He has helped coach 18 players selected in the MLB Draft, including three—Jacob Hanneman, Jaycob Brugman and Michael Rucker—who have recently spent time in the majors.
Under his guidance BYU has landed some of the top recruiting classes in program history, including the 2019 class ranked 25th in the country by Baseball America and 16th by D1 Baseball, the highest ranking in program history.
Since joining the program in the summer of 2012, Haring has helped BYU claim West Coast Conference regular season championships in 2016, 2017 and 2019. BYU advanced to the NCAA Tournament after the Cougars also won the WCC Tournament in 2017.
