Head Coach • Sixth Season • C.W. Post ‘86
Pete Timmes enters his sixth season at the helm of the
Pioneers, following one of the most sucessful seasons in
C.W. Post baseball history, as the Pioneers posted a 32-16-1
record, setting a new program mark for wins in a season.
The Pioneers won the East Coast Conference championship
title and advanced to their second NCAA Regional in three
years, where they garnered their first regional victory in
over 25 years, a 4-1 victory over Dominican.
Two years prior, the Pioneers had just as sucessful a
season, as Timmes led the 2008 squad to its first-ever East
Coast Conference Championship title and first NCAA appearance since 1985, when he was an infielder on the team.
In addition, six of his players were named to the 2008 ECC
All-Conference team.
Timmes’ 2007 team posted just the second 30-win season in school history, going 30-19, including a 17-10 mark
in ECC play while advancing to the finals of the East Coast
Conference Championships.
In his five years as head coach, Timmes has posted 116
wins thus far and has seen numerous players named allconference and all-region.
A former player and assistant coach, Timmes gained
experience and knowledge while serving for 21 seasons as
an assistant under legendary head coach Dick Vining.
The Pioneers have experienced great success during
Timmes’ involvement with the program, beginning in 1984,
11 seasons where they have registered 20 or more wins.
As a member of the Diamond Conference during the
early 1990’s, the Pioneers were regular season champions in
1989, 1991 and 1993 and qualified for the ECAC Regional.
C.W. Post also captured a regular season title in 1998 as a
member of the Mid-Continent Eastern Division.
As a player at C.W. Post, Timmes helped his team to 45
wins between 1984 and 1985. His senior year, Timmes led
the Pioneers to a 28-11 record and to an NCAA Division
II Tournament berth in which he batted .365 and stole a
record 33 bases, which still stands. In the summer of 1985,
the Pioneers played six exhibition games in China.
The long-time coach is also the department’s Eligibility
Coordinator. In addition, Timmes has also been an instructor with the New York Baseball Academy for the past 18
years.

2011 baseball
The C.W. Post baseball team had a season for the
record books in 2010, as the Pioneer posted 32 wins
- the most in school history - won an ECC Championship, and advanced to the NCAA East Regional, where
they won a contest for the first time in over 25 years,
knocking out Dominican with a 4-1 victory. But graduation took nine seniors - including six four-year starters
- leaving the Pioneers with a very young, but extremely
talented squad with enormous potential. The team’s
success will be determined by how quickly several
younger players can step
up at make an impact at
the collegiate level.

2011 season outlook
Pitching
Despite the loss of
three seniors who were the
anchor of last year’s pitching staff, there is returning
talent combined with solid
newcomers that should
make the Pioneer pitching
staff a strength yet again.
Sophomore Bo Budkevics
(Deer Park, N.Y.) makes his
return to green and gold
after spending last year
at Nassau CC. A mature
pitching who gained good
experience throwing in the
junior college world series
last season at Nassau, Budkevics is a hard throwing
righty who will be a topnotch starter.
Glen Hudson
Following a strong
freshman season on the
mound, Kevin Chenicek
(Levittown, N.Y.) will be counted on for the same performance this season. A consistent and reliable arm,
Chenicek’s strengths are control and location, and he
will provide the Pioneers with strong starts.
Junior Glen Hudson (West Sayville, N.Y.) has been
slowed by injuries over the past two seasons, but came
through with a key start at the end of last season, giving a glimpse of his potential if he can stay injury free.
Hudson’s pinpoint location and assortment of breaking
pitches are two of the lefty’s strengths.
Junior transfer James Stone (Massapequa, N.Y.) is
coming off an injury, but had an outstanding summer
in the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League, earning
ACBL All-Star honors. As Stone works back into game
shape, he could potentially be used in both a starting
and relief capacity.
Another Nassau CC product who went to the
JUCO World Series last season is transfer Paul
Bischoff (Levittown, N.Y.). Bischoff has an outstanding knuckle drop and has the ability to keep batters off
balance.
Sophomore Rafael
Martinez (Bronx, N.Y.)
transfers from Concordia,
and the hard throwing righthander will see starts for the
Pioneers this season as he
has good movement and a
team-first attitude.

Eckerle’s size and raw ability
as the freshman continues
to develop throughout the
season. Connor McCarthy
(Westbury, N.Y.) is another
tall and athletic pitcher with
an explosive fastball who
could be utilized in a variety
of situations for the Pioneers.
Sophomores Ryan
O’Kelly (New Hyde Park,
N.Y.) and Josh Laufer (East
Northport, N.Y.) will join
freshman P.J. Jennings (Morristown, N.J.) as three
pitchers with potential to see time as starters or in
relief. O’Kelly has an unorthodox delivery that adds to
his effectiveness, while Laufer is a hard-throwing righty
who missed last year due to injury, but with a clean bill
of health, could make an impact this season. Jennings
is an athletic player with a good running fastball who
will also see time in the field when not on the mound.

A challenging schedule at the Palm Beach Challenge
is also in place, as Timmes hopes that rigorous early
season games will prepare his young team for East Coast
Conference play, where the Pioneer open with Dowling
College for the first five-game series that they will play
against every ECC team. The Pioneers personnel has
changed, but the goals remain the same: challenging for
the ECC title, and a return trip to the NCAA tournament.
Outfield
Junior transfer Steve Smith (West Islip, N.Y.) will
play center field, as the lefty runs well and tracks the ball
off the bat well. A contact hitter, he will look to get on
base and take advantage of his speed on the basepaths.
Simone, when not catching, can play any of the
three outfield positions, and his hitting will keep him in
the lineup.
Sophomore David Saldana (Deer Park, N.Y.) is one
of the fastest players on the team, and will be utilized
as a defensive replacement or a pinch runner while he
continues to push for starting time with his solid swing.
Another sophomore, Dan Burnett (Farmingdale, N.Y.)
will provide depth and push for time with an aggressive
approach at the plate.
Jennings is also an option in right field, joined by
fellow freshman Ryan Sloane (Westbury, N.Y.) who has
good tools and will get a shot for starting time in one of
the corner outfield slots. Freshman Anthony Imparato
(Bethpage, N.Y.) will provide depth in the outfield.

(Glen Cove, N.Y.) will battle it out for the starting stop.
Tolan reads the ball well off the bat, and is a strong and
athletic player. Maccarone has good arm strength and
is adjusting to balls batted off wood bats. Both players
swing the bat aggressively and run well.
At the hot corner, Chenicek will resume his starting
role when not on the mound. Returning this year with
improved defensive confidence, he will look to improve
his offensive production and elevate his power numbers
while maintaining his solid defense. Junior Nick Compito (Syosset, N.Y.) will play third when Chenicek is on
the mound, and will be the primary DH, taking advantage of his solid swing and good power potential.
Graduate Joe Mare (Whitestone, N.Y.) is a wild
card in the infield, as he makes his return to the field
this year following a three-year rehabilitation from a car
accident suffered in 2008. Mare was an honorable mention All-American in 2007, and will continue to work
back into baseball shape while providing leadership to
the young infield.
Freshmen Connor Coman (Bay Shore, N.Y.) and
Chris Brudie (Fresh Meadows, N.Y.) will provide depth
in the infield during their rookie seasons.

DAVID STEINBERG - President, Long Island University
Dr. David J. Steinberg, the ninth president of Long Island University, has served the institution
since 1985. The son of the late Rabbi Milton Steinberg of Manhattan’s Park Avenue Synagogue, he
was born in New York City and was educated at Phillips Academy at Andover, Malvern College in
England and Harvard College, from which he graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa.
After a Fulbright year at the University of the Philippines and a year at Columbia University on
a Woodrow Wilson Fellowship, he returned to Harvard, where he earned an M.A. in East Asian
studies in 1963, and a Ph.D. in history in 1964. Dr. Steinberg also has received several honorary
degrees.
He began his teaching career in the Department of History at the University of Michigan,
where he rose to the rank of full professor. In 1973, he joined the administration of Brandeis University as executive assistant to the president, becoming vice president and university secretary in
1977.
The author of numerous books and articles on Southeast Asia and, in particular, Philippine history, Dr. Steinberg has taught,
lectured and written about this important area of the world for a third of a century. His first book, “Philippine Collaboration in
World War II,” won the University Press Award in 1969. “The Philippines: A Singular and a Plural Place,” now in its third edition, was described by U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines Nicholas Platt as “the best single-volume guide to understanding the
Philippines, past and present.” He also edited and co-authored both editions of “In Search of Southeast Asia,” one of the major
textbooks on the area. Dr. Steinberg recently collaborated with top scholars from around the world to co-author “The Emergence
of Modern Southeast Asia,” a new and multifaceted history of this complex region. In addition, he is a co-author of “Religion and
Religiosity in the Philippines and Indonesia: Essays on State, Society and Public Creeds,” which was published in 2005.
Dr. Steinberg was a member of the international observer team that monitored the Philippine presidential elections when
Corazon Aquino defeated Ferdinand Marcos. He has written numerous op-ed pieces and has been a consultant to UN agencies,
the United States government, the Ford Foundation and others.
He and his wife, Joan, a chanteuse and real estate executive, reside in McGrath House on the C.W. Post Campus. The couple
has two Cavalier King Charles spaniels, whom they sometimes bring to football games on campus. His greatest personal accomplishment: raising his two superb sons, Noah and Jonah. His greatest pleasure: watching his grandchildren grow.

Bryan Collins, Director of Athletics
Bryan Collins is in his fifth year as the Director of Athletics at C.W. Post. Under Collins’ leadership, the Pioneers’ athletic programs have seen a continual rise in both the regional
and national levels.
During Collins’ tenure, the Pioneers have achieved both athletic and academic success.
Notable achievements include 22 conference titles as well as NCAA championship titles from the
2007 women’s lacrosse and 2009 and 2010 men’s lacrosse teams.
This past season, the men’s and women’s cross country, women’s swimming, baseball, men’s
lacrosse, softball and women’s lacrosse teams all participated in NCAA tournaments.
Off the field, Collins has included community service as a part of his players’ responsibilities. Among the efforts since his
arrival have been visitations to the St. Mary’s Children’s Hospital in Bayside, N.Y., while also volunteering with other charitable
organizations such as Habitat for Humanity and the Make-A-Wish Foundation. During the 2008-09 academic year, C.W. Post
student-athletes completed over 3,200 hours of service.
Collins is responsible for the creation of a department mission statement based on the foundation of athletic excellence as
well as the initiation of the Academic Commitment Excellence (ACE) program, designed to improve attendance and academic
achievements in the classroom. In addition, C.W. Post athletic programs are mentored by campus faculty and staff through the
Adopt-A-Faculty program.
During 2007-08, Collins established a Student-Athlete
Orientation seminar and handbook as well as an annual studentathlete awards banquet to recognize both athletic and academic
success. The department also established an Academic Honor
Roll to honor student-athletes’ who receive a minimum 3.0 grade
point average.
Collins has overseen improvements to the athletic facilities on campus, including the installation of FieldTurf on Hickox
Field as well as a new state-of-the art sound system for the stadium. In addition, all the outdoor athletic fields have undergone
improvements to their playing surface. The Pratt Recreation
Center Gymnasium, home to the basketball and volleyball teams,
received a new sound system as well as a working press row table
for media and game operations staff.
A former student-athlete at St. John’s University, Collins
played linebacker on the Red Storm’s football team and was the
recipient of the Dr. Peter Vitulli Award, given to the St. John’s
student-athlete who demonstrated the most courage, perseverance, dedication and spirit of self-sacrifice in seeking to attain the
highest ideals of sportsmanship. Collins received his bachelor’s
degree in Business Administration in 1987.
Collins and his wife, Patti, reside in Sayville, N.Y. with their
son, Tyler (15) and daughter, Megan (10).
