Five years after leading K-State to it’s lone Big 12 Conference title in baseball, head coach Brad Hill has announced today that he is stepping down from his post at the end of the season. A search for his replacement, who will be the 21st coach in K-State history, is set to begin immediately.
When Hill arrived at K-State in 2004, he inherited a team that had just one winning season in the previous six seasons. He was coming off a DII College World Series championship at Central Missouri State* (and had never failed to win the MIAA in his 9 seasons in Warrensburg), and had to replace Mike Clark, then the winningest coach in K-State history with 435 wins in his 12 seasons in Manhattan.
