James Clyde "Jim" Dietz (born 1939) is an American former baseball player and coach. He served as the head baseball coach at San Diego State University from 1972 to 2002, compiling a record of 1230–751–18. After coaching the freshman basketball team and the junior varsity baseball team at the University of Oregon, Dietz was appointed as the head basketball coach at Lewis–Clark Normal School—now Lewis–Clark State College—in May 1971, but turned down that offer a week later to take the head baseball coaching position at San Diego State.[1] In the fall of 2001, Tony Gwynn was hired to replace Dietz at San Diego State following the 2002 season.[2]
