Head Coach
MATT HUBBS
Matt Hubbs, a native of Eugene, Oregon, brings a deep passion for baseball and player development to his role as Head Baseball Coach at Redmond High School. A 2016 graduate of Willamette High School, he continued his athletic career with the Lane Community College baseball team before serving in the United States Air Force. His passion for the game evolved into a love of coaching, beginning with the Colts at Thurston High School in Springfield, OR.
Hubbs spent five impactful seasons with the Colts (2017–2023), including a pivotal role as JV Head Coach and varsity assistant during Thurston’s 2023 OSAA 5A State Championship run. That same year, he earned his Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies from Bushnell University, with a focus on psychology, criminal justice, and history.
While pursuing his graduate studies, Matt served as a Graduate Assistant Coach under former Drifters and Beacons Head Coach Tommy Richards, earning his Master’s in Sports Management in 2024. He has since continued coaching at the collegiate level as an assistant coach for the Bushnell Beacons, specializing in outfield development and serving as the camp coordinator. In the summers, Matt joined a West Coast League (Springfield Drifters) collegiate wood bat team as an assistant coach in 2024 and returned to the staff in 2025.
Now leading the Panthers, Coach Hubbs is committed to building a program defined by toughness, integrity, and relentless development. With deep Oregon roots and a servant-leader approach, he looks forward to inspiring student-athletes both on and off the field. When he’s not coaching, Matt enjoys exploring the outdoors in Central Oregon with his family and girlfriend, Itzel Valdivia, who is a school counselor in Bend.

A native of Salem and graduate of Sprague High School, Devin played multiple positions—shortstop, second base, third base, center field, pitcher, and catcher—earning All-League honors and MVP recognition in summer tournaments. After high school, he attended Oregon State University, where he continued to build his foundation in leadership and education.

Guided by his favorite motto, “Legends never die,” Coach Rediger inspires his players to compete with heart and integrity.
