Roger Coe played baseball for The University of Toledo from 1970-74. During his career he was selected first-team All-MAC in 1972 and 1974. He also played on the championship USA World Federation Team in 1973 that brought a gold medal home from Managua, Nicaragua. In 1974, Coe was selected to the Sporting News All-America first-team roster. Coe ranks 2nd in career innings pitched (288.6), 1st in career strikeouts (298) and 1st in career ERA (2.34). He also ranks 1st in season ERA (1.39). After Coe completed his baseball career at UT, he was the first choice in the third round of the major league draft by the San Diego Padres. He played four years of professional baseball, working his way into the major league 40-man roster. However, his career was cut short after a shoulder injury. "Thanks to coach Stan Sanders and The University of Toledo I was able to obtain great education, both scholastically and socially," says Coe. With my roots now firmly set in the Toledo area, I can look back at my college years and say that UT was where I realized life's dreams do come true if you dedicate yourself and work hard to achieve them."
