MARK MAGDALENO

 Mark Magdaleno, a switch hitting catcher, played collegiately at Westmont College and in Canada. Magdaleno earned a BA in History and Secondary Education from Westmont College in 2010.

"I still get to call him Marky, but you will all know him as Mags. Marky just finished up his collegiate baseball career and graduated with a degree in History and Secondary Education. Yes, he is my son and I am very proud to announce that he will become part of the family business this summer. Marky brings plenty of experience to our program, in fact, he never attended pre-school. Instead he packed his bags and headed off to Cal Lutheran University with me and made himself comfortable in a dugout and in a clubhouse while I coached. Marky will be our roving catching coach, infield coach, bunting coach and assist in the development of the hittters. Marky may find himself in charge of a age group if the need arises. Marky has worked many camp, clinics and lessons and he has shown the ability to teach in a quite and professinal manner and I am excited to have him back home and working with us."

TERRY BAUER 

"TB is in his second year with our program and has had a positive influence on our players in clinics, camps and lessons. He will be the head coach in charge of the 5,6 and 7 year old group, which is one of the most challenging age divisions in our program. The coach that leads this division must have the ability to teach with patience and ethusiasm. TB has those qualities and when you combine those characteristics with his knowledge of the game you have the perfect baseball man to lead our youngest group." -- Coach Mark Magdaleno on Terry Bauer

Infield, Team Defense and Hitting Instrutor

One of the best things to happen to Ventura County and its baseball tradition is Jim returning to the high school level where he can use his knowledge and his connections to help his high school players get better and move on to the next level. I'm not sure if he is the only player to come from Ventura County to be named a NCAA Division I All-American, but I am pretty confident that he is the only player from this area to be named All-American and also receive the Outstanding College Athlete of America Award. As an organization we are fortunate to have his talent in our clubhouse and I know that our players will benefit from his knowledge and from his ability to communicate that knowledge.

"I put my first uniform on when I was four and I still wear one 45 years later. Every time I put my uniform on I still feel like the little kid from Saticoy. For the past 26 years my baseball uniform has been my business suit. What I have learned about my profession is that the men who succeed in the game for a long period of time surround themselves with the best coaches they can find. That's only half the battle. You then have to shed your ego and allow them to teach without micro managing.  The 2009 summer coaching staff is as good a group as you will find. This staff knows the game, they understand the mechanics of the game's physical movements, they understand the game's nauances and they can teach. They approach coaching with enthusiasm and respect for the game. They enjoy working with our country's most iimportant natural resource, which is the youth of America. You will find that your young people are being taught baseball and life skills by leaders, who deserve the time honored title known as "A Baseball Man". I'm excited that they are part of our organization."
