Blake Beemer was hired in June of 2022 to lead the Butler Baseball program as head coach. In his first season at the helm, Beemer guided the Bulldogs to conference series wins at Seton Hall and Georgetown, two of the four teams that made up the BIG EAST Championship Tournament field in 2023. Butler also won at #9 UConn (11-8) marking the highest win against a ranked opponent in program history!
After the 2023 regular season, Butler’s Joey Urban was named BIG EAST Freshman of the Year. The Bulldog outfielder was later added to Collegiate Baseball’s All-American Team for his outstanding efforts on the field. In the classroom, BU posted a team GPA of 3.38.
Before arriving at Butler, Beemer was an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Ball State for four seasons (2019-22), Beemer helped the Cardinals to a 123-65 record.
