- Assistant Coach
Drew LaComb enters his second season in the role of hitting coach and offensive coordinator for the Falcons in 2025, as he joined Air Force having previously served as the head coach of Regis University for four seasons. The Rangers were an impressive 87-77-1 during his tenure as skipper.
In his second year in the Falcon dugout, LaComb guided to a 20-34 record including a 12-18 mark in Mountain West play. At the plate, the Birds produced 499 hits, scored 364 runs, and posted a team batting average of .282 while slugging .445. Under LaComb’s leadership, Zach Peters emerged as an offensive standout, earning Mountain West All-Conference honors after leading the team at the plate during the ’25 campaign: batting average (.347), runs (54), hits (68), slugging percentage (.602), doubles (20), home runs (8), and RBIs (48).
During the 2024 season, LaComb helped lead the Falcons to an 18-12 Mountain West record resulting in the first Regular Season Championship title in program history and an overall record of 27-28. Under LaComb, the Falcon hitters posted a team batting average of .286 and a .468 slugging percentage. At the plate, Air Force hit 64 home runs, the sixth best in Falcon history, 105 doubles, 20 triples, and totaled 332 RBIs, while also drawing 224 walks. The Falcons saw five Mountain West All-Conference selections, including Co-Player of the Year, Jay Thomason, and Second Team honorees, Sam Kulasingam and Chase Spencer.
Regis continued its steady progression under LaComb in 2023 as the team reached the RMAC Tournament championship game for the first time since 2012, falling to nationally No. 1 ranked Colorado Mesa. The Rangers, who tied the school record for the longest winning streak (13) during the spring, finished the 2023 season with a 31-24 overall record and in third place in the RMAC regular season standings. The 2023 squad set the program record for runs scored (517) and saw first baseman Matt Marlow become the program's first All-American selection since 2018.
The year prior, LaComb was named the RMAC Coach of the Year in 2022 after leading the Rangers to the program's best regular season finish in the RMAC standings (2nd) since joining the conference in 1997. Regis posted a record of 27-24-1 overall and 20-12 in conference. The team had three players (Justin Kleinsorge, Colten Chase and Roger Riley) all earn All-Conference honors, while Kleinsorge went on to be named Second Team All-Region. Academically, the Rangers had 21 student-athletes earn RMAC academic recognition while the team won the 2021-22 RMAC Brechler Award for the highest team GPA in the conference (3.433).
In the spring of 2021, LaComb and the Regis University baseball team finished the season 21-19 with a 17-17 record inside of the RMAC. The team opened the season winning 10-straight games, which is now cemented as the best start in program history. Regis qualified for the RMAC Tournament where they matched up with three-seed University of Colorado-Colorado Springs. After falling to UCCS, RU's tournament hopes came to an end at the hands of #1 ranked Colorado Mesa University in the second game of the RMAC Tournament (double-elimination). During the regular season, Regis reached as high as sixth in the NCBWA South Central Regional Poll.
LaComb guided the Rangers to an 8-10 record overall during his first season, including a 4-0 record at home on account of a four-game sweep over Northern State from Feb. 28-March 1. Additionally, 11 student-athletes made the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) All-Academic Honor Roll under his watch.
Prior to taking the helm at Regis, he served as an assistant coach for three years at RU. During his first two years, LaComb helped the Rangers secure three All-Conference, one All-Region, and one national Gold Glove selection. He has helped coach nine additional All-Conference players.
Before being an assistant coach, LaComb was a standout player at RU (2014-16), bolstering a career batting average of .361, which ranks 18th all-time in Rangers baseball history. In addition, he was a coach at the Catalyst Baseball Club, located in Golden, Colo., and an instructor at the Las Vegas Baseball Academy in Las Vegas, Nev.
LaComb spent two seasons at Mesa Community College in Mesa, Ariz., before joining Regis. He was named captain of the MCC team that won the NJCAA Division II National title in 2014 with a 52-13 record.
He will be accompanied by his wife Kelsey to Colorado Springs.
