Jeremy Thomas has been an assistant coach at Dixie State College since 2006. He works his baseball coaching schedule around his full-time job as a software product manager for Steton Technology Group.
Originally from Beaver, Utah, Thomas played at Snow College and Brigham Young University. While in college Thomas was an honorable mention All American and Academic All American. He was a two-time All Scenic West Athletic Conference pitcher and was BYU Scholar Athlete of the Year and two-time Academic All Western Athletic Conference member. He pitched in the Houston Astros organization and for the Zion Pioneerzz of the Western Baseball League.
In addition to his coaching duties at DSC, Thomas has worked as a pitching coach at Southern Utah Baseball Academy and Performance Baseball Academy.
He and his wife Marcy are the parents of three children: Janey (7), AJ (2) and baby Griffin.
“Even though I didn’t attend Dixie, my grandparents were both professors at Dixie so I have always had a love for Dixie and what it means to Southern Utah,” Thomas said.
“While playing in the Scenic West and Western Baseball League, I developed a love for the St. George area and decided to make it home. While playing for the Pioneerzz, I started working for a small software company called Steton Technology Group during the off-seasons.
“Steton is owned and headed by Steve Caplin, currently a member of the Dixie State Board of Trustees,” Thomas said. “After seven years at the company, I was asked to join the Dixie State baseball coaching staff by Coach Mike Littlewood. Steve and the other associates at Steton were very supportive at the time and continue to be supportive today.
“My wife and kids are extremely supportive,” Thomas said. “Coaching at Dixie gives my kids a chance to be around a great institution with great student-athletes in a great community.”
