Tracy Smith is in his third season as Indiana baseball's head coach. In his two years at the helm of the Hoosiers, IU is 41-69. In 2007, Smith led one of the youngest teams in the country, with 19 freshmen and six sophomores, to a 19-win season. The Hoosiers scored a 7-9 record at home in Big Ten play, including series splits with two of the conference's top three teams, Penn State and Minnesota. IU finished the year by taking back-to-back contests from the Golden Gophers, who earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament.

The 2000 Ohio College Coach of the Year, Smith directed that season's squad to its first MAC Tournament Championship since 1983. The RedHawks also went on to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1983, playing in the Arizona State Regional, where they notched a victory over Creighton.

A four-year letterwinner from 1985 through 1988, Smith was a shortstop, third baseman and pitcher for the RedHawks. In 1988, Smith spent three seasons as a minor league pitcher and infielder in the Chicago Cubs' organization from 1988-1990. Smith began his coaching career in 1990 as head coach at the Miami University-Middletown campus. During the 1993 and 1994 seasons, Smith was an assistant coach at Miami. Over that span, Smith served as hitting instructor and worked with infielders and outfielders before heading to Bloomington.

The Reds Stars Youth Baseball Camp will be Co-Directed by Dan Simonds, Head Baseball Coach of the Miami University RedHawks. Coach Simonds is in his 2nd year as the head coach at Miami University, after serving as head coach at Xavier University in 2005. Prior to his time at Xavier, Dan spent 5 years as an assistant for the RedHawks.
