Coach Medina begins his second season on the sidelines of CSUDH after six years as an assistant coach at Cypress College. While at Cypress College, Coach Medina worked primarily with pitchers and hitters as he brought Cypress to the state finals each of his six years.
Prior to that, he was a very successful high school coach at local schools, including the junior varsity softball and varsity golf coach at St Joseph High School, also enjoying coaching stints at Cerritos High and Artesia High.
Coach Medina spent many years playing men’s fast pitch softball, earning a reputation for being a great slap hitter and infielder.
In addition to collegiate coaching, Medina also runs the Artesia Punishers Girls Softball program, where he oversees and guides the 14 and 16 under teams, and coaches the 18 and under team, which placed 1st at the 18U ASA Western Nationals in 2004 and attended the 18U ASA Nationals in Georgia in 2005.
“Bobby’s a perfect fit, he fits so well with the philosophy of what we’re doing,” begins head coach Jim Maier. “He has a real impact on the coaching staff and the kids love him.”
Coach Medina and his wife DeAnn have two daughters, Jennifer (23) and Michelle (18).
