<strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong> Baseball 2013


Coaching Staff<br />

Tom Arrington<br />

Head Coach<br />

Texas A&M University (1985)<br />

Overall Record: 530-190 (.736), 12 seasons<br />

Leading the baseball program at <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong> means more than performing a job for<br />

Tom Arrington. The way he sees it, he has an obligation to both the <strong>College</strong> and his players to<br />

help them continue their development and extend their playing career.<br />

So far, so good for Arrington, who took over the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong> program as head coach<br />

prior to the 2001 season. Since then, <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong> has made eight trips to the National<br />

Junior <strong>College</strong> Athletic Association (NJCAA) JUCO World Series, including four appearances in<br />

the national title game, culminating as the national runner-up in 2003, 2004, 2010 and 2012.<br />

Last season was another 40-win season for <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong>, as it went 40-24 on the way<br />

to a national runner-up, the second in three years. Arrington earned his 500th career win<br />

in a 3-0 win over Blinn <strong>College</strong> on Feb. 18. Starting pitcher A.J. Glasshof hurled a complete<br />

game no-hitter, the first nine inning no-hitter in the <strong>College</strong>’s history. Six players were<br />

named to the All-Conference team, and, for a fourth consecutive year, Arrington was named<br />

the South Zone Coach of the Year. The team shut out the defending JUCO champions<br />

Navarro <strong>College</strong> 1-0 in the final game of the regional tournament to earn a record 22nd trip<br />

to the national tournament.<br />

The 2011 season ended earlier than Arrington would have liked, but the success of his team<br />

and players can’t be overlooked. It was another 40-win season for <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong>, six<br />

players were drafted in the Major League Baseball (MLB) first-year player draft, and the<br />

pitching duo of Tyler Wright and Miguel Pena went 20-4 overall, earning All-America honors.<br />

The 2010 season was one of the most successful under Arrington. He guided <strong>San</strong> Jac to an<br />

unprecedented 21st trip to the NJCAA World Series, finishing as the national runner-up. Four<br />

players were named to the All-Tournament team in Grand Junction, three earned postseason<br />

honors, and nine were selected in the MLB first-year player draft. <strong>San</strong> Jac’s appearance in the<br />

national championship game was the 12th in program history, and the national runner-up<br />

finish was the seventh. <strong>San</strong> Jac finished the season with a 52-12 overall record.<br />

2009 was, by all measures, a successful season, despite not having a home field to play on<br />

due to construction at JR Harrison Field. Nine baseball student-athletes were named to the<br />

all-conference team, and Arrington was tabbed as the conference coach of the year. Deric<br />

Hawkins and Tommy Collier earned NJCAA All-American honors in leading <strong>San</strong> Jac to a 45-11<br />

record, the conference title, and a tie for fourth at the World Series.<br />

In 2008, Arrington led <strong>San</strong> Jac to a 44-14 record, and saw two of his players from that team<br />

drafted in the majors. <strong>San</strong> Jac advanced to the semifinals of the Region XIV tournament, just<br />

shy of a return trip to the JUCO World Series.<br />

In 2007, Arrington guided <strong>San</strong> Jac to a 46-16 record, complete with another conference<br />

crown, Region XIV tournament title and a third-place finish at the World Series. Along the way,<br />

Arrington surpassed the 300-win mark as head coach at <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong>, where he’s now<br />

492-168 (.745) over seven seasons.<br />

Wayne Graham, now the head coach at Rice University, led <strong>San</strong> Jac to five national titles from<br />

1985 to 1990 and won 586 games over 11 seasons. Graham’s successor, Chris Rupp, took <strong>San</strong><br />

Jac to four consecutive World Series (1997, 1998, 1999, 2000), with appearances in the national<br />

championship game in 1998 and 1999.<br />

While the national title has proven to be elusive to <strong>San</strong> Jac under Arrington’s tutelage,<br />

Arrington and his staff have helped more than 100 of <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> players find homes at the<br />

collegiate and professional levels. For him, it’s all part of his obligation as the team’s leader. “It’s<br />

extremely gratifying to have quality athletes come in here and help us be what we believe is<br />

the premier junior college program in the country,” Arrington said. “First and foremost, they<br />

are getting a quality education and at the same time they are continuing to develop and<br />

showcase their skills to a point where they either move on to the<br />

Division I level on scholarship or sign professional contracts for<br />

large signing bonuses. I think we accomplish those three goals,<br />

including the education, as well as anyone in the nation.”<br />

Arrington is confident the day will come when the national trophy<br />

again comes home to Houston. It will take skill, desire and some<br />

luck, but Arrington is committed to ensuring that current and<br />

future <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong> players are placed in a great position<br />

to be successful. “We have that desire to sustain our performance<br />

on the field, and with that hopefully comes a dominance of<br />

the region,” Arrington said. “With seven trips (to the national<br />

tournament) in 10 years, I think we’re doing that. That highly<br />

coveted first national championship for this group of coaches and<br />

the players is still in our sights. When it’s our year, it will be our year.<br />

I also believe that when we win one, we may win several after that.<br />

Our time is coming.”<br />

With Arrington’s intense focus on the prize, there’s no reason<br />

to doubt his confidence. As a player, Arrington was intent on<br />

becoming the best he could be. His college career included two<br />

seasons at Texas A&M University, and he later pitched at the Triple<br />

A level for both the Montreal Expos and Texas Rangers.<br />

Arrington began his coaching career in 1991 at the <strong>College</strong> of<br />

Mateo. Later came stops at <strong>San</strong> Francisco State University and<br />

<strong>College</strong> of Marin. In 2000, Arrington arrived in Houston as <strong>San</strong><br />

Jac’s assistant coach, where he focused on the pitchers. Nearly<br />

two seasons later, he was named head coach, and in the Spring of<br />

2011, was named the athletic director for the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />

North Campus.<br />

“We look at our program as one of the best in the country,”<br />

Arrington said. “We also have an obligation to make sure these<br />

young men get the best education possible. That’s simply a<br />

personal belief of mine. We have to prepare these guys for<br />

lifelong success, not just baseball success. They have to be able<br />

to deal with success or failure on and off the field. We live in a<br />

demanding society, so we make sure our players are prepared.”<br />

The Mill Valley, Calif., native began his playing career at <strong>College</strong><br />

of Marin where he was an all-conference selection. He then<br />

played two years at Texas A&M University where he earned<br />

two letters, was all-conference, and the Southwest Conference<br />

tournament most Valuable Player. He also earned the C.E. “Pat”<br />

Olsen MVP award. Arrington holds a master’s degree from <strong>San</strong><br />

Francisco State University.<br />

Arrington played professionally for the Triple A team of the<br />

Texas Rangers; in Guadalajara, Mexico; for the Salt Lake<br />

Trappers; and the Single A farm team of the Montreal Expos.<br />

The 49-year-old Arrington and his wife, Marya, have a son Alden<br />

(13) and a daughter Anya Lily (10).<br />

Jimmy Durham<br />

Assistant Coach<br />

Lubbock Christian (1978)<br />

Eighth season<br />

Assistant coach Jimmy Durham, now in his eight season with <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong><br />

<strong>College</strong>, understands plenty about winning. In 2005, Durham was an<br />

assistant coach at New Mexico Junior <strong>College</strong> when the Thunderbirds<br />

won the National Junior <strong>College</strong> Athletic Association (NJCAA) JUCO World<br />

Series. He came to <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong> with the same goal in mind and<br />

knows that <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong> is on target – especially after the success of<br />

the past several seasons.<br />

“I think the standard for excellence and for winning at a high level has<br />

been set, and the players who come to <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong> understand<br />

that and in turn do what’s necessary to be successful,” noted Durham. “You<br />

do have to have some luck to win the national title, but you also<br />

have to have the players and the dedication to be great. We have both of<br />

those here.”<br />

A former high school standout in the Houston area at Madison High<br />

School, Durham played collegiately at Ranger Junior <strong>College</strong> and Lubbock<br />

Christian. He then went on to coach at the high school level at Livingston<br />

and Clements. He knows the area well and has used his connections to<br />

help <strong>San</strong> Jac recruit the best talent available. On the field, <strong>San</strong> Jac has used<br />

that talent to win big.<br />

“We push our players to be better, but they expect that from us,” Durham<br />

said. “That’s why they come here. The players are looking for future<br />

success in the Division I ranks and perhaps the professional level. <strong>San</strong><br />

<strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong> is a great place to continue that growth as a player.”<br />

Durham holds a bachelor of science degree from Lubbock Christian and a<br />

master’s degree from the University of Houston. He has six children: Tyler<br />

(22), Maggie (21), Kyle (19), Andrew (16), AnnaMae (14), and Hannah (13).<br />

Jimmy and his wife Shannon were married on July 23, 2011.<br />

D.J. Wilson<br />

Assistant Coach<br />

University of Houston (2004)<br />

17th season<br />

Entering his 17th season at <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong>, assistant coach D.J. Wilson<br />

has seen a tremendous amount of success with the program. Since coming<br />

to <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong>, Wilson has been part of 12 national tournament<br />

teams, including six that have played for the national championship. “I feel<br />

very fortunate to be part of such a winning program, and having been to<br />

the JUCO World Series 12 times,” said Wilson. “Although we fell just short of<br />

a national title in those six games, I am still very proud of all of the players<br />

on those teams. Each and every time I’ve been to the JUCO World Series, it<br />

has felt like the first time, and has been very special for me.”<br />

Wilson feels fortunate to have helped coach numerous players that have<br />

gone on to play in the professional ranks, and some that have played in<br />

the big leagues. “As we work hard to continue to get the top talent from<br />

the area, the state, and across the nation, I have the privilege of working<br />

with great players and great young men every season.”<br />

Wilson has been a part of nine conference championships (1999, 2002,<br />

2003, 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012) while at <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong>,<br />

and contributes a major part of the program’s success to the <strong>College</strong>’s<br />

administration. “We have had some success getting top student-athletes<br />

into our baseball program and the support from our administration and<br />

faculty go a long way toward their success on and off the field,” noted<br />

Wilson. “We continue every year to help our players be successful on<br />

the field, and prepare them for success at the next level. They are also<br />

prepared to move on to major NCAA Division I universities and four-year<br />

colleges, and get a chance to earn an education through athletics. We are<br />

very proud of the number of baseball student-athletes that continue on to<br />

the next level both academically and professionally.”<br />

Wilson also coached in the Karl Young Collegiate League in Houston,<br />

where he won the league championship twice as head coach of the<br />

Rough Necks from 1998 to 2004.<br />

The 38-year-old Wilson played collegiately at <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong> before<br />

moving on to the University of Houston where he graduated with a<br />

Bachelor of Arts in English. He holds a Master of Education in Health and<br />

Kinesiology from the University of Texas at Tyler. He and his wife, Alisha,<br />

have three daughters, Kylee (12), Madeline (6), and Leighton (1).<br />

Coaching Staff<br />

Kory Koehler<br />

Assistant Coach<br />

University of Houston (2006)<br />

13th season<br />

A former catcher at <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong> (1999-2000), Kory Koehler is<br />

now entering his 13th season as an assistant coach with the team. As a<br />

player, Koehler got to play in the JUCO World Series, and during his time<br />

as a coach, the team has made eight trips to Grand Junction. Obviously,<br />

Koehler appreciates the success he’s been a part of as a coach. Winning at<br />

a consistent level certainly involves having talented players and crafted<br />

coaches, but Koehler has seen <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong> go the extra step.<br />

“The game slows down a lot when you’re coaching,” Koehler said. “You<br />

understand the intricacies a lot more as a coach. It’s a chess match<br />

between the two teams. I think we do a good job of controlling our<br />

emotions and letting the game come to us as opposed to trying to force<br />

the action. “I have played and coached along with some amazing coaches,”<br />

noted Koehler. “It was a pleasure to be a part of Tom Arrington’s 500th win<br />

here at <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong>. He has been a mentor and great friend, and I<br />

am fortunate to be a part of <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong> baseball.”<br />

The 33-year-old Koehler, originally from North Bay, New York, graduated<br />

from the University of Houston in 2006 with a Bachelor of Science, and in<br />

2008 with a Master of Education in Physical Education. Prior to coaching<br />

at <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong>, he coached Adrean Post 625, Oneida County<br />

American Legion in Utica, N.Y., and the League City Hornets and Stan<br />

Musial Saints in Houston.<br />

Kory is the physical education lead faculty and wellness director on the<br />

<strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong> North Campus. He and his wife, Erika, were married in<br />

November 2006, and welcomed their first child, Keaton Jax, in April 2011.<br />

Jason Krug<br />

Assistant Coach<br />

Missouri Valley <strong>College</strong> (1995)<br />

Fifth season<br />

Jason Krug is in his fifth season with the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong> coaching staff.<br />

Prior to joining the <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong> program, he spent two seasons<br />

as a volunteer assistant coach at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette<br />

where he assisted in the coaching of the middle infielders and hitters. In<br />

2007, the Ragin Cajuns won the Sun Belt Conference championship and<br />

advanced to the NCAA regional tournament.<br />

In December 2007, Krug was named the head coach of the Edenton (N.C.)<br />

Steamers in the Coastal Plains Summer Collegiate League. During the<br />

summer of 2008, the Steamers won the first-half divisional championship<br />

with an overall record of 20-7. For his efforts, he was named one of the<br />

<strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong> is as prolific as any other two-year school in the nation when it comes to sending players to the professional ranks. In the last two years,<br />

eight <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong> baseball players have been selected in the Major League Baseball (MLB) First-Year Player Draft. Houston area baseball fans are well<br />

versed in the success of former players Andy Pettitte and Roger Clemens, but the list doesn’t end there. Pitchers Matt Albers of the Arizona Diamondbacks,<br />

Jesse Crain (Chicago White Sox), Mike Gonzalez of the Milwaukee Brewers, and Lucas Luetge (Seattle Mariners); outfielder Kevin Russo (New York Yankees);<br />

<strong>San</strong> Francisco first baseman Brandon Belt; and Mets third baseman Brandon Hicks are also former <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong> players on major league rosters<br />

heading into spring training.<br />

Albers was originally drafted by the Houston Astros in the 23rd round of the June 2001 First Year Player Draft, and is a current member of the Arizona<br />

Diamondbacks. Since his debut on July 25, 2006, Albers has gone 22-30 with a 4.68 ERA.<br />

Crain has been in the majors since making his debut in August 2004. He is 43-27 overall with a 3.22 ERA and four saves. Last season, with the Chicago White Sox,<br />

he went 2-3 appearing in 51 games and 48 innings.<br />

Luetge was called up to the Mariners in 2012 and was part of a six-pitcher no-hitter versus the Dodgers on June 8, 2012.<br />

Russo made his major league debut on May 8, 2010. The 2010 season was his last in the major leagues, and he hit .184 in 31 games and 49 plate appearances. He<br />

spent the 2012 season at AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, batting .284 (114-for-402) with 57 runs, 21 doubles, three triples, 36 RBI and 15 stolen bases in 101 games.<br />

Belt helped the <strong>San</strong> Francisco Giants win the 2012 World Series. He made his major league debut on March 31, 2011, with the Giants, and has been with the<br />

organization ever since. On the 2012 season, in 145 games, he hit .275 with seven home runs, 56 RBIs, 47 runs scored, and 12 stolen bases. In the final game of<br />

the 2012 World Series, he hit an RBI triple in the second inning to put the Giants up 1-0.<br />

Hicks was called up to the majors in May 2010 by the Atlanta Braves, and has been back and forth between the majors and minors since then. Last season, he<br />

appeared in 22 games for the Oakland Athletics, hitting .172.<br />

Nick Stavinoha is a member of the Hirpshima Toyo Carp of the Japanese professional league.<br />

The commitment to excellence of the<br />

<strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong> baseball program<br />

is evident by the continuing efforts to<br />

keep John Ray Harrison Field on the<br />

forefront of junior college baseball. A<br />

lighting system and gated entrance were<br />

installed in 2002, and in 2009, a major<br />

overhaul of the filed was completed.<br />

After the 1993 season, major<br />

renovations took place to John Ray<br />

Harrison Field. The <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> Board<br />

of Trustees voted unanimously for the<br />

improvements. The renovations centered<br />

around new dressing rooms connected<br />

to the home and visitor dugouts, with 30<br />

lockers and showers. The dugouts, a 15-<br />

foot warning track around the entire field,<br />

an improved draining system, public rest<br />

rooms, and a new pressbox / concession<br />

stand were also included.<br />

<strong>San</strong> Jac baseball moved to its current<br />

home at the North campus over 20 years<br />

ago. Prior to that, all home games were<br />

played at the Central campus.<br />

Nichols Gymnasium<br />

<strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong> North Campus<br />

5800 Uvalde Road, Houston, TX 77049<br />

281-998-6150<br />

The <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong> North Campus serves the Sheldon, Galena Park, and<br />

Channelview Independent School Districts. Located at 5800 Uvalde Road in Houston,<br />

Texas, the North Campus is nestled on more than 105 wooded acres convenient to the<br />

communities of North Shore, Channelview, Sheldon, Galena Park, and <strong>Jacinto</strong> City. The<br />

North Campus houses the <strong>College</strong>’s baseball and women’s basketball teams, as well as<br />

the <strong>College</strong> debate team.<br />

In addition to providing quality education, <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong> North also serves as a<br />

convenient hub for its community, generally known as the North Channel area, due<br />

to the proximity to the thriving Houston Ship Channel. Local service organizations<br />

and business groups often hold regular meetings at the North Campus, including the<br />

North Shore Rotary Club, the North Channel Area Chamber of Commerce, <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong><br />

Pilot Club, Wendell Ley Family YMCA, League of United Latin American Citizens, and<br />

Head Start.<br />

The North Channel area is one of the most demographically diverse parts of Harris<br />

County, where vibrant mixes of people from various backgrounds live and work. Like<br />

the community, the North Campus is a “melting pot” of students representing a variety<br />

of nationalities.<br />

The economy of the North Channel area is also diverse, with a strong representation of<br />

small and medium businesses, petrochemical plants, maritime industries, warehouse<br />

and distribution centers, fabricating operations, and hospital, retail and service<br />

companies. To prepare students for the global marketplace, and to ensure companies<br />

have a well-trained work force, the North campus offers high quality academic<br />

instruction. In addition, fast-track training in a wide range of technical and health<br />

science programs is available. Programs range from diesel, automotive collision and<br />

welding technologies, to vocational nursing, engineering design graphics, culinary arts,<br />

and cosmetology.<br />

<strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong> North has earned a well-deserved reputation for maintaining a<br />

tradition of academic excellence and high standards. Three of the <strong>College</strong>’s technical<br />

programs — information technology, real estate and paralegal — have earned the<br />

prestigious recognition of Exemplary Workforce Education Program rating by the Texas<br />

Higher Education Coordinating Board.<br />

Students at <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong> North learn from master<br />

teachers and engage with a rich academic curriculum that<br />

prepares them to enter the diverse workforce and for transfer<br />

to four-year universities.<br />

To help students achieve their academic goals, the North<br />

Campus enjoys rich collaboration with secondary schools<br />

of the North Channel community. Some of the many<br />

initiatives developed with local school districts include the<br />

Modified Early <strong>College</strong> Academy (MECA), dual credit, shared<br />

counselors, Scholars Academy, and Upward Bound Math<br />

and Science.<br />

A notable collaboration between the North Campus and<br />

local secondary schools is TRIO, three federally-funded<br />

programs that provide services and support for low-income<br />

households, and for students who will be the first in their<br />

families to graduate from college. The TRIO programs provide<br />

academic, career and financial counseling to participants and<br />

encourage them to graduate from high school and continue<br />

to earn postsecondary degrees.<br />

Student-athletes in baseball and women’s basketball<br />

play competitively in the National Junior <strong>College</strong> Athletic<br />

Association (NJCAA). The women’s basketball team has<br />

advanced to the Region XIV playoffs three times since 2002,<br />

while the baseball team continues its tradition of excellence<br />

year after year, having made 22 overall appearances at the<br />

JUCO World Series, with a national runner up finish in 2010<br />

and 2012.<br />

By serving as a meeting place for area organizations,<br />

providing high caliber education in academic and technical<br />

courses, celebrating a diverse and inclusive community, and<br />

by collaborating with local secondary schools, <strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong><br />

<strong>College</strong>’s North Campus responds to the unique needs of the<br />

North Channel communities and helps to ensure the growing<br />

<strong>San</strong> <strong>Jacinto</strong> <strong>College</strong> community remains robust and thriving.<br />
