The BGSU head coach enters his 19th season needing just 11 victories to reach the 500-win milestone, a plateau no other coach in school history has reached. Schmitz, who as a player helped Eastern Michigan to two College World Series berths, played eight years of professional baseball before spending two years as a manager on the professional level. This season will be his 22nd season of coaching on the collegiate level.
During Schmitz's tenure, he has produced 25 players who have been drafted or signed a professional contract. The two-time MAC Coach of the Year has also produced six Mid-American Conference championship teams and 11 players who have earned All-American honors, including two Academic All-Americans. BG players have earned All-MAC honors 50 times during the tenure of Schmitz.
