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.

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.
He is the Huskies fifth head baseball coach since the program was resurrected in 1991 and the 14th since the teams first season in 1900.

Aaron Hilt, a former standout collegiate baseball player and seven-year assistant coach at Ashland University, has officially taken the reigns of EMU's pitching staff ahead of the 2022 season.
In his first season on staff, Hilt helped lead the Eagles pitching staff set a new school record for strikeouts in a season (416). The previous high, set in 2012, was 389.
Hilt played a role in helping Eagle hurler Cameron Wagoner get drafted in the 11th round of the 2022 MLB Draft by the Milwaukee Brewers organization. The selection was EMU's fifth MLB draft pick in the last six years. Hilt also guided freshman hurler Adam Falinksi through a great rookie season, as the right-hander led all freshmen in the Mid-American Conference in innings pitched (58.0), strikeouts (61), and complete games (4). Additionally, Falinskis four complete-game efforts ranked third in NCAA DI baseball in 2022.
Hilt spent nearly a decade climbing the coaching ranks and adding responsibilities with Ashland. After returning to his alma mater in 2014, he was promoted to Associate Head Coach in 2018.
The Eagles reached the NCAA Division II postseason four times in Hilt's seven seasons, and made a run to the College World Series in 2019. Hilt has been part of two College World Series teams, also reaching the final stage as a player in 2008. Ashland posted a 230-149 (.607) record during Hilt's run with Ashland.
The 2019 season was a record-setting year for Ashlands hurlers. Ashland won the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference's regular season and tournament championships, as well as the Midwest Regional Tournament title, advancing to the NCAA College World Series. Eagle pitchers combined for a program-record-tying 48 wins, and set a new program and GLIAC standard for team strikeouts in a season with 537.
Hilt was directly responsible for the mentorship of numerous award-winning and now-professional pitchers while at Ashland.

He guided the Yellowjackets in 2014 to the championship game of the Liberty League Tournament, ultimately falling to Union College and ending up one game short of reaching the NCAA Division III Tournament for the first time as a coach. The 2014 Rochester baseball squad ended with a 25-16 record and were 16-8 in the conference, earning the 2nd seed in the Liberty League Tournament.
In 2015, Reina's Yellowjackets were preseason favorites in the Liberty League and ended up with a 26-16 record overall and 17-7 mark in conference play, good enough to reach the conference tournament for the second straight season. The 2015 season includes a new school record winning streak of 17-game which lasted from March 29 through April 19.
Last year, UR finished 22-19 and qualified for the Liberty League playoffs for the third straight season. Rochester had seven All-Liberty League players and four of them were All-Region honorees by the ABCA, including 1st Team selections Nolan Schultz and Steve Eychner.
In 2010, Reina's Yellowjackets repeated as University Athletic Association champions in February, and won their second straight Liberty League regular season title. The previous season was equally as successful, as Reina led Rochester to a school record 30 wins, while being ranked as high as 8th in the country.
Under Reina, Rochester qualified for the Liberty League baseball playoffs 10 times, coming in 2003 (when it was known at the Upstate Collegiate Athletic Association), '04, '06-'10, '12, '14 and '15. In 2005, the Yellowjackets were 21-16-1 overall and finished second at the UAA Championships. Reina and his staff have been recognized for their accomplishments in the Liberty League by earning the league's coveted Coaching Staff of the Year award in 2004, 2007, 2008 and 2009.
Reina picked up his 300th career victory in the 2015 season, coming following a 2-1 win over Clarkson University. He has a career record of 302-242-2 (.573) overall and is 168-104 (.618) in conference play.

In 1995, Reina was selected as the Region III Player of the Year and a second team All- American shortstop. He was awarded a full athletic scholarship to Division I, Long Island University - Brooklyn Campus. A two-year starter for the Blackbirds, Reina had two solid seasons including his junior year where he hit .371 and four grand slams in a season.

Robbie Dombrowski was named Cornell College's head baseball coach in July 2022.
Dombrowski, a 2018 St. Norbert College graduate and three-year starting catcher for the Green Knights, comes to the Hilltop following successful NCAA Division I coaching stints at University of Evansville and Central Michigan University.
For a young coach, this is an unbelievable opportunity and I cant wait to get started, said Dombrowski, a native of Delafield, Wis. I cant imagine walking into a better situation with administration who care about the program. The people are passionate about Cornell athletics. The closeness of the campus community is also a big thing for me.
Dombrowski served as hitting coach during a break-through 2022 season at Evansville. The Purple Aces finished 32-24 overall, placed second in the Missouri Valley Conference and shattered the school record for home runs in a season with 77. Evansville ranked among the league leaders in all offensive categories and landed four all-MVC players under Dombrowskis guidance.
We are very excited to have Robbie join our team at Cornell, said Cornell Interim Director of Athletics Jeff Meeker. Robbies collection of coaching experiences, his coaching philosophy and familiarity with Midwest Conference baseball stood out. Most impressive is his energy and enthusiasm for leading our baseball team. He has a clear vision for success and his approach will impact the young men in our program.
Dombrowski was Director of Baseball Operations at Central Michigan in 2020-21. CMU won the 2021 Mid-American Conference and advanced to the regional final, bowing out with a 42-18 record.
Dombrowski was a four-year letterwinner and two-time team captain at St. Norbert. As a junior, he played a key role on the Green Knights record-breaking 2017 squad that won the MWC Tournament, qualified for the NCAAs and finished 30-13. Dombrowski compiled career totals of 101 hits, 73 RBIs and 61 runs.
St. Norbert won 94 games and finished 47-17 in MWC play during Dombrowskis four playing seasons in De Pere, Wis. The Green Knights claimed MWC North Division titles in 2016, 2017 and 2018. Dombrowski played for Tom Winske, the MWCs all-time leader for baseball coaching wins.
I think my experience in the Midwest Conference is going to pay dividends, Dombrowski said. My expectation is to win the thing regularly. I know the talent is there to do it. Cornell has the foundation in place.
Dombrowski was a member of the Deans List and an academic all-MWC performer. He also earned two varsity letters in football for the Green Knights.
Dombrowski earned bachelors degrees from St. Norbert in biopsychology and communication and media studies. He obtained his masters in sports administration from Belhaven (Jackson, Miss.) University in 2020.
Dombrowski served as hitting and catching coach at Belhaven (2018-19). He returned to St. Norbert in 2019-20 as assistant baseball coach and recruiting coordinator.
Dombrowski was head coach for collegiate summer teams in the Dairyland Collegiate League, Ohio Valley League and Western Canadian Baseball League. His 2021 team, the Creek Mapaches, won the Dairyland Collegiate League.
Dombrowski attended Kettle Moraine High School in Wales, Wis. He led his prep baseball team to the 2013 state tournament and played in the Wisconsin Baseball Coaches Association (WBCA) All-Star Classic.
Dombrowski is motivated to continue his winning ways by instilling a fun culture on and off the field at Cornell.
I want every kid that comes through our program to feel that theyve had the most fun playing baseball in their life, Dombrowski said. They can expect a high-energy guy that will give them my best effort every day. I want them to know this is their program, just as much as it is mine. I want them to see their full potential.
There are no limits for Cornell College baseball. We can take this thing as far as we want to go. I want our players to believe that.
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.

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.
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.
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.
