ARLINGTON, TEXAS – UT Arlington head baseball coach Mike Trapasso has added Heath Holliday to his staff as an assistant coach.
 
Holliday, who recently served as an assistant coach at Austin Peay, brings a wealth of experience to the Mavericks following stops within the Major League Baseball and the Division 1 level.
 
At Austin Peay, Holliday was elevated to an assistant coach role ahead of the 2024 season and coached the Governors' catchers and served as the teams recruiting coordinator.
 
Holiday, a Bixby, Oklahoma native, came to Clarksville after four seasons as an area scouting supervisor with the Los Angeles Dodgers organization (2017-21). He was responsible for the Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas region and aided the Dodgers organization in the evaluation of prospects and assigning draft value while also determining the prospect's potential for success.
 
Prior to his time within the Dodgers organization, Holliday was the Director of Operations at Oklahoma State for two seasons (2015-17). He coordinated and planned the Cowboys' on-campus recruiting strategy, organized and led donor functions, and planned advanced scouting reports to assist the head coach with in-game strategy. In that role, he helped OSU reach the 2016 NCAA College World Series and claim the 2017 Big 12 Championship with 17 OSU players ultimately drafted from his time in Stillwater.
 
Holliday's baseball career began as the video coordinator at Auburn during the 2015 season. He implemented video analysis for player development and aided in both on-campus and off-campus recruiting while with the Tigers.
 
A 2014 graduate of Oklahoma State, Holliday was a member of the Cowboys baseball program for two seasons as a catcher. He spent one season at Cumberland and began his collegiate career at Connors State College in Oklahoma. He was drafted in the 45th round of the 2009 MLB Draft by the Colorado Rockies prior to attending Connors State.
