Bailey Oetting enters her third season heading into 2025 with Minnesota and second season as assistant coach.
During her first season as an assistant under Piper Ritter, Oetting helped pave the way for Minnesota's four All-Big Ten selections. With her guidance, Minnesota saw a Big Ten Player of the Year and NFCA All-American in Jess Oakland.
As a volunteer assistant, the Golden Gophers saw two NFCA All-Americans in Taylor Krapf and Autumn Pease, five NFCA Great Lakes All-Region honorees (Taylor Krapf, Autumn Pease, Natalie DenHartog, Jess Oakland, Kayla Chavez), five All-Big Ten selections (Taylor Krapf, Autumn Pease, Natalie DenHartog, Jess Oakland, Kayla Chavez), a third place finish in conference play, a Big Ten Tournament semifinal appearance, and berth in the 2023 NCAA Tournament at the Seattle Regional.
Oetting joined the 'U' staff after spending the 2022 season at Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Mich., as its assistant coach, helping the Chargers to a 31-20 record.
After graduating from Arizona State in 2018 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics, Oetting began her coaching career as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator with Arizona Christian University in Phoenix. She spent the 2019 season as the head coach at Sauk Valley Community College in Dixon, Ill., before two years as a graduate assistant at Southern Arkansas. Oetting guided the Muleriders to a No. 1 ranking in NCAA Division II during the 2020 season before a 29-10 record and NCAA Central Region Tournament appearance in 2021.
As a player, Oetting made 11 appearances behind the plate on the 2017 Arizona State team playing for then Sun Devils. The team went on to win 31 games and reached the NCAA Oxford Regional. Prior to her time at ASU, she played at Muscatine Community College in Iowa, serving as the team's primary catcher and tallied a .286 batting average with six doubles, a home run and 16 RBI in 33 games.
