Meet The Coaches

Jim Schlossnagle, Texas: Schlossnagle enters his second season at Texas after arriving from Texas A&M, where he reestablished the Aggies as a national contender. One of the most respected coaches in college baseball, he’s totaled 990 career wins across previous stops at UNLV, TCU and Texas A&M, the sixth-most Division I victories among active skippers. Schlossnagle is looking to guide the Longhorns back to Omaha after last season’s early regional exit. 

Will Davis, Lamar: Davis is in his 10th season as Lamar’s head coach and 11th overall with the program, taking over from Jim Gilligan after serving as head coach in waiting in 2016. A former LSU assistant who helped the Tigers reach four College World Series, Davis has rebuilt the Cardinals into a consistent Southland contender, posting multiple 40-win seasons and winning the 2024 regular-season title.

What to Know About the Cardinals

Lamar had a busy offseason, adding 20 newcomers through the portal and earning the 23rd-ranked transfer class in the nation. Braden Benton and Balin Valentine from Northwestern State and Jake Wagoner from Seattle headline the incoming class.

On top of the newcomers, Lamar had 17 returnees, bringing vital continuity for a team attempting to break through its 13-year regional drought.

Despite dropping the final game of a recent series against Oakland University in extra innings, the Cardinals are positioned for an exciting season with a strong mix of returning talent and new contributors.
