New Mexico State Director of Athletics Mario Moccia announced Jake Angier as the 12th head baseball coach in Aggie history on Monday, June 19, 2023.
A native of Bellevue, Wash., Angier capped off a four-year stint at the University of Oregon with three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, including a trip to the 2023 Super Regionals. Finishing with 41 wins in 2023, the Ducks posted the fourth-winningest season in program history. In addition, the Ducks also knocked off 26 ranked opponents in four seasons under Angier's watch, including seven wins over top-ten teams.
One of Baseball America's Top 50 Names to Watch in 2023's coaching cycle, Angier has a proven track record of developing pitchers and a winning culture. Through 15 seasons as a pitching coach, Angier has coached 32 MLB Draft picks, eight MLB players, five All-Americans, and three Freshman All-Americans. Angier's teams have also appeared in five of the past six NCAA Tournaments (2023, '22, '21, '19, and '17).
Throughout his career as a pitching coach, Angier has coached at four different Division I schools (Oregon, Sacramento State, North Dakota State, and South Dakota State) and in three different conferences (Pac-12, Western Athletic, and Summit). In addition to several all-conference pitchers, he has tutored five All-Americans, three freshman All-Americans and four all-region pitchers.
Just one win away from a trip to Omaha and the Men's College World Series, Angier and the 2023 Ducks earned a trip to the Super Regionals for just the second time in program history. Oregon finished the '23 season with 41 wins – The highest total since the 2014 season.
