This week on the ABCA Podcast, we’re joined by Brad Neffendorf, head coach of LSU Shreveport, who just led his program to a historic and unprecedented season. Under Neffendorf’s leadership, the Pilots went a perfect 59-0, capturing the first national title in school history.

It marked the third NAIA World Series appearance for Shreveport during Neffendorf’s tenure and the fourth consecutive Red River Athletic Conference regular season title. As expected, the accolades followed: Neffendorf was named ABCA/ATEC NAIA National Coach of the Year, the College Baseball Foundation (Skip Bertman Award), Perfect Game, and NAIA Ball.

In this episode, Neffendorf breaks down the culture, preparation, and mindset behind the perfect run, and how he’s built a consistent NAIA powerhouse since taking over in 2019.

Also be sure to check out the July/August issue of Inside Pitch Magazine (mailing soon!)—Coach Neffendorf is on the cover with an even more in-depth interview on this once-in-a-lifetime season!
