Mitch Hannahs
Head Coach Read more Read less

Mitch Hannahs was named the eighth head coach in South Florida Baseball history on June 8, 2024 after a stellar playing and coaching career at Indiana State University. Hannahs compiled over 350 wins in 11 seasons at Indiana State and guided the Sycamores to four of the last five NCAA Tournaments and the 2023 NCAA Super Regional

A two-time Missouri Valley Coach of the Year selection (2023 & 2024), Hannahs comes to USF after 11 highly successful seasons as head coach at his alma mater Indiana State (2014-24), where he led the Sycamores to national Top 25 rankings, five NCAA Tournament appearances, the 2023 NCAA Super Regional, and a record of 355-214-1 (.623). He led the Sycamores to MVC domination – becoming the first program since Wichita State in 2007 to post 20-plus conference wins in back-to-back seasons – and national prominence – seeing ISU appear in all five national baseball polls for six straight weeks heading into the 2024 NCAA Tournament, including as high as No. 14 in the Perfect Game poll.

A former MLB Draft pick, NCAA All-American, and College World Series participant as a player, Hannahs has 20 years of collegiate head coaching experience, including nine seasons at Lincoln Trail College (2002-10) where he also served as president for part of his tenure. He has a career record of 626-403-1 that includes 10 30-win seasons, six conference titles and 14 ISU players that were selected in the MLB Draft.

Hannahs’ 2024 ISU team won the MVC regular season title for the second-straight year (a first in program history), was ranked No. 10 in the NCAA Ratings Percentage Index (RPI), won all nine MVC weekend series (continuing a streak of 19 straight MVC series wins dating to 2022), and reached the NCAA Lexington Regional final before falling to No. 2 overall seed Kentucky. The Sycamores finished 44-15 (22-5 MVC), posting their second straight 40-win season and third under Hannahs.

ISU saw 10 players voted to the MVC All-Conference team with four additional members named to the All-Defensive squad. The Sycamores wrapped up the regular season leading the MVC in conference play in nearly every major team statistical category including batting average (.314), hits (296), slugging (.588), on-base percentage (.419), fielding percentage (.986), ERA (3.77), strikeouts (288), and opponent batting average (.224). Additionally, Indiana State finished second in runs scored (220), second in home runs (66), and second in RBIs (209).

Indiana State’s Brennyn Cutts became the third ISU player to win the MVC Pitcher of the Year Award in the last four seasons, while catcher Grant Magill was voted the conference’s Defensive Player of the Year for the second consecutive season, as the reigning ABCA/Rawlings Gold Glove winner became just the second player in Valley history to win the award multiple times.

Hannahs also led ISU to NCAA Tournament appearances in 2014, 2019, 2021, and 2023, winning just the program’s second NCAA regional and first since 1986 in 2023 to advance the Sycamores to the program’s first NCAA Super Regional vs. TCU in Fort Worth, Texas. The Sycamores won both the MVC regular season title (going 24-3) and the MVC Tournament in 2023. ISU also captured an MVC Tournament title in 2019, the first for ISU in 20 years.

Hannahs was a four-year letter winner at Indiana State (1986-89), finishing with a .376 batting average, 274 hits, 34 doubles, 23 triples, 11 home runs, 220 runs scored, 138 runs batted in, and 77 stolen bases. Selected an American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) and Baseball America All-American in 1989, Hannahs led the team with a .428 batting average, 101 hits, and 76 runs scored in his senior season while the Sycamores claimed the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament championship.

Indiana State posted 172 victories during Hannahs’ playing career and made trips to the NCAA Tournament in 1986, 1987, and 1989, including reaching the 1986 College World Series – the lone trip to the CWS in program history.

Hannahs was selected by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 16th round of the 1989 Major League Baseball Draft. He went on to play three seasons in the minor leagues from 1989 to 1991 where he compiled a .306 batting average with 132 hits in 127 career games played.

He returned to Terre Haute in 1995 to serve as an assistant coach for legendary ISU coach Bob Warn. He worked as the hitting and infield coach from 1995 to 1999 and was the Sycamores’ coach for pitchers and catchers from 1999 to 2001.

Hannahs went on to become the head coach at Lincoln Trail College in Robinson, Ill., for nine seasons where he led the Statesmen to Region 24 titles in 2005 and 2007, Great Rivers Athletic Conference championships in 2006 and 2007, and a 270-189 record.

Hannahs was inducted into the Ohio Valley Athletic Conference Hall of Fame in recognition of his accomplishments at Skyvue High School (Graysville, Ohio) where he played basketball and baseball.

He graduated from Indiana State in 1989 with a bachelor’s degree in business and marketing and later earned a master’s degree in athletics administration.

Hannahs and his wife, Amy, have three children: Derek, Kylee and Kaleb.

The Cowboys posted a combined for of 83-39 record with Kangas on staff, won the 2024 Big 12 Tournament championship, the 2023 regular season title and hosted back-to-back NCAA Regionals in Stillwater.

At Oklahoma State, Kangas worked with the trio of Carson Benge, Brian Holiday and Nolan Schubart, who were each named All-Americans by Baseball America, Perfect Game/Rawlings and the NCBWA. Benge was also one of five finalists for the John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Award and a semifinalist for the Dick Howser Trophy. Benge was selected in the first round (19th overall) of the 2024 MLB Draft by the New York Mets and Holiday in the third round by the St. Louis Cardinals.

Kangas has a wealth of experience across the Division I, JUCO and NAIA levels.

He previously spent four years as a volunteer assistant coach at Kansas State, has worked as a Major League Baseball associate scout, served as an assistant at his alma mater, Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and Feather River College, and in 2009, was an assistant coach for the Cape Cod League champion Bourne Braves.

While at Keiser, Kangas coached six All-Americans on teams that set numerous school records and advanced to the 2021 NAIA World Series. At Kansas State, he was part of the coaching staff for the Wildcats’ 2013 Big 12 championship and NCAA Super Regional team, and he helped mentor three All-Americans and eight position players selected in the Major League Baseball Draft.

Kangas played collegiately at Madison College and Wisconsin-Milwaukee, where he graduated in 2007 before beginning his coaching career there.

Following his tenure at UWM, Kangas spent four years at Feather River College in Quincy, California.

Daniel Schlereth, a former first-round pick and Major League pitcher, was named pitching coach in June 2024.

Schlereth joined the Bulls after two seasons as the pitching coach at Western Michigan University following his 13-year career in professional baseball.

The Western Michigan Broncos won the 2024 MAC tournament championship and advanced to the NCAA Regional. WMU posted a 32-22 record in 2024 for the program’s most wins since 1993. Schlereth’s pitching staff tossed a pair of shutouts during the MAC tournament, posted a 1.00 ERA (3 ER/27.0 IP) and recorded 30 strikeouts while issuing just three walks.

The Broncos tossed seven shutouts during the 2024 season (t-2nd in NCAA) en route to breaking the all-time WMU strikeout record for a single season (444). Western Michigan ranked 40th in the NCAA in walks allowed per nine innings (3.88) and 66th in strikeout-to-walk ratio (2.14). The Broncos lead the MAC in walks allowed (99) and fewest hits allowed (254).

Right-handed pitcher Nolan Vlcek was named Second Team All-Conference in 2024. Schlereth also coached Brady Miller to All-Conference honors in 2023.

Western Michigan’s team ERA dropped by over three full runs in Schlereth’s two seasons and the Broncos posted a MAC-leading 4.85 ERA in 2024 during conference play.

Before beginning his coaching career, Schlereth spent a season working in the player development and pro scouting department for the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Schlereth was selected in the first round (26th overall) of the 2008 MLB Draft by the Arizona Diamondbacks after a standout collegiate career at the University of Arizona. Schlereth reached the Majors quickly, making his debut for the Diamondbacks in May of 2009. The southpaw made 21 appearances for Arizona in 2009 before he was traded, along with Max Scherzer, to the Detroit Tigers in the offseason.

In three seasons with Detroit, Schlereth made a total of 73 appearances and posted a 3.98 ERA in 74.2 innings. During his time, the Tigers won back-to-back AL Central Division titles in 2011 and 2012. Schlereth helped the Tigers reach the 2011 ALCS and the 2012 World Series.

Over 13 professional seasons on the mound, Schlereth played for 10 different Major League organizations, including three stints with the Tigers. In four seasons at the Major League level with Detroit and Arizona, the lefty pitched in a total of 94 games and posted a 4.35 ERA with 91 strikeouts in 93.0 innings. In the Minor Leagues, Schlereth pitched in 214 games and owned a 2.80 ERA with 262 strikeouts over 234.1 innings.

Schlereth first attended UNLV before transferring to Arizona. He was a two-time All Pac-10 recipient in his three seasons and named a 2008 All-American.

Schlereth and his wife, Bree, have three children, Quinn, Drew and Zane. His father, Mark, played in the NFL for 12 seasons, won three Super Bowls and was named to the Pro Bowl twice.

Bryan Peters
Assistant Coach Read more Read less

Bryan Peters, a former South Florida player and coach, rejoined the staff for Coach Hannahs’ first season in Tampa in July 2024. He previously served as the interim head coach at Long Beach State University in 2024.

Peters played at South Florida from 1995-96 for Eddie Cardieri, helping lead the Bulls to both the regular season and tournament Metro championships in 1995 and the 1996 C-USA regular season title, advancing to the NCAA Tournament both seasons. He then began his coaching career at USF in 1997, spending time as an assistant coaching and recruiting coordinator, a nine-year stint on staff that saw the Bulls reach the NCAA Tournament three times.

He brings with him nearly 30 years of coaching experience in his return to the dugout at South Florida.

Peters first joined the staff at Long Beach State for the 2020 season where he worked with the offense and hitters before being promoted to interim head coach of the Dirtbags prior to the 2024 campaign.

In his four seasons as an assistant coach at Long Beach State, Peters worked with one All-American and eight All-Big West recipients. In 2023, the Dirtbags had one of their most prolific offensive seasons in recent history, including 62 home runs which rank second all-time in program single-season history.

Prior to Long Beach State, Peters spent the 2019 season as an assistant at Saint Mary’s after a two-year stint as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Nova Southeastern in Fort Lauderdale. In 2017, Nova Southeastern led all Division II teams with 97 home runs. The following season, the Sharks led the Sunshine State Conference in batting average (.318), slugging (.509), scoring (8.6 runs/game), stolen bases (86) and home runs per game (1.43).

Peters also spent time on staff at Pittsburgh, High Point, UCF and Stetson.

In 2016, Peters’ third and final season in Pittsburgh, five Panthers were selected in the MLB Draft, including first-rounder T.J. Zeuch. Peters also worked with first-round pick Jason Dellaero during his first stint at USF.

After two seasons as an assistant at High Point, Peters was promoted to associate head coach for the remainder of his tenure. His 2010 team set program records in batting average, runs, hits, RBI, doubles, home runs, walks and stolen bases while posting their first winning record in a decade.

Peters also helped orchestrate an offensive resurgence in his two seasons at UCF while bringing in the No. 7 ranked recruiting class in 2008. At Stetson, he saw the Hatters win the 2006 ASUN tournament title and reach the NCAA Tournament.

A native of Lancaster, California, Peters was an All-Conference recipient at Antelope Valley (Calif.) Community College before transferring to USF where he earned his bachelor’s degree in speech communication in 1997.

Chris Cates rejoined the USF coaching staff on July 2023. He was previously on staff at South Florida from 2015-19.

Cates arrived back in Tampa after spending the previous three seasons (2021-23) as an assistant coach at UCF. He also had two stints on the coaching staff at the University of Tampa and spent a season as an assistant at Florida State. Cates was drafted in the 38th round of the 2007 MLB Draft by Minnesota out of the University of Louisville and spent five seasons in the Twins’ organization.

Cates primarily worked with the infielders, assisted hitters and coached third base while at UCF.

He rejoined the Tampa Spartans in 2020 after previously coaching at UT during the 2014 campaign.

The Bulls made three NCAA Regional appearances (2015, 2017, 2018) during Cates’ previous tenure at USF. Among the players Cates worked with were Kevin Merrell (1st round pick by Oakland in 2017), David Villar (11th round pick by San Francisco in 2018), Coco Montes (15th round pick by Colorado in 2018) and Joe Genord (9th round pick by the New York Yankees in 2019).

Prior to USF, Cates was an assistant at Florida State University for the 2013 season. His primary responsibilities at FSU were in the development of the outfielders. Cates helped guide DJ Stewart, a 2015 first-round pick of the Baltimore Orioles, as well as other MLB draft picks Josh Delph (Angels) and Marcus Davis (Padres). In addition, Cates also worked in the outfield with former Heisman Trophy winner and current NFL QB Jameis Winston.

Selected in the 38th round of the 2007 MLB First Year Player Draft by Minnesota, Cates played for five seasons in the Twins’ minor league organization. He was named a two-time All-Star in the minors, earning his first nod in 2008 with the Beloit Snappers out of the Class A Midwest League. A year later, Cates made his second All-Star team, this time in his first season at the Class A-Advanced level of the Florida State League with the Fort Myers Miracle. In 2009, Cates earned the Twins’ organizational Defensive Player of the Year. Cates turned his second All-Star appearance into a promotion to the Double-A Eastern League, where he spent two seasons playing with the New Britain Rock Cats before retiring from professional baseball in 2011.

Cates graduated from the University of Louisville in 2007 with a bachelor’s degree in sports administration. A four-year starter at shortstop for the Cardinals (2004-07), Cates started 239 games and hit .302 with 270 hits, 162 runs scored, 101 RBIs, 44 doubles, five triples and three home runs. He also showed great strike zone discipline, finishing his career with 89 walks to just 69 strikeouts. A 3-time all-conference player, Cates played an integral role in leading Louisville to its first-ever College World Series appearance in 2007. Voted team captain by his teammates and coaches, Cates was a semifinalist for the Lowe’s Senior CLASS Award and the recipient of the Men’s BIG EAST/Aeropostale Scholar-Athlete award, which earned him a postgraduate scholarship.

Chris and his wife, Meagan, have a son, Cohen.

Kevin Bowers
Director of Recruiting Read more Read less

Kevin Bowers was named the Director of Recruiting in June 2024. The veteran coach, former administrator and longtime colleague of Coach Hannahs brings nearly 30 combined years of experience to the Bulls.

Bowers spent the 2024 season on staff with Hannahs at Indiana State University where the Sycamores won over 40 games for the second consecutive year and reached their second straight NCAA Regional. He also had a stint on staff with the Sycamores as an assistant coach from 1999-2000.

Prior to rejoining the Indiana State staff in the summer of 2023, Bowers had a decorated career at Lincoln Trail College where he served as the head coach and Athletic Director for the Statesmen since 2010. Bowers took over as head coach after Hannahs departed. The veteran coach led Lincoln Trail to a 33-18 overall record in his final season of 2023 that included a trip to the Region 24 Tournament. That success was consistent throughout his tenure featuring a trio of NJCAA Region XXIV titles and three GRAC titles.

Bowers’ teams achieved success both on and off the field. Since 2005, Bowers had over 175 of his players move on to NCAA D-1 institutions, seeing 23 sign professional contracts and four named NJCAA-All Americans.

In the classroom, his teams never received below a 3.0 team GPA, and the 2006 squad was named NJCAA Academic Team of the Year. On 11 other occasions, his teams were ranked in the top 25 in the nation academically.

Prior to his time at Lincoln Trail, he spent two years at UW-Platteville (2000-02) where he served as the hitting coach and recruiting coordinator. The 2001-02 Platteville team established school records in hits, runs, RBI and doubles, while posting its best record in 10 years.

Bowers graduated from UW-Parkside and was an assistant there for five years before moving on to Indiana State for the 1999-2000 season. In 2001, he received his Master’s of Education from the University of Wisconsin-Platteville.
