Division 1
Oxendine joined the Longwood baseball program in August, 2014 as an assistant coach, becoming the first coaching hire by head coach Ryan Mau, who took over the storied Lancer baseball program in July 2014.

Among those is slugger Kyri Washington, who led the Big South with 15 home runs as a junior in 2015 and parlayed that success into a 23rd-round draft selection by the Boston Red Sox in the 2015 draft. Washington, who hit just .255 with 13 home runs in two seasons prior to Oxendines arrival, set career highs with a .279 batting average, .357 on base percentage, 52 RBI, 40 runs and 25 walks in just one year under Oxendine.

Prior to his stint with the Chanticleers, he held collegiate coaching positions at Richmond (2007-10), Alabama (2006-07) and UNC Wilmington (2005-06). Additionally, he was the owner and operator of the Coastal Carolina Baseball Academy in Myrtle Beach, S.C. (2011), and was a hitting coach for the Single-A Myrtle Beach Pelicans in the Texas Rangers system in 2011. As volunteer assistant at Coastal Carolina, Oxendine was a member of the Big South Coach of the Year staff that led the Chanticleers to a 42-19 record, the Big South regular season and tournament championships and an NCAA Regional berth. Coastal Carolina swept the conference tournament, giving Oxendine five total Big South titles including the four he won as a catcher at Coastal. During his four-year stint at Richmond, Oxendine coached the Spiders catchers, outfielders and baserunners while overseeing a unit that finished in the Atlantic 10s top-five in steals in 2009 and 2010. In addition to Adam McConnell, who led all NCAA rookies with 31 steals in 2009, Oxendine also mentored All-Atlantic 10 catcher Chris Cowell who in 2010 hit .311 with 17 home runs and 52 RBI. Among Oxendines top recruiting successes at Richmond were Chris Bates, a left-handed pitcher selected in the 15th round by the Milwaukee Brewers in 2010; McConnell, a shortstop who was drafted in the 29th round by the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2012; and Cowell, a catcher drafted in the 34th round by the Colorado Rockies in 2012. Oxendine also has a Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) title under his belt after coaching UNC Wilmington to the CAA Tournament title in 2006. He also has experience as a head coach, holding that post with the Front Royal Cardinals of the Valley Summer Baseball League in 2006.

Vodenlich enters his 14th season at the helm of the UW-Whitewater baseball program in 2016-17. He has taken the Warhawks to heights unreached prior to his arrival on campus. While the Whitewater program has had longstanding success, Vodenlich has set a new standard, turning the Warhawks into a NCAA Division III college baseball power. During Vodenlichs 13 seasons as head coach, the Warhawks have won nine WIAC championships, qualified for the NCAA Championships 11 times and appeared in the NCAA Division III College World Series six times, including winning the 2014 and 2005 NCAA Division III National Championships. In 2016, Vodenlich became the 43rd active Division III coach to reach 500 career wins in the Warhawks' NCAA regional-clinching 11-0 victory over Rose-Hulman (Ind.). UW-Whitewater reached the NCAA Championship round for the fourth time since 2008 and the sixth time under Vodenlich. In 2015, Vodenlich passed his former head coach and current mentor Jim Miller for the most coaching wins in program history, picking up career victory No. 417 at UW-Whitewater in the team's first game at UW-Oshkosh on April 7. In that same year, he became the youngest inductee into the Wisconsin Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame. Vodenlich earned his 400th career victory during the team's 2014 World Series apperance. The Warhawks knocked off SUNY Cortland (N.Y.) 9-6 to make Vodenlich the second coach in program history to reach the milestone. Vodenlich has been on the coaching staff for all 11 of UW-Whitewaters winningest seasons, with nine of the 11 coming during his time as head coach. During the 2000s, the Warhawks had the 11th most victories in NCAA Division III. Off the field, Vodenlich has been honored as the WIAC Coach of the Year seven times, was named the NCAA Division III National Coach of the Year by the American Baseball Coaches Association in 2005 and 2014, and was honored as the NCAA Regional Coach of the Year in 2004, 2005, 2008, 2010 and 2014. In 2007, Vodenlich was inducted into the UW-Whitewater Athletic Hall of Fame as a former student-athlete and was awarded with the WBCA College Coach of the Year in 2004, 2008 and 2010. He was tabbed the WBCAs Man of the Year in 2005. Players coming to play under Vodenlich can expect to grow thanks to his determined player development exertions. Twelve student-athletes have developed into All-Americans during Vodenlichs tenure. Since joining the UW-Whitewater program as a player in 1989 and the coaching staff in 1994, 28 former Warhawks have signed professional contracts, the first being former Major League closer Bob Wickman, who Vodenlich caught at UW-Whitewater. In addition to his great impact on the game in the United States, Vodenlich also is an internationally known clinician, conducting coaching clinics in Germany, England, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia and Hungary. Before joining the coaching ranks, Vodenlich was one of the best players to ever take the field for the Warhawks. Playing from 1989-1992, Vodenlich finished with a .397 career batting average, good for third all-time in school history. His .456 average in 1991 is the second best single season average in program history. Vodenlich was an ABCA All-American in 1991 and 1992, the first two-time All-American at UW-Whitewater. Following his collegiate career, Vodenlich went on to play professionally in Europe, winning the Slovenian National Championship in 1994. Vodenlich joined Jim Millers coaching staff as an assistant coach in 1994 and stayed on the staff until 1998, when he was named the head coach at Edgewood College. Prior to Vodenlichs tenure at Edgewood, the Eagles had an all-time record of 33-133 and never had seen a winning season. Vodenlich needed just two seasons to change that, setting a school record for wins in his first season before shattering it the following season, helping Edgewood to its first winning campaign in program history. Following the 1999 season, Vodenlich returned to UW-Whitewater and rejoined Millers staff as an assistant coach. With Millers retirement coming following the 2003 season, the Warhawks didnt have to look far to find their seventh head coach in school history. Its a hire the school certainly hasnt regretted. Naming Vodenlich head coach for the 2004 season immediately paid off for the university as the Warhawks set a new school record for wins and made just their second trip to the NCAA Division III College World Series. Under Vodenlichs guidance in 2005, UW-Whitewater set a new school record for wins with 45, fewest losses with 7 and made another trip to Appleton for the College World Series. This time around the Warhawks werent denied, claiming their first national championship. UW-Whitewater qualified for the College World Series in 2008 and again in 2011. The Warhawks returned to Appleton in 2014, winning the program's second-ever NCAA Division III championship to complete the institution's "trifecta" of national titles during the 2013-14 academic year. The Warhawks' football, men's basketball and baseball teams all won national championships to become the first school at any level of the NCAA to win those three titles in the same year. With a bachelor's in marketing and public relations from UW-Whitewater in 1992, Vodenlich earned his master's in business administration from the university in 1994.

Brandon Crum was named the 24th head baseball coach in Allegheny program history on August 28, 2017.
A native of neighboring Saegertown, Pennsylvania, Crum returned to Allegheny after serving as the team's assistant coach from 2012-16.
Crum spent the 2017 season as head coach at Mercyhurst University-North East, and quickly made his mark. After a slow start, he rallied his squad to nine wins in its final 12 games of the regular season to advance to the NJCAA Region III playoffs. The Saints then swept rival Monroe Community College to earn their first regional championship since 2014, and advance to the NJCAA District Tournament.
After orchestrating the mid-season turnaround, Crum was named the NJCAA Region III Coach of the Year, while seven Saints earned All-Region accolades, highlighted by Dalton Donachie, who was named both NJCAA Regional Pitcher of the Year and Mercyhurst North East Male Athlete of the Year.
From 2012-16, Crum served as Allegheny's recruiting coordinator, while also handling the team's pitchers and catchers, calling pitches and in-game defenses, assisting with designing and implementing off-season strength and conditioning programs, and assisting with the organization of a number of youth camps and clinics. The Gators went a combined 97-60 overall, and 48-23 in the North Coast Athletic Conference over the span, qualifying for the NCAC Championship Tournament in three of the four years, including a trip to the conference title game in 2013.
Over Crum's first stint with the Gators, 12 players earned a total of 20 All-NCAC accolades, highlighted by [Joe Killian](http://alleghenygators.com/roster.aspxrp_id=5214) '16, who was named the 2013 NCAC Newcomer of the Year, 2016 NCAC Player of the Year, and 2016 D3Baseball.com All-America, while earning four straight All-NCAC selections. [Chase Boyer](http://alleghenygators.com/roster.aspxrp_id=5848) '17 was a three-time All-NCAC pick and was tabbed the conference's Pitcher of the Year in 2016, as the Gators swept the league's major awards for the first time since 1993. Killian and Boyer were also named All-Region by both D3Baseball.com and the American Baseball Coaches Association in 2016, marking the second straight season for Killian to earn the honor, after he joined teammate Zach Gray on the list in 2015.
Crum began his affiliation with Allegheny baseball in 2010, when he worked as a volunteer assistant coach leading to his appointment to full-time assistant in August 2012. During his time as a volunteer assistant, he also served as Director of Athletics and Facilities at nearby Conneaut Area School District, where he was responsible for coordinating the scheduling for all athletic events, including officials and transportation, developing the district's athletic budget, and overseeing the hiring of district coaches.
He started his coaching career at the American Legion level, as he manned the helm of Saegertown's French Creek Valley squad for nine seasons, accumulating a record of 150-30. His teams won 20 or more games in six different years and earned five district championships, while advancing to the Region 8 title game in four straight seasons between 2011-14.
A catcher, Crum played collegiately at Gannon University, serving as a three-year team captain. A 2010 All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference selection at catcher, he was named to the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) All-Academic team in 2008, before earning the same accolade in the PSAC in both 2009 and '10. He ranks in the top-10 in Gannon career history in fielding percentage (.970), putouts (444), and hit-by-pitches (24), while he owns two of the program's top five single-season totals in sacrifice bunts.
Crum graduated from Gannon in 2010 with a B.S. in Finance, before going on to earn a Masters in Sports Administration from Lock Haven University.
He and wife Ashley are the parents of son Griffin and daughter Zoe, and reside in Woodcock Township.

As part of our COVID-19 safety plan, the indoor sessions traditionally held on the first day of camp will be shared online.
Sessions will be accessible for the week prior to camp. They are available on-demand and can be completed at the athlete's
convenience.
This approach allows us to continue offering these valuable sessions so athletes arrive to camp ready to maximize the experience,
while still maintaining a safe experience.

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.

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.
