Jed Morris
Head Baseball Coach, Eastern University
Jed Morris began as the head coach of Eastern University Baseball in 2013. Morris enjoyed tremendous success as a college baseball player at Nebraska and spent several years in the Oakland Athletics minor league system.
As the Big 12 player of the year in 2002, Morris, a catcher, helped the Cornhuskers to reach the College World Series for the second straight season. Morris put up prodigious numbers at the plate while leading the Nebraska defense behind it. He was drafted by the Athletics in the 2002 "Moneyball" draft, and he was in the process of climbing through the system when he was diagnosed with Leukemia. Morris beat Leukemia and returned to the minors where he eventually finished his playing career as a member of the Lancaster (Pa.) Barnstormers organization in the Independent League. He was named the organization's "Community Man of the Year" for his work with others who were looking to fight cancer. Morris hopes that his experience in life and baseball will prove to be invaluable as he leads an Eastern program that has been steadily improving.

Luke Howard
Assistant Baseball Coach, King College
In just one season the effects of Luke Howard’s teachings to the King Tornado pitching staff have become evident after the Scarlet and Navy achieved 30 wins and advanced to the conference postseason tournament, largely behind the Tornado’s arms. Howard begins his second season with King serving as the team’s pitching coach and recruiting coordinator. Despite the loss of the team’s ace from 2011, Howard helped mold a three-armed machine that accounted for 22 of the team’s 30 wins last season. He helped Cory Rhoades become the Tornado’s No. 1 hurler, leading the team in wins (9), earned run average (3.09), and strikeouts (74) en route to achieving All-Conference honors. Rhodes was second in the conference in overall wins and third in strikeouts while posting numbers across the board that were personal improvements for the sophomore. Howard also groomed lefty Reiss Stanley into a full-time starter while turning Wes Houser into a threat from the bump at any point in the game with his seven wins, two saves, and three complete games while leading the team and finishing second in the league in innings pitched (98.0).
