Mike DIaz, Centenary College, 2015 Baseball Coach of the Year

MIKE DIAZ OF CENTENRAY COLLEGE was named SCAC Baseball Coach of the Year for his job done during the 2015 season.

Diaz, in his 11th season with the Centenary College program and fifth as the team's head coach, has already established himself as the fourth winningest baseball coach in school history. He enters this year's conference tournament with a head coaching record of 103-97 (.515), which includes a three-year SCAC mark of 41-15 (.732) as well as one shared (2013) and one outright (2015) regular season conference title. This year's squad posted a 15-3 conference mark (22-14 overall) and swept Texas Lutheran on the final weekend of the regular season to secure the top seed and hosting privileges for the 2015 SCAC Baseball Tournament. This is Diaz's second SCAC Coach-of-the-Year honor as he was recognized as the league's co-COTY in 2013.

Diaz received five votes from his peers in the SCAC Coach-of-the-Year balloting. Greg Burnett of Texas Lutheran and Tim Scannell of Trinity each received one vote.
