North Greenville's national championship season has earned head coach Landon Powell the honor of being named the NCAA Division II National Coach of the Year by the American Baseball Coaches Association and ATEC Sports. Prior to receiving the honor, Landon was also named the Southeast Region Coach of the Year.

Landon Powell was named the head coach of North Greenville baseball in 2014. The program was coming off a 2014 season that ended with an 8-35 record. In his first season as head coach, Landon achieved the program's first Conference Carolinas Tournament Championship and a postseason appearance in the Southeast Regional Tournament. After several years of building the program, NGU baseball has become a consistent threat to the Southeast Region with four consecutive appearances in the Southeast Regional Tournament. This season, the Crusaders finished on top of Division II by winning the 2022 NCAA Division II Baseball Championship Tournament and earning North Greenville University its first-ever NCAA National Championship.
