Indiana State and the community of Terre Haute is a very special place for our family. 'Thank you to my coaching staff and to our past and current players for their effort and support over the years. 'I continue to be very thankful to serve as the head coach at Indiana State University,' Hannahs said. His 311 career wins are second all-time in ISU baseball history. The Sycamore head coach has posted at least 30 wins in six seasons and ten or more wins in Missouri Valley Conference play in seven of the last ten years. He is a 1989 graduate of Indiana State, and in 2010, Hannahs was inducted into the university's athletics Hall of Fame. Mitch and Amy care about this community, and we are excited they'll be staying,' Clinkscales said. Mitch is the foundation of the baseball team, and he has done a terrific job building a group that engages not only with our alumni and students, but across the Wabash Valley and beyond. ISU is very fortunate to have a coach of his caliber. 'We are thankful that Mitch has chosen to extend his leadership of our storied program. ISU won every MVC weekend series for the first time in program history. In 2023, the Sycamores won 45 games the most in the Hannahs coaching era and set a new program record for Missouri Valley wins with 24. 'Indiana State is thrilled to continue the momentum from the 2023 season for many years to come.' We are thrilled Mitch is staying, and we look forward to next season and many more after,' said President Curtis. He truly cares about holding his players and our university to a high standard. 'We are so proud of Coach Hannahs and this incredible group of student-athletes on their historic 2023 season. For his efforts, Hannahs was voted as the league's Dan Callahan Coach of the Year by his peers for the first time in his career.

The Sycamores won the 2023 Missouri Valley Conference regular season and tournament championships, hosted their first-ever NCAA regional, won the Terre Haute Regional, and advanced the first NCAA Super Regional in program history. Under Coach Hannah's leadership, Indiana State just recorded one of its most successful seasons in program history. The deal was announced on Tuesday and will run through 2028. Deborah Curtis and Director of Athletics Sherard Clinkscales have announced a contract extension for head baseball coach Mitch Hannahs.
