Aaron Gentry, a two-time winner of the American Southwest Conference Coaching Staff of the Year award at LeTourneau University, was named the new Head Baseball Coach at the University of the Ozarks, it was announced by Athletic Director Jimmy Clark Tuesday.
Gentry has served as the assistant coach at LeTourneau University the past eight years and helped guide the program to its three most successful seasons in program history. During that three-year run, LeTourneau qualified for the ASC playoffs back-to-back seasons, and won one ASC title. In 2014, the YellowJackets had a banner year, earning a berth in the NCAA III Regionals as well as winning an ASC Tournament championship. The 2014 team also won a program-best 33 games behind one of the ASC's most potent offenses and efficient pitching staffs. In 2015, LeTourneau again qualified for the playoffs and eight players earned All-Conference recognition. In 2013, LeTourneau posted its first winning season since 1999 and improved its win total by seven from the previous season. Over the past three seasons, the program went 73-48.
Gentry signed with the University of Arkansas after an impressive high school career at Claremore. After being drafted in the 12th round in 1997, Gentry played in the St. Louis Cardinals organization from 1997-2000. He was drafted three times by three different major league baseball teams.
