Loiseau comes to Penn State from a head coaching role at Southern New Hampshire University, where he has led the Penmen since 2016. He also led Southern New Hampshire from 2008 to 2014, with a year difference as he served as a recruiting coordinator at Oklahoma.
Loiseau has been named Northeast-10 Coach of the Year six times and holds a career coaching record of 480-209-2. He has also led the Penmen to five Division II College World Series appearances, as well as 11-straight NCAA Tournaments.

Jauss helped three Eagle pitchers hear their names called in the 2022 MLB Draft and led the team to a 2.54 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 2023, which was ranked No. 26 in the country.
Puccio has Big Ten baseball experience and comes to Penn State from Northwestern, where he was the hitting coach and recruiting coordinator for the Wildcats. He served as the head coach at Nichols University before his tenure at Northwestern.
