Shemar Page begins his second season as an assistant coach with Jones College where he works primarily with hitters/infielders and also assists with pitchers.
Page is fresh off a successful career as a utility player and is a former Collegiate Baseball and D1 Baseball All-American.
The Raleigh native spent the 2023 season as a volunteer assistant at his alma mater Pearl River, where he previously led the Wildcats to a conference championship as a freshman and the 2019 NJCAA Division II World Series as a sophomore.
Page was 17-3 on the mound in 28 appearances with a 2.75 ERA and 166 strikeouts and helped PRCC to a combined 79 wins in two seasons. He was also a .310 career hitter with 19 doubles, eight home runs and 46 RBIs. He was selected to play for the 2018 NJCAA National Baseball Team in the 84th annual National Baseball Congress (NBC) World Series.
He'd go on to play two seasons at Louisiana Tech as a pitcher/infielder before closing out his career as a graduate student at Grambling State.
Page was named the 2022 Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) Pitcher of the Year after finishing the season 8-5 with five complete games, a 2.60 ERA and was No. 2 in the nation with 143 strikeouts.
