2009 Cotuit Kettleers Coaching Staff #5 MIKE ROBERTS • FIELD MANAGER      Coach Roberts returns to Cotuit for his sixth consecutive season in 2009. During his coaching tenure in the Cape League, which includes 2 seasons in Wareham in 1984 and 2000, Coach Roberts has lead his team to the play-offs in 5 of those 7 seasons with the last trip being with the 2008 Western Division Champion Kettleers. From 1978 through 1998, Roberts was the head coach at the University of North Carolina and then went on to UNC-Asheville, where he coached in the spring of 2000. All totaled, Roberts' teams have made nine NCAA post-season appearances and two College World Series appearances. His teams have also had a strong history of being tops amid their ACC peers, five times capturing the ACC Regular Season Championship and four times the ACC Tournament Championship. Eight of Roberts' former players have been first round draft picks in the annual Major League Baseball First Year Player Draft. Sixteen of his former players have played in Major League Baseball. His lifetime collegiate coaching record is 850-450-3. His greatest individual coaching success is his own son, Brian Roberts, currently the two time all-star 2nd baseman for the Baltimore Orioles.      Five of Coach Roberts' former players are now collegiate head coaches, many are assistants, and several others work in professional baseball. "I am pleased so many of the fine young men I have recruited through the years continue to enjoy a career helping young men try to reach their academic, athletic, and career goals. Every summer in Cotuit the goal is to win a Cape League Championship. We strive to accomplish this goal with mature student/athletes from around the nation who embrace our wonderful community and their host families and want to be positive role models for the hundreds of youngsters who attend the ever-growing Kettleer baseball clinics."      Prior to managing Wareham to the Western Division regular season title in 2000, Roberts had led Wareham to the same title in 1984. Each of those two seasons, Roberts' Cape League teams led the entire League in stolen bases and continued this tradition with the 2007 Kettleers. In 2000, Roberts' Wareham team tied the Cape League all-time single season stolen base record.      In the off-season, Coach Roberts is studying part-time for his Doctorate in Sports Administration at the University of New Mexico and just completed writing a book on base stealing titled "You Can't Steal Second Base and Keep Your Foot on First!" published in Dec. 2008. His son Brian, who led the American League in stolen bases in 2007, contributed to the writing and included is a DVD showing Brian stealing bases for the Orioles.         Mike works for Athletes' Performance as the Business Development Manager for Baseball.
