FRESNO, Calif. – Head coach Linda Garza announced the addition of Todd Bradley to the Fresno State Softball coaching staff on Friday.
Â
An offensive-minded coach, Bradley spent the last four years as the head coach at NCAA Div. I Campbell University in Buies Creek, N.C. and has 18 total years of coaching experience, including 15 years as a head coach.
Â
"This is a great time to be a Bulldog as our team returns talent and experience on the offensive side," Garza said. "Hiring for this position was critical and I'm excited Coach Bradley has joined our program. He brings a wealth of experience to our program, with a specific passion for offense and recruiting. Coach Bradley has led an offense most of his career and his teams have ranked nationally in power and run production. Todd shares my passion for Bulldog Softball and developing Student-Athletes on and off the field. I'm looking forward to working alongside Coach Bradley and see him implement his offensive approach to help our program compete for a Mountain West Championship."Â
Â
Bradley's offensive approach led Campbell to five-year averages of a .289 batting average, .452 slugging percentage, and .368 on-base percentage all while scoring 290 runs per season. His teams had success driving the ball, averaging 55 home runs and 74 doubles per season. In 2018, Campbell led the Big South and ranked 12th in NCAA Div. I averaging 1.20 home runs per game and the Camels also led their conference and were 27th in Div. I with a .469 slugging percentage.
Â
"First of all I want to thank Coach Garza for giving me the opportunity to be a part the rich tradition at Fresno State," Bradley said. "Growing up and starting my coaching career in Oregon, Fresno State has always been a familiar name in and around college athletics so I'm beyond excited to start this next chapter of my life as a member of the Red Wave family and Fresno community. Special thanks goes out to my wife Erica - without her and her support none of this would be possible - and I'm looking forward to having her and my boys in Fresno soon."
Â
Bradley led Campbell to 114 wins in his four seasons as head coach. The Camels finished as the Big South runner up in both 2016 and 2017 and made an appearance in the National Invitational Softball Championship (NISC). His teams earned several high profile wins, including a victory over No. 12 South Carolina with the help of three solo home runs and wins over Virginia and Duke. He mentored a 2017 CoSida Academic All-American, the 2017 Big South Player of the Year, two NFCA All- Regional Selections, and multiple All-Big South selections each year.
Â
Bradley was an assistant coach at Campbell starting in 2012 and was promoted to Associate Head Coach before assuming the head coaching role. Prior to joining the Camels, Bradley was the head coach at Incarnate Word for two seasons and was named conference Coach of the Year twice. He was the head coach at Pfeiffer University for three years, leading the program to its first NCAA Tournament appearance in 2008.
Â
Bradley started the softball program at his alma mater, Western Baptist College (now Corban University) in 2003. He also has experience as an assistant coach at fellow MW school Utah State from 2005-06 (before Utah State joined the MW).
Â
A native of Pendleton, Ore., Bradley began his coaching career at Blue Mountain Community College in his hometown. He started the Timberwolves' softball program and led the team from 1999-2003 before starting the team at Corban.
Â
Bradley earned his bachelor's degree in sports and fitness management from Corban University (formerly Western Baptist College) in Salem, Ore. in 1999. He played baseball for Corban for three years. He married the former Erica Baty in June of 2016 and the couple have two sons, Tyler and Kyle.
