SPENCER GOODWIN

Assistant Coach/ Recruiting Coordinator

Sixth Season at Northwestern State Northwestern State, 2017

A two-year Demons letterman, Spencer Goodwin is in his sixth season on the Northwestern State staff, working primarily with the Demon infielders.

Goodwin also has helmed the Demons’ recruiting efforts for the past two seasons as the staff’s recruiting coordinator.

A two-year letterman for the Demons in 2016 and 2017, Goodwin has worked with the Northwestern State infielders the past three seasons.

Goodwin has helped develop second baseman Daunte Stuart into a twotime All-Southland Conference selection and one of the Southland Conference’s top MLB Draft prospects.

In 2020, his first season following his graduate assistantship, Goodwin helped break in the double-play combination of shortstop Cam Sibley and Stuart, both of whom were in their first seasons of Division I baseball, while working with the Northwestern State infielders.

Stuart earned Freshman All-American honors in 2021, leading the Demons in batting average (.270), home runs (7) and RBIs (30).

Goodwin also helped tutor the Demon hitters and was in charge of NSU’s base running. Under Goodwin’s leadership, Demon position players swiped 15 bases in just 16 games.

Goodwin, Northwestern State’s primary starter at second base for most of his two-year career, led the 2017 Demons in stolen bases (7) while finishing third on the squad in batting average (.278).

In his first season at Northwestern State, Goodwin was a key part of an infield defense that set the school record for double plays in a season (71) while ranking second in the nation in total double plays turned.

Goodwin spent two seasons at Bossier Parish Community College before transferring to Northwestern State where he played in 96 games in two seasons, starting 79 of those contests.

He made an immediate impact, going 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI in his first collegiate start at Southern Miss on Feb. 26, 2016. Two days later, he delivered his first Division I home run.

A two-time member of the Southland Conference Commissioner’s Spring Honor Roll, Goodwin graduated in May 2017 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration. Goodwin earned his master’s degree in health and human performance from NSU in May 2019.
