Baseball Facilities/Services
Indoor Facilities
During Butler’s cold weather practice period (mid-January through mid-February), the Bulldogs go indoors to train in Butler’s 32,000 square foot “bubble”
facility. The bubble is also used for winter baseball camps. Butler players also
train at The Sportzone, a state-of-the-art indoor facility located on the west side of
Indianapolis. The Sportzone features 40,000 square feet of artificial turf with multiple batting cages, pitching mounds, basketball courts and weight rooms. The
Bulldogs also have off-season access to the batting cages at Victory Field.
“We are fortunate in Indianapolis to have warmer weather than most Midwest
baseball programs,” head coach Steve Farley said. “If we do get a cold spell, it’s
nice to know that we have great facilities to use.”
Strength & Conditioning
All of Butler’s athletes benefit from an extensive strength and conditioning
program under the direction of a full-time strength and conditioning coordinator.
The purpose of Butler’s program is to decrease injury potential, while increasing
performance potential. The strength and conditioning program stresses flexibility,
agility, jumping skills, speed and reaction time, as well as strength. The program
utilizes free weights, strength machinery, manual resistance and additional innovative techniques to help maximize the chance for Butler athletes to succeed.
The center of Butler’s strength and conditioning program is the 4,000 squarefoot weight training room located in Hinkle Fieldhouse. The weight room, which
features an entire outside wall of glass, is stocked with free weights, weight machines, stationary bikes and stairmasters.

Sports Medicine
Butler student-athletes have access to a comprehensive sports medicine program that concentrates on the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of athleticrelated injuries. Under the supervision of Butler’s director of sports medicine Bruce
Willard, Butler athletes are served by an extensive team of physicians, health care
professionals and certified athletic trainers.
Butler’s expanded training room is located on the west end of Hinkle
Fieldhouse. Renovation in the summer of 1998 effectively tripled the usable area
devoted to the care and welfare of Butler’s student-athletes. Butler’s athletic staff
provides care for Butler athletes at practices and games. The staff also works to
educate Butler student-athletes in the areas of injury prevention, nutrition and
various wellness issues.
Butler’s sports medicine program utilizes the extensive medical community in
Indianapolis, which boasts one of the largest and most knowledgeable groups of
sports medicine professionals in the nation. Butler student-athletes have access
in Indianapolis to world-renowned medical facilities, as well as many of the leading physicians in the world of sports medicine.

Academic Support/Student Development
Perhaps the biggest challenge facing student-athletes at Butler is trying to
balance the demands of NCAA Division I athletics with the responsibilities of a
rigorous academic schedule. To help the student-athletes meet that challenge,
Butler provides a dedicated academic support system. The Athletic Academic
Support Offices are located in Hinkle Fieldhouse, where the staff is available to
assist student-athletes in solving academic and nonacademic problems. Butler
offers its more than 300 student-athletes academic and career counseling, guidance in study skills and time management, and academic tutoring. The academic
staff monitors each student-athlete’s progress toward Butler’s degree requirements.
Support services for student-athletes are provided on a by-need or by-student/
coach request basis.
Butler has led its conference in number of student-athletes named to the Academic Honor Roll in eight of the past nine years. The baseball squad consistently
has one of the highest cumulative GPA’s of all Butler men’s teams.

Bullpen Club
Bullpen Club
Bullpen Club donations play a vital role in helping Butler’s baseball team achieve its goals each year. Many of the
renovations seen a Bulldog Park in recent years were funded through the Bulldog Club’s generous support. An investment in Butler baseball improves and strengthens the experiences of current baseball student-athletes, while players,
coaches and fans continue to build a program committed to being the best it can be, on and off the field.

Bulldog Park
Thanks to support from the Bullpen Club, Bulldog Park is one of the top baseball facilities
in the Horizon League. Recent upgrades include a new scoreboard, irrigation system,
remodeled dugouts, a new 4,100 square foot artificial turf hitting area and more. Butler
played host to the 2001 Indiana High School All-Star series, the 2004 Midwest Area Code
tryouts, and several summer recruiting showcases and professional tryout camps.
Bulldog Park is located directly behind Hinkle Fieldhouse on 52nd Street.

Butler’s athletic facilities include the Butler Bowl (front), Hinkle Fieldhouse (middle), the Tennis Bubble (upper
left) and Bulldog Park (upper right).
Nineteen of Butler’s 21 intercollegiate
teams compete in the Horizon League,
along with Cleveland State, Detroit, UIC,
Loyola, UW-Green Bay, UW-Milwaukee,
Wright State and Youngstown State.
The football team is a member of the
Pioneer Football League, which includes
Dayton, Drake, San Diego, Valparaiso,
Austin Peay, Davidson, Morehead State
and Jacksonville, while the men’s lacrosse team competes in the Great
Western Lacrosse League along with Air
Force, Denver, Fairfield, Notre Dame
and Ohio State.
It was clear from the earliest days
that athletics was destined to play a
major role in shaping Butler University.
When the school moved to its current
Fairview Campus location in the 1920’s,
two of the first structures completed
were a 15,000-seat fieldhouse and a
36,000-seat football stadium. The
fieldhouse, which was the largest of its
kind when it was completed in 1928, is
now a historical landmark. The Butler
Fieldhouse, renamed Hinkle Fieldhouse
in 1966, came to symbolize not only
Butler athletics, but also “Hoosier Hysteria” in Indiana. The building became
the combined home of Butler basketball
and the Indiana High School State Tournament. The legends of Indiana basketball, from Oscar Robertson to George
McGinnis to Larry Bird, all played in the
Fieldhouse at one time or another. The
football stadium, which came to be
known as the Butler Bowl, was downsized to a 20,000-seat stadium in the
mid-1950’s, and it continues to be the
home for Butler football and lacrosse.
The Bowl is slated for a major facelift
beginning in March of 2005.
While Hinkle Fieldhouse provided a
nationally acclaimed setting for Butler
athletics, it was Paul D. “Tony” Hinkle
who brought national recognition to the
school as a coach and athletic administrator. He came to Butler in 1921 and
remained with the University until his
death in 1992. Hinkle, who was credited with inventing the orange basketball, served as a teacher, coach and athletic administrator for nearly half a century, and he compiled more than 1,000
victories as coach of Butler’s football,
basketball and baseball teams. He
made a particular impact on Butler’s
basketball program, winning 560 games
from 1926 to 1970. Hinkle is enshrined
in the James Naismith Basketball Hall
