Assistant Goodwin, Support Staff

A two-year Demons letterman, Spencer Goodwin was promoted to the volunteer assistant coaching position in June after competing his master’s degree at Northwestern State.

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). He will primarily instruct the NSU infielders and will assist Taylor Dugas with the Demons hitters. Goodwin also will play a pivotal role in directing the Bobby Barbier Baseball Camps at Northwestern State.

“Spencer has been a tremendous worker ever since he stepped on campus, and I know he will do the same in his new role,” head coach Bobby Barbier said.

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.

He earned his master’s degree in health and human performance from NSU in May 2019.
