ULL's Hitting Coach
Anthony Babineaux. Impressive resume since coming on board since 2009.
Anthony Babineaux has been a member of the Ragin' Cajuns coaching staff since 1995. From 2009 through 2012 he served as head assistant coach and third base coach.
In 2013, Babineaux was named associate head coach and will move into the dugout as bench coach.
He is in charge of the Cajuns' infielders and also works with the offense, assists in recruiting and coordinates travel and scheduling.
During his first year with the offense, the 2009 Cajuns increased their batting average by 30 points. Runs scored, doubles, triples, RBI, slugging percentage, and on-base percentage also increased. In 2010, the Cajuns stole 101 bases which was one off the Sun Belt lead and most since 2002. UL had four players with double-digit stolen bases, also the highest since 2002. Alex Fuselier (20), Kyle Olasin (19) and Brian Bowman (17) finished in the Sun Belt's Top 10.
In 2011, the Cajuns led the Sun Belt Conference in stolen bases with 82. Three players, Alex Fuselier (14), Mike Petello (13), and Greg Fontenot (12), finished with double-digit stolen bases.
Along with former assistant coach John Szefc and the rest of the Cajuns staff, their 2004-05 signing class was ranked 55th in the nation and tops in the Sun Belt Conference by Collegiate Baseball.
In 2007, Baseball America ranked their signing class tops in the Lower Midwest Region and SBC
A Dozen and Counting
Babineaux's coaching career began as a student assistant in 1995 - Tony Robichaux's first year at UL. In 1996, he served as volunteer assistant and was appointed assistant coach in 1997.
Working with the infielders and hitters, he has helped guide UL to three of the top four single-season batting average totals in school history. Along the way, the Cajuns recorded their first-ever Sun Belt Conference regular season and tournament championships, appeared in eight NCAA Regionals, advanced to two NCAA Super Regionals and the 2000 College World Series.
Since 2001, Babineaux has helped the Cajuns claim conference championships in 2005, 2007 and 2010 and earn regional bids in 2002, 2005, 2007 and 2010.
In spring 2012, College Baseball Insider tabbed Babineaux as the Assistant Coach in the Sun Belt Conference most ready for a head coaching job.
American Legion
From 1990-2000, Babineaux coached a Third District West American Legion team and guided his squads to five titles (1993, 1997-2000), seven regional appearances (1990, 1993, 1996-2000) and two state tournaments (1998 & 1999). In 1998, he guided his squad to a state title, Midwest Regional appearance and fell just two games short of a spot in the American Legion National World Series.
Off the Field
Babineaux is a 1995 graduate of UL, earning a degree in health and physical education. He came to UL in 1990 from Carencro High School. He was a two-time all-district and all-parish selection for the Bears. He gained all-state and all-district honors with his talent on the trumpet and has played the "Star Spangled Banner" both at "Tigue" Moore Field and Lamson Park.
He is a member of the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) and has served as guest speaker at many clinics around Louisiana.
Babineaux is married to former UL softball star Joni Podhorez of Tucker, Ga. The couple has two daughters, Brooklyn and Sydney. They reside in Lafayette.
