Chad Baum is in his first season as the Titans volunteer assistant coach after serving in a student assistant capacity last season. Baum, who graduated with a degree in kinesiology last spring, was a Titan team captain in 1998 and again in 1999, when Fullerton reached the College World Series. Baum appeared in 38 games over the two-year stretch and hit three home runs in just 44 at-bats. He was also reliable behind the plate, turning in a perfect 1.000 career fielding percentage (70 chances). Prior to his pair of seasons in a Titan uniform, Baum spent a season each at Santa Ana College and Golden West College. Baum batted .306 in 1997 for the Dons, who were ranked No.1 in the country during most of the season. He was selected in the 42nd round of the 1997 draft by the San Francisco Giants. Baum prepped for Coach Mike Najera at Canyon H.S. in Anaheim Hills and earned honorable-mention All-Century League honors. While at Canyon, Baum hit one of nine home runs that set a one-game CIF record for the Comanches. Baum, 23, lives in Anaheim Hills.
