In sports, a winning record seems to be the decisive measure of a successful coach and the program. Others measure success in the ways people around them are impacted. In the case of Jake Boss, both are true!

He was appointed the 16th head coach in Michigan State baseball history on July 1, 2008, and has quickly become one of the most successful coaches in the program’s 132-year history. In 12 seasons at MSU, Boss has compiled a 342-275 (.554) record. His 342 wins are the most over a 12-year span in program history. Five of the 10 winningest seasons in MSU history have come under Boss’s direction. He has guided the Spartans to 30-win seasons in seven of the last 11 years, as well as the Big Ten regular-season championship in 2011 and the NCAA Tournament in 2012.
During Boss’s tenure at Michigan State, MSU has had 34 selections in the Major League Baseball Draft, including three or more in six of the last 10 years.
