Del Young was the head baseball coach at Owens Community College for two seasons from 2010-12.

During his two years, the program went 44-48, but he sent 12 players to four-year schools, had one NJCAA Academic All-American (Chris Ward), one All-Region XII player (Joe Sickler) and six All-OCCAC players.

In 2011-12, Young led Owens to a 19-35 record overall and sent nine players to four-year schools. Prior to that, he led the team to a 25-13 record overall and a second place finish in the OCCAC. During his first season, the Express started 8-0 down south and were also ranked as high as 13th in the NJCAA Division II poll.

Young entered his first season as head coach for the Owens Express baseball program in the fall of 2010. He previously served as a NCAA Div. I assistant coach for six-plus seasons at Oakland University and Eastern Michigan University.

At Oakland University, Young was recruiting coordinator and in his second season in 2010 helped the Golden Grizzlies to the Summit League tournament. Under his tutelage, catchers threw out 41 percent of would-be base stealers. In 2009, Young's first year in Oakland, the Golden Grizzlies posted a record-high .960 fielding percentage while turning 57 double plays on their way to winning a school-record 22 games and setting 16 team or individual records in all.

Oakland experienced success in the classroom too, as the 2008-09 team achieved a 3.07 grade-point average and received the Community Service Award, presented annually to the team with the highest level of community service.

Young spent the prior four seasons coaching at Eastern Michigan University, starting as a second assistant in 2004 before being promoted to top assistant in the fall of 2006. In 2008, he helped the Eagles earn a NCAA Regional tournament berth after EMU won the Mid-American Conference tournament championship.

The Eagles won back-to-back MAC West Division titles during Young's tenure, with Young mentoring primarily infielders and hitters. Eastern Michigan improved statistically in virtually every offensive category under his leadership, saving the best for his last season when the Eagles raised their batting average 24 points and scored 105 more runs, averaging nearly seven runs per game.

In Young's coaching career, he has coached 10 players that have signed contracts to play professionally, including former MAC Pitcher of the Year Jeff Fischer and CoSIDa Academic All-American Jeff Hehr, who were both drafted in the 2007 MLB Draft.

The Bad Axe, Mich., native was a two-year baseball letter winner for Northwood University after playing his first two seasons collegiately at St. Clair County Community College. He earned a bachelor's of business administration degree in Management from Northwood University in 2004 and a master's degree in Sport Management from Eastern Michigan University in 2006. Young and his wife, Jenni, reside in Belleville, Mich. Young is the nephew of Curt Young, the former Major League Baseball pitcher who is now pitching coach for the Oakland Athletics.
