Raabe, climbing from last place in the MIAC in 2011 (.934) to first in 2015 (.970) "I have known Brian for a long time, as I followed him from New Ulm to the University of Minnesota and throughout the big leagues. Brian had an exceptional amount of passion for the game and I believe he is in his element coaching in the dugout. I have the utmost respect for Brian and believe his tenacity and wisdom will have these players and this team heading in the right direction for years to come." --Terry Ryan, Minnesota Twins General Manager "When you put the heart, mind, and desire together like Brian did, you can tell why he was the best player Phil Roof (former Twins AAA manager) ever coached. I never coached him, but I always respected him. I coached against him, but I always thought he was a player that you wanted on your team. He was always a team guy and he will take those great attributes and transfer them over to college - attributes that are necessary in a college setting. Brian Raabe is a coach that I would love my son to play for because he's going to be a quality person, he's not going to put himself above the team, he's not going to have the ego that does sometimes permeate baseball organizations. Brian is a good man." -- Bill Springman, Hitting Coordinator for Minnesota Twins and former college coach

During his tenure at MSU, the Spartans have had 23 MLB Draft selections, including a program-record eight in 2015. Sikes helped tutor a Spartan offense that posted the Big Ten's third-best batting average (.283) in 2016.

Individually, Anthony Cheky led the Big Ten in steals with 29, while Bliase Salter ranked third in RBIs with 50. The Spartans ranked in the top four in the Big Ten in in 2013 in several key offensive categories, including: batting average (.281), slugging percentage (.377) and on-base percentage (.357).

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.

Mike Kunigonis has brought a grinders mentality and work ethic to the NIU baseball program in five seasons as head coach.
In 2019, Kunigonis led NIU to the Mid-American Conference Baseball Tournament where the Huskies reached the semifinals and won two games for the first time since 2008. NIU was 20-36 on the season and compiled a 14-12 MAC record, tied for the third-most conference wins in program history. On May 11, Kunigonis won his 100th career game as the Huskies shutout Toledo 4-0.
The Huskies went 20-36 in 2018, highlighted by a 5-3 win at Notre Dame on March 20 for the program's first win over the Fighting Irish since 1995. In 2017, Kunigonis led NIU to a 17-38 overall record and a 11-13 record in the Mid-American Conference. NIU hit for a combined .248 average with a .327 slugging percentage and got on base at a .358 clip. The Huskies averaged eight hits and 4.45 runs per game.
Kunigonis laid the Huskieball foundation for his program right away, during his first season in 2015, as the Huskies swept its opening weekend with a pair of wins over South Dakota State and another over Niagara. NIU would go on to finish the season 22-33, recording a 10-17 mark in Mid-American Conference play. The team improved its batting average by 32 points in Kunigonis first season and scored 1.24 more runs per game. The Huskies swept their midweek series with UIC, defeating the in-state foe home and away. NIU won 24 games in 2016, going 14-10 in the MAC West to finish second behind Ball State. The Huskies won seven straight games at the end of April into May that season, highlighted by a sweep of Bowling Green in which NIU outscored the Falcons 28-4 with back-to-back shutouts to close the series.
Kunigonis, a veteran Division I coach who spent seven years on the staff at Virginia Tech, was named head coach of the Northern Illinois University baseball program on January 5, 2015.
In seven years at Virginia Tech, Kunigonis worked his way up from volunteer assistant coach (2008-10), to assistant coach (2010-13) before being named associate head coach and recruiting coordinator his final two seasons ago. The Hokies twice advanced to the NCAA Regionals during his time in Blacksburg, earning a No. 1 seed and regional host bid in 2013 when they finished as Atlantic Coast Conference runners-up. He served as Virginia Techs hitting coach from 2010-15, and the Hokies ranked among the countrys top offenses in each of those seasons. Tech had the top offense in the ACC in 2014 and ranked in the top 25 nationally in five offensive categories in 2013. The 2011 Virginia Tech team ranked in the top 10 nationally in multiple categories as well.
Over his six seasons, the Hokies had 20 players chosen in the MLB draft, with at least two players drafted each year. In 2010, eight Virginia Tech players were drafted, while six Hokies were selected in the 2013 draft. During Kunigonis time with the Hokies, nine position players were chosen in the draft.
Prior to Virginia Tech, Kunigonis spent one season on the staff at Radford University in Virginia, where he coached the outfielders, worked with the hitters and directed the camps.
Kunigonis experience includes five seasons at two institutions in western New York. He was the assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Canisius College in Buffalo during the 2005, 2006 and 2007 seasons, where he also coached the hitters, catchers and outfielders and was also on the staff at Niagara University in a similar capacity for two seasons. Both teams advanced to the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament during Kunigonis time in their dugouts.
As a player, Kunigonis played four seasons at American International College. A native of Worcester, Massachusetts, Kunigonis earned a bachelors degree in criminal justice and sociology from AIC in 2001, and completed his masters degree in sports administration at Canisius in 2006. Kunigonis is married to the former Amy Miller and the couple has one daughter, Mary Alice.

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.
