UNLV baseball head coach Stan Stolte signed a four-year contract extension, the school announced on Wednesday.
Stolte was the 2022 Mountain West Coach of the year award after leading the Hustin’ Rebels to a 36-22 overall record and 21-9 Mountain West Conference record.
In the 2022 campaign, the Hustlin’ Rebels led the country in total hits, doubles and batting average. The Rebel offense scored double-digit runs in 24 games last season.
