Brandon Crum was named the 24th head baseball coach in Allegheny program history on August 28, 2017.
A native of neighboring Saegertown, Pennsylvania, Crum returned to Allegheny after serving as the team's assistant coach from 2012-16.
Crum spent the 2017 season as head coach at Mercyhurst University-North East, and quickly made his mark. After a slow start, he rallied his squad to nine wins in its final 12 games of the regular season to advance to the NJCAA Region III playoffs. The Saints then swept rival Monroe Community College to earn their first regional championship since 2014, and advance to the NJCAA District Tournament.
After orchestrating the mid-season turnaround, Crum was named the NJCAA Region III Coach of the Year, while seven Saints earned All-Region accolades, highlighted by Dalton Donachie, who was named both NJCAA Regional Pitcher of the Year and Mercyhurst North East Male Athlete of the Year.
From 2012-16, Crum served as Allegheny's recruiting coordinator, while also handling the team's pitchers and catchers, calling pitches and in-game defenses, assisting with designing and implementing off-season strength and conditioning programs, and assisting with the organization of a number of youth camps and clinics. The Gators went a combined 97-60 overall, and 48-23 in the North Coast Athletic Conference over the span, qualifying for the NCAC Championship Tournament in three of the four years, including a trip to the conference title game in 2013.
Over Crum's first stint with the Gators, 12 players earned a total of 20 All-NCAC accolades, highlighted by [Joe Killian](http://alleghenygators.com/roster.aspxrp_id=5214) '16, who was named the 2013 NCAC Newcomer of the Year, 2016 NCAC Player of the Year, and 2016 D3Baseball.com All-America, while earning four straight All-NCAC selections. [Chase Boyer](http://alleghenygators.com/roster.aspxrp_id=5848) '17 was a three-time All-NCAC pick and was tabbed the conference's Pitcher of the Year in 2016, as the Gators swept the league's major awards for the first time since 1993. Killian and Boyer were also named All-Region by both D3Baseball.com and the American Baseball Coaches Association in 2016, marking the second straight season for Killian to earn the honor, after he joined teammate Zach Gray on the list in 2015.
Crum began his affiliation with Allegheny baseball in 2010, when he worked as a volunteer assistant coach leading to his appointment to full-time assistant in August 2012. During his time as a volunteer assistant, he also served as Director of Athletics and Facilities at nearby Conneaut Area School District, where he was responsible for coordinating the scheduling for all athletic events, including officials and transportation, developing the district's athletic budget, and overseeing the hiring of district coaches.
He started his coaching career at the American Legion level, as he manned the helm of Saegertown's French Creek Valley squad for nine seasons, accumulating a record of 150-30. His teams won 20 or more games in six different years and earned five district championships, while advancing to the Region 8 title game in four straight seasons between 2011-14.
A catcher, Crum played collegiately at Gannon University, serving as a three-year team captain. A 2010 All-Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference selection at catcher, he was named to the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) All-Academic team in 2008, before earning the same accolade in the PSAC in both 2009 and '10. He ranks in the top-10 in Gannon career history in fielding percentage (.970), putouts (444), and hit-by-pitches (24), while he owns two of the program's top five single-season totals in sacrifice bunts.
Crum graduated from Gannon in 2010 with a B.S. in Finance, before going on to earn a Masters in Sports Administration from Lock Haven University.
He and wife Ashley are the parents of son Griffin and daughter Zoe, and reside in Woodcock Township.

MORAGA, Calif. Saint Mary's Baseball has hired Jack Meggs to join the Gaels coaching staff after serving as the hitting coach at the University of Kansas during the 2021-22 school year.
Meggs will be in charge of working with Gael hitters and outfielders and will also be integral in coaching base running and in recruiting. Before becoming the full-time hitting coach at Kansas in August of 2021, he served as a graduate assistant with the Jayhawks while earning his master's degree in sports management.
"Jack Meggs is one of the brightest, most well-rounded, young coaches in the country," said SMC Head Coach [Greg Moore](https://smcgaels.com/coaches.aspxrc=1283). "He's the rare combo of knowledge, work-ethic, and genuine care for players. He guides them to be their best. With Coach Meggs, Saint Mary's will continue to be one of the best places in the country to develop as a pro and as a person."
The Seattle, Wash. native was a communications major at the University of Washington where he was a major part of the Husky lineup for four years. As a Husky, Meggs helped lead the team to regionals at both Ole Miss and Vanderbilt. He finished his career at Washington ranked fourth all time in both games started and games played.
In 2016, Meggs was an All-Pac 12 First Team selection as a center fielder and was also named to the All-Pac 12 Defensive Team. A two-year captain for the Huskies, Meggs was selected All-Pac 12 again in 2017 on his way to being a 10th round pick (291st overall) by the Oakland A's.
Shortly after his arrival, Meggs was selected New York Penn League Player of the Week after homering twice and hitting over .500 during week one of the 2017 season where hit .290 in 20 games that year.
After two years in the A's organization Meggs went on to sign a free-agent deal with the Milwaukee Brewers in 2020, but ultimately landed at KU following the cancellation of the 2020 Minor League Baseball season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
"I want to congratulate Coach Moore on hiring Jack Meggs as an assistant coach at Saint Mary's," said the recently-retired former Kansas Head Coach Ritch Price. "Coach Meggs is a rising star in our game. He brings energy, enthusiasm and passion to the ballpark every day. I know he will be successful in helping Saint. Mary's achieve their goals on the field, in the classroom, and in the community."
In his first year with the Jayhawk hitters he guided a potent offense that more than doubled home run output from the previous season, from 27 to 55. The team batting average jumped by six points, extra base hits by 30%, stolen bases by nearly 20%, and four hitters were named All Big 12.
"First off I'd like to thank Coach Price for the opportunity he gave me at the University of Kansas," Meggs said. "He is one of the great mentors in our game and a future Hall of Famer, I can't thank him enough. That being said I'm honored to have the chance to work with Coach Moore and his staff, and to join the SMC family. I've enjoyed getting to know the players and I can't wait until we're all on field together for day one. Go Gaels!"
Meggs was born in Chico, CA to Teresa and Lindsay Meggs. Lindsay was the Head Baseball Coach at the University of Washington from 2010-2022 and Teresa is a registered nurse in the Seattle area.
Meggs has an older brother, Joe, and older sister, Kelly. Joe served as an assistant coach at the University of Washington, where he played collegiately before spending time in the Los Angeles Dodgers farm system. Kelly played college basketball at UC Irvine and college softball at the University of Washington before becoming a physical therapist in the southern California area.

Assistant Coach, Recruiting Coordinator
Cal State-Bakersfield
Division 1
Quinn Hawksworth was named as an assistant coach with CSU Bakersfield Baseball on September 14, 2020.
Hawksworth comes to Bakersfield after spending the 2020 season in a volunteer position with Big West Rival, UC Santa Barbara. He is expected to work with Roadrunner hitters and infielders, while handling recruiting responsibilities for CSUB. He coached hitters and infielders for the Gauchos last season, helping UCSB to a 13-2 mark on the strength of 37 extra-base hits and ten home runs.
Prior to coaching at UCSB, Hawksworth spent as an assistant at Belmont Abbey in Belmont, N.C. He worked with outfielders and hitters at BAC during the 2019 season, leading the Crusaders offense to a .393 on-base average and a .419 slugging-percentage, while mentoring a pair of 15-home run hitters.
Hawksworth was an assistant at Saddleback College during the 2018 season. The Gauchos finished that season 33-14 and reached the Elite Eight round of the CCCAA Playoffs.
In 2017, he was an assistant with Linn-Benton Community College in Albany, Ore. With LBCC, Hawksworth coached catchers and first baseman and aiding the Roadrunners to a 30-12 record and a Southwest League Championship.
Hawksworth started his collegiate career as an assistant director of operations at Oregon State University in 2016.
I want to thank Coach Beard and all of CSUB Athletics for this incredible opportunity, Hawksworth expressed. My family and I are excited to join this community and be a part of this program. Bakersfield is a special place and the CSUB Baseball has such a high ceiling, with the potential to accomplish so much on and off the field. Im blessed to be a part of the growth and development of this program and our student-athletes.
Hawksworth was a two-year starter at Belmont Abbey, and a Conference Carolinas Honor Roll selection during his NCAA playing career. He also played two seasons at Green River Community College in Auburn, Wash.

As part of our COVID-19 safety plan, the indoor sessions traditionally held on the first day of camp will be shared online.
Sessions will be accessible for the week prior to camp. They are available on-demand and can be completed at the athlete's
convenience.
This approach allows us to continue offering these valuable sessions so athletes arrive to camp ready to maximize the experience,
while still maintaining a safe experience.

Parent
My son attending your camp over the weekend and I must tell you that it was an amazing experience for both of us. I was very impressed with the one on one contact with the coaches representing California. This camp has opened my son's eyes to all the talented ball players that are competing for baseball positions within the organizations. He was given guidance to improve his performance on the field as well as in the classroom. I am so glad we were able to take part in this camp, again it was an amazing experience. Also, the attention given to the parents on understanding the process and knowing what to expect was an eye opener to us. I truly look forward to the next one and cannot wait to see how my son has improved on the field. He is also working on improving his GPA, like you mentioned it about their transcripts not how fast they can throw. Thank you for the wonderful insight and we look forward to future camps with ExactSports.
Coach, USA Baseball
The most unique thing that makes EXACT different from other camps is how they teach the athletes how to talk to coaches and hold a conversation with a college coach. The camps offer a great opportunity to gain exposure that they wouldn't get otherwise. Not only do they allow players to showcase themselves in front of college coaches, they will also receive an evaluation on how they performed throughout the day.
Coach
This camp was unique in that it embraced a competitive atmosphere for the majority of the time the kids were out on the field. It enabled the coaches to see not only a players skills on the diamond, but their competitive make up as well. This aspect of the EXACT Baseball Camp keeps the day up tempo and fun for everyone involved.
