Moses Molina has been named the Field Manager for the Badlands Big Sticks for the 2026 season.

Prior to taking the helm, he served the last three summers in the Texas Collegiate League as an Assistant Coach. During that time, he coached two summers with the Seguin River Monsters and most recently with the Victoria Generals. He has coached in two of the last three Texas Collegiate League championship games.

While with the River Monsters, he helped guide them to their first playoff appearance and TCL championship in franchise history. In addition, he served as an Assistant Coach in the TCL All Star Game in 2024. This past summer, Molina helped the Generals clinch the Texas Division of the TCL for both the first and second half of the season. The Generals also won their first round playoff games, led the league in stolen bases, walks offensively, and tied a TCL record for best starts in league history. Molina’s responsibilities the last three years have included coaching the bases, working with position players offensively and defensively, placing uncommitted players, and most importantly recruiting.

When not in-season, Coach Molina is a Business Teacher at Canyon High School in New Braunfels, Texas. He has over 12 years of successful coaching experience that ranges from the Select/Showcase, High School, and College Summer Ball levels. Those roles have included being a Director, Head Baseball Coach, and Assistant Baseball Coach.

Molina played college baseball at Otero Junior College in Colorado in 2011 and 2012. The team was nationally ranked at various times, and played for a Region 9 Championship during the 2011 season. He is an alumni of Otero Junior College (AA), Sam Houston State University (BBA), and Texas A&M University-Kingsville (MBA).

Andrew Hernandez has been named the Pitching Coach for the Badlands Big Sticks for the 2026 season. Hernandez is currently the Director of Pitching Development at D1, Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi. He is bringing a strong background in player development and pitching excellence. Over the past two seasons, he served as the Pitching Coach at Wharton County Junior College in Texas, where he helped shape one of the top pitching staffs in the region.

In 2024, Hernandez coached First Team All-American, Brian Panneton, a standout on the Wharton roster whose breakout season garnered national recognition. Panneton went on to pitch at the Division 1 level at Tarleton State in Texas. The following year in 2025, Coach Hernandez led a pitching staff that produced the most All-Conference selections in the league and helped the Pioneers reach the regional tournament. That team was led by First Team All-Region Pitcher, Ty Dagley, who now pitches at the D1 level at Lamar in Texas.

As a player, Hernandez also made his mark at Wharton County Junior College earning Second Team Region XIV South honors. His firsthand experience at the junior college level has been key to his success in developing elite-level pitchers.

Now in the Southland Conference with the Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Islanders, Coach Hernandez continues to bring that same commitment and energy to the next generation of arms.
