Jason Pagan, Director of Operation and Recruiting

Jason Pagan is the director and head coach of Baseball - Softball 101. In addition to overseeing the Baseball 101 and Softball 101 programs, he has coached at the University of Hawaii, Hilo and College of Southern Nevada.

After the 2014 season, well-known Lady Coyotes like Mikela Manewa went to Oregon State University, Tiani Hensley to Utah Valley University, Presley Whetman to Arizona Christian University, and Ariel Frantz to Boise State University. Many of them were known for hitting. Manewa, for example, led the SWAC in batting average (.466) and was selected to the All-Region 18 first team the year prior to being recruited by Oregon State. CSN also produced numerous All-Region 18 softball players over the years, as well as a handful of NJCAA All-American nominees.

In addition to his time with College of Southern Nevada, Jason Pagan has also served on the coaching staffs at Palo Verde High School and Bonanza High School in Las Vegas. After coaching high school and college ball, Pagan formed the Scorpions Baseball and Lady Scorpions Softball programs with longtime friend and colleague Joe Lee. Eventually, the program was reformed to become Baseball Softball 101.
