The Cardinal has qualified for the NCAA Tournament 20 times in the its first 26 seasons under Marquess. Marquess began the 2003 season ranked 10th in victories and 16th in winning percentage among active Division I baseball coaches. Marquess has compiled his entire career record of (.672) at Stanford, needing just five more victories to reach 1100 and six to move into the top 20 on the all-time victory list. He began the season ranked 21st in all-time victories and 45th on the winning percentage list. Marquess became the 23rd coach in the history of NCAA Division I baseball to reach the 1000-win mark with a 6-2 victory over Florida State in a game played on February 9, He has been named NCAA Coach of the Year three times (1985, 87, 88) and has received Pac-10 or Pac-10 Southern Division Coach of the Year honors on eight occasions (1983, 85, 87, 90, 94, 97, 98, 99). The Cardinal has posted winning seasons in 25 times of the first 26 season under his leadership and has finished either first or second in the prestigious Pacific-10 (formerly Pac-10 Southern Division) 20 times in the last 22 years. Stanford has had 104 professional baseball draft picks in the past 18 seasons, including 13 first round selections in the last 16 years. A member of the American Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame, Marquess was the head coach of the 1988 United States Olympic baseball team that captured the gold medal. Marquess was also an accomplished football and baseball standout on The Farm and is a member of the Stanford Athletic Hall of Fame. He is one of only six collegiate baseball head coaches to have both played and coached in the College World Series. Marquess was the starting first baseman and a First Team All-American on Stanford s 1967 College World Series squad and played four seasons of minor league baseball with the Chicago White Sox organization. COMMENTS FROM MARK MARQUESS (On Cal State Fullerton) I m expecting to face one of the top five teams in the country. They might have the best pitching staff in college baseball this year. Wes Littleton is one of the premier aces in the nation and Chad Cordero is one of the top relievers. They also return a lot of position players from last year and have some talented young freshmen players. They will be one of the better teams we play all season, if not the best. (On the Stanford-Cal State Fullerton rivalry) It s a very good and friendly rivalry. We have a great deal of respect for each others programs. They re always tough and have great baseball tradition. They are used to winning and this year they are even much more talented and experienced than they have been in the last two or three years. (On the recent Santa Clara series) Both teams played excellent defensively and pitched well in both games of the series. I was very impressed with the way we hit in the first game as well. (On the near no-hitter versus Santa Clara) Obviously, we would have liked to have picked up the no-hitter, but I think it would have been more meaningful if it was just one pitcher. It was a bit disappointing to have come that close, but the main thing was to win the game and get the shutout. STANFORD COACHING STAFF Dean Stotz begins his 27th campaign with Stanford Baseball and his fourth season as associate head coach after he was promoted to the position prior to the 2000 campaign.
