It’s not hard to tell exactly how good Vanderbilt University baseball coach Tim Corbin is at his job; he is, quite literally, the best coach in college baseball, and has been for some time. Even though he had future superstars like Jack Leiter and Kumar Rocker in his bullpen this season, and the best recruiting pipeline in the league, Corbin deserves the credit for coaching the Commodores to unbridled excellence. At this point he should probably get a timeshare in Omaha — you can bet his most recent trip to the College World Series won’t be his last. Vandy came up short in the series this year, but Corbin’s coaching over the 2021 season was the best in the region.
