< PreviousUniversity of Louisville n gocards.com 58 2023 Coaching Staff BASEBALL L LOUISVILLE A dam Vrable is in his ninth season as an assistant coach at Louisville after being introduced on Aug. 1, 2014. He serves as Louisville’s vol- unteer assistant working with the Cardinals’ hitters and out- fielders while also assisting with the program’s recruiting efforts. Prior to arriving in Louisville, Vrable spent one season at Charleston Southern, where he served as the hitting instructor for the Buccaneers. “Adam is one of the top young hitting coaches out there with a background in aggressive baser- unning who also has the ability to coach multiple positions on the field,” said McDonnell, who led the Cardinals to their third College World Series berth in his eight seasons in 2014. “He brings a lot of energy and enthusiasm to the ballpark every day and that fits perfectly into the way we do things at Louisville.” During his first eight seasons in Louisville, the Cardinals have two College World Series appear- ances, five ACC Atlantic Division championships, five NCAA Super Regional berths, 23 All-Ameri- can selections (including 13 hitters) and 47 play- ers have signed professionally after being selected in the Major League Baseball Draft. The Cardinals had a banner season at the plate in 2022 ranking top 15 nationally in batting aver- age, hits, runs, walks, on-base percentage and dou- bles. Louisville posted its highest run and home run totals since 1992, and seven of UofL’s nine regular starters earned All-Conference recognition. Catcher Dalton Rushing continued Louisville’s impressive tradition of great catchers, earning All- America honors and was selected 40th overall in the 2022 MLB Draft. Rushing was the first of five Cardinals selected, all in the top 10 rounds. The Louisville offense turned in another strong season in 2021, as the Cardinals ranked among the top four in the ACC in batting average, on- base percentage, runs per game, triples and sto- len bases. Four Lou- isville position play- ers earned All-Con- ference honors and seven players were selected in the 2021 MLB Draft. Henry Davis became the first Louisville player taken with the No. 1 overall pick in July, while five other Cardinals were selected in the top 10 rounds. In the shortened 2020 season, the Cardinals led the country in doubles, ranked third in batting aver- age and fifth in hits. Despite the short season, the Cardinals were once again prominently featured during the 2020 MLB Draft with Reid Detmers going 10th overall to the Los Angeles Angels and Bobby Miller following to the Los Angeles Dodgers at No. 29. Zach Britton was later selected in the fifth round by the Toronto Blue Jays, while Justin Lavey (Seattle Mariners) and Danny Oriente (Arizona Dia- mondbacks) each signed free agent contracts. Louisville ascended to new heights in 2019, posting a 51-18 overall record and reaching the bracket final at the College World Series, the deep- est postseason run in program history. The Car- dinals captured the ACC Atlantic Division crown for the fourth time in five seasons and earned a national seed for the fifth time in program his- tory. Southpaw Reid Detmers was named the ACC Pitcher of the Year and an All-America, while eight Cardinals were selected in the 2019 MLB Draft. The Cardinals finished the 2018 season with a 45-19 record overall after advancing to the final round of an NCAA Regional for the seventh straight year. The Cardinals also advanced to the ACC Cham- pionship final for the first time since joining the league. Individually, a trio Louisville players earned All-America honors as lefthanded pitcher Adam Wolf was a second team selection and outfielder Josh Stowers and first baseman Logan Wyatt were third team members. Following the season, eight UofL players were selected in the 2018 MLB Draft. During the 2017 College World Series season, the Cardinals ranked in the Top 25 nationally in eight different offensive categories -- 11th in sacri- fice flies, 12th in runs scored, 17th in stolen bases, 19th in hit by pitch, 21st in doubles, 23rd in home runs, 25th in hits and 25th in scoring. Louisville also had one of the nation’s top offensive clubs in 2016 ranking third in the country in hits, third in sacrifice flies, sixth in batting average, sixth in doubles, sixth in slugging percentage, ninth in runs scored, 12th in stolen bases, 15th in on-base percentage, 19th in home runs, 20th in scoring and 26th in triples. Vrable’s influence was felt in his only season at CSU as the team won 30 games for the first time in 14 years and established a school-single season record with 20 home wins in 2014. The Buccaneers’ bats were a big reason why, as CSU led the Big South and ranked 17th nationally with a .298 batting average. Prior to joining the Charleston Southern pro- gram, Vrable spent two years on Fred Jordan’s staff at The Citadel, where he worked with hitters and out- fielders making a big impact in the Bulldogs’ 35-25 record during the 2013 season. The Citadel reached the Southern Conference Tournament championship game on the strength of a prolific offense, which ranked third in the country with 66 home runs. Under Vrable’s tutelage, the Bulldogs also placed fourth nationally in slugging percentage, 12th in runs, 13th in batting average, and 19th in hits. A native of Bay City, Michigan, Vrable enjoyed an excellent playing career at Coastal Carolina University helping the Chanticleers to a pair of Big South Championships and No. 1 seeds in the 2005 and 2007 NCAA Regionals. A 2007 graduate of Coastal Carolina with a degree in history, he led his squad with a .324 batting average during the 2006 season. Vrable is married to the former Renee Rasmer of Bay City, Michigan, and the couple has three sons, Hank, Lou and Len. B rian Mundorf is in his 17th season as the Direc- tor of Baseball Operations, but he has been a member of the Cardinal staff since 1996. He previously coached the out- fielders and hitters in addition to his administrative duties, which included travel, sched- uling, recruiting and scouting. He also served as the third base coach. In his 11 years as an assistant coach with the Cardinals, there were eight All-Conference outfield- ers, four All-Freshman team members in the out- field and two All-American outfielders (Mark Jurich and Boomer Whiting). Thirty-four Cardinals went on to play pro ball under the tutelage of Mundorf. He came to Louisville after serving one year as an assistant coach at the University of Tampa under Lelo Prado where he also worked with the outfielders and hitters as well as being respon- sible for training and developing junior varsity and varsity players. His off-field duties included scheduling, conditioning, game preparation and field maintenance. He had a successful collegiate career at Ameri- can International College where he led the Yellow Jackets to the East Regional Championship and the College World Series in 1991. He was named the East Regional MVP in 1991. He captained the 1991 and 1992 squads and was awarded the Henry Butova Memorial Award for outstanding contributions to athletics on and off the field. He departed as the career leader in hits (180) and triples (13) at AIC. Hit a school-record eight triples in `91 and batted .406 in the `89 season. After graduation, he worked for the Westfield, Mass., Public School System, where he also served as assistant varsity baseball coach. He ran the Westfield Park and Recreation Department’s youth basketball league and served as coach, umpire and tournament volunteer for the Babe Ruth League. A native of Westfield, Mass., Brian and his wife Carrie are proud parents of their two daughters, Olivia and Kaci.

Assistant Athletic Trainer | 2nd SeasonMission To deliver the finest collegiate sports perfor- mance program in the nation- professionally implemented- to reduce injury risk, optimize ath- lete development, and increase team success. Philosophy We are commit- ted to building great athletes and preparing championship teams! Adhering to an holis- tic approach we address the entire anatomy of a championbody, mind and spirit. Our comprehensive training system and assess- ment-driven program design simultaneously impacts prevention and performance, and our creative and competitive methods chal- lenge athletes mentally and physically. Our programs are built on a foundation of educa- tion, and are implemented using state-of-the art equipment and leading technology in a world-class facility. High-Performance Training Principles 1. Character Becoming a champion requires more than talent and training. A foundation of disci- pline, courage, perseverance and selflessness is essential for true success. These qualities must be emphasized, modeled, developed and rewarded in all team members. 2. Sport-Specific Training To be effective a training program must prepare athletes to perform sport-specific movements safely, efficiently and explosive- ly. It must develop energy systems appropri- ately and promote muscular adaptations that lead to superior sport performance. 3. Multiple Joint Movements In sport, the entire body works syner- gistically to produce complex movements. Running, jumping, shooting, kicking and throwing all require multiple joint actions (musculoskeletal system) timed in synchro- nized recruitment patterns (nervous sys- tem). To improve movement quality and overall performance- while reducing injury riskintegrated movements (not individual muscles) must be trained. Louisville Sports Performance 4. Multiple Plane Movements Sport- by nature- is multi-plane. Move- ments occurs in the sagittal (forward-back- ward), frontal (side-to-side) and transverse (rotational) planes- and combinations of the three. Resistance training and move- ment training (speed/agility) must incorpo- rate exercises and drills that develop starting and stopping strength and overall efficiency all planes. 5. Ground-Based Movements Most sport skills are initiated by applying force in to the ground, on one leg or two. The more force an athlete can apply against the ground, the faster they will accelerate, the higher they will jump and the more speed they will generate performing sport- specific movements- making them more effective in sport. Exercises must be selected that enhance this ability to generate force at high rates of speed. 6. Explosive Training The ability to generate force at high rates of speed (power) is crucial in sport. Power output is the result of motor unit recruit- ment by the nervous system. There are two types of motor units- fast and slow- that vary greatly in their ability to generate force. Training explosively, using ground-based, multiple joint movements trains the body to preferentially recruit fast motor units at high rates of speed. This, in turn, improves perfor- mance potential. 7. Periodization/Planning Short and long-term planning is critical for sport success. With elite athletes per- formance gains will quickly plateau (and even diminish) if the training prescription is not effectively planned and progressed. Non-linear periodization is a proven model that manipulates training variables (ie: vol- ume, load, relative intensity, frequency, rest, tempo, exercise selection) to progressively overload the body at times, and unload the body at other times, to bring about specific adaptations. 8. Performance Nutrition & Regeneration No training program can be success- ful without a commitment to nutrition and recovery. This includes high performance eating, high quality sleeping, and the con- sistent use of regeneration tools and tech- niques (stretching, massage, ART, nutrient timing, hydrotherapy and vibration). Without question, the time and energy invested in nutrition and regeneration creates an inside “edge”- making these items a top priority for the LSP staff.

Rachel Overton Associate Director Academic ServicesUniversity of Louisville n gocards.com 62 Fellowship of Christian Athletes BASEBALL L LOUISVILLE T he mission of the FCA chaplain is to serve players, coaches and support staff by providing for spiritual growth and charac- ter development. The chaplain ministers to these groups in different ways based on their individual needs. The chaplain is responsible for pastoral care for players, coaches and support staff by building relationships through being available and earning trust. The chaplain provides pas- toral care by leading and coordination prayer, chapel services and Bible study; counseling; teaching life skills; helping in character devel- opment; and mentoring players. “Chris Morgan is an integral part of our program. As a coaching staff, we strive to train our players to be successful academi- cally, athletically, emotionally, and spiritu- ally. Chris Morgan and the ministry of FCA offers us the balance required to meet each of these goals.” - Dan McDonnell, Louisville Head Coach “In his role as team chaplain, I have seen first hand the positive impact Chris Morgan has made in the lives of our coaches and student athletes. Chris does a phenomenal job of motivating, encouraging and inspiring our team to seek excellence in all they do through a commitment to Christian values.” - Brian Mundorf, Baseball Director of Operations “Chris and his staff have made FCA a place not only for students to grow in their faith, but a place where they feel loved by their peers. It’s a place away from church where students can feel comfortable in hearing about the gospel. Overall, without FCA here, a lot of kids would be lost with no one to talk with and Chris truly helps us on and off the field.” - Nick Burdi, Former Louisville Pitcher “FCA has had a huge impact on my col- lege career, both as a baseball player and as a person. Having somewhere to go to and get away from the stresses of being a student-athlete is huge. FCA gives me the opportunity to grow in my faith with other athletes who love the Lord.” - Jeff Gardner, Former Louisville Outfielder “Chris Morgan means a lot to me and a lot to this university. He is a man who changes people’s lives every day and will do anything for anyone. He is a great person if you need someone to talk to and he helps guide you through any situation that may come your way. We’re blessed to have him.” - Zach Lucas, Former Louisville Infielder “FCA has truly been a blessing to me. It’s been awesome to see how FCA has grown over my three years here and has helped me in my walk with Christ. Chris Morgan is more than just our chaplain, he is a brother, a friend and in a way, a second father to me. He has a huge heart and has always been there for me and my family. Words really can’t explain what Chris means to me and this university.” - Sutton Whiting, Former Louisville Infielder 2023 Louisville CardinalsUniversity of Louisville n gocards.com 64 2023 Roster BASEBALL L LOUISVILLE NO Name POS B/T HT WT CL Hometown (Previous School/High School) 1 Patrick Forbes INF/RHP R/R 6-3 200 FR Bowling Green, Ky.
