SLeading the baseball program at San Jacinto College means more than performing a job for Tom Arrington. The way he sees it, he has an obligation to both the College and his players to help them continue their development and extend their playing career. So far, so good for Arrington, who took over the San Jac program as head coach prior to the 2001 season. Since then, the College has made 11 trips to the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) JUCO World Series, including six appearances in the national title game, culminating as the national runner-up in 2003, 2004, 2010, 2012, 2016, and 2017. His 40 wins at the JUCO World Series is an all-time record, as is his 64 total games at the prestigious national tournament. Arrington can also add “Hall of Fame” to his signature, as the veteran coach entered the NJCAA Baseball Hall of Fame in 2018.

Last season, Arrington led the Gators to a 21-6 season; 11-0 in the conference before the College and NJCAA made the announcement to cancel the season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In 2019, Arrington guided the Gators to a 42-12 season record. Though the Gators dominated their conference opponents, they were unable to continue to post season due to NJCAA sanctions. The Gators did however have a great season, which was highlighted by the Major League Baseball draft of Jackson Rutledge in the first round by the Washington Nationals.

In 2018, Arrington again guided the Gators to the JUCO World Series, where the team advanced to the semifinals and finished 3-2 at the national tournament. In a season in which seven players were selected in the MLB draft, San Jac went 53-14 under Arrington’s guidance. He was again named Region XIV Coach of the Year, and 13 players earned Region XIV South All-conference honors.

In 2017, Arrington once again led his team to Grand Junction, Colo., and wound up as the national runner-up. His squad finished the season 48-18 overall and was the Region XIV tournament champion. Five players – Sergio Macias, Michael Smith, Ryan Johnson, Donny Diaz, and MacGregor Hines – earned JUCO World Series all-tournament honors, and six players were drafted in the MLB first-year player draft.

The 2016 season saw Arrington’s squad make another run for a national title, falling short to Yavapai College in the final game of the 2016 JUCO World Series. Three San Jac players were named to the JUCO World Series All-Tournament Team – catcher Baine Schoenvogel, pitcher Devin Smeltzer, and designated hitter Ryan January; and seven players were selected in the MLB first-year player draft. San Jac finished the season as the Region XIV South Zone champion, the undefeated Region XIV champions, and national runner-up, with an overall record of 52-12 and 31-9 in conference play. Arrington, in his 15th year as head coach, was named the Region XIV Coach of the Year for the 11th time. In 2015, San Jac recorded a 43-21 overall record, returning to the JUCO World Series for the 23rd time in school history. Riley Smith was selected in the 31st round of the MLB first-year player draft, eight players earned post-season honors, 10 players were selected to participate in the Texas / New Mexico All-Star game, and a record 16 student-athletes signed national letters of intent to continue their education and baseball careers at four-year universities.

The year 2014 produced a 30-win season for San Jac as the team went 32-28 overall and 20-20 in conference play. Five players earned

postseason awards, led by Josh Palacios and Matt Eureste, who were named to the all-Region XIV team. In addition, Toller Boardman, Austin Homan, and Josh Croft earned a spot on the all-conference team. In June, six players were selected in the 2014 MLB first-year player draft.

In 2013, San Jacinto College again won the Region XIV South Conference Championship after a 35-21 (22-8) regular season. Four players earned all-conference honors, and Arrington was named the Region XIV Coach of the Year.

Arrington’s 2012 season was another 40-win season for San Jacinto College, as it went 41-27 on the way to a national runner-up, the second in three years. Arrington earned his 500th career win in a 3-0 win over Blinn College on Feb. 18. Starting pitcher A.J. Glasshof hurled a complete game no-hitter, the first nine inning no-hitter in the College’s history. Six players were named to the all-conference team, and for a fourth consecutive year, Arrington was named the South Zone Coach of the Year. The team shut out the defending JUCO champions Navarro College 1-0 in the final game of the regional tournament to earn a record 22nd trip to the national tournament.

The 2011 season ended earlier than Arrington would have liked, but the success of his team and players can’t be overlooked. It was another 40-win season (40-16) for San Jac, six players were drafted in the MLB first-year player draft, and the pitching duo of Tyler Wright and Miguel Pena went 20-4 overall, earning All-America honors.

The 2010 season was one of the most successful under Arrington. He guided San Jac to an unprecedented 21st trip to the NJCAA World Series, finishing as the national runner-up. Four players were named to the all-tournament team in Grand Junction, three earned postseason honors, and nine were selected in the MLB first-year player draft. San Jac’s appearance in the national championship game was the 12th in program history, and the national runner-up finish was the seventh. San Jac finished the season with a 52-12 overall record.

The year 2009 was a successful season, despite not having a home field to play on due to construction at J.R. Harrison Field. Nine baseball student-athletes were named to the all-conference team, and Arrington was tabbed as the conference coach of the year. Deric Hawkins and Tommy Collier earned NJCAA All-American honors in leading San Jac to a 45-11 record, the conference title, and a tie for fourth at the World Series.

In 2008, Arrington led San Jac to a 44-14 record and saw two of his players drafted in the majors. San Jac advanced to the semifinals of the Region XIV tournament, just shy of a return trip to the JUCO World Series.

In 2007, Arrington guided San Jac to a 46-16 record, complete with another conference crown, Region XIV tournament title, and a third-place finish at the World Series. Along the way, Arrington surpassed the 300-win mark as head coach at San Jacinto College. In his first six years as head coach (2001-2006), Arrington was 264-102.

Chris Rupp took San Jac to four consecutive World Series (1997, 1998, 1999, 2000), with appearances in the national championship game in 1998 and 1999. His predecessor, Wayne Graham, led San Jac to five national titles from 1985 to 1990 and won 586 games over 11 seasons. Graham went on to coach at Rice University.

While the national title has proven elusive to San Jac under Arrington’s tutelage, Arrington and his staff have helped more than 150 players find

Shomes at collegiate institutions and over 70 at the professional level. For him, it’s all part of his obligation as the team’s leader. “It’s extremely gratifying to have quality athletes come in here and help us be what we believe is the premier junior college program in the country,” Arrington said. “They are getting a quality education, and at the same time they are continuing to develop and showcase their skills to a point where they either move on to the Division I level on scholarship or sign professional contracts for large signing bonuses. I think we accomplish those three goals, including the education, as well as anyone else in the nation.”

Arrington is confident the day will come when the national trophy again comes home to Houston. It will take skill, desire, and some luck, but Arrington is committed to ensuring that current and future San Jac players are in a great position to succeed.

“We have that desire to sustain our performance on the field, and with that hopefully comes a dominance of the region,” Arrington said. “With nine trips (to the national tournament) in 15 years, I think we’re doing that. That highly coveted first national championship for this group of coaches and the players is still in our sights. When it’s our year, it will be our year. I also believe that when we win one, we may win several after that. Our time is coming.”

With Arrington’s intense focus on the prize, there’s no reason to doubt his confidence. As a player, he was intent on becoming the best he could be.

Arrington began his coaching career in 1991 at the College of Mateo. Later came stops at San Francisco State University and College of Marin. In 2000, Arrington arrived in Houston as San Jac’s assistant coach, where he focused on the pitchers. He was named head coach nearly two seasons later and athletic director for the San Jacinto College North Campus in 2011.

“We look at our program as one of the best in the country,” Arrington said. “We also have an obligation to make sure these young men get the best education possible. That’s simply a personal belief of mine. We have to prepare these guys for lifelong success, not just baseball success. They have to be able to deal with success or failure on and off the field. We live in a demanding society, so we make sure our players are well prepared.”

The Mill Valley, Calif., native began his playing career at College of Marin, where he was an all-conference selection. He then played two years at Texas A&M University, where he earned two letters, was all-conference, and was named the Southwest Conference tournament MVP. He also earned the C.E. “Pat” Olsen MVP award. Arrington holds a master’s degree from San Francisco State University.

Arrington played professionally for the Triple A team of the Texas Rangers; in Guadalajara, Mexico; for the Salt Lake Trappers; and the Single A farm team of the Montreal Expos.

Coach Arrington and his wife, Marya, have two children, Alden and Anya Lily.

KORY KOEHLERVOLUNTEER ASSISTANT COACH

22nd Season University of Houston (2006)

A former catcher at San Jacinto College (1999-2000), Kory Koehler is now entering his 22nd season with the team. As a player, Koehler was fortunate to play in two JUCO World Series, and during his time as a volunteer assistant coach, the team has made 12 trips to Grand Junction. Koehler appreciates the success he’s been part of as a coach. Winning at a consistent level involves having talented players and crafted coaches, but Koehler has seen San Jac go the extra step.

“For me, each year is a new start,” he said. “I’ve been very fortunate in my time here at San Jac. This is my alma mater, and it means the world to me to continue to be a part of such a wonderful program. I look forward to another fantastic run this year, and I believe this year’s team has as good a chance as any in years past to bring that elusive sixth national championship back to San Jac. Unfortunately, I have been on the losing end of six championship games, but I wouldn’t trade those experiences for the world. I would love to see our young men get to experience that moment after winning the final game of the season in Grand Junction, Colorado. Experiencing that moment is something we work so very hard for and we look forward to each and every year, and I hope one day to experience that with Head Coach Tom Arrington, fellow coaches and staff, and most importantly our student-athletes.”

Originally from North Bay, New York, Koehler graduated from the University of Houston in 2006 with a Bachelor of Science and in 2008 with a Master of Education in physical education. In the summer of 2015, he led the Houston Collegiate League Gators to a league championship.

Koehler was elected as the 2019 American Baseball Coaches Association National assistant coach of the year and was the first ever to win this award in junior college baseball.

“Kory is an outstanding coach and an even better person who has a deep-seated passion for the development of players and for the success of the San Jac baseball program,” said Head Coach Tom Arrington. “He possesses a tireless commitment toward San Jac baseball and the pursuit of a national championship. Over the last 17 years of our friendship and work together at San Jac, Kory has continued to take on additional responsibilities in his development. While he is in charge of recruiting, hitting, and offensive planning and development of the team, he has also done a tremendous job in our community outreach.”

Koehler will manage the Charlottesville Tom Sox in the prestigious Valley League in summer 2021 in Virginia. “I look forward to the challenge of coaching and leading one of the top-ranked summer collegiate teams in America,” he said. “But first we have goals to achieve here at San Jac.”

In addition to his duties with the San Jacinto College baseball team, Koehler is a physical education professor on the San Jacinto College North Campus. He and his wife, Erika, were married in November 2006. The couple has two sons, Keaton Jax and Kason Jett.

ERIC WEAVERASSISTANT COACH

7th Season Texas State University (2008)

Eric Weaver joined the San Jacinto College baseball coaching staff in fall 2014 and hit the ground running. Among his duties at San Jac are pitching and infield coaching and assisting with player recruitment. He also serves as the baseball facility coordinator. Weaver was a standout college pitcher and successful college coach, bringing with him talents and strengths that help the San Jac baseball team.

“Since Eric joined the program, we have made three consecutive trips to the JUCO World Series,” said Head Coach Tom Arrington. “Eric works closely with Kory Koehler in the recruitment of prospective players within the state and region. He has a strong contact base of local high school coaches, professional scouts, and player agents to draw upon in the search process. Weaver will also work closely with myself and Volunteer Assistant Coach Woody Williams in the development and planning of the pitching staff.”

In addition to coaching the team on the field, Weaver is also the academic coordinator of student-athletes at the North Campus. In this role he assesses each student-athlete’s course load, assists in preparing class schedules, develops transfer plans, and coordinates a smooth and clean transition to National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) institutions.

Weaver graduated from Deer Park High School in 2003, where he was a two-sport standout, earning all-district honors in baseball and football. He went on to be a starting pitcher at Alvin Community College and was voted to the Texas / New Mexico JUCO All-Star game after his freshman year. He was the team’s MVP in 2006, earning all-conference recognition.

Weaver continued his academics and baseball at Texas State University, where he was ranked the fifth most effective pitcher in the Southland Conference in 2007, posting a 6-1 record in 30 appearances. That season, Weaver had five saves with a 2.23 ERA, allowing 33 hits and seven walks, with 33 strikeouts and a .212 opponents’ batting average. He saw limited action in his senior year due to a shoulder injury.

Weaver returned to Alvin Community College to serve as its infield coach and recruiting coordinator from 2011-2014. During that time, the Alvin baseball team won the South Zone Championship in 2014 and was ranked third in the nation in the Perfect Game poll, the highest national ranking in the college’s history. In 2014, Weaver served as an assistant coach in the Karl Young Collegiate League, a Houston-area summer league. He went on to serve as head coach in 2015 and 2016.

He holds a bachelor’s degree in applied arts and science from Texas State University. Weaver and his wife, Kassi, were married in 2012. The couple have two sons, Easton and Nash. The family resides in Deer Park.

WOODY WILLIAMSVOLUNTEER ASSISTANT COACH 6th Season University of Phoenix (2020) Alvin Community College (1986)

Woody Williams may be in his sixth season as a volunteer assistant coach with the San Jacinto College baseball program, but he is no stranger to the game of baseball at any level. Williams played at Wharton County Junior College, Alvin Community College, and the University of Houston before a professional career that spanned 20 seasons with the Toronto Blue Jays, San Diego Padres, St. Louis Cardinals, and Houston Astros. His experience and wealth of knowledge are an asset to the San Jac baseball program.

Prior to joining San Jac in fall 2015, Williams coached three years at Fort Bend Christian Academy and spent two seasons with the Houston Heat.

“I am very excited to be here and be a part of this team,” Williams said. “I enjoy being around the players and helping them to grow as young men and baseball players. My coaching philosophy has always been to play the game in the right way with respect and integrity, and I hope I can show these players how to do that.”

Williams made his major league debut on May 14, 1993, for the Blue Jays. He began his pitching career in the majors as a reliever but was moved to a full-time starter in 1997. His career blossomed after he was traded to St. Louis in August 2001, where he went 7-1 with a 2.28 ERA in 11 starts for the Cardinals. He went on to be named to the 2003 All-Star team and pitched in the playoffs. The right-hander says his most memorable moment playing baseball was pitching in the playoffs in 2001. “There’s no way to describe the feeling of playing in the playoffs,” he said. However, he says coaching is more satisfying than playing because of the opportunity to see kids grow into young men. His message to those kids wanting to play collegiately and professionally is “You have to be coachable, willing to learn, and do whatever it takes to become the best in your craft.”

“I am honored and blessed to have Woody coaching alongside me,” said Head Coach Tom Arrington. “We have known each other for years, but working together has been extremely rewarding to me, not only from a coaching perspective but from personal one as well. Woody is extremely knowledgeable of the game, as is evidenced in his playing experience, but more importantly he has a way of delivering this knowledge to the players in a way they can understand and utilize in their development. Though Woody’s primary responsibility is working with the development of the pitchers, his input in all areas of the team is welcomed.”

Williams and his wife, Kim, reside in Houston. The couple has five children – Katelyn, Sarah, Hannah, Lily, and Caden.

JAMES KIRKVOLUNTEER ASSISTANT COACH

4th Season Police Academy (1980)

James Kirk is in his fourth season with the San Jacinto College baseball coaching staff. Before joining the San Jac program, he spent his last season as a volunteer assistant coach at Navarro College in Corsicana, Texas. There he coached the infielders and outfielders. In 2017, Navarro College was the runner-up in conference, advanced to the Regional tournament, and advanced to the championship game, where the Bulldogs finished runner-up to San Jac. Kirk works with the infielders and outfielders, developing players on defensive approach.

“Coach Kirk brings a wealth of knowledge to the program,” said Head Coach Tom Arrington. “He has coached several MLB players in his time at St. Pius, and his son Kyle was a tremendous player at both Navarro College and later at Arkansas Little Rock. Also, Coach Kirk served as a police officer for over 20 years. His passion for young men doing the right thing all the time will help groom our players into great citizens moving forward.”

Kirk has held coaching positions at St. Pius X High School, where he was in charge of the infielders and outfielders. During his time at St. Pius X, the team won two state championships and three district championships. He has coached and developed numerous players who have played JUCO and Division I, II, and III baseball.

Kirk will join Koehler as his bench coach in Charlottesville, Virginia, this summer with the Tom Sox.

“Coach Kirk has a passion for this game that is unwavering. I very much look forward to having him on my staff in Virginia this summer and love his energy day to day,” Koehler said.

Kirk and his wife, Wanda, have two children, Jessica and Kyle.
