Dave Taylor, an assistant baseball coach at Oxnard College, was named Friday as head coach at the school, according to Ruth Hemming, Oxnard’s vice president of student services. Taylor replaces Lindsay Meggs, who recently resigned to take the head coaching position at Long Beach City.
Taylor and Meggs spent a season together as assistants at Cal Lutheran, and Taylor accompanied Meggs to Oxnard. Meggs spent one season at Oxnard.
Taylor, an All-Ventura County shortstop at Rio Mesa High, played third base and catcher at Oxnard. He also played catcher on Arizona’s 1986 national championship team and was a two-year letterman for the Wildcats.
After his Arizona career, he spent three seasons in the minor leagues.
Taylor also will work as a student teacher this fall at Channel Islands High while he completes the requirements of his teaching credential.
