Report: Ohio State Buckeyes hire TCU assistant Bill Mosiello as new head baseball coach

Ohio State baseball has a new skipper, according to multiple reports on Wednesday. The Buckeyes are hiring TCU associate head coach Bill Mosiello after the program opted to move on from Greg Beals last month. Beals had led the baseball team for 12 seasons but failed to make the Big 10 Tournament this season.

Bill Mosiello has a lengthy resume with the latest bullet point being a 10-year stint with the TCU Horned Frogs. After joining the TCU staff in 2013, he assumed the role of associate head coach, as well as hitting/offensive coach and third base coach.

Mosiello arrived at TCU after spending two seasons at Tennessee serving as the recruiting coordinator and hitting instructor. He has over 20 years of collegiate coaching experience and seven more years of experience as a minor league manager.  

Over the course of his career, Mosiello has coached 80+ major league players, 28 All-Stars, two batting title winners, two AL MVPs and one AL Rookie of the Year. 

Mosiello helped guide the TCU to four straight appearances in the College World Series (2014-17) and six NCAA Tournaments. The Horned Frogs have led the Big 12 in batting average in two of the last eight seasons. Additionally, TCU has become one of the top base-running teams, ranking second among Power 5 schools with more than 700 stolen bases over the last eight campaigns. Three times the Frogs have surpassed the 100-stolen base mark.

TCU baseball ranked in the top 50 nationally in runs per game in six of the last eight campaigns. Along with the increased run production, TCU’s home run totals have climbed each season, reaching 65 in 2019, the most since the 2010 campaign.

Under the previous regime, Ohio State accumulated a 345-288-1 record and a 141-139 mark against Big Ten opponents.
