Les Hall - Florida Tech, Baseball Coach
A graduate of Marshall University in West Virginia, Les Hall spent the final 25 years of his illustrious career as head baseball coach and Associate Director of Athletics at Florida Tech, following a stellar coaching and teaching career at Satellite High School in Cocoa Beach, Florida. A brilliant leader and teacher, Hall coached more than 1100 games during his Florida Tech career. With 596 career wins, Hall ranks among the top-25 winningest coaches in Division II history. His 1991 and 1992 Panther squads earned postseason berths, with the 1992 team earning the South Atlantic regional championship and a berth in the NCAA Division II College World Series. Previously inducted into the Florida Tech Sports Hall of Fame in 1996, Hall was further honored with the retirement of his number and induction into the Satellite High School Hall of Fame in 1998. In 1999, Hall helped Florida Tech dedicate the school’s new baseball field, which bears his name and that of former major league star Andy Seminick. Hall’s most famous protege, Boston Red Sox pitcher Tim Wakefield, summed it up best in saying “Les helps you learn more about yourself and he knows how to help you when things aren’t going as well as you like.”
