Rob Henry Position: Assistant Coach Experience: Third Season

Rob Henry enters his fourth season working with the Cleveland State baseball program and his 11th year as head coach Kevin Kocks' go-to-man.

Having worked with Kocks in previous years, Henry knows very well what he expects from his players both on and off the field.

On the field, Henry works with the Viking infield and assists with the hitters, while he is also responsible for coordinating the team's daily operations off of the field.

Henry came to CSU after spending six seasons working with head coach Kevin Kocks at Spalding University, where he was the top assistant coach.

While there, Henry coordinated scouting reports and fundraising efforts. He was part of a staff that helped lead the Pelicans to an overall record of 282-132, posting four straight 50-win seasons from 2002-05.

Henry, who joined the Spalding baseball staff in just the school's second baseball season, helped lead the squad to the NAIA World Series three times (2002, 2003 and 2005).

"Rob has always been my right-hand guy," Kocks said. "We have been working together for a long time and he is a great young baseball coach."

Before joining Kocks at Spalding, Henry was the top assistant at Kentucky Wesleyan College in Owensboro, Ky. from 1996-2001.

While at Wesleyan, he coordinated the team's infield and team defense, while also directing the team's strength and conditioning program. He also directed the school's youth baseball camps and ran the team's website.

Henry graduated from Kentucky Wesleyan in 1994 with a bachelor's degree in history and secondary education. He earned a master's degree from Western Kentucky in United States history in 2004.

Henry and his wife, Lisa, have a son, Joshua. They reside in Shaker Heights, Ohio.
