"He got to dsu halfway through my college career and we started working on things the second he got here. He built a better culture and people can learn a lot from him."

"Understands what it takes to win. Loves to recruit and grow players to reach full potential. Not afraid to push players to be better. "

"I was a JUCO transfer for the 2020-2021 baseball season and it was not an enjoyable experience. I was hesitant on going back to DSU the following year but ended up going back for the 2022-2023 season which ended up being my final collegiate season. The 2022-2023 season happened to be Coach Baughan’s first year coaching, he replaced the coach that almost ruined baseball for me the year before. He made a huge difference as far as being tough on us when we needed it and also being personable. The last thing I told him on the baseball field was “thanks for making my last year great” I meant a lot by that, it meant that regardless of winning or losing it was enjoyable and we were more competitive as a team compared to the year prior. I really enjoyed the one year I had with Coach Baughan and we still keep in contact to this day. "

"One of the best coaches i’ve ever had. Next year we need to build discipline and structure "

"Super easy to relate to, as he’s young and thinks like a player. Knowledgeable, but can let emotions get the better of him on occasion."

"I have become a better baseball player because of your coaching ability."

"Great coach but still has a lot of learning to do not only with the sport but for how the sport is changing and evolving "
