Golden Eagles Baseball 2 COA C HING STA ff After guiding the Golden Eagles to a successful season as the interim coach in 2008, Vince Beringhele returns for his second season as the Cal State L.A. head baseball coach. Beringhele, who was a successful assistant coach at two Division I programs and was also a former assistant at Cal State L.A., led the Golden Eagles to a 29-22 record in 2008 with a young and inexperienced squad. The Golden Eagles had only five players returning from their 2007 team and had lost 19 seniors. Beringhele led Cal State L.A. to a 23-12 record in the California Collegiate Athletic Association and the Golden Vince Beringhele Eagles just missed qualifying for the four-team championship tournament by one-half game. Head Coach Cal State L.A. finished the season with a rush, winning 11 of its last 13 conference contests. Before coming to Cal State L.A. in 2007, Beringhele spent the past four years at Loyola Marymount as an assistant to head coach Frank Cruz. He was promoted to the associate head coach position prior to the 2006 season. The Lions captured the West Coast Conference title in 2005. During his time at Loyola Marymount, Beringhele coached third base and worked closely with the Lions’ offense. Chris Pettit, one of the players Beringhele worked closely with, was the organizational Player of the Year with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Beringhele joined Loyola Marymount in 2004 after 15 years with UCLA. Serving as the hitting instructor and recruiting coordinator, Beringhele worked with Garrett Atkins, Troy Glaus, Chase Utley, Eric Byrnes, Eric Valent, Ben Francisco, Michael Moore, Chris Pritchett, Joel Wolfe and Paul Ellis, all of whom were drafted in the first five rounds of the Major League Baseball draft. During his time at UCLA, Beringhele was credited with bringing the top high school talent in California to the program. UCLA’s class in 1997 was regarded as the best in the nation by Collegiate Baseball and the 2003 recruiting class earned a top-five ranking from Baseball America. Beringhele helped guide the Bruins to the College World Series in 1997 after they battled back to win five games in a row at the regional to advance to the Series. The Bruins also advanced to a Super Regional in 2000. He began his college coaching career as an assistant coach for two years at Cal State L.A. in 1988-89. He got his introduction to coaching as an assistant for Cruz at University High School before going to Cal State L.A. Beringhele also worked with Cruz in the summer of 2004 during the selection process for the gold-medal winning USA Baseball National Team. Before beginning his college coaching career, Beringhele played in the Los Angeles Dodgers’ minor league system for three years in Lethbridge, Vero Beach and Bakersfield. In 1983, he batted .338 at Lethbridge and tied for the league lead in hits (94) with teammate and former Dodger Jeff Hamilton. In 1984, he batted .256 for the Vero Beach Dodgers and collected 100 walks in 100 games. He completed his playing career in 1985, playing for both Vero Beach and Bakersfield. Beringhele earned his bachelor of arts in sociology from UCLA. He and his wife, Trudy, have one daughter, Betina.

Peraza helped the Golden Eagles to a 23-12 conference record last season that left Cal State L.A. just one-half game out Sam Peraza of a postseason spot. The Golden Assistant Coach Eagles were 29-22 overall. Cal State L.A.’s young staff featured All-West Region and All-CCAA pitcher Isaac Morales and included six freshmen and four other first-year pitchers. He came to Cal State L.A. following a one-year stint at Eastern Oklahoma State College in Oklahoma. At Eastern Oklahoma, his pitching staff produced the Bi-State Conference Pitcher of the Year in 2007. It was the fourth straight year that Peraza’s staff had a conference pitcher of the year, including two All-State pitchers of the year. One of the individuals Peraza coached in 2006, Bobby Laframboise, who went on to the University of New Mexico, was named to the Wallace Watch List. That award is presented to the collegiate player of the year. Prior to Eastern Oklahoma, Peraza spent one season as an assistant coach at Rio Hondo Community College. Under his guidance, his pitching staff produced three players who signed Division I scholarships and one was named the California Co-Pitcher of the Year. His coaching career began at El Camino College, where he had two pitchers named to the All-Conference first team, one to the second team and two others receive honorable mention. Peraza has also coached in the summer in the prestigious Alaska Summer League for the Kenai Peninsula Oilers. In the summer of 2007, his team had the Baseball America top pitching and offensive prospects for the Alaskan League.
