Jaiden Warde joined the Young Harris Baseball staff last season, as he arrived to the Enchanted Valley in the Fall of 2024.
In the 2025 season, Warde and the Mountain Lions finished with an astounding 40-17 record, making noise in the conference and region all-year until ultimately falling in the NCAA Southeast Regional. In March, Young Harris impressively took a series from North Grenville and swept Mount Olive, two nationally-ranked opponents at the time. The squad was crowned regular season Conference Carolinas Co-Champions and made it all the way to the Conference Carolinas Championship, eventually dropping to Belmont Abbey in the winner-takes-all game. Warde helped lead eight athletes to All-Conference honors, four to the NCBWA All-Southeast Region team, four to the D2CCA All-Southeast Region Second Team, three receiving ABCA/Rawlings All-Region awards and Jeremy Begora being selected to the 2025 ABCA Southeast Region All-Defensive team.
Originally from Orlando, Florida, Warde spent his collegiate years playing baseball at DII Flagler College. He was an infielder for the Saints, finishing with a .292 BA over his four years in Saint Augustine. Warde then moved south to Florida Southern University to continue his baseball career and to get his masters degree in Business Administration.
Warde enters his second season as a collegiate coach after just graduating in May of 2024. His assistant coaching role with the Mountain Lions consists of working with the hitters and outfielders.
