Idaho, `78

Pat Bailey is in his fifth season as an assistant coach with the Oregon State baseball team. In 2011, he helped guide the Beavers to their third consecutive postseason appearance and the sixth in seven years.

In 2011, the club's outfielders included Ryan Barnes, who, after not playing a significant role in 2010, started 44 games and drove in 25 runs, as well as Brian Stamps, an MLB draftee who tallied 11 doubles and seven stolen bases.

Bailey's center fielder in 2010, Adalberto Santos, was the team's most dangerous player last season, leading the team in triples and was among the team's leaders in batting average and home runs. Santos was later selected in the 22nd round of the MLB Draft by Pittsburgh and was named one of the New York-Penn League's top prospects.

In 2009, his second year with OSU, the team's hitting and outfield coach inherited a host of position players who were new to the program or who had seen little playing time in previous seasons. Bailey helped mold players such as Adalberto Santos, Stefen Romero and Michael Miller into everyday contributors who played key roles in the team's lineup. Santos was named to the All-Pac-10 Honorable Mention team in the process while Romero led OSU with five home runs.

Bailey came to Oregon State prior to the 2008 season. In his first year, he oversaw Daniel Robertson's senior season, guiding the outfielder to All-Conference honorable mention honors. Robertson hit .327 and was drafted in the 33rd round of the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft by San Diego; he was named the Most Valuable Player of the Northwest League in his first professional season.

Bailey spent 12 seasons at George Fox, winning a Division III national title with the Bruins in 2004.

Bailey, 53, compiled a 353-158 record and earned National Coach of the Year honors after that 2004 national title. He was an eight-time Northwest Conference Coach of the Year honoree.

During Bailey's tenure, the Bruins won or shared eight Northwest Conference titles. George Fox advanced to the NCAA tournament six times and to the NAIA playoffs twice before moving to the NCAA.

George Fox did not have a losing season during Bailey's time at the school, and he is the winningest baseball coach in the school's history. The Northwest Conference shifted from the NAIA to the NCAA in 2000, and since then the Bruins rank among the nation's top 20 schools at that level in wins with a 215-94 record.

In 2004, Bailey's team became the first George Fox squad in any sport to win an NCAA national championship. The Bruins went 40-10 overall, setting a new single-season record for wins and tying the record for best winning percentage at .800.

After tying for the 2004 NWC title, George Fox earned an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament. The Bruins swept through four games at the NCAA West Regional in Orange, Calif., and then posted a 5-1 record at the Division III World Series in Appleton, Wis., beating Eastern Connecticut State 6-3 in the championship game. All nine of George Fox's postseason wins came against nationally ranked teams, and four of its five wins in the World Series were against pitchers who were first- or second-team All-Americans.

Seven of Bailey's George Fox players signed professional contracts, including five members of the national championship team. His players earned 10 All-America honors and four Academic All-America honors.

At George Fox, he was also associate director of athletics, director of the Bruin Athletic Association for athletic support, chair of the school's Sports Hall of Fame committee, and a teacher in the Department of Business and Economics.

Bailey earned his business education degree from the University of Idaho in 1978 and his master of education degree in educational administration from Oregon in 1983. Bailey earned two letters in baseball at Idaho and was the team captain.

Bailey graduated in 1974 from Moscow (Idaho) High School, where he played football, basketball and baseball, being named the baseball team's Most Valuable Player.

Bailey and his wife, Susan, have two children: son Alex, who played baseball for George Fox in 2003; and daughter Ann. His daughter, Ann, is married to Collin Schneider and they have one child, Adlai, 1.
