There are California Warriors alumni playing at colleges and in professional organizations all around the country, but in addition to those student athletes still playing ball, there are a number of California Warriors alumni and coaches who are working in baseball as coaches and in front offices around the country.
First Base Foundation-California Warriors Founder, Noah Jackson, is an Assistant Coach at UC Berkeley, where the Golden Bears have put together a 14-11 record so far and most recently swept Long Beach State in three commanding wins.

The Dons are 15-11 on the season and are coming off a weekend sweep of the Santa Clara Broncos, where former California Warriors coach Greg Gonzalez is in his second years as an assistant coach. Stefen Henderson, who succeeded Burke as the current California Warriors Director of Baseball Operations, is an Assistant Coach at College of Marin, where a number of California Warriors alumni are on the roster. The Mariners got to play their first game on the new College of Marin baseball field over the weekend and did so in style, beating Contra Costa by a margin of 22-4.
