Doug Williams 1983 - 1984
Head Coach, 17th Year. His Bulldogs have averaged 32 wins per season since 1995, enters his sixteenth season as head coach. In 2009, Williams guided the Bulldogs to a 33-13 record, an eighth consecutive Coast Conference North Championship and a 14th trip to the Northern California State Playoffs. One of his most memorable experiences was when his first team at CSM claimed the 1995 Coast Conference National Division Championship. The Bulldogs posted a 38-11 record in Williams' first season, setting a school single-season record for victories. His fifteen-year record at CSM is 513-206 and he is a seven-time recipient of the Coast Conference Coach of the Year Award, most recently winning the award in 2009. During his tenure, 189 out of 199 players have transferred to four-year schools or signed professionally.
Williams played NCAA Division I baseball at UC Santa Barbara during the 1987-88 seasons. A native of nearby Belmont, Williams played the infield and pitched for Carlmont High School, from which he graduated in 1983. He began his Bulldog career as a player for the legendary John Noce during the 1984-86 seasons, including a redshirt year. In his last season at CSM, the Bulldogs won the championship of the former Golden Gate Conference, which was the school's last title until Williams guided the Bulldogs to the 1995 crown.
Williams began his coaching career in 1990 at CSM as an assistant to Coach Noce, a position he held during the last three seasons of Noce's 31-year tenure at the College. Williams also gained summer coaching experience in in a professional league in Perugia, Italy.
In 1993 Williams' alma mater, Carlmont High School, sent out an emergency call for a varsity baseball coach to lead its defending section champion and Williams answered the call. He not only coached Carlmont to its second consecutive Central Coast Section Division II Championship, but he called the pitches as his staff hurled four consecutive shutouts during the playoffs- a feat never before or since accomplished since the tournament began in 1967.
Williams was hired as assistant coach and pitching coach at the University of San Francisco in 1994. He helped that team achieve its best season in many years. When the CSM job opened in the summer of 1994, Williams returned to the Bulldogs.
Williams holds a master's degree from St. Mary's College, having written a thesis entitled "A Three-Dimensional Biomechanical Analysis of Fastball and Fork-ball pitchers." He was featured on the front page of an issue of Collegiate Baseball Magazine as a result of his ground-breaking thesis, which included a video and computer analysis of former Oakland A's pitching star Dave Stewart.
Williams and his wife, Liliana, reside in Belmont.

Scott Picks Up 9th Win
Scott is currently one of Scott Boras's Top Assistants.
While at Serra Scott played Varsity baseball in his sophomore year, a nearly impossible feat. Not only did he make the team, he was a key pitcher, helping lead the team to league title competition. Scott's career win total of 24 is the third all-time highest in Padre history, despite his missing several weeks to injury in his junior year. His perfect senior season of 10 and 0 ranks him first among all Padre pitchers in winning percentage.His outstanding senior year earned him first team All-WCAL and All-County honors. Scott was selected to the California All-Star team which played a series of games in Oklahoma. He was selected by the National Baseball Federation to be part of an All-Star squad which toured Japan. Scott earned a scholarship to Santa Clara where he pitched for three years. Later drafted by the Oakland A's, he went on to win several games at the major league level for the A's, Rangers, and Padres. A serious arm injury brought a far too early end to his promising pro-career.

From Zin's Web Site:
Question: What are the most important things you've learned since you started - about yourself, about your training, nutrition?
Answer:I have always been a competitor since a young age with baseball, football, basketball, wrestling, track and field, and power lifting. So I never had a problem with pushing myself in the gym or sticking to my diet because I know I want to be the best in everything I do. And with my nutrition and training I learn new things every day. At a young age I am still a pup in the sport of bodybuilding.

Orioles-I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the dinner but I did want to write something short so that I didn't just bounce on all of you. I've played baseball my whole life and rarely had a starting spot on a team. I would get used to riding pine and picking up my teammates, but on this team I felt like I was picking up my brothers. We taught each other what it truly means to believe and what amazing things can happen. Thank you for giving me a role on this team that I would never pass up.I hope for all the best to all of you - you've all become family to me. Thanks goes especially out to the coaches and parents for making it all possible. To my boys, don't ever stop "BELIEVING" - Don’t lose the "GROOVE".

Eric is in his last year of college baseball this season for Sacramento
State University.Eric has won the "Closers" job for the Hornets.
Comments from Coach Smith and Pitching Coach Jim Barr regarding Eric:
"Barr already has the pitching rotation in mind. The duel closers will be seniors Jeff Roth and Eric Fregosi. Fregosi is a returning pitcher with an entirely new side-armed style of pitch, as opposed to his original overhead throw. Barr said Fregosi improved a lot over the summer and is ready to handle the role of closer."It's a pretty big change," Fregosi said. "It's working out a lot better for me."Though Barr named Fregosi as a possible starter, Smith referred to him as a relief pitcher, but he noted Fregosi's improvements."He is night and day from last year. His ball has a little sink-and-run to it. He's going to be really outstanding for us," said Coach Smith.

In many ways the soul of the club the last two years. Two years ago teaming with Alex Augustyn up the middle and last year - 2008 - playing SS / 2b and 3rd base teaming with middle infield partner Ryan Allgrove.
Towards the end of the 2008 season...heading towards the Area Tournament -Pierson suffered a high ankle sprain.
He rehabbed 24/7 with the help of Post 82 Trainer Karen Sargent - and somehow returned to action at third base and competed at a high level - even though that particular injury usually keeps others out a minimum of one month.
Pierson redshirted at Canada College in 2008 and was the starting secondbase man for the Colts during the 2009 season and was designated to slide to SS for 2010 but suffered a season ending labrum injury. Now completely healed Pierson will be the Colts 2011 starting second baseman.
Ryan Allgrove (2008)
Ryan joined Post 82 Baseball for the summer of 2008.
He paired with Pierson Jeremiah to provide solid defense up the middle. On the mound he was the ace of the Oriole Staff and offensively he switch-hit successfully while batting in the leadoff position. At Serra HS: Three year letter=winner in baseball. WCAL League MVP in 2007 and 2008. first team all-state... earned three WCAL Championships at Serra High School. San Mateo County Player of the Year - also lettered in basketball.Personal: Ryan Ross Allgrove was born on Aug. 24, 1989 in Redwood City, Calif,the son of Ross and Linda Allgrove, favorite athlete is Dustin Pedroia.
Taylor Heon
2010: Started the first six games at second base, but missed the rest of the season due to an injury...hit .367 with 7 hits in 19 at-bats... scored 4 runs, with 6 RBI, a double, and drew 4 walks... had 2 hits in each of the first 3 games...Junior infielder Taylor Heon landed a spot on the 2009 Rawlings/American Baseball Coaches Association Pacific Division Gold Glove Team. Heon, who hails from Pacifica, Calif., transferred to Southeast Missouri State from Skyline College. A 5-8, 165-pound second baseman, Heon hit .323 with a team-high 42 runs scored in 43 starts for the Trojans last season. A second-team all-conference pick and the Coast Conference Pacific Division's Defensive Player-of-the-Year, Heon also ranked second on the team in RBI (37) and third in both doubles (8) and home runs (5).
"This prestigious award speaks for itself," said Southeast head coach Mark Hogan. "Not many guys reach this level. Obviously, we are very happy to have Taylor at Southeast Missouri State." The Rawlings Gold Glove has been the standard for outstanding defensive play in the Major Leagues for over half a century.
Cody Larson (2007 - 2008 - 2009)
Larson's Leadership...
Cody joined the Orioles the summer of his junior year at Serra and immediately became a starting outfielder and impact player in the batting order. His quiet confidence and ability to lead by example set the bar high for his teammates to follow. His attention to detail, game attendence and love for the game was evident every time Cody walked on the field whether it was to practice or play in a game. He epitomizes the phrase - "when your best player is your hardest worker" - "it makes coaching that much easier". Cody is entering his second year as Skyline JC's starting rightfielder. During his first year Cody was 2nd Team All-Conference and a Finalist for Rawlings Gold Glove Award.

Timothy Quiery (2007) (2008-2009-2010)
Quiery On Fire
At San Jose State
TQ helped lead Serra to WCAL crown as a junior on the varsity team in 2008. The left-hander was previously the Most Valuable Player for the WCAL champion junior varsity squad in 2007, and the MVP of the WCAL-winning freshman team in 2006. San Jose State Head Coach Piraro comments: “Timmy Quiery is a good story. When I first saw Tim, he stuck out in my mind as a young man that had a lot of character and class on the field. Hustled, competed, didn’t say much, and did all the things we asked him to do. He had an interest in San Jose State, so of course, we established a relationship, in terms of following him. He can play first base, he can play the outfield, he’s a left-handed hitter, and he’s going to get bigger and stronger as his career develops. Tim’s coming from a very good program at Serra, and we’re anxious to get him here at San Jose State.” Coach Pritchard's comments:“Tim Quiery is a very energetic player. He’s got a lot of versatility. He can run, he can throw, he can play first base, he can play center field, right field, left field. He does a lot of things that we require for Spartan Baseball. He takes care of a lot of the details of the game. We look for him to come in, add a spark to our lineup, and be a solid young player that will grow into everything that Spartan Baseball is about.”

Dario Bortolotto 2009
"We couldn't be happier to add Dario this early to our program," said 20th year Head Coach Beauford Sanders. "He is unquestionably the right fit for our program and his ceiling is high. As he works in our program, I could see Dario being a guy sooner rather than later." Bortolotto will be playing his senior year at Serra High School in this spring and will likely be in Serra's starting rotation. Serra is the same high school that NFL MVP quarterback Tom Brady and MLB home run leader Barry Bonds attended. Bortolotto played his fall baseball with the All Star Academy Titans, a premier college showcase team in the Bay Area. While on the Titans, Bortolotto played for Joe Gerber, helping the Titans to their best finish in program history. Bortolotto is the first signee in what will be a massive recruiting class as the Tigers will be losing a slew of seniors in 2010. "We know Dario will come right in and be a guy that we love having in the program," added Sanders. "He has the un-teachable bulldog mentality that we demand of any player that plays in our program."
