Indiana State University Men's Baseball

Tracy Archuleta joins the Sycamores in the summer of 2024 following an 18-year tenure as the head coach at the University of Southern Indiana and a 23-year overall career as a head coach at both the NCAA Division I and Division II levels.   Archuleta led the Screaming Eagles for 18 years, including the programs transition to NCAA Division I and to two NCAA Division II national championships since taking the helm in 2007. He also has been recognized as the Division II ABCA National Coach of the Year twice (2010, 2014); the ABCA Midwest Region Coach of the Year five times (2007, 2010, 2014, 2016, 2018) and the GLVC Coach of the Year twice (2011, 2014). He was the winningest coach in the history of the program with 571 victories over his tenure. The Eagles progressed during their second season in the OVC and Division I action in 2024, improving by nine wins to 27-32 overall and finishing over .500 in the conference with a 14-13 mark. USI was fourth during the OVC regular season and finished third in the OVC Baseball Championship that included a win over top-seeded University of Arkansas at Little Rock. USI also grew statistically during the 2024 run raising its team batting average 10 points and lowered its team ERA by nearly two runs.   In Archuleta's 18 seasons, USI won two NCAA II national championships and five NCAA II Midwest Regional titles; won three GLVC West crowns and three GLVC East banners; one GLVC Tournament championship; and appeared in six NCAA II Regionals. Archuleta's Eagles also have featured 12 All-Americans, eighth Academic All-American, 34 All-Region performers, and 54 All-GLVC players. Fourteen players were drafted into the MLB ranks with USI alum Darin Mastroianni playing six years with both Toronto and Minnesota (2011-2016).   Archuleta came to USI after five seasons at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside that featured a pair of NCAA Division II Tournament appearances and a pair of 40-win seasons. UW-Parkside also advanced to the NCAA II North Central Regional title game in 2005 and was 148-124 (.544) during Archuleta's tenure. After setting the foundation during his first two years, Archuleta directed the UW-Parkside Rangers into the national spotlight with a 41-18 season in 2004, finishing on top of the GLVC standings and earning the school's first-ever NCAA II Tournament bid. In his tenure at UW-Parkside, Archuleta coached the Rangers first All-American, Regional Player of the Year, GLVC Player of the Year, and he had two players sign professional contracts and 11 players earn All-Region honors. He was tabbed GLVC Coach of the Year in 2004. Archuleta served as an assistant coach for five seasons at Wayne State College (Nebraska) and Central Missouri State University at the NCAA II level before taking the top spot at UW-Parkside. At Wayne State, he was the infield coach, hitting coach, and recruiting coordinator on the team that captured its first NSIC championship and NCAA II regional birth in the 2001 season. Archuleta helped guide the team's batting average to 25th in the country (2000) and, in 2001, the squad was third in the country in fielding percentage (.969). In 2001, Wayne State finished 26th in the country with a record of 35-10. During his tenure at CMSU, the Mules won the regular season conference championship with a record of 20-1 and were ranked as high as fifth in the nation. The team picked up an NCAA tournament bid and finished 16th in the country with a 43-10 mark. Archuleta was CMSU's outfield coach and recruiting coordinator. He also assisted the hitters. The native of Iliff, Colorado, earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Metropolitan State College of Denver and has a master's degree in education from Wayne State College. He has three children, Mikaela, Alex, and Sam.
