Jim Toman
Jim Toman enters his fifth year at
Liberty after posting the highest winning percentage (.617) of any head
baseball coach in program history during his first four years in Lynchburg.
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).

STADIUM TO BE
LOCATED NEXT TO THE
RECENTLY EXPANDED
WILLIAMS STADIUM.
The 2012 season will be
Liberty baseball’s last year at
Worthington Stadium. A new
baseball facility adjacent to
recently expanded Williams
Stadium, home of Liberty
football, and Osborne
Stadium, home of both Liberty soccer and track & field programs, is set to open for
the 2013 home opener. The construction of the new baseball facility is the latest
dramatic improvement to athletics facilities at Liberty in recent years. The stadium
could eventually seat up to 2,500 spectators and will enhance a developing
athletics corridor at the University.
The intercollegiate baseball stadium will
replace Worthington Stadium, which
has been the team’s home since 1979.
Liberty will close out its time at the
complex this year with an eight-game
homestand from April 24-May 13,
highlighted by Big South Conference
series against Coastal Carolina and
High Point.
