Dan Hartleb wins record-519th game with Illinois Baseball

Illinois Baseball head coach Dan Hartleb sits alone.

Hartleb earned his 519th career win with the Illini on Sunday against Michigan, 11-1. With the victory Hartleb passes Lee Eilbracht for the most wins in program history.

D1Baseball’s Big Ten Coach of the Decade for the 2010s, Hartleb has been one of the most consistent leaders in the conference since taking over Illinois in 2005. He had previously served as an assistant on the Illini’s staff since 1991 under Itch Jones.

Hartleb’s most memorable season came in 2015, when the Illini won 50 games and made it to Super Regionals.
