The West Coast League baseball team that will play in Ridgefield next summer has announced its first head coach.
Chris Cota was named to the position on Friday. He is entering his 19th season as head coach at College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita, Calif.
Cota’s two jobs will not conflict, as the WCL season begins in June, after the collegiate season ends.
“We are excited to add Chris to our organization and follow his leadership on the field in our inaugural season,” Ridgefield General Manager Gus Farah in a statement. “Chris comes highly recommended by many college coaches and colleagues around the country. He will guide our college-aged players with focus on development of their skills and accountability as they work towards their dreams of playing college baseball at a high level and preparing for the MLB draft.”
