Former McAllen Memorial player Gautreau becomes coach
Comments 0 | Recommend 0NEW ORLEANS - Former Tulane and McAllen Memorial baseball player Jake Gautreau is returning to the university as an assistant coach. Gautreau was a three-year starter at third base for the Green Wave from 1999-2001.
Gautreau, who graduated from McAllen Memorial, was drafted No. 14 overall during the 2001 MLB Draft.
Coach Rick Jones said on Wednesday that he believes Gautreau's success as a player will make him an effective coach.
During his career, Gautreau helped the team to a 142-50-1 record, to win the 2001 Conference USA regular-season championship, a pair of C-USA Tournament titles, three trips to the NCAA Regionals and a berth in the 2001 College World Series.
