Tom Spencer – Head Coach

Spencer is set to begin his 23rd season leading BW softball in 2027, marking his 28th year in coaching overall. He first served as Baldwin Wallace's head softball coach from 2000 to 2002 and returned to the role in 2007–08.

His 2025 squad set the school's single-season wins record at 36, captured the university's first OAC Regular Season Championship, hosted the conference tournament, and earned a berth in the NCAA Division III Tournament. Spencer and his staff have been named OAC Coaching Staff of the Year five times (2011, 2023 as a co-honor, 2024, 2025), and he took home the individual OAC Coach of the Year award in 2001.
