Chad Oxendine is entering his third season on the Richmond baseball staff. He works primarily with the catchers and baserunners. A former collegiate catcher, Oxendine brings a wealth of collegiate experience with him as a player at Coastal Carolina and most recently as the volunteer assistant at Alabama. Last season, Richmond finished third in the A-10 in stolen bases (88), with Adam McConnell's 31 leading all NCAA rookies. Both Richmond startting catchers -- Evan Stehle and Chris Cowell -- finished among the league's leaders in fielding percentage. Oxendine, who spent 2007 with the Crimson Tide, played four years at Coastal Carolina and led the Chanticleers to four-straight Big South Conference titles and NCAA Regional berths between 2001 and 2004. Oxendine was a four-year letterman and co-captain his junior and senior years for Coach Gary Gilmore at CCU, playing during the winningest four-year stretch in team history (171-80). He was named Second Team All-Big South as a senior and made the Big South All-Championship Team that year. Following his collegiate career, Oxendine signed as a free agent with the Chicago White Sox, where he spent one season with the Bristol (Va.) White Sox in the short season Appalachian League. During the 2006 season, he served as the volunteer assistant coach at UNC-Wilmington. The Seahawks posted a 42-22 overall record and played in the NCAA Regional. A 1999 graduate of Avalon Academy in Dillon, S.C., Oxendine led the Falcons to the AA State Championship, posting a 25-3 record as a junior in 1998. He batted .639 with 11 home runs and 39 RBIs and added 16 doubles and 44 stolen bases in that championship season. The native of Lumberton, N.C., holds a bachelor's degree from Coastal Carolina in physical education. |
