Tennessee Tech
Division 1
Tennessee Tech head baseball coach Justin Holmes found the perfect fit for the team's opening at volunteer assistant coach, hiring Garrett Walters in the role for the 2018-19 season.
"Garrett comes to us with a lot of experience at the Division I level," Holmes explained. "He brings a lot of energy and expertise in areas that we need that expertise in. I am really excited about that. He is valuable and a really hard worker. I really enjoy being around him and having him in our program. We're just happy to have him."
"Knowing [assistant coach] Mitch [Wright] prior to this, really helped me in getting my foot in the door and just seeing what Coach Holmes is about," Walters said of applying for the position. "Like I told Coach Holmes, I watched his press conference when he got the job. His enthusiasm and passion for not only baseball, but also just this program really drove me to want to be here, and I made that known. I spoke with him about it and it's just a good fit. Walking in here, everything is blue collar and these guys just get after it. They want to be here. They want to work for the guys next to them and I wanted to be a part of that."
Walters joins the Golden Eagle staff after serving as a graduate assistant coach at the University of Alabama during the 2017 and 2018 seasons under two different coaching staffs, including, most recently, head coach Brad Bohannon. He also worked as a coach for the East Coast Sox, a 15u travel team competing in WWBA tournaments.
While at Alabama, he handled equipment needs and oversaw the student manager program. He also assisted with batting practice, infield work and any extra skill work as needed. Additionally, he had a hand in running prospect camps, showcases and travel tournaments that were held at the Alabama facilities.
A former collegiate backstop at both the University of Louisiana at Monroe and Calhoun Community College, Walters will primarily work with the Golden Eagle catchers while also aiding with all field maintenance and day-to-day operations.
"We are going to put him to good use, having him do a lot of work with our catchers and work closely with our pitchers," Holmes explained of Walters' duties. "It makes sense that their catching coach and the guy that runs with those guys would not be separate but a part of the pitching staff, during the game. Obviously, by knowing and understanding what is going on, the catcher can have a great impact."
"I've been blessed with opportunities like playing at Louisiana Monroe and seeing a Division I program that didn't have all of the resources and making things work with what you have," Walters explained. "And then getting to go to Alabama for two years and working there and seeing a place that has the resources. You get a bunch of different perspectives as what to use, how to use it, the mind set on the field of different caliber athletes on the field. So, I feel like I bring in a lot of perspective as well as work ethic. Whatever they ask me to do, I'm going to grind and try to do it the best I can."
Walters earned his bachelor's degree in business, with a concentration in marketing, from ULM in July of 2016. In May of 2018, he added a master's in sports business management from the University of Alabama to his resume.

Division 1
Kyle Sprague joined the University of Cincinnati baseball staff in the summer of 2017.
His work on offense came through the loudest during the team's historic 2019 season when the Bearcats' bats went on a torrential pace during the postseason. During the 4-0 AAC Tournament run, UC broke the tournament records for runs (51), RBI (47) and hits (60). Seven homeruns and four in the championship game were also AAC Tournament records. The 22-5 title win over UConn was the largest margin of victory ever in the tournament while they tied for the most number of hits in a game. Eleven different players got a hit during the 4-0 tournament week. All six all-tournament honorees were offensive players with slugger AJ Bumpass named tournament MVP.
During the pandemic-shortened 2020 season, UC ranked 12th in the nation in triples per game, 14th in doubles per game, 21st in on-base percentage, 30th in scoring and 31st in slugging percentage.
Sprague came to UC after two seasons on Head Coach Scott Googins staff at Xavier University as the volunteer assistant coach. Sprague directed XUs camps, assisted in all facets of the program and coached first base during games.
Kyle has been with me the past two years and is a great addition to our staff here at UC, Googins said. He brings a lot to the table - he does an unbelievable job with developing infielders and is on the cutting edge with hitters. He's a young up-and-coming coach who's very energetic and passionate about what he does.
During his two seasons at Xavier, the Musketeers won a BIG EAST Conference regular season championship (2016), two-straight league tournament championships (2016 & 17) and played in consecutive regional finals in the NCAA Championship (2016 & 17).
Sprague worked with hitters and infielders and assisted with outfielders at Xavier. The Musketeers set a school record with a .977 fielding percentage in 2017 after tying the previous record with a .974 mark in 2016.
He mentored six Xavier players who went on to play professionally, including:
2017 second-round selection Zac Lowther, eighth-rounder Rylan Bannon, 18th-round pick Garrett Schilling and 22nd-round choice Greg Jacknewitz. Dan Rizzie and Andre Jernigan were 13th and 14th-round picks in 2016.
Sprague has previous experience in the American Athletic Conference having served as a volunteer assistant coach at UCF in 2015.
At UCF, Sprague was in charge of the Knights' outfielders and coached first base during games, while aiding the development of the team's infielders and catchers along with hitting responsibilities. The Knights achieved a program-best No. 6 ranking during the 2015 campaign.
Sprague guided seniors JoMarcos Woods and Erik Barber in 2015 to career bests in the outfield and at the plate, garnering recognition on The American All-Conference team. Woods posted a .323 avg. with five homers and 32 RBI, while Barber compiled a .313 avg. and a team-high 11 homers.
Under Sprague in 2014, all three of the Knights outfielders - Erik Barber, Sam Tolleson and Derrick Salberg - were honored to one of The American's three all-conference teams. Salberg tallied a .992 fielding pct., while junior JoMarcos Woods led all position players with a .994 pct.
While at UCF, Sprague aided the development of four players - Eric Skoglund (3rd), Dylan Moore (7th), James Vasquez (25th) and Mitchell Tripp (36th) - who were all selected in the MLB Draft.
Before coming to Orlando, Sprague held the volunteer assistant position during the 2012-13 season at Gardner-Webb. While with the Runnin' Bulldogs, catcher John Harris was a Johnny Bench Award nominee and the team set a program best in fielding pct. at .969.
Sprague has extensive experience as a camp instructor, working at the Marc Wilkins Baseball Academy from 2007-12 and for Cal Ripken Baseball in 2009. He also has served as a camp instructor at Clemson, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, LSU and Mississippi State, among others.
The Mansfield, Ohio, native graduated from Malone (Ohio) University with degrees in business administration and sports management. He played collegiately at Malone and Tiffin University.

See what people are saying about EXACT!
Coach
This camp was unique in that it embraced a competitive atmosphere for the majority of the time the kids were out on the field. It enabled the coaches to see not only a players skills on the diamond, but their competitive make up as well. This aspect of the EXACT Baseball Camp keeps the day up tempo and fun for everyone involved.
Coach, USA Baseball
The most unique thing that makes EXACT different from other camps is how they teach the athletes how to talk to coaches and hold a conversation with a college coach. The camps offer a great opportunity to gain exposure that they wouldn't get otherwise. Not only do they allow players to showcase themselves in front of college coaches, they will also receive an evaluation on how they performed throughout the day.
Parent
My son attending your camp over the weekend and I must tell you that it was an amazing experience for both of us. I was very impressed with the one on one contact with the coaches representing California. This camp has opened my son's eyes to all the talented ball players that are competing for baseball positions within the organizations. He was given guidance to improve his performance on the field as well as in the classroom. I am so glad we were able to take part in this camp, again it was an amazing experience. Also, the attention given to the parents on understanding the process and knowing what to expect was an eye opener to us. I truly look forward to the next one and cannot wait to see how my son has improved on the field. He is also working on improving his GPA, like you mentioned it about their transcripts not how fast they can throw. Thank you for the wonderful insight and we look forward to future camps with ExactSports.
