Wichita State baseball assistant coach Marty Lees previews the Shocker Fall Series, which starts at 4 p.m., Tuesday (Oct. 28). Lees talks about his coaching journey that started as a high school coach and took off as an assistant at Oregon State, where the Beavers won two NCAA titles.

We discuss what he has learned about how and when to coach hitting with Brian Green at Wichita State. Lees describes coaching the talented Holliday family at Stillwater High School, his long relationship with Shocker shortstop Alex Ulloa and the development of first baseman Nolan Ganter.

Lees comes to WSU after two seasons as coach at Stillwater (Okla.) High School, where he coached Ethan Holliday, who was the No. 4 pick  in July by Colorado. Before that he was an assistant coach at Oklahoma State and also served as head coach at Washington State from 2016-19, where he preceded Green, and an assistant at Oregon State for 11 years and two national titles.

The five-game Shocker Fall Series begins Tuesday and continues on Wednesday (4 p.m.) and Thursday (3 p.m.) before a day off. It wraps up on Saturday (2 p.m.) and Sunday (1 p.m.).
