florida Southern standard with a sparkling 0.63 earned run average in 1965. He also was below 1.00 in 1967 with a 0.95 ERA.

Kyle DeYoung set the FSC career saves record in just one season, recording 17 saves in 2005. He also set the FSC single season mark with 37 appearances.

Clare “Doc” Henley Ball park (aka Henley Field) The Mocs play their home games at historic Henley Field, a 1,000-seat lighted ball park located a few blocks north of downtown Lakeland. Its cozy atmosphere makes it fun to attend a game, but it is tough on opponents. Combined with nearby Joker Marchant Stadium (which served as the Mocs’ home park for several games in past seasons) FSC has a winning percentage at home of better than 80%. Henley Field’s dimensions are 420 to straight-away center, 325 down the left field line, 330 down the right field line, 365 to left center and 385 to right center.

THE HISTORY OF HENLEY FIELD Named for Clare “Doc” Henley, Henley Field, the home of the Moccasins, has been a Lakeland fixture since the 1920’s when it was known as Adair Field. In 1922, Clare Henley, president of the Lakeland Base-ball Club, joined efforts with T.J. Appleyard and approached the Cleveland Indians about moving their Spring Training to Lakeland. In 1923 the Indians set up shop in Lakeland and played here for two seasons. Henley, owner of a series of Lakeland area pharmacies, would sell tickets at his stores and also charge for parking next to the park. On March 17, 1925 the dedication of “Athletic Park” took place with Major League Baseball Commissioner Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis as guest speaker. With attendance dwindling to just an average of just 110 fans in 1927, the Indians packed their bags and left Lake-land without a professional team Athletic Field originally was an open field, but in 1927

a wall encircled the 510’ by 440’ field. In 1933 Henley joined with the Lakeland Chamber of Commerce and approached the Detroit Tigers about setting up camp at Athletic Field. In 1934, the Tigers began what today is the longest relationship between a major league team and a host spring training city. The Lakeland Chamber decided to honor Henley by naming the park in his honor and on March 29, 1952, Ath-letic Field was renamed Clare “Doc” Henley Ball Park. A writer for the Detroit News said of Henley, “He is the man who has done the most for the national sport of base-ball in Lakeland.” Futhermore, the writer called Henley, the “Virtual Father of Lakeland Baseball.” During its spring training days Henley Field saw the likes of Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb, as well as Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams, play here, in addition to Hall of Famer Al Kaline, whose grandson, Colin, is a current member of the Moccasin baseball team.

In 1987, Henley Field was the fictional home to the Tampico Stogies semi-pro-fessional team in the HBO movie “Long Gone” star-ring William Peterson and Virginia Madsen. Former FSC athletics director Hal Smeltzly served as baseball advisor during the filming.

Home of the Nine-Time National Champion MoccasinsWHO WAS CLARE HENLEY? Clare Henley was born in 1888 in Lake-land. After graduating from Lakeland High School, Henley attended Stetson Univer-sity and later studied at Atlanta College of Pharmacy. While in Atlanta, Henley played baseball at Georgia Tech although not a stu-dent at the school. Henley later took over his father’s phar-macy business and eventually sold spring training tickets in his five stores. His love for baseball inspired him to convince the City of Lakeland to purchase 70 acres of land from Dr. Pike Adair. Adair Park was the site of Athletic Field, a neigh-borhood pool and a football stadium. The stadium exists today as Bryant Stadium, the home of Lakeland High School football. Having recruited the area’s first professional baseball team - the Louisville Colonels - to Lakeland in 1915, Hen-ley started his own pro team - the Lakeland Highlanders - to compete in newly formed Florida State League. In seven seasons, Henley’s teams captured three penants and finished in the top three six teams. Ten of his players advanced to play in the Major Leagues. Henley died in 1955 at the age of 69.

HENLEY FIELD IMPROVEMENTS Originally Athletic Field was an open park. In 1927 a wall was erected to enclose the park. Original dimensions would have had dead center at over 500-feet. In 1940 a press box was added to the top of the grand-stands, but was destroyed by a hurricane in 1945. A 24-foot press box was erected in 1946 and remained until it was declared unsafe in 1985. Originally, the dugouts were built as part of the main

grandstands, but current dugouts were constructed for safety reasons and the old dugouts filled in. The Detroit Tigers trained at Hen-ley Field from 1934 until 1966 when the club moved to Joker March-ant Stadium. In 2002, the Tigers Class-A affiliate in the Florida State League used Henley Field while Joker Marchant Stadium underwent a renovation. The $250,000 up-grade to Henley Field brought metal stands and bleachers to replace the original wooden seats. New lights and a scoreboard were added along with an enhanced fan area behind the third base dugouts.

Fans packed Henley Field to watch the Detroit Tigers in a Spring Training Game in this 1962 photograph.

Florida Southern CollegeFrank Lloyd Wright’s

“Child of the Sun”

of Dr. Ludd M. Spivey, president of the college from 1925-1957. In 1935 he conceived the idea of an ultra-modern campus, designed by the world’s leading architect. Ground was broken two years later for the first building in the Wright collection, the Annie Pfeiffer Chapel. What Frank Lloyd Wright created on the campus is amazing. His original work is still as modern and exciting as the newest buildings still on many architect’s drawing boards. It is, perhaps, symbolic that the greatest concentration of his genius should be located at a small, private institution of higher learning. Perhaps he describes it best, “...out of the ground and into the light, a child of the sun...the college of tomorrow.”

Founded by the United Methodist Church, Florida Southern College is one of the oldest private colleges in the state, tracing its beginnings to a small seminary in Orlando in 1883. The tie to its founding church has remained constant and is today, a proud part of the College’s heritage and a bright beacon for the future. Florida Southern moved to Lakeland in the heart of Florida’s citrus belt in 1922 and began the construction of a campus that would eventually become a national landmark. The beautiful 100-acre campus, on the north shore of Lake Hollingsworth, includes the world’s largest collection of buildings by master architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Florida Southern’s West Campus, now known throughout the world, actually had its inception in the mind

Annie Pfeiffer Chapel, completed in 1941, was the first of Wright’s designs at Florida Southern College.

Florida Southern is home to the world’s only Frank Lloyd Wright-designed planetarium.

The Danforth Chapel is one of two chapels on campus designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.

Frank Lloyd Wright often visited Florida Southern College during his 20-year relationship with the college.

The Lucius Pond Ordway Building, completed in 1952, was supposedly one of Wright’s favorites because of the simplicity of the design.

The Thad Buckner Building is home to the Frank Lloyd Wright “Child of the Sun” Visitor Center.

PETE MEYERDirector of Athletics

Named to the position Feb. 21, 2008, Pete Meyer off icially assumed his duties July 1, 2008. He is just the fourth person since 1972 to occupy the position of director of athletics at Florida Southern – following Hal Smeltzly (1972-2000), Mike Roberts (2000-01) and Webb (2001-08). Meyer was the Moccasins’ head baseball coach from 2002 through 2008.

In the fall of 2008, Meyer was given the additional title of Dean of Wellness, as the operation of the Hollis Wellness Center as well as the the water ski program and campus intramurals also fall under his direction. Meyer, who has been at Florida Southern since 1998, had served as assistant athletics director for Webb since February of 2006, in addition to maintaining his baseball coaching duties. In his position as assistant athletics director, he was responsible for acquiring major gifts for the athletic department that included funding and equipment for the athletics weight room and upgrading the baseball and men’s basketball locker rooms. He also served as Florida Southern’s representative on the Sunshine State Conference Marketing Committee. As baseball coach, Meyer spent six full seasons as head coach, and in 2005, guided the Moccasins to their ninth NCAA Division II national title with a 51-11 record and was the American Baseball Coaches Association Division II Coach-of-the-Year. In addition to his national coaching honors from the ABCA, Meyer also was South Region, Sunshine State Conference and Florida Diamond Club (scouting organization) Coach-of-the-Year. His head coaching record at Florida Southern was 257-111-1, while his overall record as a head coach was 296-141-1. Thirty-four Moccasin baseball players were drafted or signed professional contracts during Meyer’s tenure at FSC. Before officially assuming the reigns of head coach, Meyer had served for over three years as Florida Southern’s top assistant coach under Chuck Anderson. Prior to joining the FSC coaching staff, Meyer spent five seasons at Valdosta State, working under the legendary head coach, Tommy Thomas. Before his stint at Valdosta State, Meyer was head baseball coach at Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, where he coordinated the start of the school’s Division III baseball program in 1991. He served as a graduate assistant at Valdosta State from 1988-90, while earning his M. Ed. in physical education. A four-year baseball letterman at the College of Wooster in Ohio, Meyer graduated in 1987 with a B.A. in speech communication. Meyer is married to the former Julie Newnum. The couple has three children, 21-year old Ross, 19-year old Mitchell and 18-year old Megan.
