Mark P. Wasikowski (born March 24, 1971) is an American college baseball coach, currently serving as head coach of the Oregon Ducks baseball team.[1]

Wasikowski was a third baseman at Hawaii, Rancho Santiago and Pepperdine and was on the team that won the 1992 College World Series. He later earned All-West Coast Conference honors twice and was a team captain as a senior in 1993. Following the 1993 season, Wasikowski was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers,[2] but he opted to stay at Pepperdine to complete his bachelor's degree. Beginning in 1997, Wasikowski was a graduate assistant at Southeast Missouri State University. Upon completion of the 1998 season, Wasikowski was named an assistant at Florida, where he was reunited with his former coach, Andy Lopez. Wasikowski would go with Lopez to Arizona, where he spent 10 season with the Wildcats. In 2012, Wasikowski was hired to be an assistant at Oregon.

On July 24, 2016, Wasikowski earned his first head coaching job at Purdue.[3] On February 17, 2017, Wasikowski won his first ever game as a college coach.[4]
