Jason Marshall
Incredible Motivator, College Baseball Coach, Family Man
A fixture on UTSA’s coaching staff since 2001, Jason Marshall was named head baseball coach in June of 2012.
After serving as an assistant his first three seasons for the Roadrunners, Marshall was promoted to associate head coach prior to the 2004 campaign and entered his ninth year in that role in 2012. In this role, the Abilene native served as both the infielders coach and recruiting coordinator in addition to running the UTSA Baseball camps.
His efforts on the recruiting trails have resulted in a pair of All-Americans (Mark Schramek 2002/Michael Rockett 2008), five Freshman All- Americans (Ryan Crew 2003/Rockett 2006/Tim Palincsar 2007/Ryan Dalton 2010/Riley Good 2011), 51 All-Southland Conference performers (including 11 first teamers), the 2007 and ’08 Southland Regular Season Championships and 2005 Southland Tournament title.
The Roadrunners posted a .964 fielding percentage in 2007, the second-best mark in school history, and have recorded the top five fielding seasons in school annals under his guidance. Six years ago, UTSA led the Southland Conference with a school-record .969 fielding percentage.
A standout performer at Texas A&M from 1989-92, he was named the Aggies’ Most Valuable Player after leading the team in games played (61), hits (66), runs scored (35) and RBIs (40) as a senior.
Following his collegiate career, he was drafted by the Kansas City Royals in the 13th round of the 1992 Major League Baseball Draft. Marshall went on to play four seasons in the Royals organization before finishing his professional career in 1995.
He then entered the coaching ranks as a student assistant at his alma mater in 1996 and was a member of Texas A&M’s staff for two seasons. In summer 1997, Marshall coached with the Cotuit Kettleers in the prestigious Cape Cod League.
The following fall, he was hired as the assistant in charge of defense and recruiting at McMurry University. Marshall helped lead the Indians to postseason play in two of his three seasons and, in 1998, McMurry won the
American Southwest Conference regular season and tournament championships.
He currently serves on the American Baseball Coaches Association’s Lefty Gomez Award committee and, in 2001, he was invited to speak at the groups annual convention on the subject of infield play. He was a keynote speaker again in 2009, this time on coaching ethics. Marshall has also been a featured speaker at the THSBCA Convention in 2000, Breakaway in 2005 and many other civic, church and athletic groups throughout the last 20 years.
Marshall and wife, Ashleigh, have two sons, Cooper and Jackson, and a daughter, Kate.
