Oregon baseball coach Mark Wasikowski has seen it all on a baseball diamond- the highs and lows. And if you ask him, his ability to accept those moments come from the tough love and discipline he got from his parents. Those core lessons learned in his life helped him overcome adversity in his early college days and eventually led to winning a national championship at Pepperdine, where he was a throwback player for the Waves that was tough, disciplined and showed no fear. After initially wanting to work on Wall Street, Wasikowski instead chose to coach and after a winding coaching journey, which included being an assistant coach with Oregon, he was named the head coach of the Ducks in 2019. Wasikowski has his Ducks playing with his throwback mentality and the team is excelling, and he knows that there are expectations across the board for the Oregon athletic department. He wants to live up to his end of the bargain.
