Caleb Rodriguez was officially named an assistant coach for Concordia University Texas on December 13, 2022. Rodriguez is a native from Round Rock, Texas who played first and third base for the Tornados.
In his
playing career, he racked up 79 hits, 68 runs, 55 RBIs, 68 walks and four home runs with a .252 batting average and an OBP of .401. He also made two appearances in the NCAA Regionals in 2017 and 2018. He was acknowledged for his impressive performance on and off the field with an ASC Gold Bracket All-Tournament Team selection in 2018 and 3-time ASC Academic All-Conference nominations as a student-athlete.
Upon graduation, Rodriguez remained with CTX as a graduate assistant where the Tornados won the ASC Tournament title in 2019. In that same season, Concordia Texas reached the NCAA regionals for the third consecutive year and also made history when they reached the first ever Division III Super Regionals in 2019.
In just his second year with the Tornados as an assistant coach, Rodriguez and Concordia received an automatic bid to the 2024 NCAA Regionals as they won the American Southwest Conference Championship Tournament.
Reflecting on his position, Rodriguez said, "I would like to thank Coach Mokry for this opportunity to be the next assistant coach of the Concordia Texas Baseball Program. I have been truly fortunate to be part of the Program for the last eight years—four as a player and the last four as part of the coaching staff. I have learned many lessons and experienced situations that have molded me into who I am today. I would also like to thank
Coach (Tommy) Boggs for laying the foundation and never letting us forget who laid that same foundation for him. Coach Boggs has impacted a countless number of lives on and off the baseball field and I was fortunate enough to be one of those both as a player and a coach. We look forward to showing up every day and giving everything we have to this game, this community, and our players." Rodriguez added, "I would like to thank our Director of Athletics, Ronda Seagraves for being a great leader and supporter of not only the baseball program, but all of our sports here on campus. We cannot wait to get out there with our players and compete for a championship."
