Jordon Twohig, who was recently named an assistant coach for the Washington baseball team, was named the American Baseball Coaches Association National Coach of the Year in the Pacific Association Region. In May of 2010, Twohig wrapped up his second season as the head coach at Ohlone by winning the California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA) crown with a 16-10 win over the College of San Mateo College in the title game. The win was the first state championship at Ohlone in any team sport. Twohig's 2010 team went 37-10 overall and were 20-5 in the Coast Conference. The Renegades finished the year ranked No. 3 in the nation according to Perfect Game USA's junior college poll. The 2010 Ohlone squad boasted eight all-conference players, including two all-American selections, the state's pitcher of the year and three players who were selected in the Major League Draft. The Renegades hit .314 as a team, were No. 2 in the state in home runs and finished in the top 10 in the state in every major offensive category. The ABCA honors coaches each year in each division.
