Frostburg State University Athletics

Known as one of the top coaches on the east coast, Guy Robertson enters his tenth season at the helm of the Frostburg baseball program in 2017 as the program’s second-winningest coach.
 
Robertson has not had a losing season in his time with the Bobcats and owns the second highest winning percentage (.662) in school history, following a 30-14 season in 2016. Frostburg made the NCAA Tournament for the second-straight season and ended the year as the only team in the conference to reach the 30-win mark. The Bobcats had a league-high 13 conference wins and made an appearance in the 2016 CAC Championship game. Frostburg began the 2016 season with five straight victories and led the conference in hits (461), home runs (43) and strikeouts (341).
 
Robertson coached a team that earned several individual accolades in 2016, including Nick Huff, who earned Hero Sports D3Baseball All-American honors after setting the single-season Frostburg and CAC record for saves with 12. Zach Keeler was honored as an academic All-American for the second time in 2016, making him the first male athlete in Frostburg history to earn two Academic All-American honors.
 
Robertson pushed his Bobcat baseball program to new heights during a record-setting season in 2015. He now boasts 255 wins during his tenure at Frostburg. His Bobcat squads have advanced to the conference tournament in each of his nine seasons with three NCAA Tournament appearances.
 
The Bobcats finished the 2015 season ranked second in the country in wins (43) and in both major national polls (ABCA & D3baseball.com). The win total eclipsed Frostburg’s school record by eight victories and set the Capital CAC record as well.
 
Frostburg opened the 2015 season 12-0, tossed Division III’s first no-hitter, and captured both the CAC regular-season and tournament titles. Following the tournament crown, FSU posted four wins en route to its first-ever NCAA Mideast Regional Championship and the Bobcats collected two wins in their first-ever appearance in the NCAA World Series.
 
In 2015, four of his players earned All-American status, while Robertson was named the ABCA South Region Coach of the Year, D3baseball.com South Region Coach of the Year, ECAC South Coach of the Year and the CAC Coach of the Year.
 
The Bobcats paced Division III statistically in walks (237), fielding percentage (.975) and home runs (46). Frostburg finished third nationally in both runs (410) and winning percentage (.827), fifth in double plays (48) and hits (568) and sixth in shutouts (7).

Frostburg State finished 25-15 overall with an appearance in the CAC Tournament in 2013. Junior Kevin Kean became FSU’s third All-American since Robertson’s arrival and he helped the Bobcats lead the CAC in doubles (104), home runs (20), scoring (7.3 runs per game), slugging percentage (.457) and triples (.40). FSU finished third in the country in doubles per game (2.6), 13th in slugging percentage and 22nd in home runs. On the mound, the Bobcats allowed the fewest walks per nine innings (3.06) in the CAC, while striking out the most batters per nine innings (6.9).
 
In 2012, the Bobcats finished 22-20 overall, 10-8 in the CAC and earned the third seed in the league tournament. Frostburg led the league in home runs (21), triples (18), finished third in walks (162) and was fourth in stolen bases. FSU also struck out the most batters in the league (266). Three seniors were named to the All-CAC teams.
 
In 2011, FSU went 28-15 overall and returned to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2007, after earning the No. 2 seed and knocking off the top-seeded Salisbury Sea Gulls in the semifinal round. For the second-consecutive season, Robertson earned conference Coach of the Year honors. Senior Greg Ross was named the CAC Player of the Year and First Team selection, while the Bobcats placed four other players on the All-CAC Teams.
 
Ross was also named to the ABCA All-America First Team, D3baseball.com All-America Second Team, as well as ABCA Mid-Atlantic Pitcher of the Year and First Team selection. Greene was named to the Mid-Atlantic Third Team and was named an ECAC South All-Star.
 
Following the 2011 season, Ross was drafted in the 18th round of the Major League Baseball draft by the Atlanta Braves and has spent the last five seasons in the Braves farm system. Ross finished the 2014 season with the AA Mississippi Braves.
 
As a team, the Bobcats finished in the top half of the CAC in nearly every statistical category. Frostburg hit .291 as a team (third) and had a .417 slugging percentage (second). The Bobcats also had the second best earned run average (3.51), opposing batting average (.256), and strikeouts (301).
