LSU baseball coach Paul Mainieri has been selected for induction to the American Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame, joining his father Demie and predecessor Skip Bertman.

Mainieri, LSU’s second winningest coach behind Bertman, has led the Tigers to two College World Series appearances, winning the only national title of his career in 2009.

The 55-year-old Mainieri also led Notre Dame to a College World Series appearance in 2002 in one of his nine NCAA tournament appearances in South Bend.

“I have had the privilege of coaching so many tremendous young men, have been aided by many wonderful assistant coaches, had so much help from talented support staff, and always experienced the best of administrative support,” Mainieri said in a news release. “All of the people that have influenced me and contributed to these programs for the past 30 years are a part of this tremendous honor.”

Clemson’s Jack Leggett and Stetson’s Pete Dunn join Mainieri as the only three active coaches inducted in this year’s class – bringing the total to seven active coaches enshrined.

Mainieri and his father, Demie, will become the first father-son duo to be enshrined in the ABCA Hall of Fame.

Demie managed Miami-Dade North Community College and led them to 1,012 wins in his 30-year tenure, while his son has amassed 1,122 in his 30-year tenure.

“When I decided to go into coaching as a young man, it was simply with the purpose of helping young people develop their God-given talents to the fullest, and teaching them how to succeed in baseball and in life,” Mainieri said. “My father taught me this lesson and it has been my guiding light throughout my career.”
