Jeremy Talbot enters his seventh season as an assistant baseball coach at Louisiana and serves as the recruiting coordinator.
During his coaching career, Talbot has coached and developed 76 players that were selected in the MLB first-year player draft, including 12 that have reached the major league level.
This year's signing class features athletes from all over the country, including three four-year transfers from LSU, Texas A&M-CC and Cal State Fullerton. The incoming 2020 signing class also features nine freshman and 10 junior college transfers. In terms of recruiting rankings, Hayden Durke was the highest rated freshman and was labeled as the best recruit in Louisiana by perfectgame.org.
Talbot was instrumental in bringing in the Cajuns first-ever top 25 ranked recruiting class as the 2015 class ranked No. 13 by Collegiate Baseball and No. 15 by D1Baseball. He also helped bring in a top-10 recruiting class in his last season at Texas A&M with a No. 6 ranked class by Baseball America.
In his first season with Louisiana, Talbot helped guide the Ragin’ Cajuns to a Sun Belt Tournament title and an appearance in the NCAA Super Regionals. With the team’s success, infielder Stefan Trosclair earned All-American honors, while Blake Trahan was also recognized as an All-American along with being named the Sun Belt Player of the Year. Trahan was eventually called up to the MLB in 2018.
In that same season, the Cajuns offense led the Sun Belt in slugging, runs, hits, RBI, doubles, home runs, total bases, walks and steals.
The 2015 success was followed up with a Sun Belt Regular Season and Tournament title in 2016, before hosting a NCAA Regional at Russo Park. Most recently, Talbot helped the Cajuns to the 2018 Sun Belt West Division crown.
Prior to joining the staff at Louisiana, Talbot served as Texas A&M's hitting coach and recruiting coordinator from 2005-09. Under his direction, the Aggie bats compiled a .309 average since the start of the 2007 season, averaging over seven runs a game and smashed over 230 home runs.
Talbot helped lead Texas A&M baseball to consecutive Big 12 championships in 2007 and 2008, three trips to the postseason and the first back-to-back NCAA Regional crowns in school history.
A year before taking the Texas A&M job, Talbot coached the 2005 season at Jacksonville State University in Jacksonville, Ala. under head coach Jim Case. He coached the catchers and hitters as well as assisting recruiting and serving as the third base coach.
The Gamecocks won the Ohio Valley Conference Regular-Season Championship, but just missed out on the NCAA Tournament after dropping the championship game in the OVC post-season tourney.
Prior to his stint at JSU, Talbot served as an assistant at ULM, where he was the hitting instructor and third base coach for four seasons. In 2002, the Warhawks belted 61 home runs and had a .462 slugging percentage, which was the third best in school history. 2001 was a record setting season for the Warhawks. ULM collected 659 hits, a school and Southland Conference record.
The team’s batting average of .320 ranked the best in school history and was second in the Southland record books. ULM won the SLC Title in 2002 and finished second in 2001.
A native of Labadieville, La., Talbot spent the 2000 season as an assistant at Northeast Texas Community College in Mt. Pleasant, Texas, where he coached all position players and assisted in recruiting.
Talbot served as the volunteer assistant coach for Dave Van Horn at Nebraska in 1999. Talbot helped the Huskers to a 42-18 finish, the championship of the Big 12 Tournament, and a spot in the NCAA Regionals. Twelve Huskers were eventually drafted that played on the 1999 squad including five players who saw time in the major leagues. During Talbot’s year at Nebraska, the Huskers tied a school record with a .338 team batting average and finished third in the country in runs scored per game.
In 1998, Talbot began his coaching career at Nicholls State under Jim Pizzalato. In the summer of 1998, Talbot coached the Anchorage Glacier Pilots of the Alaskan Summer Collegiate League.
An all-state and three-time All-District performer at Assumption High School, Talbot began his collegiate playing career at Nicholls State where he hit .310 as a freshman. He played one year at Mendocino Junior College (Calif.) where he was All-Conference before transferring to Arkansas, where he started as a designated hitter and catcher, helping the Razorbacks to a Regional appearance and ranked in the polls as high as third nationally. Arkansas’ 18-0 start in 1996 was a school and SEC record.
Talbot has two children, Hutch and Brooke.
