2026 ABCA/Soldier Sports NCAA Div. II Assistant Coach of the Year, Jenzen Torres, enters his 14th season on the Cal Poly Pomona coaching staff and his sixth as Associate Head Coach. He wears a lot of hats for the Broncos, serving as the pitching coach, catching coach, and recruiting coordinator—and the results speak for themselves.

During his time on staff, the Broncos have compiled nearly 400 wins, while Torres has recruited and coached multiple All-Americans and helped develop 18 players who have gone on to play professional baseball, including 15 who were drafted out of Cal Poly Pomona.

And on the pitching side, since 2020, the Broncos have consistently ranked among the top programs in the CCAA in categories including ERA, strikeouts, fewest walks allowed, and WHIP.

But long before he was developing pitchers and building recruiting classes, Torres was one of the most accomplished players in program history. A four-year starter at Cal Poly Pomona from 2009 through 2012, he was a three-time All-West Region selection and remains the program’s all-time home run leader, launching 34 home runs in 199 career games. Torres also ranks second all-time in RBIs and finished his career as a .300 hitter.

After his playing career, Torres spent time in professional baseball before quickly transitioning into coaching—and has since had the opportunity to coach some of the game's top talent, including a championship summer with the Yarmouth-Dennis Red Sox in the Cape Cod League.
