Biography

The University of Notre Dame’s John P. and Catherine Murphy Head Baseball Coach Shawn Stiffler has announced the hiring of Lucas Jones as an assistant coach for the baseball program. Jones will coordinate infield development and oversee all aspects of baserunning and the short game, while assisting Ryan Munger, who has been promoted to recruiting coordinator in addition to his current role as assistant coach, with hitting. In his first season with the Irish, Jones helped the Irish hitters draw the most walks in a season in 20 years and post their third-consecutive year of 80+ doubles, 10+ triples and 60+ home runs during the Stiffler era. “Lucas has been a winner at every level of college baseball,” Stiffler said. “During his head coaching stops, Lucas has taken three different programs and turned them into national brands and champions. His love for teaching the game and ability to develop relationships will have a huge impact on our program. We are thrilled to have Lucas, Karla and their three children join the Notre Dame family.” “My wife and I, along with our three children – Gavin, Hadley and Dayton – are extremely grateful to the University of Notre Dame and Coach Shawn Stiffler for this incredible opportunity,” said Jones. “My goal is to assist this great institution by serving our student-athletes at the highest level and helping share in the vision that Coach Stiffer and his staff have established.” Jones joins the Fighting Irish after a successful coaching stint at
