Astoria’s Dane Lund joins Knights coaching ranks
By BROOKS HATCH
Corvallis Knights
CORVALLIS — A very
familiar face will man the
first-base coaching box for
the Corvallis Knights this
summer.
Astoria High graduate
and former Oregon State
catcher Dane Lund, the only
four-year Knight since the
inception of the West Coast
League in 2005, has joined
head coach Brooke Knight’s
staff as an assistant.
Lund recently complet-
ed his collegiate career
with the Beavers, and made
his coaching debut June 3,
when the Knights opened
the 2015 campaign with a
30-1 victory over the Port-
land Sea Dogs in a non-
league game at Goss Stadi-
um.
A 23-year-old native of
Astoria and former three-
sport star with the Fisher-
men, Lund hit .310 (18-for-
58) as a reserve catcher and
designated hitter in his lone
season at Oregon State, af-
ter transferring from San
Jose State.
“I’m real excited. I think
coaching is what I want to
do for a career,” Lund said.
“I feel very fortunate to
have the relationship I do
with Brooke, with (pitch-
ing coach) Connor Lambert
and (team president) Dan

“I’ve grown to be very
comfortable in Corvallis.”
Lund will become the
second former OSU catch-
er on the staff. Knight let-
tered at OSU from 1992-
94 before concluding his
college career at Western
Oregon. Lund believes
his catching experience
will help him be a better
coach.
“I hope it benefits me a
lot,” Lund said. “I’m used
to calling pitches and know-
ing what to do in certain
situations. As a catcher you
always have to know where
everybody is on the field and
I think that aspect will be
very beneficial to coaching.”
Lund concluded his
Knights’ career last sum-
mer after redshirting at
OSU in 2014 following his
move from SJSU. He hit

“We are very excited
to have Dane on board,”
Knight said. “We know
what we have with him. I’m
looking forward to watch-
ing him begin his coaching
career.
“He brings value to the
organization. He commands
respect, even with the guys
he may have played with
recently, which is never an
easy position to be in. As far
as game savvy and purpose-
ful intent, Dane is a guy we
are really excited to have.”
