Youngjin Yoon enters his first season as an assistant coach to the CSUN Baseball team.
Â
Yoon brings to the Matadors coaching experience at the collegiate Division I, NAIA and junior college ranks as well as the professional level in his extensive career. Known affectionately as "Master Yoon" in the baseball community, Yoon's hybrid pitching philosophy merges the American power pitching culture with the precision and detail-oriented style of Southeast Asian baseball. He specializes in strength, conditioning, mental awareness, cognitive preparation, dietary habits and skill-set development.
Yoon completed multiple stints at Riverside City College under the tutelage of ABCA Hall of Fame coach Dennis Rogers. He served as the team's pitching coach over his time with RCC where he helped the program reach regional and super regional rounds twice from 2012-15. The team produced the second-best ERA in the state of California with a 2.08 clip in 2013. Yoon would also help develop and produce 10 total Major League Baseball draft picks and free-agent signings, highlighted by five pitchers selected in the 2013 MLB Draft.
He served as an assistant coach with Linn-Benton Community College in Albany, Ore. beginning in 2018. There he helped guide the program's pitching staff post an overall 1.76 earned run average including a stellar 1.35 ERA in conference play.
In addition, Yoon worked on the coaching staff at Cal State Bakersfield during the 2019 season. He would take on the role of pitching coach as well at Bushnell University in Eugene, Ore. for the program's inaugural season in 2022.
Yoon has also spent seven seasons working as an assistant coach and first base coach for the Corvallis Knights, a summer baseball collegiate league. Over his time in Corvallis, Yoon helped the team capture the West Coast League championship seven consecutive seasons since his arrival in 2016.
Â
A native of Busan, South Korea, Yoon coached professionally with the Lotte Giants of the Korean Baseball Organization, the nation's equivalent of Major League Baseball.
Yoon earned his degree in Exercise Physiology and Sports Psychology from Dong-Ju University and a master's degree in similar disciplines from Shin-Ra University. In addition, he has served as a research scholar in Kinesiology at Michigan State University.
