Michael Raymond Kazlausky (born June 27, 1969) is an American college baseball coach, currently serving as head coach of the Air Force Falcons baseball team. He was named to that position on an interim basis prior to the 2011 season, and was made permanent after the season.[1]

Early life and education

[edit | edit source]

After graduating from Grant Community High School in Fox Lake, Illinois, Kazlausky attended the United States Air Force Academy.[2] On the Air Force Falcons baseball team, Kazlausky was a four-year infield starter at shortstop in 1988 and second baseman from 1989 to 1991 under head coach Paul Mainieri.[1][3][4] He was an All-Western Athletic Conference honoree in his junior and senior seasons (1990 and 1991), led the team in batting in 1989 and 1991, and ranks among the top Falcons in many offensive categories. He graduated with eight career records.[1]

Coaching and military career

[edit | edit source]

After serving two years in the United States Air Force, Kazlausky returned to the Academy and served as an assistant coach from 1993 to 1995. Kazlausky then returned to active service at Charleston Air Force Base as a Boeing C-17 Globemaster III pilot. He returned again to the Academy as an instructor in 2000, and served until 2004 as a volunteer assistant baseball coach. After two and a half years deployed abroad, Kazlausky returned again to the Academy and served his third tour as an assistant coach from 2006 to 2008.[1]

He returned again in 2011 to serve as interim head coach, and retired after 20 years of service to become full-time head coach of the Falcons in 2012.[5][6]
