Assistant Baseball Coach - Recruiting Director/Coordinator

• 2016 - 2019

Recruiting Coordinator: Took the lead in identifying new Student-Athletes that would be a good organizational fit for the University of Indianapolis and UIndy's Baseball team. I would assist in scheduling out which coach would be at which event in order to scout prospective players. Also managed the prospect board keeping it up to date and accurate on where each new recruit was in their recruiting process. I was also one of 3 coaches on staff responsible for Scholarship Budgeting and tracking. During my time at UIndy I had a major impact on defining the offensive productivity formula that the program still uses to date. It is an in-depth look at the performance rate and value of each plate appearance outcome. Unlike batting average it took in account the situation of the game and how it immediately impacted the probability of winning. I was responsible for anything that would relate to helping run a NCAA DII College Baseball program. i.e. Travel logistics, practice planning, pre and post game responsibilities, etc. Most importantly I was partially responsible for the overall supervision of 50-60 Student-Athletes on and off the field of play.
