Lindsay Meggs enters his second season with the Hawai‘i baseball program in 2025 after joining as an assistant coach prior to the start of the 2024 season. A head coach for the last 29 years prior to arriving at UH, Meggs owns 967 career head coaching wins. He came to Manoa after retiring as the head coach at Washington after 13 seasons from 2010-22, leading the Huskies to a College World Series appearance in 2018.
“To bring on a coach of Lindsay Meggs’ caliber to our storied program here at the University of Hawai‘i is amazing,” said head coach Rich Hill. “The stars aligned, and it was a perfect situation for coach to be able to come and impact the lives and the development of our student-athletes. He has coached around the best in the game and is widely recognized as one of the top in-game coaches and developmental specialists in college baseball.”
