Central Methodist head baseball coach Nate Breland announced former Eagle Kenny Otero as the new team’s new assistant coach.

“I am excited to add Kenny to the staff,” Breland said. “He will bring new ideas and new recruiting lines to our program. It is always exciting when you can bring back a loyal alumnus who was a big part of the best team in program history. ”

Otero  is a 2021 graduate of Central Methodist and was a part of Central’s Avista NAIA World Series team that finished as the national runner-up, the best finish of any team in program history.

Otero played one year professionally in the Double-A League in Puerto Rico. He has also been a volunteer assistant coach for the Eagles, helping players with mechanics and training regimens.

“I am super excited and thankful for the opportunity to coach in such an amazing program,” stated Otero. “The winning culture, fans, support, and passion that CMU has, changes the lives of the athletes and provides them with a home away from home.”
