MARTY LEES- Class of 1988

Marty Lees, Oregon State Asst. baseball coach and 2 time National Champion.

Among other duties, Marty is the Beavers 3rd base coach.

Now in his eighth season as an assistant coach with Oregon State, Marty Lees has made an impact with the Beavers in a number of areas. The Beavers are one of the nation's top defensive teams on a yearly basis, and owe a large portion of that success to Lees' tutelage of infielders and catchers. In 2008, for the third straight season, the Beavers ranked in the top 20 nationally in fielding percentage, posting a .973 mark, which was good for 15th. In Pac-10 only games, the Beavers finished with a .981 fielding percentage, placing them second in the conference. Lees is also the team's recruiting coordinator and has established a level of excellency in just his second year with the title. Lees has an eye for talent and it has shown in his national recruiting rankings. His recruiting class for the 2009 season, when it was announced in November, 2007, was rated third nationally by both Baseball America and Collegiate Baseball. In 2009, Lees will also assume a familiar position on the diamond. He will again serve as the team's third base coach after a year in the dugout. During Oregon State's two national title runs and three straight visits to the College World Series from 2005-2007, pitching and defense were at the forefront. In 2007, en route to its second straight national title, Lees' defense made school history for the third straight year. The Beavers posted a .977 fielding percentage -- second in the Pac-10 and second nationally -- just a year after posting a then-school record mark of .975. In 2005, Oregon State finished the season with a .969 fielding percentage, then a program best. During that time, the Beavers also increased their ability at turing two. In 2005, Oregon State turned 52 double plays. In 2006, that number jumped up to 62, while in 2007, the Beavers turned 69. In 2007, the team ranked 22nd nationally with 1.03 double plays turned per game From 2005 through 2008, seven starting OSU infielders who were eligible to turn professional were either selected in the Major League Baseball draft or signed free agent contracts with MLB teams - first basemen Andy Jenkins and Bill Rowe, second baseman Chris Kunda, shortstop Darwin Barney and third baseman Shea McFeely. Barney was a fourth-round selection by the Chicago Cubs in the 2007 Major League Baseball Draft. The Pac-10 began its Defensive Player of the Year award in 2006, and the initial recipient was Kunda. The shortstop in 2005 and 2006, Darwin Barney, was named the Pac-10 Freshman of the Year in 2005 and was selected to Team USA, the United States national team that plays an international summer schedule, in 2006. Lees became a full-time assistant coach in 2004, having spent the 2002 and 2003 seasons as OSU's volunteer assistant coach. In addition to overseeing OSU's team defense, Lees supervises the Beavers' baserunning and coaches third base. Lees, 39, was on the Beavers' staff while completing his standard teaching certification at OSU. He was also the athletic director and a teacher at Harrisburg High. He coached one of the state's top American Legion programs, the Pepsi Challengers of Eugene. In 2002, the Challengers went 56-13 and Lees was named the Oregon AAA Legion Coach of the Year. Lees became head coach at Harrisburg in 2000, taking a team that was 4-20 the previous season and going 20-6 in his first year. He also coached the Eagle girls basketball team to a league title and into the state tournament for the first time in 16 years. Before going to Harrisburg, Lees was head baseball coach at Oakridge High. Lees played baseball at Western Oregon, once earning two wins in a doubleheader against Oregon Tech. He earned his bachelor's degree in physical education in 1994. Lees also attended Lane Community College, playing baseball and basketball. He graduated from Lakeview High. Lees and his wife, Kristy, have three sons, Brandon (9), Brady (7) and Jacob (3).
