Brian Disch
Head Coach

Brian Disch enters his first season as head coach for the Wayne State College baseball program. He served as hitting coach for five seasons (2005-09) before being named interim head coach on July 1, 2009. He also worked as the position coach and was third base coach for the Wildcats the past three seasons.

Under the coaching of Disch, WSC ranked fifth in NCAA Division II in runs scored per game (9.5) during the 2009 season while also ranking fifth in home runs (93), a new school record, and seventh in slugging percentage (.569). As a team, WSC posted a 45-15 record in 2009, winning a sixth straight Northern Sun Conference regular season title with a 27-4 league record, the most wins ever by a NSIC team in league play. The Wildcats advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the sixth straight season and reached the Central Regional title game before falling to top-seed Mesa State of Colorado 8-2. It was the second time in the last five seasons that WSC advanced to the regional championship game.

Disch is no stranger to the Wildcat baseball program, having played under Coach John Manganaro from 1999-2004. He earned First Team All-Northern Sun Conference honors as a senior in 2004, hitting .301 for the season with 11 home runs and 38 RBI's. He was also selected the Most Valuable Player in the 2004 NSIC Tournament, helping WSC win a second straight NSIC championship. He was a member of the 2001 and 2004 Central Region teams at WSC.

Besides excelling on the field, Disch also achieved success in the classroom. He was named the 2002-03 Male Scholar Athlete at Wayne State College and was named to the NSIC All-Academic Team three times during his WSC career. Disch has also helped coach Legion baseball in Norfolk during the summer. In 2006, he coached the Norfolk Elkhorn Valley Bank Junior Legion team.

Disch, a native of Norfolk, Neb., also worked two years in the WSC Sports Information office while pursuing his master's degree in math education, which he achieved in 2007. Brian and his wife Lisa reside in Norfolk with their three-year-old daughter Allison and newborn son Caleb.
