SAN MARCOS, Texas — It's the end of an era for Texas State University baseball – Coach Ty Harrington has announced he will be stepping down.
Texas State Athletics shared the news in a Facebook Live on Thursday.
Some of Coach Harrington's stats include:
- All-time-winningest coach in program history with 646 wins
- 16 out of 20 winning seasons
- Three Conference Coach of the Year awards
- Four conference championships
- Three NCAA Regional appearances
- Three Conference Player of the Years
- 53 of his players have been drafted
The Texas State Bobcats also tweeted their thanks, calling Coach Harrington "one of the greatest baseball coaches Texas State will ever see."
Over the past two decades, Coach Harrington has led countless players through the baseball program. He was diagnosed with rectal cancer in August 2014. Despite the setback and a temporary leave of absence, he returned to coach the Bobcats up until now.
Athletic Director Larry Teis said not to worry, Coach Harrington is healthy.
"He's going to be very hard to replace, I can promise you that," said Teis.
