Steve Bieser led Southeast Missouri to three consecutive Ohio Valley Conference championships and guided the Redhawks to a 2016 NCAA Regional appearance. A two-time OVC Coach of the Year, Bieser won 35 or more games in each of his last three seasons as head coach, a feat that had been accomplished only once before he took over the baseball program in 2013. He compiled a 138-97 record and turned in a .587 winning percentage in his time at SEMO, the best among any coach in the program’s NCAA Division I era. After a successful playing career, Bieser was drafted in the 32nd round of the 1989 MLB Draft by the Philadelphia Phillies. He played 13 years as a professional and played 60 career MLB games between the New York Mets and Pittsburgh Pirates.
