Marcus Lydon

<div>I am a Eugene kid born and raised. I have always been proud of our area, from Willamette Valley All-Stars to playing for the Challengers. I graduated from Marist Catholic in 2017. Played four years of football and baseball there. I was a 2X Challenger under Coach Riley. In my Senior summer, I played for the Redding Colt 45's (Wood bat). The impact my father and other coaches in the area had on me is inspiring, and their lessons made baseball and sports more than just games to me. This made my life and baseball much easier as I went through the struggles every athlete does. I got into coaching because of the core impact my coaches had on me and the better man they made me. Not just the player.<br><br></div><div><br><br></div><div>2018: Seattle University (OF)<br>2019: Linn Benton CC (2B)<br>2020: University of Oregon (Utility)<br>2021: Assistant Director of Player Development - U of O</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Hitting Coach - Eugene Challengers (State Champions)</div><div>2022: Assistant Director of Player Development - U of O</div><div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Hitting Coach - Wenatchee Applesox (WCL)</div><div><strong>14 College Player Commitments since 2023</strong></div>
