Jordon Twohig joined the Saint Mary's baseball coaching staff as Associate Head Coach in July of 2019 and enters his third season in 2022. Twohig brings 15 years of collegiate coaching experience, serving on eight different staffs and with six different collegiate teams including a stint with Saint Mary's from 2004 to 2006.
Â
Twohig's most recent stay was for six years at Cal State Northridge as the Associate Head Coach while acting as the Recruiting Coordinator and hitting and outfielders' coach. Twohig consistently led his players to the top of the conference multiple offensive categories including: homeruns, doubles, triples, runs batted in, hits, walks, and slugging percentage. Furthermore, he was instrumental in team's highest conference finishes in 17 years. He also led the efforts in assembling both a top-30 and a top-40 recruiting class with the Matadors and helped fundraise $2.5 million towards a new stadium. Twohig also spent extensive time aiding the community in the San Fernando Valley and the Los Angeles and Ventura County areas.
Â
"Coach Twohig always seems to be where the players need him," head coach Greg Moore said about Twohig. "His ability to mentor time-management and personal skills comes from his willingness to be available to the players, and is as impressive as his ability to coach the game."
Â
Before his time with the Matadors, he spent the 2010-2013 seasons on the staff of University of Washington. With the Huskies, he helped the program's recruiting and academic efforts. In 2011, he once again brought in a top-30 recruiting class which included seven players who were selected in the 2014 MLB Draft.

In his final season with the Renegades, he led his team to a state championship which was the first state title in any sport in the school's history. The previous season, after the team's first league title in 18 years, he was named the Coast Conference Coach of the Year.
