Geoff Loomis, Head Coach
Geoff
Loomis starts his sixth year as head baseball coach at Pacific Lutheran
University with a 118-82 win-loss record. He is the 11th head coach
in the program's history and accomplished in 2007 what few others
have, leading the Lutes to the Northwest Conference championship.
It was the program's first conference title of any kind in 53 years.
In Loomis’ first five seasons at PLU, the Lutes reached the
record books in several individual and team offensive categories.
During their conference title run in 2007, they rewrote numerous
team and individual records. Most significantly, Loomis led the
2007 Lutes to a 35-9 overall record, shattering the old PLU single-season
record of 26 wins set in 1994.
In addition to coaching at Pacific Lutheran, Loomis coached the
Aloha Knights for five seasons, leading that team to consecutive
Pacific International League division titles, including a club record
54-14 mark in 2001. In 2004, the team won the National Baseball
Congress World Series in Wichita, Kan. Loomis was named National
Manager of the Year by the National Baseball Congress. He also was
an assistant coach at George Fox University for five seasons (1996-2000).
Loomis played his collegiate baseball at the University of Portland,
where he earned Pac-10 Player of the Year honors in 1992 and All-Pac-10
recognition in 1991 and 1992. He was selected in the 1992 free agent
draft by Oakland and played in the Athletics' minor league system
from 1992-94. He was named Oakland A's affiliate Minor League Player
of the Year in 1993.
Following his playing career, Loomis returned to the University
of Portland where he earned his bachelor’s degree in business
administration in 1994. He earned a master’s degree in teaching
from Pacific University (Ore.) in 1997, and was a business teacher
at David Douglas High School in Portland, Ore., prior to coming
to Pacific Lutheran.
In addition to coaching the Pacific Lutheran baseball team, Loomis
is also an assistant athletic director. His duties include game
management at other PLU athletic events.
Loomis and his wife, Anna, have two daughters, Bryn and Addison,
and a son, Cooper, and live in Puyallup. Anna is a 1993 graduate
of Pacific Lutheran University.
