Claremont baseball coach let go after 4 seasons

After four years on the job, Claremont baseball coach Steve Jackson was fired following the season, according to Claremont athletic director Rick Dutton. Jackson, who was a firefighter in addition to a baseball coach, failed to lead Claremont to a playoff berth in his four seasons.

“When you’re an off-campus coach, for some two or three hours is enough but baseball requires a little more than that,” Dutton said. “Part of the issue with Steve was that he was a little too involved (as a fireman) and we were concerned that he didn’t have enough time for baseball.”

Claremont is currently accepting applications for the coaching vacancy and hopes to have someone in place by July.
