Wagner College Baseball – Prospect Camps
Wagner College Director of Athletics Walt Hameline announced the promotion of Craig Noto as Wagner’s 14th head baseball coach back on May 25, 2021.
Noto, no stranger to the Northeast Conference (NEC), helped guide the Seahawks to three league tournament appearances in 2017, 2018, and 2019 in his role as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator.
In 2018, Wagner ranked among the top three in eight conference statistical categories. The Seahawks finished second in the league in hits (505), total bases (751), and stolen bases (61). The Green & White also ranked third in the following categories: slugging percentage (.401), on-base percentage (.363), runs scored (318), RBIs (284), and walks (239).
This will be Coach Noto’s first head coaching position at the Division I level. He is no stranger to leading a team, as Noto has served as the head coach of the Wisconsin Rapids Rafters of the Northwoods League since 2015, where he has accumulated 249 wins and a winning percentage of .621, the best winning percentage among all Northwoods League members.
In 2020, Noto moved past four coaches to become the seventh winningest coach in Northwoods League history. The Rafters finished the season with a 35-11 record. In 2019, he led the team to its fifth division title and third postseason appearance.
