Assistant coach - Brent Johnson

Brent Johnson joined the Saints in 2013 and has been a great addition to upholding the winning tradition at MHCC. As the infield coach, Johnson helps keep the Saints' defense strong, always striving to capture yet another Southern Region championship.

Johnson played at Dayton High School in Nevada, where he was a four-year letterman and all-league infielder. Coach Johnson played at Feather River Community College (1999-2000). Right after his time at Feather River Community College, he began his coaching career, starting as a private instructor with youth and high school players in Reno, Nevada, as part of Brent's Baseball Academy. From 2004 to 2012, Johnson coached a select team, the Reno Muckdogs, where, in 2008, his team won a bronze medal at the US Amateur Athletic Union Junior Olympics. Many of Coach Johnson's former players and students have gone on to play at various levels of college and professional baseball around the country.
