Former Baylor letterman Trevor Mote is in his fourth season on the Baylor coaching staff. He spent three seasons as the Bears' volunteer assistant coach and was promoted to assistant coach in February 2012. Mote assists with all phases of defensive instruction, works with Baylor's hitters and outfielders and assists head coach Steve Smith with the pitching staff.

Mote returned to Baylor in 2009 after a three-year stint as assistant coach at Yavapai College in Arizona, which followed a three-season professional career.

The Bears have advanced to NCAA Regional play in all three of Mote's seasons as assistant coach. Baylor finished third in the 2009 Baton Rouge Regional and advanced to the championship rounds of the 2010 Fort Worth Regional and the 2011 Houston Regional.

A native of Kingman, Ariz., Mote played at Baylor during the 2001 season. He began his collegiate career at Yavapai College, where he twice led the Roughriders to ACCAC conference championships and was named a Junior College All-American in 1999. Mote spent his junior season at the University of Arizona before transferring to Baylor for his senior campaign.

In his one season with the Bears, Mote started all 61 games at second base and earned honorable mention All-Big 12 Conference honors. He hit .313 with five home runs, 34 RBI, 19 doubles, 68 runs scored and six stolen bases. A switch hitter, Mote established a Baylor record for hits in an NCAA Regional when he was 10-for-19 with a double, a home run and four RBI in the Bears' four games at the NCAA Houston Regional. He earned all-tournament honors for his performance.

Mote was a 15th-round selection of the Houston Astros in the 2001 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. He spent three seasons in the Astros' organization, reaching Advanced A classification with the Salem Avalanche of the Carolina League in 2003. Mote, who primarily played third base at the professional level, was a Midwest League all-star selection in 2002 while with the Class A Michigan Battle Cats. That season, he hit .277 with nine home runs, 70 RBI, 25 doubles and seven stolen bases. In three professional seasons, Mote hit .256 with 12 homers, 133 RBI, 53 doubles and 22 stolen bases.

Following his time as a player in professional baseball, Mote returned to Baylor to complete his Bachelor of Science degree before returning to Yavapai College as a coach for the 2005 season. In three seasons with Mote on the coaching staff, Yavapai was 134-51-1 with two ACCAC conference titles and an NJCAA national runner-up finish in 2006.

Mote, 32, is married to the former April Luce from Lake Jackson, Texas. April was a four-year letterwinner for Baylor's softball program. She is the cousin of former Baylor baseball letterwinner Brandon Luce and the niece of former Baylor football standout Derrel Luce. The couple has a three-year-old daughter, Maci Louise.
