Mitch Hannahs-Head Coach
|
|
This is Coach Hannahs' sixth year at the helm of the Statesmen. He has led the Statesmen to a Region 24 title in 2005 and the GRAC Conference Championship in 2006.
Hannahs is a former All-American infielder at Indiana State where he helped the Sycamores to three NCAA playoff appearances including a trip to the college World Series in 1986. He was a 16th round draft pick of the Milwaukee Brewers, spending 5 seasons in the Brewers organization before returning to ISU and beginning his coaching career.
Since his arrival on the LTC campus in the fall of 2001, Hannahs has over 40 Statesmen go on to play at NCAA D-1 programs and many more continue their playing careers at other levels of college baseball. His impact has also been felt in the classroom with the Statesmen teams achieving a cumulative team GPA of 3.0 or higher in each of his first 5 years. The 2006 team was named the NJCAA Academic Team of the Year with a GPA of 3.28.
While at ISU; Hannahs spent 5 years as the hitting and infield coach, and his final two as the pitching coach.
His years as an assistant at ISU were highlighted by a 1995 NCAA playoff appearance, and the team finishing second in the nation in batting with a .340 batting average. In 2000, he switched to the defensive side, becoming the pitching coach at ISU. The impact was felt immediately as the young Sycamores finished in the top half of the Missouri Valley Conference in ERA both years he was in charge of the staff. Coach Hannahs and his wife Amy are the proud parents of Derek, Kylee and Kaleb.
