A Sudden Loss
The University of the Pacific announced that longtime baseball coach Reed Peters has died following a brief illness, leaving the program and its community in mourning.
Peters, who completed his second year as head coach, guided the Tigers to a 15‑11‑1 record in West Coast Conference play and secured the program’s first-ever appearance in the WCC Tournament, culminating in a dramatic walk‑off grand slam victory.
Under his direction the team posted 24 wins, the highest total since 2014, and delivered the best season in a decade, fulfilling a promise to elevate Pacific baseball.
Legacy of Leadership
Before joining the University of the Pacific, Peters spent 17 years shaping the program at San Joaquin Delta College, where he built a foundation that prepared him for this next challenge.
His dedication to player development and his strategic vision left an indelible mark on the players, staff, and fans who will remember his contributions to the sport.
