Head Coach Baseball Coach 1981-87
Steve Traylor, the only coach in the 2006 class, was the first baseball coach in the program's history and was instrumental in setting a tone of excellence for a program that has sent 71 players to professional baseball. While coaching at FAU from 1981-87, Traylor amassed a 268-107-2 record for an outstanding .714 win percentage. In just his second season (1982), Traylor guided the Owls to a District 25 runner-up finish. In his third season (1983), FAU was crowned the NAIA District 25 Champions. Traylor also guided the program from NAIA to NCAA Division II status without a hiccup. In the program's first season at the Division II level, the team captured a berth in the 1985 NCAA South Regional. Following his outstanding stint at FAU, the Ohio native, became the head coach at Duke University and is currently the head coach at Wofford. Traylor is also a member of the FAU Baseball Hall of Fame Inaugural class.
