Matt Piker is entering his first year at OLLU. He is joining the Saints Baseball coaching staff after four seasons with Mayville State University, where he was the pitching coach. During his time with the Comets, Piker was a member of two separate successful seasons: the 2018 North Star Athletic Association (NSAA) Regular Season Champions and the 2021 NSAA Conference Tournament Championship. Piker coached six NSAA First Team All-Conference award winners during his time at MSU. Mason Swegarden earned honors as the 2018 NSAA Conference Pitcher of the Year and was named an All-American, and Kenny Stewart also was named an All-American during the 2021 campaign. In 2021, the MSU pitching staff finished the season ranked in the Top 15 in the country in ERA and averaged just over eight strikeouts per game.

Before MSU, Piker was a graduate assistant at Arkansas Tech University (ATU) from 2015-2017. While earning his Master of Science in College Student Personnel, he oversaw the outfielders, coached first base and coached the pitching staff. Several of his players won postseason awards under his tutelage there, as well. Piker arrived at ATU from the University of the Ozarks, where he also played and began his coaching career after receiving his Bachelor of Science in Physical and Health Education.

Piker has been a member of the American Baseball Coaches Association for the last seven years. He has been actively involved with collegiate summer ball throughout his career. He was the assistant coach of the Briarcliffe Seagulls in the Beach Collegiate Baseball League in 2015 and the head coach of the Chesterfield Vipers from 2016-2017 in the Mid-Atlantic Collegiate League.

Joining him at OLLU is his wife of four years, Haley Piker.
