Brad Hill, the most successful baseball coach in Kansas State history, will step down at the end of the season, the school announced Tuesday.
Hill will depart K-State after 15 years in which he guided the Wildcats to unprecedented heights, including 463 victories, four NCAA Tournament appearances, one Super Regional and a Big 12 championship.
But the team has been on a steady decline since 2013, when the Wildcats nearly reached the College World Series and K-State rewarded Hill with a five-year contract extension. They have not played in a NCAA regional since and are currently in last place of the Big 12 standings with an overall record of 18-29 and a conference mark of 3-18.
