DAYTON – Wright State head baseball coach Alex Sogard has announced the addition of Jordan Chiero as an assistant coach for the Raidergang. Chiero will also become the program's recruiting coordinator.
Â
Chiero has lived in both the scouting and player development world for the last eight years, serving as the scouting director for PBR Ohio, as the hitting coordinator at Bo Jackson's Elite Sports in Columbus and as an associate scout for the 2023 World Champion Texas Rangers.Â
Â
"I could not be more excited to welcome Jordan and his family to the Raidergang," said Sogard. "Jordan is a great person, a tireless worker and an outstanding baseball mind. He knows our program well and he will make an immediate and substantial impact on elevating our recruiting footprint nationally. He will be a great asset to our program as we strive to continue producing quality student-athletes that achieve at the highest level."
Â
As the scouting director with PBR Ohio, Chiero developed deep rooted relationships while evaluating the state's talent while helping thousands of players find a home at the next level. As the hitting coordinator at the Bo Dome, Chiero has personally mentored and worked with over 100 players that have gone on to play at the NCAA Division I level as part of the over 200-plus players who have played at the collegiate level, as well as having worked with several current professional hitters.Â
Â
Chiero will assist Sogard with day-to-day administrative duties, coach the outfielders and assist with the offense as well as heading up the recruiting efforts.
Â
Chiero served as the Otterbein University hitting coach in 2016, guiding the Cardinals to one of the top offensive seasons in program history. The Cardinals ranked in the top 15 in the country in hits per game, doubles, doubles per game, home runs, home runs per game, slugging percentage and runs per game. Chiero also served as an assistant coach at Wright State in 2015, helping the Raiders to a runner-up NCAA regional finish in 2015 as well as a Horizon League Tournament Championship while working with hitters and infielders.Â
Â
In his playing days at NCAA Division II Tiffin, Chiero was a four-year letterman, becoming a two-time All-GLIAC selection. Upon graduation, he ranked in Top 10 all-time at Tiffin for most putouts and hits, and still holds single-game records for most home runs (three) and RBI (nine). Chiero played professionally after his time at Tiffin, spending one season with the Taos Blizzard of the Pecos League.
