Cal-Davis
Division 1
With nearly three decades of baseball experience as a coach and professional athlete he was drafted by the New York Yankees shortly before earning a degree at UCLA UC Davis head coach Matt Vaughn selected Mike Hankins as Aggie baseball's new Director of Player Development.
In his role, Hankins will incorporate various methods, tools, analytics and cutting-edge resources to develop players' skills and enhance the team's performance.
"I want to thank Matt Vaughn for giving me a chance to help the players develop and reach their full potential. UC Davis is one of the best academic colleges in the nation, and has a very competitive athletics program," said Hankins.
"I look forward to helping the players, coaches, and baseball program in whatever way I can."
Hankins joins the Aggies after spending the last three years as an assistant baseball coach at American River College. In this role, he strengthened players' fielding skills and improved their swing by using various technology and skill acquisition methods. He also handled all elements of ARC's recruiting program.
He joined the staff at ARC after spending a decade at William Jessup; not only was he the head coach for three seasons, he created and built the program from scratch with help from ex-MLB manager Jerry Manuel and others a tedious process that started in 2008 and culminated in the Warriors' first-ever game in January of 2015. Until his final season at ARC, the team did not have a field of its own.
Hankins was responsible for everything involved with running a college baseball program: recruiting players, designing strength and conditioning programs, practice and game day plans, the team's baseball camps, fundraising and community outreach program.
Prior to creating William Jessup's baseball program, he served as the head baseball coach at Lincoln High School and fueled the program's turnaround from a last-place team into a championship-caliber squad. Not only did he handle all day-to-day operations, he also designed a unique strength, conditioning and injury prevention program that increased player performance, dramatically decreased games lost due to injury and fueled the team's rapid ascension to the top of the league standings.
Hankins' successful coaching career was built on a foundation of experiences, and success, that took place when he competed at the Division I and professional levels.
At UCLA, he was a four-year letter winner who competed in one of the toughest conferences in the nation for legendary baseball coach Gary Adams. It was Adams' tutelage, along with his dad's mentorship and training (he played with the Atlanta Braves), as well as his experience gained throughout his tenure in Westwood that led to the New York Yankees drafting him in 1990.
Throughout his five-year professional career, Hankins won a pair of championships and expanded his baseball knowledge by playing for a list of elite coaches in Tony LaRussa, Ron Washington, Trey Hillman, Brian Butterfield and Rob Thomson.
Hankins' passion for coaching is not limited to the diamond; since 2006, Glen Edwards Middle School has thrived with him as one of its teachers as he also serves as the chair of the Physical Education Department. Incorporating innovative pedagogical methods and fostering learning, while meeting the needs of a diverse student body, is very satisfying for Hankins.
In addition to his bachelor's degree from UCLA and a master's degree from Emporia State University, Hankins is a member of the American Baseball Coaches Association and the National Strength and Conditioning Association. He is certified by Rapsodo in hitting and pitching, by OnBaseU as a hitting specialist, and is K-Vest certified.
Hankins was also certified by the International Youth Conditioning Association as a high school strength and conditioning coach, nutrition specialist, speed and agility specialist and fitness specialist.

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.

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.

The highest ranking the Saints achieved was No. 3 in the 2003 poll. The Saints were a game away from the NAIA World Series, finishing as runners-up in the regionals, in 1993 and 2002. During Barnetts tenure, 37 players have signed professional contracts. He has also seen three former players drafted in the first 10 rounds: Jim Woodrow by the San Francisco Giants in the fifth round (1995), Lonny Landry by the Detroit Tigers in the ninth round (1993) and Andrew "Opie" Brodbeck by the St. Louis Cardinals in the ninth round (2015).

Richard Jackson joined Tennessee's staff as a student assistant pitching coach in the fall of 2019 and was promoted to volunteer assistant coach in June of 2021.
In his role of volunteer assistant, Jackson will also be charged with coordinating and running Tennessee year round baseball camps.
As a student assistant coach in 2020 and 2021, Jackson worked closely with pitching coach [Frank Anderson](https://utsports.com/coaches.aspxrc=2955) to develop one of the country's top pitching staffs.
In 2021, Tennessee's pitching staff ranked in the top 10 nationally in strikeout-to-walk ratio (2nd 3.63), walks allowed/nine innings (3rd 2.49), WHIP (5th 1.16) and ERA (10th 3.51) as the Big Orange won 50 games for just the third time in program history and advanced to the College World Series for the first time since 2005.
During the COVID-shortened 2020 season, the Vols ranked among the top 25 in the nation in a handful of statistical categories, including: WHIP (0.94 - second), ERA (2.00 - fourth), hits allowed/nine innings (6.41 - 16th), shutouts (three - 12th), strikeout-to-walk ratio (4.89 - third) and walks allowed/nine innings (2.06 - third).
Prior to joining Vitello's staff as a student assistant, Jackson was a pitcher for the Vols from 2015-19. Under the guidance of Anderson, Jackson completely changed his delivery prior to the 2019 season and had a breakout campaign in which he helped lead the Big Orange to the NCAA regionals for the first time since 2005.
The Atlanta native went 1-0 and posted careers bests in ERA (1.40), appearances (21), innings pitched (19.1) and strikeouts (21) while holding opponents to a .119 batting average. In his final outing with UT, Jackson threw 3.1 scoreless innings of relief, allowing just one hit while tying a career high with four strikeouts against No. 14 North Carolina in the NCAA Chapel Hill Regional

During his tenure at UMBC, Bowen has vastly improved the Retriever pitching staff, lowering the team ERA from 9.01 in 2012 to 3.30 in 2015, the best in the country over that span. The program set many pitching records in 2015, including Conrad Wozniak setting the best single season ERA (1.48), most strikeouts in a single season (351), and Denis Mikush recording the most saves in a season (6). During his tenure, two relievers earned First Team All-America East honors, with Wozniak earning Pitcher of the Year and Matt Chanin earning Rookie of the Year.

We are extremely happy to have Coach Bordieri with us, said head coach Tony Rossi upon Bordieri's hiring. Over the last several years, he has gained varied experience with several programs which will add valuable knowledge to the hitting and defensive areas of our team.

Under his tutelage, the Hawks hit a whopping .299 while averaging 8.7 runs per contest, and shattered the program single-season records for runs scored (347), RBI (304), and stolen bases (104).

Rouse comes to Chicago after serving as head coach for four years at Salem University (W.Va.), where he led the Tigers to a program record in wins during the 2019 campaign. Five players under Rouse's guidance were named All-East Coast Athletic Conference selections, and the team earned the American Baseball Coaches Association's Team Academic Excellence Award in three of the past four seasons. In 2018, Rouse guided Salem to their best winning percentage since the program's move to NCAA Division II.
"We are thrilled to welcome Addison Rouse to our Saint Xavier Athletics team," said Allison Kern, Director of Athletics at Saint Xavier. "Our program has a storied history and Coach Rouse distinguished himself from an impressive pool of candidates throughout the search process."
"Coach Rouse has a reputation in the baseball community as an individual of integrity who develops his student-athletes on the field, in the classroom, and in the community. Countless individuals spoke to his superior knowledge of the game, and his talent as a recruiter. I am confident that Coach Rouse's experience and positive energy will translate to elite baseball."
"On behalf of me and my family, I am truly honored and humbled to be Saint Xavier University's next head baseball coach," added Rouse. "We know that this is a baseball program with a rich history, invested alumni, supportive community, and championship-caliber expectations."
"We ask for your support, care, and acceptance into the Cougar family; this is a bold and brave move for our family, with God leading the way as we strive to follow His mission and purpose for our life. We are prepared, eager, and all-in on SXU. Family is our creed; culture is what we do. Championships are what we will win."
Prior to Salem, Rouse was head coach at Eastern Nazarene College (Mass.), where he led his players to multiple All-Commonwealth Coast Conference selections and the CCAC Senior Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
Rouse graduated from Brescia University (Ky.), where as a student-athlete he won a KIAC championship and had two appearances in the NAIA tournament as a KIAC All-Academic Team selection.
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.
See what people are saying about EXACT!
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.
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.
