2020 West Coast Conference Baseball Stock Watch
Eric Valenzuela, now the coach at Long Beach State, took a Saint Mary’s program with no history to speak of and turned it into a winner over the last five seasons. When he led the Gaels to a 33-25 record in 2016, it was the first time the team had finished more than one game over .500 overall since 1991. It was also the first time the program had ever finished atop its league’s standings, and the regional appearance that came at the end of the season was the program’s first ever. The program isn’t without its challenges moving forward, but Valenzuela certainly left it in better shape than when he found it, which should help new coach Greg Moore, formerly of Cal State Northridge and a successful assistant at San Francisco, hit the ground running. -- Baseball America
