Loren Torres enters his 14th year as Point Park University baseball head coach for the upcoming 2023 season. He was hired in July 2009. Point Park baseball, which is tied for fifth all-time with 11 appearances in the NAIA World Series, has made its return to national relevance under coach Torres.
Coach Torres has a career record of 558-305 (.646) entering the 2023 season. In the first 13 seasons at Point Park, coach Torres has compiled a record of 451-201 (.692). He has averaged 35 wins per season at Point Park and 31 wins per year over his 18-year career, all in the NAIA. He was the head coach at Judson (Ill.) University for five years previously.
Torres became Point Park's all-time wins leader for baseball head-coaching victories on April 26, 2022. When he picked up his 444th win at Point Park, he passed the legendary Pioneers' coach Mark Jackson, who was 443-196 (.695) in 12 seasons and led the Pioneers two six NAIA World Series appearances.
Point Park has won six conference championships and been to six NAIA national tournaments during Torres' 13 years at the school. That includes a trip to the NAIA World Series in 2012, where the Pioneers finished fifth. Point Park has finished the season ranked in the NAIA Top 25 final poll seven times under Torres -- 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2018, 2021 and 2022.
