The 2010 Southern Nevada Coyotes baseball team represented the College of Southern Nevada in the 2010 NJCAA baseball season. This season is most notable for their team leader, seventeen-year-old outfielder (who also got plenty of playing time as a catcher and pitcher) Bryce Harper. Harper got national attention during his only season at CSN, winning the prestigious Golden Spikes Award and becoming only the second player not from a Division I university to win the award (the other being Alex Fernandez in 1990). Behind the hitting of Harper, and the leadership of coach Tim Chambers, the Coyotes had their best season to date, with a record of 52–16, and a playoff finish as semifinalists of the JUCO World Series at Suplizio Field in Grand Junction, Colorado. Following this season, Harper would be the first overall selection in the 2010 MLB Draft. In his MLB Career with the Washington Nationals, Harper has been a multiple time All-Star the 2012 National League Rookie of the year, and the 2015 National League MVP.[1]
