A native of Jennings Louisiana, Michael Trahan was a four sport letter winner in high school and led his Bulldog football team to the AAA State Championship in 1992. After excelling on the baseball diamond in Junior College and on the Division I level, he managed to play in excess of four seasons on the professional level. Following his professional career, Mike began a Division I coaching career that spanned over a decade and three of Louisiana’s proudest baseball communities. Once he cut his college baseball teeth in the second assistant position, he commanded the recruiting coordinator post at McNeese State for two years, University of Louisiana Monroe for two, and finally at Louisiana Lafayette for three plus seasons. Having many nationally recognized recruits, several All-Americans, and one Team USA participant are just of few of the highlights of his coaching career….not to mention conference championships and regional appearances at all of his coaching stops.
As a standout player, then coach/ recruiter, Mike has seen his share of high school, American legion, and showcase baseball. He has played, coached, or scouted in roughly two-thirds of the 50 states and it’s fair to say that he knows what it takes to put together and manage a top quality event. He will bring his knowledge of recruiting, his extensive colligate contact network, and event direction in terms of what college coaches really want to see, what they expect to see, and what keeps them returning to events year after year.
“After attending one of Ross’s events in the summer of 2014, and having an understanding of what this arena is in dire need of, I jumped at the chance to be a part of 2D Sports. Ross, Ramsey, and Brandon bring an entirely different view to the showcase baseball tournament scene. They have a dedicated interest in putting together a top-flight event for all involved parties. I take tremendous pride in being named a regional director with this organization and look forward to many outstanding events in the future.”-
