SPORTS Saturday, June 4, 2022 East Oregonian B3 Blue Mountain Community College baseball coach steps down Baker will take over as athletic director By ANNIE FOWLER East Oregonian PENDLETON — After nine years at the helm, Blue Mountain Community College baseball coach Brad Baker is stepping down. Baker isn’t going very far. He is taking over as athletic director. “For the last 20 years, I’ve been playing or coaching college baseball,” Baker said. “It’s really tough to let base- ball go. I will still be a part of it. I get to hire my replace- ment and mentor them on the job.” Baker, 40, is one of the win ningest coaches in the BMCC baseball program with 115 w i n s. Baker The Timber- wolves won 22 games in 2019, which ranks second in school history. BMCC won 24 games in 2009. The Timberwolves had a tough season this spring, fi nishing 2-26 in the NWAC East and 4-44 overall. “We had 12 guys injured Kathy Aney/East Oregonian, File Blue Mountain Community College head baseball coach Brad Baker watches a player practice hitting in March 2020. Baker in the fall of 2022 steps down as the baseball coach and into the role of the college’s athletic director. for the entire year,” Baker said. “They were a good bunch. They kept getting better.” What Baker is most proud of during his tenure, is help- ing 60 baseball players move on to four-year schools. In May, BMCC ranked at the top of the list of colleges in the nation with the most active players at the NAIA level with 21. “That’s your goal to get kids on a good start and continue their baseball career and academic career, if that’s their goal,” Baker said. “Moving those kids on has been great. I tell them if they do well on the fi eld and in the classroom they can move on. I’m happy to help them along in their journey.” Baker, a 2001 graduate of Hanford High School in Richland, was a pitcher at BMCC (2003-04) before moving on to play at Pacifi c University. He still holds the BMCC school record for lowest ERA (1.04) for a relief pitcher. During the 2002 season, Baker was a student at Washington State Univer- sity, but was not playing baseball. “Some other Hanford kids were asked to come tryout (at BMCC) and I called the coach (Brett Bryan) and asked him if I could come too,” said Baker, who was a catcher in high school. “I walked on my fi rst year and was the third string catcher in the bullpen. Then I became a pitcher.” After his playing days were over, Baker spent seven years as the pitching coach at Pacific University. He returned to BMCC and took over the head job in 2013 when Bryan stepped down. Baker picked up his 100th win with the Timberwolves on March 1, 2020, when his team earned a 5-2 home win over Grays Harbor. BMCC will open up the coaching position in a couple of weeks. Rest assured, the next coach will not be scrambling for players. “The team is pretty much full for next year,” Baker said. “The new coach won’t have much to do.” EASTERN OREGON marketplace Place classified ads online at www.easternoregonmarketplace.com or call 1-800-962-2819 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
