SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Rusty Filter, the longtime associate head coach at Stanford under the legendary Mark Marquess, has been hired as Santa Clara's baseball coach.
Filter spent the last eight years at Stanford where he was among the top pitching coaches in the nation.
He helped the Cardinal reach the NCAA Tournament five times, including three trips to the Super Regional, and developed 20 pitchers who were selected in the MLB Draft, including seven this year, for Marquess who retired this month as the fourth-winningest coach in NCAA Division I history.
Filter, a standout pitcher for San Diego State, has the distinction of mentoring two top overall picks in the MLB Draft.
