Source-derived summary

Jeff Waggoner is an American baseball coach and former catcher, who is the former head baseball coach of the Marshall Thundering Herd. He played college baseball at Crowder College from 1995 to 1996 before transferring to Cleveland State from 1997 to 1998.

Playing career

Waggoner played catcher for two years at Crowder College, a junior college in Missouri, before completing his career at Cleveland State.

Coaching career

After completing his playing career, Waggoner began coaching at Saint Rose in Albany, New York. In his one season with the Golden Knights, they reached the Division II College World Series. He then landed an assistant coaching position with George Washington. The Colonials set a school record for wins (42), won the Atlantic 10 Conference championship, and were among the national leaders in many offensive categories in 2002. Waggoner then moved to Kent State for two seasons. The Golden Flashes claimed the 2004 Mid-American Conference baseball tournament and saw seven players picked in the Major League Baseball draft. He moved to NC State next, where he served as recruiting coordinator, as well as managing player development, academic support and travel, preparing him well for his future head coaching duties.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “baseball coach” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 27, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6175217. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
