Mike Nadeau enters his third year as the head coach of the Raider Baseball program for the 2011-2012 season. Nadeau led the 2010-2011 Raider team to the most successful season in the program's thirty-six year history. The Raiders won their first ever Western Division title, and placed 5th at the NWAACC Championships – the program's highest finish ever at the tournament. The team finished with a league record of 20-4, and 32-9 overall. Both win totals set single season records for the baseball program. Nadeau was named Western Region Coach of the Year, in recognition of the program's success.

Nadeau came to Pierce in 2009-2010, following one year as the head assistant coach at the University of Puget Sound. Prior to that, he had been on the staff at Shoreline Community College for four years. For the past nine years, Nadeau has been the head coach of The Buzz, a very successful summer select program based in Federal Way. Nadeau is also the founder and president of Nadeau Sports Training. A native of Oregon, Nadeau attended George Fox University, earning his Bachelor's degree in History in 1994. Nadeau played at George Fox, under former head coach Pat Casey. In his senior year, Nadeau was named the National NAIA Division II Player of the Year (1994). Following graduation, he was selected as a 17th round draft pick by the Baltimore Orioles, and played for six years in the minor leagues.

"Mike has been a great addition to the Raider coaching staff. He has had a tremendous impact on Raider Baseball, making it one of the most competitive programs in the Pacific Northwest, in just two years," said Duncan Stevenson, Pierce College Athletic Director.

Nadeau lives in Federal Way, with his wife Heather, daughter Ella, and son Keaton.
