    Coach, Baseball
Very few names are as well-associated with the success of baseball at William Woods as Coach Munns. During his ten years at the helm, the Owls compiled a 333-188 overall record, including two AMC Tournament championships (2011, 2014) and four NAIA World Series appearances (2007, 2011, 2014, 2015). Munns developed five AMC Player/Pitcher of the Year honorees and an NAIA First Team All-American during his tenure, and saw seven players continue to the next level, highlighted by Nick Wooley's selection in the MLB draft by the Kansas City Royals.
 
Earning a unanimous selection to the 2023 class, Munns was also responsible for developing 41 first team All-AMC honorees, as well as a total of ten CoSIDA (now College Sports Communicators) Academic All-Americans (six First Team, three Second Team, one Third Team) and two current William Woods University Athletics Hall of Fame honorees. L.J. Watson was inducted in the class of 2018, and Jacob Harrison was selected in the 2019 class.
