The Flames posted a school record for wins with a 42-19 campaign in 2010 and have won 35 or more games in three of his four seasons at the helm of program. Liberty notched a 145-90-1 overall record during his first four seasons on Liberty Mountain. The Flames have also posted a 68-33 Big South mark over the span. His .673 conference winning percentage is the best of any head coach in program history. This past June, Toman saw seven players from his Flames squad selected during the 2011 Major League Baseball Draft, the most players chosen in a single draft in the 38-year history of the program. The number ties the 2007 and 2010 Coastal Carolina squads for the Big South Conference record for players picked in a single draft. The impressive strides made by the program have not gone unnoticed. During November of 2010, Rivals. com cited Liberty as one of college baseball’s top 10 rising programs. Toman was named the sixth head coach in the history of the Liberty Baseball program in June 2007, after 11 seasons as the senior member of Ray Tanner’s coaching staff at South Carolina. Toman worked a total of 18 years alongside Tanner, dating back to the 1990 season at N.C. State. During his time at South Carolina, Toman served as recruiting coordinator and coached the catchers. Known as one of the top recruiters in college baseball, the 22-year college coaching veteran was named the 2002 Baseball America/American Baseball Coaches Association Assistant Coach of the Year. Before joining the Gamecock staff in 1996, Toman served under Tanner for seven years at N.C. State. A native of Monroeville, Pa., Toman is married to the former Ashley McLaughlin of Florence, S.C., and lives in Forest, Va. They have three children - Caroline (14), Charlie Mac (11), and Tucker (8).
