Anderson Baseball Tabs Screeton as Hitting-Infield Coach/Recruiting Coordinator

The Anderson University baseball program and head coach Mathew Bair have tabbed Cameron Screeton as the hitting-infield coach/recruiting coordinator on Tuesday.

"We are fortunate and blessed to have Coach Cameron Screeton join our staff," Mathew Bair said. "His enthusiasm is infectious and he is a true student of the game. Coach Screeton brings seasoned collegiate experience to the AU staff; his players and teams have been able to reach their ceilings in both player development and team success."

Screeton has spent the last three years as the hitting and infield coach at MidAmerica Nazarene University. Following Screeton's first year in which the postseason was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Pioneers proceeded to qualify for the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) National Tournament in each of the next two years. This included an appearance in the NAIA World Series for MidAmerican Nazarene. During Screeton's three years, the Pioneers posted an overall record of 95-40.

In 2021, MidAmerica Nazarene ranked in the top 10 in NAIA in several offensive categories including batting average, doubles per game, slugging percentage, hits per game, runs scored per game and RBI's per game. Screeton also contributed in putting together scouting reports for the Pioneers. In two years, the Pioneers totaled 15 all-Heart of America Athletic Conference selections on offense, including seven first-team all-conference selections. Screeton helped mentor NAIA first-team all-American Joshuan Sandoval and NAIA second-team all-American Daunte Freeman.

Prior to arriving at MidAmerica Nazarene, Screeton served as the Grace College head coach for two years. Screeton oversaw all baseball operations during his time at Grace. The Lancers tallied six All-Crossroads League selections during Screeton's tenure.

Screeton competed in baseball as a shortstop at Indiana Wesleyan University and started in 125 games in three years.

"I am extremely excited to join the Anderson University baseball program," Cameron Screeton said. "I've been blessed over the last couple of years to have some great experiences in my coaching career and it opened the door for this great opportunity at Anderson. I am excited to get to work with the student-athletes, assistant coaches and Coach Bair to help give continued success to an already very storied and successful program."

Screeton graduated from Indiana Wesleyan in 2015 with a Bachelor of Science in Sports Management. He then earned his Master of Science in Management from MidAmerica Nazarene in 2020.
