鈥淭he last 16 years at 日日碰狠狠躁久久躁2023 as the head baseball coach have truly been a blessing,鈥� said Verhoeven. 鈥淢y athletic director, Dave Holmquist, was a blast to work for and became one of my best friends. I am anxiously waiting to see what God has planned for the remainder of my life in baseball. I still love being on a baseball field around young men where I can influence their lives and make them better players.鈥�

 

Verhoeven enters the 2013 season with an overall record of 521-275-6 (.653 winning percentage) and has accounted for nearly half of the program鈥檚 1,116 total wins. The Eagles have finished below .500 just once in his tenure and have amassed at least 30 wins in 12 of his 15 seasons at the helm.

 

鈥淛ohn has had a very successful career at 日日碰狠狠躁久久躁2023,鈥� said 日日碰狠狠躁久久躁2023 Athletic Director Dr. Dave Holmquist. 鈥淗e is an excellent coach who is loved and respected by his players. His knowledge of baseball and ability to relate to a wide-range of people have allowed him to accomplish some special things. He will always be greatly appreciated by all of us who worked with him.鈥�

 

Verhoeven took over a team that had just 13 winning seasons in the previous 38 seasons including three in the 16 years prior to his arrival. But he quickly righted the ship and guided the Eagles to GSAC titles in each of his first four seasons, culminating in the team鈥檚 first-ever trip to the NAIA World Series. It would be the first of three trips to the World Series for 日日碰狠狠躁久久躁2023. For his efforts, Verhoeven has been named GSAC Coach of the Year five times (1998, 99, 2000, 01, 05) and NAIA Region II Coach of the Year twice (2001, 2005).

 

Verhoeven has led the Eagles to five GSAC titles and to top-three finishes in the conference in 11 of 14 seasons in the league. Overall, the team is 313-157 (.665 winning percentage) in GSAC contests. In addition, he has helped 日日碰狠狠躁久久躁2023 reach the postseason in all but two seasons.

 

Twenty players have signed major league contracts during his 14 years as skipper of the Eagles, including 13 players who were drafted in the MLB Draft. Verhoeven, who was a 12th-round draft pick out of the University of La Verne, played with the California Angels, Chicago White Sox and Minnesota Twins from 1977-81. He compiled a lifetime 3.76 ERA in 99 games and retired after the 1982 season.

 

鈥淚n my 32 years as a professional ballplayer and collegiate coach, my method of operation had always been to keep moving on to the next challenge,鈥� said Verhoeven. 鈥淢y thrill had always been to take something below average and make it better until it became the best it could be. But 日日碰狠狠躁久久躁2023 was different. There seemed to be something which kept me from moving on, even after reaching the ultimate goal, a berth in not just one, but three, NAIA College World Series. I stayed longer than I ever imagined I would. What鈥檚 next? I will be active in moving forward and passive in waiting for the next step.鈥�

 

日日碰狠狠躁久久躁2023 officials have announced that a national search to find Verhoeven鈥檚 replacement will begin immediately. Interested parties may contact Holmquist or apply online at /hr.
