The CarShield Collegiate League, entering their second season, announced the managers and assistant coaches for their four teams in 2021.

“We have assembled a high caliber of coaches for our second season of baseball,” General Manager David Schmoll said. “Each is going to help mentor and teach our players this summer as they progress in their baseball careers. We cannot wait to get on the field later this month and see our teams in action.”

CJ Bilbrey joins the CCL as Head Coach of the T-Ravs in 2021 and will be joined by assistant coach David Estes. The former Harris Stowe State University manager spent six seasons with the Hornets, winning 30 games in 2017 and 2018, only the second and third times in school history the school had won that many games. Estes coached Harris Stowe prior to Bilbrey from 2010 through the 2015 season.

The Shredded Cheese will be coached by Head Coach Jim Foster with Fernando Villegas as Assistant Coach. Foster pitched at St. Louis University for four years before turning to coaching. He served as an assistant coach at Washington University for four years and also for the Gamers team in the Lewis and Clark Collegiate League. The former MiLB coach and scout for the Cardinals is currently the pitching coordinator for Mach 1 Baseball. Villegas joins the CCL after playing collegiately for Iowa Central Community College and Central Methodist University. Villegas played professionally for the Gateway Grizzlies of the Frontier League and also in the Pirates Organization before finishing his pro career in 2019.
