HEAD COACH RICK ROBINSON Rick Robinson is in his second season as UT Martin head baseball coach in 2016. He was announced as the 10th head baseball coach in program history on June 3, 2014. Robinson’s debut season as a Skyhawk brought along several positives. UT Martin compiled 17 wins (the most for the program since 2011) and nine Ohio Valley Conference victories (the second-highest OVC win total in school history) in 2015. The nine OVC wins are just one shy of the all-time program record. UT Martin showed significant improvement as the 2015 season went on, notching 13 of its 17 victories after late March. The Skyhawks posted a four-game winning streak for the second time since 2012 to begin that span and took three OVC series in that stretch. UT Martin knocked off then-league leader Belmont (March 27-29), won the OVC season series over Austin Peay for the first time since 1993 (May 1-3) and also won the road series at Eastern Illinois (May 8-10). The Skyhawks also posted one of their most impressive victories in recent memory on April 7, defeating No. 15 Missouri State by a 6-2 margin. That marked the program’s first win over a ranked opponent since April 10, 2009. Despite the series loss, UT Martin played the Bears even on the scoreboard in the three-game series, holding its own against a Missouri State team that won 49 games and entered the NCAA Regionals as the No. 8 overall national seed. Robinson boasts 18 years of head coaching experience, including a 16-year stretch transforming Young Harris College into a junior college and NCAA Division-II powerhouse. Robinson sports a 716-316 career head coaching record (.694 winning percentage) and boasts four 50-win seasons, eight conference championships, five Region XVII championships and one NJCAA World Series appearance. Robinson averaged 49.3 wins per season from 2002-08 in the junior college ranks before Young Harris transitioned into a four-year baccalaureate school competing in Division-II in 2011. The transition did not slow down Robinson, as he guided the Mountain Lions to 114 wins over his last four seasons. In his coaching career, Robinson has guided 43 players to the professional ranks, including 25 Major League Baseball draft selections. Players who have learned under Robinson include Atlanta Braves outfielder Nick Markakis (seventh overall pick in the first round of the 2003 MLB Draft), Colorado Rockies outfielder and 2014 All-Star Charlie Blackmon (72nd overall pick in the second round of the 2008 MLB Draft), Atlanta Braves right-handed pitcher Cory Gearrin (138th overall pick in the fourth round of the 2007 MLB Draft) and Billy Buckner (55th overall pick in the second round of the 2004 MLB Draft). Robinson has coached a pair of National Players of the Year in Markakis (2003) and Bryson Smith (2009) and also worked with some of the game’s brightest college stars when he served as head coach of the Hiyamis Mets in the Cape Cod Baseball League in 2008. Robinson began his head coaching career at Brevard College in North Carolina, where he started the first baseball program in school history in 1992. In its inaugural season, Robinson posted a 33-22 overall record and a third place NJCAA Region X finish. A total of eight players from that Brevard team signed professional contracts. Robinson then took over at Young Harris in 1999 and immediately turned the program into one of the top junior college programs in the nation. His teams went 155-29 over a three-year span (2003-05) that saw the team set school records with 52 victories in both 2003 and 2004. He also led Young Harris to the 2007 NJCAA World Series in Grand Junction, Colo. and posted another 50-win campaign in 2008. Prior to his time at Young Harris, Robinson spent four years as an assistant coach at Old Dominion University, a Division-I school located in Norfolk, Va. During his time at the baseball-rich school, he served as third base coach, camp director and recruiting coordinator. At Old Dominion, Robinson helped the Monarchs to a pair of conference championships and back-to-back appearances in the NCAA Regionals (199596). In four recruiting classes, he helped produce 22 players who signed professional contracts, including Tim Hummel (second round pick, 52nd overall by the Chicago White Sox in the 2000 MLB Draft). Robinson also worked with major leaguers David Wright, Michael Cuddyer, Justin Upton and Melvin Upton, Jr. in Old Dominion’s camps. Before his appointment at Brevard College, Robinson posted a .672 winning percentage at the high school level in North Carolina. He led West Henderson High School in Hendersonville to its first-ever winning season and first berth in the state playoffs and also had a successful stint at Pisgah High School in Canton. A Brevard, NC native, Robinson played collegiate baseball at Appalachian State University in Boone, NC. He earned his degree from Appalachian State and later earned a Master’s degree from Furman University. Robinson is married to the former Luann DeGroat of Hawley, Pa. The couple has been married for over 20 years and has three children: Faithe (18), Rhett (15) and Ryan (12).
