Lindsay Meggs

Head Coach

There are indicators all over that Husky baseball is on its way back.

There are hulking backhoes along the western perimeter of Husky Ballpark building an overdue baseball operations facility.

There are former players pumped that dirt is actually being moved. There is momentum rising for the rest of the job: the complete renovation of Husky Ballpark.

There are NCAA rules changes that have reduced the potency of aluminum bats and bent the game more toward UW's new, small-ball ways.

Jason Kelly

Assistant Coach

Jason Kelly joined the Washington baseball staff as pitching coach in August of 2012, moving to the UW after having spent the last six seasons developing a top-notching pitching staff at Cal Poly.

Last season, Coach Kelly led the Cal Poly pitching staff to a stellar 3.48 earned run average, led by a pair of starters, Joey Wagman and Kyle Anderson. Wagman posted a 9-3 record and a 2.33 ERA with just 21 walks in 108.1 innings while Anderson was 10-1 with a 3-40 ERA, walking just 16 in 92.2 frames.

As a staff, Cal Poly pitchers surrendered just 155 bases on balls in 499 innings last season, good enough to rank No. 27 in the nation (out of 291 Division I teams) in walks per nine innings.

In 2011, under Kelly's direction, the Mustangs posted a team ERA of 3.60, with 152 walks in 460.1 innings. The 3.60 ERA was the best in Cal Poly's 17-year Division I existence to that point (and was bested by the 3.48 mark the following season).
