Contract extended- Baseball head coach commits to four more years

October 20, 2012 by Narine Adamova

Steve Rodriguez, Pepperdine’s head baseball coach, extended his contract with the university for the next four years on Sept. 13. He started his head coaching career at Pepperdine in 2003, and led the team to six NCAA Championships appearances.
Prior to being the head coach, Rodriguez worked as an assistant head coach for four years. While a student at Pepperdine, he contributed as a starting second baseman to the Waves NCAA championship title in 1992.
“Steve Rodriguez is an outstanding representative of Pepperdine and its mission and he provides excellent leadership to our student-athletes,” Pepperdine Director of Athletics Steve Potts said in a press release. “Continuity and stability are important to any program, so I’m pleased that Steve will be our head baseball coach for a 10th season this spring and for many years after that.’
Rodriguez was named to a list of the conference’s top 40 players in history in 2007 at the 40th anniversary of WCC players. Rodriguez is proud to be at the place connected to some of the most exciting memories.
“The biggest thing is I am alumnus from here. I played here and I met my wife here. There are only certain places that people can remember, like certain memories, for me Pepperdine is one of those places,” Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez is looking forward to a successful season and is determined to lead the team to a national title in 2013. He mentioned that one of his goals is to help the athletes grow as players and as people.
“We have really recruited some amazing kids; they are very good athletes,” Rodriguez said. “They do a lot of things for the community and they are tremendous people.”
