Four Flames Taken in MLB Draft • Liberty had four players taken in the 2013 Major League Baseball Draft, including pitcher Danny Grauer who returned to the Flames roster for 2014. • Outfielder Ryan Cordell was selected in the 11th round by the Texas Rangers, while catcher Trey Wimmer was chosen in the 23rd round by the Chicago White Sox. Pitcher Josh Richardson was selected in the 26th round by the San Diego Padres and Grauer was taken by the Cincinnati Reds in the 38th round. • Liberty has had three or more players chosen in each of the last three MLB Drafts. In 2011, seven Flames were selected, setting a Big South Conference and program record. • With the selection of four Flames in last year’s draft, Liberty has had 53 players selected in the MLB Draft during the 40-year history of its program. • The Flames have had a player chosen in each draft since 2000 and have had 14 players taken in the past three years. Flames Continue Strong Defensive Effort in 2013 • Over the past five seasons, the Flames have proved the old baseball adage that pitching and defense win games. • Liberty posted a .972 fielding percentage in 2013, three percentage points lower than the school record of .975 set in 2012. • The Flames have posted a .971 or better fielding percentage in four out the five seasons. The only season during the stretch that Liberty didn’t have a .970 or better percentage was in 2011 when the Flames posted a .968 fielding percentage. • As a team, opponents had only 51 percent stolen base success rate and swiped 27 bases, the fewest stolen bases in the past nine years. • Catcher Trey Wimmer led the base path defense, throwing out 25 runners attempting to steal to lead the Big South in 2013. He caught 51 percent of would-be base stealers attempting to steal. Toman Guides Flames to Best Division I Mark Over First Six Years • With a .619 winning percentage, head coach Jim Toman’s Flames have posted the highest NCAA Division I winning percentage of any head coach during his first six years at Liberty. Toman has guided the Flames to a 223-137-1 during his tenure. • Liberty has posted 35 or more wins in five of its six seasons under Toman. • Toman guided the Flames to the program’s first Big South Championship since 2000 and Liberty’s first appearance in a NCAA Regional final last season.
