Astros legend Lance Berkman to step down as Houston Christian’s baseball coach after 3 seasons

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Astros legend Lance Berkman announced on Friday that he is stepping down as the head baseball coach at Houston Christian University after three seasons.

Berkman was appointed as HCU’s fifth head coach on May 31, 2021.

“After careful consideration, I have decided to step down as baseball coach at HCU,” Berkman said. “I have truly enjoyed working with the players, coaches, and administrators at HCU. Although I was unable to bring the level of success to the baseball program that I had hoped for, I will always be grateful to HCU for the opportunity.”

During his tenure, Berkman led the Huskies to a combined 47-104 record over three seasons.

HCU will immediately begin the search for a new head coach.
