Eddie Cornejo completed his second season as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator to the CSUN Baseball team in 2020-21.

The Matadors got off to their best start in 27 seasons in Cornejo's first year with the program as CSUN started 7-0. In the shortened-season, the Matadors finished 10-5 with the second-best record in the Big West.

A nationally-recognized recruiter, Cornejo spent one season as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at San Jose State in 2019 before joining the Matadors.

Prior to San Jose State, Cornejo served as the recruiting coordinator at UC Santa Barbara from 2012-17 where he helped recruit five nationally-ranked classes including the 2016 class which ranked No. 9 in the nation by Collegiate Baseball. D1Baseball.com recognized Cornejo as the Top Recruiter in the Big West Conference in 2016.

Cornejo helped coach the Gauchos to the 2013 and 2015 NCAA Regionals and team's first-ever berth in the College World Series in 2016.

With Cornejo on the bench, the Gauchos broke their school record of wins against Division I opponents (40) and hosted their first-ever regional during the 2015 campaign. A year later, he helped UCSB break its Division I win record again with 43 victories as the Gauchos marched deep into the postseason. During the team's magical 2016 season, the Gauchos won the Nashville Regional before stunning Louisville with a two-game sweep in the Super Regional round.

He recruited and developed 39 Major League Baseball draft picks while with the Gauchos. The team set a new program record with 10 selections in 2015, which ranked second-best in the nation.

He went on to play two seasons at the University of Oklahoma, earning All-Midwest Region and All-Big 12 Conference honors as a second baseman in 2003.

Cornejo was selected in the 13th round of the 2003 MLB First-Year Player Draft by the Oakland Athletics. He went on to play six professional seasons in the Oakland and Colorado Rockies organizations, eventually advancing to the Triple-A ranks in 2008.
