Stacy Parker has been named to develop and coach Irvine Valley College s first baseball team. Parker, who most recently was an assistant coach at San Diego State University, has begun building the program with a spring semester baseball class. The Lasers will compete in a summer league in preparation for their first season of play in the spring of 2000. He went on to play at UC Irvine from 1986-89 and then spent four years in the minor leagues in the Texas Rangers and Philadelphia Phillies organizations. Parker started his coaching career at Orange Coast College and moved on to San Diego State where he was the third base coach.
Plans are under way for construction of a baseball complex near the softball field on campus.
