Queens University of Charlotte head baseball coach
Jake Hendrick welcomed Cameron Coons to the staff as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator in the summer of 2023. Coons comes to the Queen City following a two-year stint as an assistant at Marshall University.
With the Herd, Coons oversaw and facilitated skill development which featured the coaching and implementation of biomechanical and analytical information for player development. Under his direction in 2021, Coons developed First Team All-Conference USA recipient Luke Edward as well as Ryan Leitch, a Johnny Bench Watch List recipient and current catcher in the Philadelphia Phillies organizations.
Prior to serving at Marshall, Coons was an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Snead State Community College in Alabama. Coons assembled a recruiting class in 2022 that produced a school record for wins, as well as its first Alabama state title and advancement to the JUCO World Series. The year prior, Coons led the Parsons to the ACCC North Regular Season title which resulted in two players being named First Team All-Region. That success led Coons to be named the 2021 Assistant Coach of the Year for the state of Alabama.
Over the previous summers, Coons has spent time in various collegiate leagues as an assistant coach. Most recently, Coons was an assistant with the Amsterdam Mohawks where he led the squad to the Championship Series of the PGCBL. The Mohawks led the league in hits, runs, slugging percentage, RBI's, and total bases. Coons coached and developed Matt Shaw, the 13
th overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft by the Chicago Cubs.
After breaking into the summer coaching ranks in 2017, Coons has served as an assistant for the Syracuse Spartans, the Ripken Experience, Perfect Game, and Alabama Coaches Association.
