LANSING, MI — The Michigan Baseball Hall of Fame has announced its Class of 2025, and it includes former DeWitt High School and Lansing Community College baseball coach Frank Deak. He’ll be inducted at Jackson Field in downtown Lansing on Friday, August 15, prior to the Lansing Lugnuts’ 7:05 p.m. game with the Dayton Dragons.
Deak posted a remarkable .782 winning percentage as the head coach at DeWitt High School from 1968-1969 and 1980-1999, winning 567 games, including 16 League Championships, 13 District Championships, five Regional Championships, four trips to the Final Four, and the 1983 and 1993 State Championships. During that historic 1993 season, DeWitt won 33 consecutive games on their way to a 38-3 record.
Following his retirement from DeWitt, Deak built the Lansing Community College baseball program, where he coached for five seasons. He is a member of the Michigan High School Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame.
Jim Kaat, Dave Bergman and Terry Bocian were also named to the 2025 HoF class.
