University of Texas head baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle announced the hiring of assistant coach Jack Marder on July 1, 2026.

Widely regarded as one of college baseball's top assistant coaches and premier recruiters, Marder arrives on The Forty Acres after spending the past seven seasons at Oregon.

He has been recognized by D1Baseball as one of the '100 Assistant Coaches Athletic Directors Should Know' and one of the '25 Assistants Most Ready to be Head Coaches.' Marder was also tabbed to the '10 of the Hottest Assistant Coaches Names in College Baseball' list by Baseball America.

During his tenure in Eugene, the Ducks compiled a 249-124 (.668) ledger. Oregon qualified for the NCAA Tournament in each of Marder's six full seasons, advancing to the super regionals in 2023, 2024 and 2026.

The six consecutive postseason appearances are the longest streak in school history, besting the four-year run from 2012 to 2015. The Ducks won a pair of conference championships, claiming the 2023 Pac-12 Conference Tournament crown and 2025 Big Ten Conference title.

"Jack is quite simply one of the best coaches and recruiters in college baseball," Schlossnagle said. "His incredible success at Oregon on the recruiting trail speaks for itself. He's a tremendous evaluator of talent, an outstanding teacher of the game and someone who connects with players in a meaningful way. Whether it's recruiting, player development or helping build the culture of a team, he has proven he can push programs to new heights. We're thrilled to welcome Jack and Scout to Austin."

Under Marder's tutelage, Oregon established 19 single-season school records, highlighted by its 115 home runs and 438 RBI in 2025. The Ducks also set 11 career records, including new marks in runs, hits, homers, RBI, slugging percentage and on-base percentage.

He mentored 12 MLB Draft picks, 14 All-America honorees and 32 All-Conference selections at Oregon.

"First and foremost, I want to express my sincere gratitude to everyone at the University of Oregon," Marder said. "To Coach Mark Wasikowski, the players, coaches, administrators, alumni and fans — thank you for believing in me and allowing me to be a part of something incredibly special. The relationships we built and the experiences we shared will always mean a great deal to me. I wouldn't be standing here today without the people who invested in me throughout my journey, and I'm forever grateful for the impact they've had on my life, both personally and professionally. ...

"At the same time, I couldn't be more excited and honored to join the University of Texas. The opportunity to work alongside this great staff is one that I don't take lightly. They are tremendous coaches, leaders and people, and I'm grateful for the trust they've placed in me. Texas baseball is one of the premier programs in all of college athletics. The tradition, the expectations, the passionate fan base and the standard of excellence are unmatched. Those expectations aren't intimidating — they're exactly what drew me here. I came to Texas with one purpose: to help this program win a national championship. Every decision we make, every relationship we build and every day we step on the field will be driven by that goal. I'm excited to pour everything I have into our players, this University and this community. Thank you to everyone who made this opportunity possible. My wife and I are incredibly grateful to be here. We can't wait to get to work."

Prior to returning to Eugene, he spent two years as an assistant coach at Stanford. Marder assisted with nearly all aspects of the program, working with the Cardinal's hitters and catchers, while serving as the team's first base coach as well.

In his final campaign, Stanford finished 45-14, posting the fifth-highest winning percentage (.763) and third-fewest losses in school history.

Marder helped develop nine student-athletes chosen in the 2019 MLB Draft, headlined by backstop Maverick Handley. Handley claimed Pac-12 Conference Co-Defensive Player of the Year distinction, pacing the league in pickoffs (9) and stolen bases caught (13).

Before his stop on The Farm, Marder was an assistant coach for one season with the Keiser Seahawks. At Keiser, he led the squad's recruiting operations and coached third base. The Seahawks made their first-ever NAIA World Series appearance, punctuated by a conference championship and a school-record 43 wins.

Marder was also a volunteer assistant and the director of camps at Purdue in 2016. He started his coaching career as an undergraduate assistant at Oregon in 2015-16, while completing his degree in political science.

The Calabasas, Calif., native played four years of professional baseball in the Seattle Mariners organization, including two seasons at Double-A. Marder heard his name called in the 16^th round of the 2011 MLB Draft following two standout campaigns at Oregon.
