Southeast Missouri State University Athletics

1995-2012
Mark Hogan is the all-time winningest coach in Southeast Missouri baseball history, retired after 18 seasons at the helm. He compiled a 526-456-1 (.536) record with one Ohio Valley Conference regular-season title (2002), two OVC Tournament crowns (1998, 2002) and the program's only two NCAA Tournament appearances (1998, 2002). Southeast became one of the elite teams in the OVC under Hogan's leadership. Not only did the Redhawks make the league's postseason tournament 18-straight years, but they racked up 248 conference victories along the way. Southeast also played in the OVC Tournament title game seven times and posted 15 or more league wins in eight seasons. A native of Cape Girardeau, Hogan achieved many milestones throughout his illustrious 31-year coaching career which culminated with an overall record of 911-713-3 between the NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II and NJCAA Division I ranks. Hogan picked up his 900th career win when the Redhawks beat Arkansas State on Apr. 17, 2012 and notched his 500th victory at Southeast when the Redhawks defeated Eastern Illinois on May 20, 2011. In 2007, Hogan surpassed the legendary Joe Uhls for the most wins in school history. He was also the first to win 30 games in a season that year, a feat he accomplished on nine occasions. Hogan led Southeast to a school record 37 wins and was named the OVC Coach of the Year, as the Redhawks won both the league's regular-season and tournament titles in 2002. Southeast later advanced to the NCAA Tuscaloosa Regional where it beat host Alabama, giving Hogan his first postseason win. Hogan coached a total of 80 All-OVC honorees (40 first-team selections; 30 second-team picks; 10 All-Freshman Team selections). Thirteen of his players earned either the OVC Rookie, Player or Pitcher of the Year award. He also coached 13 All-Americans, two Hall of Famers and 15 Major League Draft picks during his time at Southeast. Among that group was Trenton Moses, who became only the third player in league history to win the coveted OVC Player of the Year honor in multiple seasons (2011, 2012). In his final to seasons as head coach, Hogan had four student-athletes win the OVC Medal of Honor and 29 make the OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll. Additionally, the Redhawks earned a Team Academic Achievement Award in 2011 for having the most student-athletes with a 3.25 or better grade point average.
