In this episode, we take a look at Bill Mosiello, the head coach of Ohio State’s baseball team. With nearly 30 years of collegiate coaching experience and seven years as a minor league manager, Mosiello has coached over 90 major league players, 28 All-Stars, and helped develop 2012 Cy Young award winner R.A. Dickey.
Before joining Ohio State, Mosiello spent nine seasons as the associate head coach at TCU, where he helped guide the Horned Frogs to four straight College World Series appearances and seven NCAA Tournaments. He was also instrumental in recruiting three Top 10 classes and led the Big 12 in batting average in two different seasons. Mosiello is one of the most respected offensive minds in the game, and the Horned Frogs flourished under his guidance.
Prior to TCU, Mosiello spent two seasons at Tennessee as the recruiting coordinator and hitting instructor, where he helped recruit a top 20 class each season and coached 11 players drafted in the MLB draft in first-year eligibility. He also spent time as the manager of the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim’s Double-A affiliate, the Arkansas Travelers, where he tutored MLB phenom Mike Trout for nearly two full seasons.
Mosiello’s coaching career started in 1987 at Cerritos College, where he won four South Coast Conference titles and two California state junior college championships in four seasons. He then moved to the Division I level in 1991, joining Augie Garrido’s staff at Cal State Fullerton, where the Titans advanced to the College World Series championship game in 1992.
