Randy Tomlin helped usher Liberty’s baseball program into the NCAA Division I era, setting standards that have stood for decades following his standout three-year career with the team.
Tomlin finished his career with the Flames with 22 career complete games and four shutouts, both program records still held to this day. During his sophomore season, the left-handed pitcher tossed three shutouts in 1986, becoming one of three players to set the program’s single-season shutout record.
The native of Madison Heights, Va., pitched 11 innings in a 4-3 victory over Slippery Rock in 1986, the longest outing by a Liberty pitcher in program history. He finished his career with a 3-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio, tallying 211 strikeouts in 273.0 career innings pitched.
Tomlin was selected in the 18th round of the 1988 Major League Baseball draft and became the third player in program history to play at the major league level. He played five seasons in Pittsburgh, helping the Pirates to NL East Division titles in 1990-92. Following his professional career, Tomlin served 10 years on staff at Liberty as a pitching coach, helping the Flames capture Big South titles in 1998 and 2000.
