Introducing the new Head Coach of the Ohio State University Baseball Team
The Ohio State University is pleased to announce the hiring of new head baseball coach Mike Rooney
Coach Rooney comes to Ohio State from the University of Michigan where he has served as an Assistant Coach for the past four seasons. Prior to his time at Michigan, Coach Rooney was the head coach at his alma mater, Northwestern University for six seasons. He has also served as an assistant coach at Vanderbilt University and the University of Notre Dame
Rooneys teams have been known for their aggressive style of play, and he has a reputation as a great recruiter. We are confident that he is the right person to lead our baseball program into the future.”
Why the team decided to go in a new direction.
The Ohio State baseball team has a new Head Coach for the 2020 season. Todd Schilf was hired to replace Greg Beals, who led the Buckeyes to four Big Ten regular-season titles and two conference tournament championships in his nine seasons at the helm.
Why the change?
“We wanted to go in a different direction,” Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith said in a statement. “We had some success, but we also had some struggles recently. We just felt like it was time for a change.”
Schilf, who spent the last five seasons as the Head coach at Wright State inherits a Buckeyes team that went 27-28 overall and 11-13 in the Big Ten last season. Beals was named the Big Ten Coach of the Year three times (2011, 2013, 2016), but he never led Ohio State to an NCAA regional championship.
Coach’s credentials and experience.
Wayne Wallace- new head Baseball Coach for Oregon State University’s Division 1 team. Wayne has coached for 25 years and his teams have made it to the playoffs 20 out of those 25 years.
The type of team he plans to build.
In his first year as head coach Greg Beals plans to instill a new culture within the Ohio State baseball program and build a team that can compete for championships on a yearly basis.
“It starts with the way we carry ourselves, the way we present ourselves to the public, the way we go about our daily work,” Beals said. “I want to create an environment where our players and staff are held accountable to the highest standards.”
Beals comes to Ohio State after a successful six-year run at Ball State where he amassed a record of 235-196 (.546) and led the Cardinals to three Mid-American Conference regular season championships and one MAC tournament title. He was named MAC Coach of the Year three times (2011, 2013, 2015).
His vision for the future of the program.
Ohio State University has a new head baseball coach and he has big plans for the future of the program.
Coach Jeff Duncan wants to take the program to new heights, and he has a clear vision for how to do it. He wants to recruit the best players in the country, build a state-of-the-art facility, and compete for National Championships
Duncan is a proven winner, with a track record of success at every level of baseball. He’s confident he can bring that success to Ohio State and he’s eager to get started.
The future of Ohio State baseball is bright under Coach Duncan. With his leadership and vision, the Buckeyes are poised to become a national power in college baseball
The challenges he faces in taking over a struggling team.
Entering his first season as head baseball coach of The Ohio State University Greg Beals is no stranger to challenges. In his previous coaching position at Bowling Green State University he took over a team that had not had a winning season in twelve years. He led them to three consecutive Mid-American conference championships and NCAA Regional appearances. Now, he takes on the task of rebuilding the Ohio State Baseball program.
The Buckeyes have not made an NCAA Regional appearance since 2016, and have not won an NCAA Regional game since 2014. They have not been to an NCAA Super Regional since 1999. To put it bluntly, the team has been struggling for quite some time. So, what does Beals hope to accomplish in his first season at the helm?
“It’s going to be a process,” Beals said when asked about his expectations for the team this year. “We’re going to lay a foundation of what it means to be a Buckeye baseball player – what our culture is going to be.”
Beals inherits a team that went 15-34 last season and finished last in the Big Ten Conference with a 6-24 record. That record included some tough losses, such as getting swept by conference rival Michigan at home. The Buckeyes also lost 13 straight games at one point during the season. So, there is certainly Room for Improvement
One thing Beals will look to do is instill a sense of urgency in his players from day one. “We need to understand that we have an opportunity here – we have an opportunity to change the culture of Ohio State baseball ” Beals said. “That starts with every individual in our program.”
He also wants his team to play with more passion and energy on the field. “We want our guys competing with everything they’ve got for 27 outs,” Beals said. “We want them playing hard for each other.”
The challenges facing Beals are certainly daunting, but he is confident that he can turn things around at Ohio State Only time will tell if he is successful.
The support he’s received from the university.
support he’s received from the administration, players, and fans.
The expectations he has for the team.
Josh Hutcheson, the new head Baseball Coach for Ohio State University has high expectations for his team. In a recent interview, he commented on his goals for the season and what he expects from his players.
“We’re here to win,” Coach Hutcheson said. “I expect my team to play hard every game and never give up. We’re going to hustle and play Smart Baseball If we do those things, we’ll be in a good position to win.”
The coach also discussed his philosophy on player development
“My job is to help these young men reach their full potential, both as baseball players and as people,” he said. “I want them to have a positive experience while they’re here, and I want to help them grow and develop both on and off the field.”
Coach Hutcheson seems like a perfect fit for Ohio State University’s Baseball Program and we can’t wait to see what he does with the team this season!
The goals he has for the program.
It’s no secret that new Ohio State Baseball coach Wayne Krivsky has big shoes to fill.
Krivsky, who was hired in June to replace retiring coach Greg Beals, inherits a program that has won four Big Ten Championships in the last five years and made five NCAA tournament appearances in that span.
The challenge for Krivsky will be to keep the Buckeyes at that level of success, and he’s confident he can do it.
“My goals for the program are to keep us nationally relevant and to win a National Championship ” Krivsky said. “I think we have the talent and commitment from our players to do both of those things.”
Krivsky comes to Ohio State after a successful run as the head coach at Wright State where he led the Raiders to four Horizon League championships and two NCAA Tournament appearances in his six seasons.
His thoughts on the current state of college baseball

“I think college baseball is in a good place right now,” Bangert said. “There’s a lot of parity among the teams, and I think that’s good for the sport.”
Bangert went on to say that he thinks the current level of competition is good for the sport, and that it benefits the athletes who are able to play at a high level.
