ATHENS, Ohio -- Ohio Athletics announced today (May19) that the department will seek new leadership for its baseball program.  

"I would like to thank Craig Moore for his dedication and contributions to our baseball program for the past 13 years," Cromer said. "We greatly appreciate everything he has done for Ohio Athletics and wish him and his family the best."

Moore spent the last four seasons as head coach of the Bobcats after previously serving as the interim head coach in 2021. He spent his first eight years in Athens as an assistant coach. 

During his time as an assistant, Moore helped lead Ohio to two Mid-American Conference Tournament Championships and two NCAA Regional appearances. 
 
In his tenure at the helm, five Bobcats were selected in the MLB First-Year Player draft, including Joe Rock (2021) and Rudy Rott (2019). Rock was a first-team All-MAC selection and earned a place on Collegiate Baseball's 2021 NCAA Division I All-American Second Team. Rott is the only two-time MAC Player of the Year in conference history. He was a third-team All-American by both Collegiate Baseball and ABCA and was a two-time first team All-MAC selection. 
 
Since 2021, 33 Bobcats have earned Academic All-MAC recognition, while seven players garnered All-MAC postseason honors.

Ohio Athletics will conduct a national search to identify the next head coach.
