Antelope Valley welcomes Bryan Moses as head baseball coach

LANCASTER - Antelope Valley College Baseball has announced Bryan Moses as the new head baseball coach of the Marauders. Moses is the seventh head baseball coach in Marauder history and brings with him a career record of 226-148. "We are beyond excited to have Bryan on board as our head coach. His experience and track record with winning programs brings tremendous value to AVC," said Tom Gang, Athletic Director and Dean of Athletics/Kinesiology.

Moses comes from McPherson College in Kansas, where he has spent the last five seasons as their head coach. The Bulldogs shattered numerous school records under his leadership, including accomplishing their highest winning percentage in team history by compiling a record of 38 – 15 (.717) in 2021. 38 wins was also a Bulldog record. After being ranked #17 in the country, the Bulldogs landed on the national stage as they fell just short of reaching the NAIA World Series in Lewiston, Idaho.

Prior to McPherson College, Moses served as an assistant coach at Brown University, where he filled several roles, including coaching the catchers, hitters and aiding in the program's recruiting efforts.

His extensive resume also includes a stint at Cal State Northridge, where he served as an assistant coach and assistant recruiting coordinator. Before CSUN, Moses spent three seasons (2013-15) as the head coach at University of Antelope Valley. After leading UAV to a 20-5 mark in 2012, he guided the Pioneers to a record of 82-56 in the next three seasons. He also served as a health instructor and department head at the NAIA University.

Moses previously served as an assistant coach at Simpson University (Calif.) and spent parts of two seasons as a coach with the Redding Colt 45s summer collegiate baseball team. Before moving to the collegiate ranks, Moses was the head baseball coach at Skyline High School in Idaho.

The experienced coach is enthusiastic and eager to get to work. "It's an honor to lead a program with extraordinary potential for years to come. I plan on developing a new culture and a competitive product here at AVC," said Moses. "There is a substantial amount of work to be done which will be part of the long journey to success, but the time is now to develop plans to put Marauders Baseball on the map here in Southern California. We will lay one brick at a time."

Bryan, a California native, graduated from Sonoma State University in 2007 with a Bachelor's degree in Communications. He earned a Master's degree in 2011 from Western Kentucky and just completed his doctoral work in Sports Management from Concordia Chicago. He and his wife Breanna have one son, Colt.
