Jim Schlossnagle has announced that he has promoted Nolan Cain to associate head coach for the upcoming 2024 season. Cain will replace Nate Yeskie, who left the Aggies for LSU.
Cain joined Schlossnagle in Aggieland in June of 2021 and has headed up recruiting efforts for the program since his arrival. He will continue in that capacity, along with continuing to coach third base in-game and work with Aggie catchers.
“Nolan has been the glue to our program over the past two years and especially over the past few weeks,” Schlossnagle said. “He has more than earned this promotion and has continued to prove his incredible value both on the field and on the recruiting trail. We are excited to have Nolan and his family in Aggieland for a long time!”
Cain came to A&M after 8 seasons on former head coach Paul Manieri’s staff at LSU, including 5 seasons as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. He also worked one season as the Tigers’ volunteer coach and two seasons as coordinator of operations.
He is considered a top recruiter, and is credited in part for last year’s class that included Freshman All-America outfielder Jace LaViolette and pitchers Justin Lamkin and Shane Sdao. Three of his last 4 recruiting classes at LSU were ranked in the national top 5, including a No. 2 ranking by Baseball America for his 2020 class.
