Randy Betten enters his 15th season (16th year) as the head coach of the Cal Poly Pomona baseball team in 2026. Through Betten's first 14 seasons at CPP, he has guided the Broncos to an overall record of 431-300, a .590 winning percentage, and nine NCAA Tournament appearances (2011, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019, 2022, 2023, and 2024). Named the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) West Region Coach of the Year in 2016, Betten has also led the Broncos to two NCAA Division II West Region championships (2015 and 2016). The Broncos have had winning seasons in 13 of his 14 seasons at the helm.  On April 6, 2024, Betten became the fastest coach in Cal Poly Pomona baseball history to reach the 400-win mark with a 5-4 victory at Stanislaus State, doing so in 655 career games. The only other person to reach that mark is legendary coach John Scolinos, who reached the 400-win mark in 737 games. Betten ranks second all-time in wins in school history, behind only Scolinos at 812. Prior to joining the Broncos, Betten served as an assistant at UC Riverside for the previous six seasons. After joining the UCR staff in September 2004, Betten helped guide the Highlanders to the Big West Conference title in 2007 as the squad was ranked as high as 13th in the nation during the year. That championship marked the first time in 20 years that a Division I program in the UC system won its conference championship outright. Before becoming part of the UCR program, Betten served as an assistant for California Baptist in 2004, when the Lancers overcame a slow start to post a 30-22 record and finished as runners-up in the Region II Tournament. Prior to his time with the Lancers, Betten served as an assistant on the staff at Riverside Community College from 1996 to 2003. He was the head assistant when the Tigers won three straight California Community College state championships from 2000 to 2002. Betten played professionally for six years after being taken in the 26th round by the California Angels in the 1995 draft. He reached as high as the AAA level with the Angels’ teams in Vancouver and Edmonton in 1998 and 1999. He began his coaching career in 2000 with the Angels Midwest League affiliate, Cedar Rapids. A graduate of New Life Christian High School in Highland, Calif., Betten began his college career at RCC, earning All-American, All-Southern California and All-Orange Empire Conference honors for Coach Rogers in 1992 and 1993. He then earned a scholarship to Arizona State. Playing for Coach Jim Brock, Betten was part of a team that finished third in the 1994 College World Series. In 1995, Betten earned All-Pacific 10 Conference first team honors. He also served as a team captain. Betten earned a Bachelor’s Degree in sociology from Thomas Edison State College in 1998. He also earned a Master’s Degree in physical education from Azusa Pacific University in 2002. Betten’s hobbies include playing golf and cooking. He and his wife, Amy, have three children, Beau, Cody and Grace, and reside in Riverside. Beau joined the CPP baseball program ahead of the 2024 season, and currently plays infield for the Broncos.  Betten Through the Years SEASON INSTITUTION OVERALL CCAA PLACE 2011 Cal Poly Pomona 36-23 22-18 4th 2012 Cal Poly Pomona 31-18 23-17 4th 2013 Cal Poly Pomona 26-24 18-22 8th 2014 Cal Poly Pomona 32-17 23-12 4th 2015 Cal Poly Pomona 46-17 28-12 1st 2016 Cal Poly Pomona 42-19 26-11 1st 2017 Cal Poly Pomona 34-22 27-11 2nd 2018 Cal Poly Pomona 30-24 25-19 4th 2019 Cal Poly Pomona 30-28 23-21 6th 2020* Cal Poly Pomona 13-8 11-5 2021 Cal Poly Pomona COVID-19 2022 Cal Poly Pomona 35-19 27-12 2nd 2023 Cal Poly Pomona 29-23 18-17 4th 2024 Cal Poly Pomona 32-24 25-15 3rd 2025 Cal Poly Pomona 15-34 12-28 11th OVERALL (14 seasons) 431-300 (.590) 308-220 (.583)    NCAA Tournament Appearance *2020 season was canceled in March after 21 games due to COVID-19 pandemic.
