THE OFFICIAL HOME OF THE
MORGAN COUNTY WRANGLERS
Meet your Coaches
The Wranglers are proud to share the coaching staff for our 2026 inaugural season. Our coaches are dedicated to community involvement, fan interaction, and the development of our players on and off the field. A large part of summer collegiate baseball is the development of players to prepare them for the next level, not only between the lines but as they move to new communities and have new opportunities in all areas of life. Our coaches are dedicated to being a part of that puzzle as our guys move ahead in baseball and in life.
Head Coach
TC Fairfield
Coach TC Fairfield, hailing from the Bay Area (San Jose) California, enters his first year as the leader of the Morgan County Wranglers. This season will be his 8th year as a head coach on the summer ball circuit, having most recently coached teams at highly touted leagues in the West Coast and California Collegiate Leagues. TC spoke on knowing how successful this team can be in Fort Morgan. “When I found out about it, and the excitement around everything, I knew this was going to be an awesome place to build something fun,” Fairfield shared, “And I know that with the support of the town and our great partners, the Wranglers will bring an exciting brand of ball to the field that the people can rally behind and be proud of.” He certainly hopes that the formula for winning seasons he has produced in summers along the Pacific Coast will transition well to the Front Range League.
Over his 12 seasons working across all levels of college ball, TC has worked with numerous independent league players, several draft picks, and one current World Series champion. After starting his career as an assistant pitching coach for both San Jose State and Cal State East Bay, he transitioned to a head pitching coach and recruiting coordinator role with Ohlone College in Fremont, California. It was here he helped lead the team to a record 36 wins in a row and a trip to the California state championship game in 2022. He followed that up by helping lead Gavilan College (Gilroy, CA) to an 11-win season in 2024, after the school had won 0 games the 2 seasons prior. He is currently the head assistant coach and teaches Kinesiology courses at Coalinga College in the Central Valley of California.
Assistant Coach
Owen Prendergast
I grew up in Menifee California where I attended Paloma Valley High school and played Baseball. I went on to play in juco for Lane Community College in Eugene Oregon (2020-2022), then transferred to Ohlone college in Fremont California (2023). For my junior and senior year I attended and played at Ottawa University Arizona (OUAZ) where I was awarded a Gold Glove for the third base position.
During my summers of college I had the privilege of traveling and playing summer ball. I’ve gotten to travel and play in San Fransisco, Seattle, and Canada which was an awesome experience. Funny enough I even played for TC back in the summer of 2021 for the South bay Storm and again in 2023 for the Dubsea Fishsticks when he was the skip. Outside of baseball some hobbies I enjoy are fishing, camping, and playing pool.
Chase Taylor will act as the pitching coach for the Morgan County Wranglers. Taylor brings a diverse west coast baseball background having pitched in leagues in California, Oregon, Washington, and Canada. During his collegiate career he has thrown over 100 innings in various roles, working under several former big league pitching coaches along the way (Andy Sisco, Jose Bautista).
His experience and familiarity with the summer ball circuit will be a tremendous asset to the staff. He is currently finishing his playing career at Union Commonwealth University in Kentucky.
