Chris "Skip" Hanks has been the Head Baseball Coach at Colorado Mesa University for past 31 years. This future Hall of Famer's coaching career includes 21 National Tournament appearances, four Division II World Series appearances, 12 RMAC Coach of the Year honors, and five Regional Coach of the Year awards. In 2019 and 2021, he was named the National Coach of the Year by the College Baseball News Writers Association. If that’s not enough for you, he has a career record of 1069 wins to only 413 losses. He’s 1 of 8 coaches to lead his teams to over a 1000 victories in the history of D2 baseball!
Coach has mentored 30+ players who have been drafted by MLB teams including a World Series Champion (Sergio Romo). He presently has 2 former players on MLB rosters, one at AAA, two at AA and a couple at A-Ball. If you are one of those people who think you have to play D1 to become a professional, Coach Hanks is proof in the pudding that it is more than possible.
We had a great conversation about youth, high school and travel ball, college recruiting, and what we would to if we could re-build youth baseball from scratch and start over. Enjoy!
