Ted Bergquist will be calling Wilson home again this summer but in a different role. 2025 will be his first season as the Tobs head coach. This will add another notch to his belt for a man whose career in baseball spans back to 1989.

Bergquist was a left-handed hurler during his days on the field, but took to coaching following his playing career. After 8 years in the coaching field, Bergquist hung up the whistle for a chest protector and became an umpire. From 1997-2018, Bergquist was an umpire for leagues ranging from D-II collegiate to MILB. In 2020, Bergquist made his return to coaching for Fort Lupton HS in Colorado and then moved on to another Colorado HS at Fossil Ridge in 2022. In 2024, Bergquist accepted the position of pitching coach at Rend Lake College in Illinois where he remains today.

Bergquist had this to say about Wilson & the Tobs, “I am beyond excited to be coming back to Wilson for the summer of 2025. I have had many summer ball experiences in my time, but Wilson in 2024 was by far my most enjoyable. Lots of history at Historic Fleming Stadium, great staff, great community, great team culture, and hopefully this season, lots of wins.”
