Two more coaches have joined the ranks on D-III head coaches this summer and one has the interim tag removed. Edwin Thompson and Jason Hawkins will coach at opposite ends of the country and Justin Dedman will remain at Denison. Thompson and Hawkins joins Lawrence's Jason Anderson as head coaches hired this summer.

Thompson has been named head baseball coach at Bates, replacing Craig Vandersea who resigned last June. A Maine native, Thompson most recently served as associate head baseball coach and recruiting coordinator at the Maine–Farmington. "I'm thankful for the chance to coach at Bates and in my hometown area of Maine, and I'm very excited about the trajectory of this program," said Thompson. "We'll be a team that you'll want to come out and see play. We're going to do all the little things to win baseball games, and we're going to play with passion."

Hawkins, a second-generation coach with 14 years of experience on both the collegiate and high school levels, has been named head baseball coach at Occidental. "I am very excited to be named head coach at Occidental," said Hawkins, currently assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for Redlands and pitching coach for the Corvallis Knights of the West Coast Collegiate Baseball League. "Becoming Occidental's new head baseball coach is a tremendous honor. I am humbled by the welcome my wife and I have already received. I look forward to building on the rich traditions on the field; working with a talented group of driven young men and starting a life in the Eagle Rock area with my wife and two boys."

Denison named Dedman the head baseball coach after spending the 2007-08 academic year as the interim head coach. A 2005 Denison graduate, Dedman guided the Big Red to a 27-18 record while capturing the program's fourth North Coast Athletic Conference west division crown last season. The 27 victories were the third most in school history and the squad advanced to the NCAC Championship Series where they came within one game of advancing to the NCAA Division III Championship Tournament. "I am overwhelmed with pride and excitement to be the head baseball coach at such an amazing university," said Dedman. "I look forward to pursuing and fulfilling the lofty goals that I have for the players in our program. It will be great fun to lead and teach our hungry student athletes about life and baseball."

The head coaching position at Wheaton (Ill.) remains unfilled.
