Scott Barnum joins the Bronco Baseball coaching staff for the 2023-24 season.
Barnum served as pitching coach at Dawson Community College in Glendive, Montana in 22-23 and was an assistant at rival Howard College in Big Spring, Texas from 20-22. During his time with the Hawks, Barnum worked with outfield, infield, catchers and pitchers and helped the team secure a conference title and win a game at the regional tourney. He helped more than 20 athletes move on to NCAA Division I programs.
Barnum also spent a summer season as pitching coach for the Burlington Bees (Prospect League) in Burlington, Iowa in 2021, helping one pitcher earn an independent baseball contract.
Before Howard, Barnum served as a student assistant coach at Abilene Christian University, where his playing career was cut short by a torn labrum in 2019. He earned a bachelor's degree in sociology from ACU in 2020.
Barnum played NCAA Division-II baseball at Notre Damn College in his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio before moving on to Howard where he pitched for the Hawks.
